The Revenge of the Post Here When You Get Something New thread

Buggering buggeration!
Got an email from revenue saying there's a further €26 owned on my item from Japan.
And I have a bigger problem.
I am having it delivered to my workplace, so I have to leave the money with reception and hope it all works out.
There's no apparent way of paying it over the phone or online.
Now that's arseholery behaviour if ever there was some!

It's a government run operation isn't it? No surprise there then.

Anyway, hopefully the games will be worth it after all the hassle you've had. PS1 games are they the Namco stuff?

Yeah, I had a few of the PAL editions for the PS at release, but over the intervening decades they disappeared (or got traded in, more likely tbh).

I have been looking at this set for a while, in one form or another.
Pyongy got them a while ago and I was dead set on picking myself up a set but life got in the way, damn you life!!!

But the chance popped up again, and I got a complete Japanese set for what was a good price, around the 80/90 region, posted.
Of course now that my great mates in Revenue have gotten their paws on them the price has jumped up €26
Still, it's not a bad price for a set like this.

Interestingly, at least to me, is the Volume Controller from Namco, again I directed Pyongy where to get one way back when for the same purpose, is also on it's way, according to tracking it's here in the country now which will lead to the interesting situation where the item ordered a week later from the same company will get here before the first item....
I'm glad I typed that out because if I tried to say it out loud what little mind I have may leak out through my nose... again...

I own mother 2, meant to get Enternow to do a job on that cart actually.

Ah the contoller is massive but sits well in my hand it seems, cant wait till some good games start coming out for it :P

Ah sure you might as well just pick up NSMBWiiU and ZombiU.

My son got a gift this morning from Club Nintendo


I had a bunch of Nintendo points left and figured it'd encourage him to tie his laces!



And, by the morning I should finally have my Namco Museum Stuff in hand, which seem to have spent more time sitting on a Customs shelf than actually in transit from Japan!
I can't wait!
I was considering bringing a region free PS with me so I could try them out, but figured the powers that be may not share my love of gaming.......

It's this weekend isn't it?

Yup, this Friday evening, just about to evict the prolific spider population from the gamesroom, they have set up a makeshift barrier of web and sent out leaflets to the other insect inhabitants with the phrase "if you tolerate this then your grubs will be next" written on them.

Isn't that pool filled with water that turns blue when someone pees in it?

Is it all Atavans??

Should someone tell him???

Does he already know and does he like it????

My son is heading on holidays with his grandparents tomorrow and in preparation for all that sunshine he's bought himself a game to play, the new Paper Mario Sticker Star for the 3DS, he finished Luigis Mansion 2 and has been saving so,
Well Done that chip off the old block!
