    Ohhh right cool well even still I may then need a lift home afterwards, lol. Or at least a lift into town where I can then get a taxi home or whatever.

    Planning on bringing my original Xbox 1 with CoinOps 4 loaded onto it. Does anybody object to this? May also possibly bring my Dreamcast with VGA adapter and Link83 bios mod.

    The only thing you'll need to bring to Ciderman's is something to catch all the drool when you check out how many consoles he has set up in his attic ;)

    Having had a career in working serving people who need such products I was not, in any way, prepared for this...

    So, this is what happens, apparently, when Ann Summers is making incontinence wear for men.... oh dear :(

    On the plus side, you'll certainly get some looks from the ladies walking down the street wearing one.

    And what has been seen cannot be unseen...

    I can see some of the lonelier members of the forum nipping off to McCabes to buy a pair....

    No, there is a bus, and as for Rock Band, as long as it's for the 360 or Wii yup, no PS3 in mine, unless someone wants to give me one... a PS3 ffs!

    I have a full Rock Band kit (even the oft-neglected keytar) if needed. Bit of a pain to transport, but should be able to sort it out. Music game fan or not, full band RB is ****ing amazing when blasting out Power of Love!

    I think I might have some friends from across the smaller sea visiting in and around this beers, but hoping it won't clash.

    All for 360!

    I'd bring along my HDD too, but alas experience has shown MS don't take too kindly to swapping them from console to console!

    Perfect, because all my games are for the 360. Been trying to get the full set now for the past few weeks but they're a pain to come across and people don't respond on adverts :(

    Can always just recover your gamertag!

    The problem is more trying to use the stuff on it. Admittedly I haven't tried too hard in the past, but I haven't been able to use all my DLC and imports on another Xbox. Think you might be able to get around it if you're online?

    Hmm, I had a few friends over a couple of weeks ago and one of them recovered their gamertag and was able to download their rockband DLC on my console. Could give it a go I suppose!

    Sounds like this'll be a blast... at least for Rockband fans!
    Luckily we have Frequency and Amplitude for those who don't like rhythm games.... oh, sorry....


    Valleyoftheeunos, you're more than welcome along!

    So, quiz fans...

    Does the King of Hipsters refer to one of following in the above statement?

    A- The Power of Love
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkAVfsw5xSQ



    2- The Power of Love
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lr0xJBsVbZY



    (iii)- The Power of Love
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShN8UIk5-mw


    or

    z- Atari Jaguar?

    It's not the playing of the game, but the associated lecture that gets me down...

    Anyways,
    Repton is better!

    The fact he didn't respond immediately with some witty retort is telling that Sparks is growing up, leaving his childish obsession with Boulder Dash behind, and getting some brand new childish obsessions instead!

    Leave Sailor Moon out of this, it's awesome!

    Screw Rock Band. I promise to bring my GC to this one so we can finally play 8 player Double Dash.
