    Says the Final Fantasy 7 cynic who has spent the last several days replaying Final Fantasy 7 :p

    Well that might be the cause of it. I turned it off the other night after 5 minutes because I wasn't really enjoying it. I'm trying to see what the fan translation is like but so far it adds nothing tothe game really.

    I come home from Inside Out and this is the first thing I hear?

    I can hear the defence forces and Goobers now.

    "Hogan's just speaking his mind, and I respect that."

    "WHAT HAPPENED TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH!?"

    "But Hogan should have lots of black friends. Remember when he tagged with Mr. T at the very first WrestleMania?"

    Turns out this God forsaken place in Brittany has an arcade and its high points include Mario Kart Arcade and Outrun 2, the latter of which I have beaten, albeit the easy course, with the novice car... still got the high score though.
    Seems like the the main player of racing games here are those children who wrestle with the steering wheel and controls, in the hope of coming first, despite the fact that the thing they are playing is, in fact, the attract mode demo as their dad has spent all the money on slots and pints.

    Remember that time a dog was drowned in the background of a Hulk Hogan movie?

    That is just a complete mystery to me. Like...did they even notice it in the dailies? Was the budget so constrained and Hogan that difficult to work with that they couldn't just reshoot it, or even just use a different take?

    An Amiga was the stuff of dreams for me, & was way outta my league in terms of price as a kid :( It still holds a kind of grail place in my heart though, despite barely ever using one. I'd love to pick up a 1200 at some point, with the cf adapter/hdd etc installed.

    We got a second hand A500 as our Christmas present one year from the folks - one of the best pressies ever, up there with a BMX even! The keyboard got a bit wonky over time where it wouldn't register keypresses so you had to power off and on when switching games rather resetting with keys. Got it fixed in some underground repair shop on Parnell St, not sure if it was part of the old Peats shop that was there at the time. Good times. :)

    Unrelated, anyone heard of Galak-Z? Coming out soon on PS4 and later on PC. 2D shooter where your shmup can also transform into a mech. :cool:

    Looks cool.

    Yeah it looks interesting and their last game skulls of the shogun is a bit of an under appreciated gem. Still the whole mech thing was done better in Hyperduel :P

    I was just in the Saturday market in Dol de Bretagne and there was very little there, some PS2, 3 and 4 games, 360 and One and a load of DS and 3DS but everything pretty common.
    Might seeing by Rennes one of the days and see what's there.

    Yeah. Think it was part of Peats. My shift and space bar keys took a pounding with Pinball Fantasies and had to be replaced. Think my modulator broke once and had to be repaired too. Finally realised you didn't need that thing if you just used a scart cable which was great as that thing really juts out at the back.

    New CeX opening in Bray shortly. I can't wait to get my hands on all those cheap movie spin-offs for the PS2! Have been holding off on getting The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe for such an occasion.
