No way! That's really so cool

Why the hell is it so impossible to get Earthbound for a reasonable price?!

Earthbound fans are insane,the good kind of insane but insane all the same. Unfortunately the game suffers from the FF7 effect, very common but too many idiots driving the price up.

Arse!
Me Wii is toast!
I can barely play it now, the display is all over the place.
Looking into getting the gpu replaced, cheaper than a new console and I don't have to worry about getting homebrew to work on another console.

This popped up in the news section of my website and I thought "Cool, a retro review of the Apple Pippin from the Guardian, interesting".

I was sorely disappointed, both at myself for being such a nerd and the Guardian for not having a retro review of the Apple Pippin :rolleyes:

That's how mine started to go. Let me know how what sort of price the repair costs.

DinoRex · 11-12-2011 02:52AM

Watching the Video Game Awards livestream... it's pretty painful stuff...

Retr0gamer · 11-12-2011 02:59AM

I didn't even bother. Any Half Life 3 stuff yet?

Don't be silly... they can't make a Half Life 3 since the voice actor of Gordon Freeman died...

Kojima is currently on doing a horrific job of trying to introduce a Metal Gear clip in broken English...

DinoRex · 11-12-2011 04:01AM

This was pretty much my face while watching the VGAs as well:

The new Metal Gear is pretty much Devil May Cry with Raiden, because everyone loves Raiden!

But the real one is right here!

Actually they should get Charles Martinette to do it,

So is that all of your current gen consoles now have died? Ylod, RROD, & GPU failure? Christ almighty

CiDeRmAn · 11-12-2011 11:05AM

And all my retro consoles, bar the Coleco, are just fine!

There's a lesson in there somewhere....

Now, if I was mischievous I would go trolling for fun in the Nintendo forum...

There's folks in the Playstation forum who would argue the case. I've seen posts there that make out the failure rate of PS3's is within acceptable levels. Such low standards of fanboyism

pdbhp · 11-12-2011 11:20AM

PS fanboys are a rare breed alright and would defend a bucket of cold urine as must have part of the PS console family......

Don't get me started on those Gameboy fanboys...:pac:

CiDeRmAn · 11-12-2011 12:55PM

I bumped into those a**holes when my PS3 died, they simply refused to consider that Sony's console has a design flaw at all.
Fanboys of any hue are muppets of the highest order.
I had a conversation in these parts where someone wanted to know whether to buy a PS3 or 360.
Aside from the traditional, and sensible, cries of "Buy Both!" I made the point that the 360 had a far better back catalogue, when a poster gave a list of, frankly, lacklustre titles and proposed the PS3 superior. A selection of his chosen "best of breed" included Resistance, Killzone and Gran Turismo 5!
Fanboys, should be dragged into the middle of the ocean, set on fire, quenched, then fed to sharks.

Are you saying your a middle-ground fanboy give peace a chance type character?

johnny_ultimate · 11-12-2011 01:33PM

Fanboys are like fatty foods - too much isn't healthy. You'll lose all sense of perspective and people won't want to talk to you anymore if you over do it as you'll smell really bad.

Like what happened to Retr0 when his armpit went septic?

Steve X2 · 11-12-2011 02:26PM

Steep Slope Sliders

Would you include it in a list of Cave games?
I'm not sure how much involvement they had in the game as its very much not a "Cave" game if you know what I mean.

Anyone know what their involvement was in the game?

It's definitely a Cave game, 100%. If you are a small developer and the games you want to make have a small market and a niche then you've got to get by somehow. Look at CyberConnect2, they waited over 10 years making (pretty good) Naruto games just so they could get the funding and greenlight to make a sequel to Tail Concerto, which is Solatorobo.

Cave have their hands in some wierd games. I bet you didn't know that they developed Shin Megami Tensei Imagine which is a traditional MMORPG.

johnny_ultimate · 11-12-2011 03:28PM

I was browsing a games section in Yodabashi Camera Hiroshima one day when I saw the Cave Logo on the spine of a DS game. I got unreasonably hopeful that it would be a dirt cheap copy of Ketsui Death Label.

It was this:

Making farmed out games for a publisher which wants a cheap gauranteed seller is the videogames developers equivalent of sucking dick for a promotion.

Didn't know that.
So I'll include it in my Cave games list.

Cheers all.
