    I would suggest that there is cause for caution - too many cooks have been proven to spoil the broth (digital and otherwise).

    But still - fascinated to see what the project could be to get them all on board together.

    I watched Videocracy the other night on Netflix and this was in it.
    A really mental campaign song from everyone's favourite pimp daddy of politics, Silvio Berlusconi.
    My girlfriends never seen it and neither has anyone in her family so I'm not sure how much airtime this actually got in Italy.

    Videocracy is worth a look by the way.

    Please note the blonde who cant sing at 1:18. She's clearly slept with Berlusconi to be in this video :)

    Just seen Da Rage's latest haul on facebook...

    They're selling a gameboy player for the gamecube for 60 quid!

    Erratic pricing is erratic.

    I got one off them brand new and sealed last year for 20 euro.

    It'll probably sell for that price as well, which is even crazier than the pricing.

    Guy in Fairyhouse was flogging a fairly tatty looking SNES for €65 last weekend, seemed a bit much given the state of it.

    Redonkulous (is that how it's spelt?) I was offered a NES, some dodgy looking games(looked like bootlegs, if that's possible), about 6 Atari 2600 carts, 2 unoffical nes pads and a few odd looking yellow cassette tape games for €20 at a market last Sunday , too bad I left my wallet at home :( Does anybody know what the yellow cassette tapes were for?

    I just remembered, they were probly speccy tapes

    Played a bit of my new Bangaio this afternoon and very nice it is too, one of the best €4 I have yet spent, it's a bit mad isn't it?
    I know I had a "copy" of it a while ago but never played it, really.
    Now I have spent some money on it, even a nominal sum, I want to get into it.

    He might not have known the value so just picked a high one incase somebody went for it. Probably could have bargained him down.

    Like on adverts.ie many post a high asking price knowing full well they will not get it.

    That little b@stard will be with us forever and ever now, inside our heads...
    If you do it and here the sound of any other Namco characters you should probably seek professional help!

    I noticed the other day that there's a Pac-man Party Game on the 3DS... I'd imagine it's horrible!

    I hear the Dig Dug music every time I move. Is there a psychological condition for that?

    "Thumb's up" if you spent your childhood playing pacman and ended up munching on pills in dark rooms later on in real life!

    Sorry now for the triple post, but that is one of the random and silly-funniest gaming relating things I've ever seen, and I've watched a fair few of their videos!

    There should be a flash mob would a **** load of people running the street doing this in random directions.

    Dig Dug when you move?
    It's better than the Vice City soundtrack in my head when I'm driving on a sunny day!
    Or the Ico themes as I step outside on a summers morning... lovely...

    Could do without memories of Rise of the Robots when I do a number 2 in the bathroom and look in the bowl before flushing!!

    Oh, the sweet joys of a detached house and two and a half foot speakers from the 70s.

    /Cranks stereo to 11.

    I swear to god, if I do eventually buy a house, and it's semi detactched, my neighbours are doomed. At the moment the house foundations are literally rumbling to Rush. Rumbling!! Gotta have you lot around here for a beers sometime soon :)
