Guitar hero does funny things to you. I've seen the notes for Through the Fire and the Flames running through my head while I was trying to sleep many times, ha. Also, after staring blankly at the notes for 3+ minutes at a time when you look away other things look like they're moving. Sometimes the tv looks like it's rising up, wood grain seems to be shifting around and moving closer, stuff like that.

and here I was thinking that it was just me

Only one game had that effect on me, Turrican 2 on the C64. What an amazing game. Much easier than the first iirc so played it to the finish. Couldn't sleep a wink that night. :pac:

Awesome game. Played and completed it on c64 too!

Forget the RR, BookerT saved a McDonald's from being robbed with the Spinaroonie, that's what we should be talking about.

Can you dig it? SUCKAAAA.

I'm pretty certain that was from a comedy website. Not real at all.

I thought it was a r@re drunk post from Limerick myself....

Definitely r@re unless Atavan was down here, the thoughts of having to go to a pub withers me.
Is it? I hadn't been keeping watch on it. Won't be getting a PS4 til PS5 is out, seems to be the way I go with consoles.
Not like someone else on here who gets consoles on launch and then tries to sell them because there's no games on it

Seen a helicopter game just like this in Tokyo last year.
Looked like it'd turn your stomach

I'd well believe it, empty stomach only. Don't think it will ever grace these shores in anyway.

Never say never, he's on a bit of a spree at the moment. I think he's after Keithgeo's crown.

I don't suppose any of you guys know where I could pick up some decent looking comic book frames?

I have a few comic sized prints that I'd like to throw up on the wall in some sort of presentable fashion.

Doesn't everyone use those cheap €2 Ikea frames for comic books and records

These ones, click here

Tomo.Murphy

Never thought to try ikea. Thanks! I'll have a look at their site now :-)

Too late. Already told her.

Ikea are great for frames, got a bunch of them for arcade flyers a while back, look a treat.

I was just there yesterday, picked up two frames for some paintings.
They really can't be beat, especially compared to the sort of prices charged by more traditional framers.

1. Cool prints.

2. Yeah I've got a good few of those frames for comics. They're slightly larger than the size of the page but throw an old comic the edges to make up the space and it's all good.

Tomo.Murphy

Thanks all! :-)

I'll have to pick up a few to surround my Marvel 'last supper' canvas :-D

I gave up dying my hair mad colours but this makes me want to go back ... It took forever to nurse it back though so I might try with like hair chalk or temp spray.
