    We should set up an A&R tactical team
    For sellers like that

    I threw up a little. Worst packaging I've ever seen. And I've seen someone on here have a JAMMA board delivered in a used pizza box.

    We'd form the A&R version of Mossad, hunting down the enemies of the one true gamers, retrogamers, and sending a clear message to other people considering sending precious cargo in inappropriate packaging.

    But where would it end?

    Do we send a wetworks team to abduct and murder the creators of Legend of Dragoon?

    Do we plant explosives in the car head rest of the developer of Rise of the Robots?

    Do we use high tech means to erase every trace of the game Boulder Dash from the planet, before putting Sparks up against a wall with a pepperami in his mouth?

    Too small a scale, we have a true weapon of mass destruction at our disposal you forget...

    Hopefully they don't counter that picture with the one of Atavan licking a bottle of Captain Morgans.

    That's mutually assured destruction right there.

    Joking aside, this is the sort of total indifference that should get a seller blacklisted from being trusted to sell anything more than an unboxed cart.

    If Feckless McShurcardboard'll-Begrand gives you the runaround, do everything by the book. Small claims court and all that if it comes to it. Getting every cent you paid back from the jackass matters more.

    Finding their whereabounts to make sure they get tarred, feather-and-Rise-Of-The-Robots-ed can wait 'til after that.

    Every time this photo comes out, a little part of me wonders which A&R member secretly does drag and what's getting written is actual jealousy.

    Don't make me name names.

    Don't read too much into it, it's basically a picture of Retr0 dressed up as a girl & seemingly loving it. What more reason is needed to post it? :pac:

    No jealousy here, he's welcome to indulge in the cross dressing, cosplay culture.
    And that's our Retr0...

    Could be worse,
    He could be a hipster like Mr Ultimate!

    :pac:

    RAGE €1 bin. If anything its pretty damning evidence that Ciderman's completely right about SoR.

    Also:

    203291.jpg

    (Don't have a 2600 (yet) but its something I wanted to grab for an upcoming project). I'm not relying on this being a working cart but it'd be a nice surprise if it is.

    Anyone spot what's odd with this copy of FIFA?

    Ack. Bad photo. Its not too interesting anyways.

    203296.jpg

    NTSC Genesis copy of FIFA in a PAL MegaDrive's box. Stoopid low res cam settings...

    Again this is something I'm not counting on working, and in any case I don't have a Genesis or a modded MD to test if it plays.

    What the cart does have is a battery backup used for tournament data saving. So this is something I can practice soldering and desoldering on (so I've a little practice before I attempt to replace the clock battery in my DC).

    Unfortunately it's not an NTSC cart. All ea games of the mega drive era had that printed on them. Obviously too lazy to localise the cart stickers for Europe!

    Having just checked I stand corrected. LAME.

    Though I always suspected of EA doing the bare minimum of changes with each FIFA release for a long, long time :D

    Just got an update on my Nintendo iQue, it hit "IRELAND P'LAOISE SDS" yesterday evening so hopefully the postman in work will have something nice for me before lunch today.

    Does anyone else have one of these? Just wondering if I'm the first to nab one here :)

    I started watching sailor moon recently. I wanted to look at something silly and braindead after a crap day and being very tired. I discovered that sailor moon is awesome and absolutely hilarious and now I'm addicted.
