We only had time to cover the 2D ones. You can come on for part 2 for the 3D ones and talk about how much you love Rouge the Bat.

Actually we were talking about Rouge's breasts Saturday evening, great topic. GBA games done too? Raging I didn't get in about the comics.
What's left? - Sonic 3D Blast Flickies' Island/Blast [GG], SA, SA2 and SA2, what did I miss?. I'd this hazey dream about a game called Sonic Heroes, SA2 was the last game that came out, ever right? :P

DinoRex · 21-05-2012 12:49am

I'll stick the podcast up tomorrow if I have time and you can work out what we covered then...

Oh and I like this one:

I understand video game breasts like no other person on Earth.

Hmm I was there too and didn't hear anyone laughing inappropriately! Except the one guy who was chuckling near the start, and then everyone else in the cinema laughed at him. Maybe I just got a good seat

It wasn't as bad as your experience, more a mild distraction. There was a nice crowd in there, not your usual mouth breathing cinema frequenter like. Still though, how the hell is a laser scope pointed as Dysons head funny??

I bought two different 3rd party RGB leads and both were giving a crosshatch pattern over the screen. Honestly have never seen a 3rd party get it right.
It wasn't until I picked up an official Nintendo brand cable from a French ebay seller that the real true quality came through.

Just to confirm, same crosshatch pattern with the consolegoods scart & a Samsung lcd

I'll just buy the official one. Crazy why they can't just replicate what's in the bloody official cable like

I never understand how people are so negative about cinema audiences. Was a decent respectful audience yesterday, definitely, but no more so than your average IFI audience (actually, there was an unusual amount of toilet-goers during the film - the problem with beer friendly films

). Granted, I might just be going to the right cinemas / screenings, but I go at least once or twice a week and very, very rarely have to put up with irritating crowds. Even in bigger cinemas like Cineworld it's been a long time since I was genuinely bothered by a cinema-goer.

Count yourself lucky, going to the right cinema/times/films. I think you know in your heart & soul what the cinema can really be like without me having to explain it

I do, but it's been such a long time since I experienced it (Hunger in Cineworld was the last time I specifically recall the unsavory element, and what a highly inappropriate that film was for that!). The most recent problem I've encountered, however, is over-enthusiastic elderly couples. I remember seeing Another Year in the IFI a year or two ago, and a couple beside me gasping, crticising and 'tut tutting' at the actions of the characters on-screen :pac:

Lol, yeah I've been witness to that before too.

The way I look at it is, if I can sit still for 90 mins without talking, p1ssing, making a racket, checking the time, checking my phone, kicking other seats, laughing at stupid things for the sake of laughing...then everyone should be able to do it.

It's not always that way, sometimes it's grand. But in my experience, most times there's usualy some annoying cnut within earshot.

Are you insinuating I'm some kind of black hat hacker? Nah, I meant it in the comedic monocle wearing sir sense. Like the way o1s1n has a pantry & the pyongster has a mountain lodge.

My hacking abilities are about ten years old, best I was able to do was gain access to Win 98 boxes through an lmhosts hack. I did leave a note saying I was there though & how to close the vulnerability

See, I'm not all bad!

No one with a pantry or gold wallpaper in his drawing room could possibly ever instigate a slagging assault.

I am deeply offended you would associate me with such a base practice.

Just got a replacement power supply from Mitch; it's a MD-9916A
The inputs are marked as AC 1 and AC 2, does anyone know whcih is live and which is neutral; also there's no COM connection on it (the old one had 2); are these needed?

Did you cover the master system and game gear games? I really liked those ones and only found out recently that they were made by Yuzo Koshiro's development team Ancient, which explains why the music in them was amazing.

Yep

i threw out a special mention to this one:

Which is like happiness on crack for me.

BlitzKrieg · 21-05-2012 5:09pm

next time I should be more prepared, I didnt intend to waffle as much on the comics and personal things.

We pretty much only covered sonic 1991-1995 so if there is a part 2 planned we still got the GBA and all the 3d games to talk about and I'd like to do that with someone mostly for the actually argument on what went wrong with each title.

I had a tiny rant on my hatred of Chaotix on the day...

BlitzKrieg · 21-05-2012 5:23pm

Also I never got to talk about this cause we didnt reach it:

One of the more obscure nods back to classsic sonic in the newer games.

I disconnected pin 16 on this in the end, so it's basically a composite scart now. It's still far better than the oversaturated Blaze cable...but it's still composite

At least now the console is playable.

Not many official cables around at all...

The personal bits are what make it interesting to listen to.. otherwise you might as well read Wikipedia aloud to yourself and not bother with the podcast at all.

The less said about Sonic Underground the better......
Speaking of Sonic, picked up the GM 20th anniversary magazine on Zinio last night.
Mainly stuff I already knew but still a nice little retrospective

Anyone own or know much about these SNES adapters that let you play Mega Drive Cartridges?

This one was spotted on this page, a fair bit down:

And TotoTek have one called RetroGen:

Do they both have the same hardware inside ye reckon?

Aye. That yoke was posted here not so long ago I think and I couldn't understand why anyone would use such a thing. Not like an MD is expensive to buy. Not likely anyone would want to use a Snes pad with an MD game (that presumably wasn't already available on the Snes)?

Maybe it's interesting as a tech proof of concept or something.

Yeah I posted the Tototek one a while ago, its just a curiosity as ya said

All for the device itself, it's a weird one alright. Almost sacrilegious!

Every time someone puts crap speedmetal in a youtube video as background music , god kills a kitten.FACT!
That adaptor would have been the business twently years ago when you either had a SNES or a Meg but its probably more of a curio now.

DinoRex · 22-05-2012 3:58pm

I'd only be interested in Tototek if it replaced all in-game music with Toto's Africa!
