    Keep it up, well jealous of some of those

    I only sell off the unwanted seconds and thirds :):)
    I'd never let go of anything rare or tasty, I'd live on the streets with them and built a shack out of Darius Alpha cases and cards :D

    Any time one finds oneself becoming jealous of Steve, just remember how many copies of Rise of the Robots he owns, and feel pity instead. ;)

    In fact if that exact NES Steve bought was actually an official limited edition Nintendo product back in the Day, I can guarantee the collectors on here would pay silly money for it and praise how aesthetically pleasing it is.

    It's glorious looking as is, official or not makes no odds. Just don't go insulting the original Nes, that's a paddling :D

    I always wanted to try and get one of these signed by Brian May for a laugh.

    Have a friend who stalks famous people for autographs/plectrums and he actually met May before (managed to get a sixpence out of him!)

    I might give him a copy of the game to have on standby just in case :D


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 51,852 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    I've asked Biran May about it before. He doesn't remember much or has blocked it from his memory.

    Hah, speak for yourself. :D

    And I don't think anyone has said Steve's NES isn't nice looking? I just disagree with you saying the original NES looks dull & drab.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,886 ✭✭✭Steve X2


    I think the original NES design is certainly a classic and iconic look. Personally, and leaving all sentimentality out of it, the NES is a bad design(the hardware itself, not the colours etc). They should have just used the Famicom design with a more Euro/US friendly colour scheme.

    But anyway, I wouldn’t be without my own grey Nintendo box, this painted one is just for the looks and somewhat of a curio to sit on my shelf or a glass cabinet(if I ever find a decent sized one for less than 1k!).

    I can see how some could see the NES as being dull and drab, it's a grey box :pac:

    Such an iconic design though and amazing how far removed it is from the Famicom. You really could see how Nintendo were trying to get it to fit in with western home entertainment setups of the time.

    That cartridge mechanism can go die in a fire though.

    Not sure if anyone here is into watches, but just got my first mechanical!

    A Laco Aachen. Great value for money. I've been after for a WW2 styled aviation watch so no better than a company who made the real things.

    Has an automatic rotor which winds the watch from your natural movements, but you can manually wind it up too for about 40 hours of life.

    The numbers on the dial use superluminova which make it look like it came out on a nuclear reactor at night :D

    IMG_20160722_140505732_zps0jazvmqp.jpg

    I think I might be developing the beginnings of a new hobby, already looking for my next one.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,497 Mod ✭✭✭✭Andrew76


    Oh that's very nice indeed o1s1n! :cool:

    I have two Seiko automatics, everything else is a G-shock bar my old Traser watch. I do a bit of lurking over on the Watches & Timepieces forum but it's dangerous for your wallet. :pac:

    Their 'post here when you get something new' thread is mind boggling. The amounts of times someone posted a nice watch, I've thought 'oooh that's lovely, might pick one up' - only to google it and see it comes in around €10k :eek:

    That's a thing of beauty and simplicity. Turns out I've got very expensive taste in watches, have a few on Pinterest, and my favourite ones, when I went to look to see how much they were ranged from $35,000 to $300,000...

    :eek:

    Needless to say, won't be getting those!!!

    I simply love my Pebble Classic
    I have a Pebble Time 2 on the way from the recent Kickstarter, should have it in November.
    Brilliant watches.

    A mechanical might be nice though, plenty of tidy Seikos and Citizens out there.

    I've gone to the dark side, moved away from my Pebble watches and now only use Apple Watch!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,014 ✭✭✭✭Corholio


    Haven't posted any gets in a while.

    Lufia German big box version.

    The German big box titles are some of the hidden gems of the PAL catalogue imo.

    The triumvirate is complete. Finally managed to pick up a decent priced SF version.

    Do they tell the time though? Or just let you know someone posted something on Facebook that you need to look at on your phone (when they're not plugged in charging). :P

    I do charge it most nights, that’s one thing from the Pebble Steel I miss, the battery life.
    It’s got a few features I like and the health tracking actually works well in tandem with the iPhone. I’ve filtered the notifications so I just get what I need.
    It’s a gadget nobody needs, but I do like my gadgets :)
    If we ever get a “new gadget gets” thread you’ll all see the full extent of my sickness :)

    Watches and runners have been my main spend lately.... Stowa make a really nice version of that watch. Fairly pricey though.

    You can buy Rolex and Omega watches and the likes at an ok price if you go vintage/used. Keep an eye on the online watch auctions if you're interested. Chrono24 and the saleroom often have live auctions streaming. My cousin has been buying some online and trading up. Handy way of eventually getting something you like without paying through the nose.

    For a second there, just a second, I thought the pillow would have lots of photos of the user Doge on it, which would be awesome... and creepy at the same time.
    And then I saw the attached photo, and its a doge pillow, which is still creepy, but less so....

    Went to the Market in Balbriggan and got.... Feck all.
    No BGOllie style get hauls here :(
    But I did pick up Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 for the PS which is bringing back all sorts of double plus good memories right now, especially that soundtrack!
    Nothing like a bit of Public Enemy/Anthrax to get you energised on a Sunday morning!

    Left behind one n64, n64 sports titles, two megadrive model 2, more MD sports titles, 2 xbox and about 4 psone,2 silver ps2 slim for other people to find. although by the looks of it they'll be there next week too

    That market in balbriggan is big but you need to get there first thing in the morning as people do deals there before the thing "officialy" opens. In general, city markets and shops aren't great because they're picked constantly and early.

    A few things landed in work for me this morning,
    Internal Section, for the PS, courtesy of Steve Bailey.

    and a free pouch of coffee!

    And the other is Excitebots Trick Racing, for the Wii.
    Not released outside of NTSC territories, this is a bizarre entry into the Excite- series, but is a lot of fun, having played it by... means, some time ago.
