Text from Parcel Motel saying there isn't enough money in my account to ship on a package - I'm not waiting on anything though. Weird. Topped up anyway, wonder what this mystery package is?!

Nah, but I wouldn't put it past some poor soul who owns it, to pick a random address, & send it off to someone else free of charge :pac:

31 euros for Gal Gun on the PS3... I'm going to feel dirty buying this.

You know you're going to hell, right?
Nothing but Halo games to play all day!

That game is saville-ware through and through, very dodgy!

Surely not one, but a team of dedicated people would be required to run the social side of things given how often & wildly the price market changes?

Mr.Saturn · 04-06-2013 05:28PM

I believe the position is actually referred to as 'sh*t-taker'.

If its unsolicited junk mail Parcel Motel have stated on the PMotel thread that they will refund the 3.50 as a gesture of goodwill.

It's €3.50?! For some reason I kept thinking it was €2.50. - I guess that solves the mystery as to why I couldn't receive an order with €2.50 in the account

This is the man who is frequently and vocally broke, yet has absolutely no problem 'blowing' (verb intended) 30 euro on a farcical, basically offensive to everyone game that sums up everything that is wrong with Japanese otaku culture, and a novelty game that a thirty second youtube clip ably sums up.

I'm not saying this two points are directly related... Actually that's exactly what I'm saying :pac:

If I was the curious sort I'd have spent far more time tapping that frickin' cube than I actually did

Well, if it's here in time for the next Beers in mine, sometime in July, I hope you'll have to decency to wait for my 10 year old son to go to sleep, as well as my XXyear old wife, and play it with the TV muted!
And if the cops ask me anything I was downstairs, playing Cho Aniki!

ARG! I thought this was a real arcade convention. I mean, I don't want DotA or any of that. I just want stuff like this.

Oh man, am I depraved of some arcade fun.

Retr0gamer · 05-06-2013 01:26AM

I was lucky enough to play 8 player linked Daytona back in the day when I was in Florida.

OwaynOTT · 05-06-2013 01:51AM

What's the retro gaming scene like in Canada, anything like how the US one is depicted in Game Chasers?
Has anyone here tried getting games when there?
Looks like I might be there for a few months and might go mad buying nes and snes stuff. Oh and a 3do if they can be gotten cheapish.

Imagine how much wiring is involved in that. Upkeep must be a nightmare.

Amazing bit of kit though. Thats one of the main things I miss about arcades - crazy machines which you could never replicate at home.

Some things are better left buried...

The game discs are buried in landfill in New Mexico and have been covered with cement.
