    Phil Fish says he was joking when he posted that tweet and to be honest I'd kind of believe it, for how much of a twat he is nobody can be that bad. He's now telling people that if they don't want to pay $9 then just pirate it and shut up because at least you'll get to enjoy it.

    Well, if you posted that you'd probably think it over later, a bit like Atavan this morning!
    But he seems to be generating an awful lot of attention given his relatively small contribution to gaming.
    But, I'd probably be more entertained listening to him telling us how stupid game designers are and how great he is than listen to Molyneaux tell us, once again, how his latest game is going to change gaming FO-EVA!!!
    Him and David Cage should probably go die in a hole somewhere.....

    Last night in centra I was apparantly picking up cat food and shouting that I was going to get some pussy.

    We'll, there was that unsuccessful Fable game for the Kinect and the cancelled game that amounted to a paedo simulator..

    So that's where they came from? I had always wondered who invented dogs.

    Now I know!

    Anyone ever see this photo? Pretty cool. Seems there was an official Megadrive floppy drive in development at one point.

    That looks cool, I wonder have any protos been found?

    Good old sega, slapping every conceivable add on onto consoles since the 90's.

    You sold it to him, it's now his, so he can do with it as he pleases, no?

    Missing the point I think. Of course he can do whatever he pleases with it. Still doesn't make it any less of a dick move though.

    On a brighter note, he sold it for €45 as well, so there you go..... or something....

    But, if you bought a copy of Radiant Silvergun off of a guy for €20, and you already had it, would you really flog it for €20?

    I'd make sweet love to it first.

    Didnt there used to be a ' no profiteering' charter on adverts forbidding pretty much that? .

    The admins will just tell you to call the police.

    And people get sore at you for trying to sell your copy of Ibara for more than you bought it for initially :(

    Next GBA games to get

    Zelda link to the past
    Zelda minish cap

    Can't believe I sold boxed minish cap for a fiver back in the day :mad:


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,139 ✭✭✭martineatworld


    I think the time frame has to be taken into account. Fair enough if it's a few months down the line but throwing it up the next week is a bit cheeky.

    Check out some of the other add ons! A drawing tablet, keyboard...modem. Looks like they were thinking about making it into a pc.

    I bought one off ebay a while back for cheap so pretty sure its a bootleg. Works grand though, playing it at the moment on the gamecube player, enjoying it alot.

    It's actually been traded.........for another Gamecube Zelda. I've keeping tabs of Twilight Princess on Adverts for the last eon; two in a week fly right by me.

    yeah he traded it for €15 cash plus Zelda Windwaker (which the other guy wanted €40 for, and which I had sold for €40 including postage), so he did make a profit on it.

    I still have the original Minish Cap that I bought on release. Got it and a tribal SP the same day. What does Minish Cap fetch these days mint & cib?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    I don't know exactly. 30 quid odd? Maybe more. Rage sells it unboxed for 20 so.
