  • Registered Users Posts: 3,695 ✭✭✭DinoRex


    I impressed a girl the other day by showing her photos of that time we cleared Bubble Bobble at Retr0's place.

    Are you sure that isn't a dream you had after falling asleep?

    No honestly, it was like the first or second beers I went to afaik, think it was the same night something happened with the X Arcade, not sure

    Something happened with the X Arcade? You're not talking about the hooker who tried to get some work out of me, Retr0 and Dinorex on the way back from Augmersons are you? (that's what we get for going to a beers on Lesson street)

    I can assure you that nothing funny happened with the X Arcade on that walk home. :pac:

    I paid about €200 inc shipping for mine last year, put a wanted thread on jammaplus and got loads of pms, mostly in the region of €200-300 for original taito.

    That's how I finished the final boss in MGS4!
    I dozed off about 3 times and opened my eyes to find I had completed the game!
    Says a lot about the sophisticated gameplay of the title when someone randomly hitting a button whilst drooling can overcome it...
    Actually, that also reminds me of Streets of Rage players..... (come on now, it's been ages since I commented on that franchise!)

    Hmv appears to be in trouble. If it goes that means the only place left to buy new games in a bricks and mortar really is GameStop =\ a worrying thought indeed!
