    Just a thought....
    Here is a thread for all those things that would have met with derision and withering comments from Retr0 if he were posting.

    So, if you like RF, have no real issue with 50hz, don't think the CDi Zelda's really need to exist or have no truck with male dating sims, post your comments here!

    Nothing ages about games, time is never 'not kind' to games, it's our perception of them that changes not the damned games.

    The cd-i is basically an educational/porn player which made a total bollox of the term console. The cd-i Zelda's are not canon.

    There's nothing wrong with owning a PAL NES, sure it's 50hz...but not owning one is 0hz

    Weird dating sims are not games

    Retr0 badly needs to unclutter the cables at the back of his tv

    Halo is probably nowhere near as bad as he says, I dunno...


    AAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhh...I can breathe again :D

    The sticky threads are so bloated because everyone keeps on congratulating each other & going off-topic.

    Discuss. :D

    Also, PS2 is retro now.

    Composite cables can be acceptable, especially if the only other choice is rf, not every tv can take RGB.

    Halo is a good laugh, not the greatest game of all time but redefined the console fps, much the same way Goldeneye did many years before.

    Streets of rage and Golden Axe are great games. Am I doing this right?

    I think the worst possible thing we could do while Retr0 is away is to have a Japanese schoolgirl cosplay party without him - he'd feel so left out.

    Sadly (or is it?) that is one step too far for myself. Although I think Atavan may be up for it.

    Now what I said was bad, but that would kill him if he knew :D

    Nearly right but....

    You get to say that when I am on holidays......

    Nearly an insta-ban right there!


    No, more appropriate would be...

    "6/10 seems like a perfectly reasonable score to give Gunstar Heroes as the review was well written and objective, free of Treasure obsessed fan-boy opinion"

    Rise of The Robots? Under-rated. Just a teeny bit.

    Conker is great fun on the N64....

    Normally there would be a fresh page of derision being typed in by Retr0 as soon as I would post such a remark, now though such trolling is a waste of time.... my heart felt opinion not met by any ill-informed vitriol from the Brig Cit native....



    I'm starting to miss him! nOOOO


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,906 ✭✭✭Steve X2


    Sonic 1 on the Mega Drive in 50hz via an old dodgy RF cable is clearly the best way to play the game. The music is also clearly superior when played this way.

    Here's me playing it on my best TV earlier :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 945 ✭✭✭a5y


    This still feels too fast. :confused: You didn't overclock your MegaDrive or something, did you?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,019 ✭✭✭Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy


    Now that I'm free I can talk about Sonic Adventure, where's Blitzkrieg?

    That one in Xenoblade Chronicles had a horrible voice

    Final Fantasy 7 is the best game ever created, Persona is mediocre RPG compared to it :P

    Let's talk about how many Pokémon games we cleared

    While you're there, be sure to put some of the dust back in. I hate it when people use canned air to get the dust out, it makes it less authentic.

    I heard they attempted to round up every CDi ever made, along with the games, march them to Mordor and throw them into Mt Doom....
    Just heard...
    Only way to be sure....


    It was that or nuke the entire site from orbit....

    Pit Fighter, that's what all the hip kids are playing....

    And speaking about hip kids, what's so screwed up and perverted about hipsters?
    I mean, sure, they are a cultural abomination before the gods, but we have accepted pond scum here before and got along grand..... so wear your skinny mustard jeans, your stripy geansaí and your trilby, comfortable loafers and bring your repro Raleigh Chopper, welcome to our humble forum!

    Shaq Fu, on a 50hz Pal Megadrive..... with a standard pad.... that your little brother/sister has gnawed.... Bliss!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,258 ✭✭✭MrVestek


    Shenmue was a terrible game...

    Sonic '06 was the best Sonic game ever...

    Duke Nukem Forever is hands down the best FPS released since... nope definately the best ever.

    Am I doing this right? :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,349 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    Legend of Dragoon is the pinnacle of the JRPG.

    I regularly use my copy of Radiant Silvergun as a coaster for hot drinks.

    I use two copies of Radiant Silvergun, stapled together, as a dust jacket for Legends of Dragoon....


    I also don't find men dressed up as school girls especially funny....


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,679 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Oh, and R-Type Final is the best Shmup of all time, pinnacle of the series at the very least.

    Well, the desert was full of ET carts!
    Had to put them somewhere!
    And Sauron is watching his gaff, seeing as she lives there! (His mum, in case unfamiliar readers aren't sure what I mean)

    Ooooooo, Retr0's back..... it's his front we're afraid of!
    I'm sure he'll be flattered by all the attention!

    But seriously,
    Male Dating Sims?
    Seriously?
    I mean, ok, you don't have to be a Space Marine to play Doom but I'm pretty sure only men who have made a tangential lifestyle choice to the mean will play Male dating sims.... and yet Retr0 is a male, macho, secure in his sexuality...... curiouser and curiouser said Alice.....
