    Very addictive little show.

    The thing is, we have the people here on A&R who could really pull off an Irish version of this show. We have the skill set, the equipment and certainly a few people with some personality and quirks (you know, weirdos :) ) that would make it at least interesting to watch.
    We just dont have any shops or markets worth a damn :(

    But the accent, the godawful Irish accent just doesn't translate well onto camera :( We could get the pyongster to overdub our voices with cool professional sounding English accents :D

    I could dig back to my childhood in America and use that accent :D
    I was in Boston so its not that hill-billy inbred pig rapist accent like a lot of the folk on Game Chasers, but its something :eek:

    Edit:
    And just on the Irish accent. It may not translate very well to film but as someone who's travelled a bit for work and pleasure I think it's probably the most loved accent there is abroad. Also, I'm sure a lot of people here who travel around will agree it certainly helps with the foreign ladies :D
    Of course I'm not counting Cork or Limerick accents here, you guys suck!! :eek: :D
    I'm joking of course:cool:

    No one ever notices that I'm Irish when I'm abroad. Even when I was younger, people who didn't know me well thought I was English.
    Dunno why I said sound, fair and all that other stuff. I could be the voice. And I think we should call it The Super Pal Friends Show

    Did you hear your man in the flea market, "I pass a lot of gas." He was basically saying all he does for the day is fart & sell stuff :D

    Amateur Irish acents on film just makes me cringe, turn on Fair City if you wanna ee what its like :o

    Then you are under utilising your natural Irish powers.
    When I was a single man in a foreign bar or night club I would sometimes pump my Irishness all the way up to 11 :)

    I was wondering what all the
    "I could have just downloaded the rom, maybe I was scammed"
    lines were about in the current episode...but twigged its obviously in reference to the bell-ends going on about the
    Cheetamen 2 'scam' which Billy & Jay were attcked over, not to mention James Rolfe & Mike Matei

    Ok, well I've now watched them all.
    Really like the show and I just wish they had more funds to grab a bit more of that retro goodness that appears to be all around them.
    Man, we really have nothing in Ireland with regards to retro games :(
    The RAGE looks even crappier in my eyes after watching all these episodes.

    I also grabbed the free Retroware TV iOS app to get the latest episodes and check out the other shows. App unfortunately isnt fantastic.

    I heart this thread. Such a cool & fun show. It must be nice living in a country where there's enough of a population to actually sustain a retro collecting hobby/habit without buying everything off of fleabay...

    Sigh, if I could tell the 9 year old me something it'd be "keep all your games, no its not worth selling your SNES to buy stuff and for the love of god keep as many boxes in good condition as you can"

    Just bought the Season1 DVD off indigogo, they have well over the funds needed to make it already, worked out at 23 Euro including delivery but the will sign it too if you ask in the comment section, love this show so much figured it was worth throwing them 23 for it.
