    Flashback is on the cover Retrogamer this month. May have to pick that up... one of my all time favourite games.

    There's two answers to that. Yes or you don't have a pulse.

    Maybe he accidentally played one of the CDi versions?

    Had I not met him IRL I wouldn't believe he's a real person. In fact I'm not sure that even was him those times I did meet him.

    You were drunk at the time.

    Well I say that but then that's true of about 90% of your average day so...

    I believed he was real until he attained CMod status. We all know that CMods and Admins are just computer programs running on the boards.ie servers.

    I seen him after he became a C-Mod. You know that scene in Superman 3 when the super computer turns the woman into a cyborg?...

    Just had a talk to Richie about this. It's based on seeing a youtube video.

    This is the man who believes Sonic Adventure is a superior game to Mario 64, which is like favouring a half smoked cigarette you find on the ground to a slap-up meal :pac:

    Sonic adventure is better than mario 64 though, to me at least.

    I will always root for the blue team :P

    I had the great misfortune of picking it up recently. It IS as bad as people say.

    I've heard waterboarding is big in US interrogation rooms, but I don't feel the urge to run out and try it, in the off chance it's just the kind of experience I'm looking for!

    Shin Megami Tensei IV getting some stellar reviews:

    http://www.metacritic.com/game/3ds/shin-megami-tensei-iv

    Looking like Game of the Year material for me.

    We'd never accuse you of making a bold judgement before you actually play the thing, of course ;)

    Does anyone watch Game Center CX (Retro Game Master). It's a Japanese show where the host plays retro games.

    Each year he heads to a different country for a 2 hour special. This year he is heading to Paris. Last year he went to Cambodia:

    And I never would. Not saying it's my game of the year just saying that it looks like it could be a contender.

    Only worry is Kat Bailey gave it 8.5. I trust her opinion the most and while 8.5 is fantastic I would have expected more from her.

    FFS. I need to catch a train and my laptop decides now is the best time to install 16 updates.

    Even worse I'm forced to use a Mac to post this. Shudder.

    You're missing out. Best show ever made about videogames.

    ^ THIS!
    You've not lived until you see Paris Daker? (I'm too lazy to check on my phone) Rally. I wish they'd put out more episodes I'm caught up on all the subs.
