    I'd be more interested in what you're printing them on ?
    Having a tough time finding suitable inkjet-printable glossy stickers to make up a decent set of everdrive labels.

    Quite a few of my pokemon cartridges have wrecked stickers, but I think reprinting stickers would look bad. Lucky pokemon cartridges are colour coded :pac:

    Some threads online recommended this

    I haven't printed out any yet so can't be sure

    Edit: Seems pretty expensive on ebay :(

    Very disappointed with Deadly Premonition Directors Cut.

    Terrible frame rate is just killing the experience for me.

    I heard it's much worse than the 360 version, which is weird because it was originally a PS3 game.

    The gameplay changes do seem good though. Got through the first section section in the woods a hell of a lot quicker somehow and the gameplay definitely felt smoother... looks like some neat new storyline aspects added as well.

    But the engine just doesn't seem to be able to handle their high definition textures. I'm not usually a big stickler for frame rates but it's absolutely crippling here.

    Hope they can patch it. Would rather just the old textures and the new storyline elements and gameplay improvements, I'm not playing this game for it's graphics.

    Anybody ever tried tallying up how many games they've finished/completed in their lifetime to-date?

    I'm at that stage where it's getting hard to keep track.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 53,321 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    I don't even bother, I keep remembering games I played when I was younger, pley them and then realise halfway through I'd beaten them already. FFS if it wasn't for backlog I'd end up buying games I already own (just today I was looking for a cheap FF Legends for the gameboy, luckily I spied in my recent purchases I bought one last week :rolleyes: )

    Is that meant to be Ness/Ninten? Couldn't he just PK'em away?

    Looks almost as hard as walking on the stony bit of the standard Irish beach, which is to say most of it, some very painful memories there....

    Unless it's certain beaches in Dublin, where stones tend to be the least of your worries when barefoot.

    I practice with a band in a studio called Muzzle in Chapelizod. It has a 'rec room' with a pool table and this in the corner not working unfortunately. Needs some tlc.

    Small world, I asked Muzzle about that machine & apparently they don't own it...they're keeping it there for a family friend. They said they'd pass my number onto the owner but alas I never got the call, so it mustn't be for sale. Didn't know it wasn't working though, last time I seen it it was working

    Wouldn't have the room for it first off and more importantly the time, effort, patience and expertise to fix it.

    However the reason I threw it up here was incase someone did want to find out more I could get you the number for the owner and see could ye give it the tlc and home it deserves.

    Yeah it's a shame to see it in such a neglected state.

    I'll won't be practicing there till Monday week but will try and get more info for you then and will pm you.

    Cheers :) As I said I did email them about it some time ago, & they said they'd ask the owner for me and would pass on my number if the owner had any interest in selling. Sure no harm in asking again I suppose

    Yeah no harm in asking again I suppose. It just looks so neglected.

    Sure if nothin comes from it nothing lost.

    How'd you see it first? Do u play in a band too?

    Spot o' rehearsing there before yeah, seen it a couple of times though it was always on & working. I don't mind a monitor fault or something, but if its game board issues I'm not sure I'd want to get involved in it either.

    Wouldn't blame ya. Sure I'll see what I can find out if anything and report back.

    Not a bad spot for rehearsing in fairness. I've seen some awful excuses of rehearsal spots in my time.
