    I know, I know. Not retro, aside from a couple of ideals, and it's another downloadable action-platformer, but it's a feckin' beaut to behold.



    Mind, I'm getting slight Muramasa flashbacks (no pun intended, mostly) on the whole amnesiac-swordsman dealy coupled with the aesthetic.

    Two people just said my avatar looks like a mouse - one thinks a mouse on a motorbike.

    I don't see it?!

    I remember saying that also when you changed it, I think that dust trail thing on the left looked like a tail. Don't see it any more though, looks like a tank now, probably doesn't help it's not in colour.

    Okay, I think I'm going to have to change my avatar...don't really fancy the idea of representing myself with a rodent!

    I've never seen one before, no-one has but I'm guessing it's a white hole.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,211 ✭✭✭MrVestek


    Also I thought some of you here would find this funny:

    Please leave now, your belongings will be burnt.
    Any suggestion that one may not recognise the tank from Metal Slug is against the international charter of retro gamers and so you are condemned to play FIFA and COD games forever.
    Also, a lifetime ban from A&R Beers attendance is mandatory.

    End of line.

    Nice vid thanks. Normally can't watch his videos, chap irritates me no end. :D

    Wonder would the fabric softener sheets help with o1s1n's smokey Nomad bag?

    Lol really? I was like that but started watching all his videos, & got to really like them. He seems very anal/methodical about things, but give me his straight up review style which is high on content/low on humor any day over the usual US type crap that the net is filled with.

    Pat the NES punk has a very weird/quirky humor!

    I actually just got a PS1 bag just like that, bit of a musty/not my house smell off it. Havn't gotten round to cleaning it yet, reckon i could throw it in the washing machine?

    I've heard the best way to clean a smelly dog was scrub it with tomato ketchup, maybe its worth a try.

    Yeah accept it seems to only want to belittle them and try and make out that they have a form of OCD.

    I'm sure it'll do wonders for our image... my gf already thinks I have a problem. I'd rather not perpetuate that stereotype... whether I have a problem or not doesn't matter. :-)


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 5,386 Mod ✭✭✭✭Optimus Prime


    haha well in fairness some of them do have issues, did you see the ammount of starwars stuff they have in that trailer, every room in the house is covered!

    I've got colleagues who are clinical psychologists, consultant psychiatrists, behaviour therapists and grief counsellors.
    Give me a couple of hours we can have the authority to clear half of Steves stuff and the means for him to get over it!
    Let me make a few calls!

    That's what pisses me off so much with things like that.

    'WTF ARE YOU DOING, THEY'RE FOR CHILDREN! IT'S MINDLESS!'

    /Turns back to reading 50 Shades of Grey with the X Factor on the tv in the background.

    (the above isn't my own girlfriend by the way. She rocks! :D)
