Keep Calm And Discuss Retro Generally!

Speaking of sealed/never been opened, how the hell do you:

• get banned on xbox live without ever taking the 360 out of its box?
• without ever taking it out of the box know there are no wires or controls in the box?
• despite having no wires or controls know it works 100%?
• have a console that works 100% without it working on xbox live? (which is evidently 0% of the reason to own one??)

I couldn't make this up.

What have got against Dr Bob?
Hey, Dr Bob!
Want me to ban his intolerant ass?
Just say the word and the only forum he'll have access to will be the Christian one!

Perhaps he means the console itself has never been opened/taken apart?

Ah but sir bob's videos have a point, have some character, & are actually reviews of something other than packaging

Bob knows I'm a fan!

Emm, it looks like Ciderman has quoted me in the above post, but it wasn't me who posted???

Yeah seems to be a mis-quote. Those words were spoken by me. Though the difference between a Dr. Bob review & an unboxing video is like comparing Terminator 2 to Transformers

I suppose he's apparently getting on a bit so the odd mis-quote here and there can be forgiven

It's probably all the excitement of Black Mesa's release that has him befuddled.

I wouldn't normally jump on the ole "lets slag ciderman because of his age" thing but seems as his post looked like it was trying to land me in it.

And it isn't going to have the Xen levels in it either... which is nice!

@DinoRex: Are those Blackwell games worth a punt? Think you mentioned them before. All four for $7.49 on Gog, link.

DinoRex

I enjoyed them a lot. Made me enjoy Graphic Adventure games again. Never got on board with the Tell Tale games stuff.

The Blackwell games get better and more rounded as they go on though.

The first 2 are pretty short, but 3 and 4 are huge.

Resonance is great too. Played through it with Retr0 and Sera recently.

Retr0gamer

I'd recommend Resonance as well, really enjoyed playing it. Seems to lack the illogical puzzle syndrome of most point and clickers.

DinoRex

I liked the bits where we got to scream at Sera for killing our guys with a giant magnet.

I'm a sucker for a happy, 8 bit, 60 Hz ending!

In fairness my videos are all just swears and me failing at games:) . Ive done one unboxing ever (sealed copy of xybots) which turned into a lets compare .
Need to stick up some new vids.playing morrowind/oblivion/skyrim has sucked up most of my free time though.

Dr Bob
