    Ciderdude has pretty much everything so unless it's something truly awful or extremely rare then more than likely he has it...(check the pics of his attic).

    Also for the uninitiated, you may think we sit around playing awesome games and talking about how great they are but the centrepiece is usually some CDi fmv game or something even more horrifying so if you have an awful game.... Then I'll play it.

    Well hopefully there'll be some decent games on display! Not sure I fancy a 200km round trip just to watch CDi muck! :pac:

    The CDi is banned from Beers!
    No one needs the torture of watching a play through of Burn Cycle, Zelda or other such crimes against humanity!

    Hey!
    Space Marines on the 3DO is pretty decent, the one with Genestealers.
    And I hope the floor upstairs can take the attendees, looks like a bumper crop.
    Space Pirates is an FMV shooter starring an ensemble of actors who look like they were picked up from the street, the controls don't work in any way that's logical, and the shot detection must have been done by an especially inept intern... it's pure cheese and all the better for it.

    Wow
    Sucks to be you! ;)

    I know though, I used to do nights and think of all the people having a laugh on a Friday night into Saturday morning as I went around the ward checking the lads.

    @Cidey - On the assumption you own a PSP of some sort - would you mind if I tested a few games on it at the beers please? I got some Monster Hunter UMDs recently but don't own the handheld just yet so I've no idea if the disks are ok. (I threw up a wanted ad in the marketplace so might get sorted before then.)

    He had a PSP, but afaik sold it on a while back. Apparently now he's on the lookout himself for another one, which he then plans on trading on.

    No problem, I can lend it to you for a month or two if you like as well.
    I've plenty to be playing!

    Fair play to you thanks. I got sorted anyway, the impatient git in me went down to the local Gamestop and got one, happy days. Dinky little unit it is. Might actually try pick up a few cheap games for it other than the Monster Hunter ones.

    I will say this dude, the laser in the PSP is dreadful, & up there with the PS1/PS2. Installing cfw will allow you to dump your own games, & play them from the memory card. At least you'll prolong the life of the laser, & benefit from faster loading times too. It's extremely easy to do on the PSP too, just something to consider :)

    As easy as dragging and dropping some files. Be rude not to.

    Yeah, and its not like I have every European and US release PSP game dumped on an external hard drive. Which if I did, would be handy for you as I only live around the corner.

    Ok thanks for the heads up folks.

    A question about the memory card though, do you guys use a Memory Stick Pro Duo or a Micro SD with an adapter - would that work just as well? I found a Pro Duo in a drawer but it's only 64MB, no idea where it came from but it must be ancient. So looking to get something GB in size. :)

    Yeah, micro sd and adapter works a treat either.

    I need to ask a favour. I've a friend of mine that really wants to go to the Beers this weekend but he's out in Tallaght and doesn't have a lift. Can anyone do him a big favour and give him a lift? Thanks!

    I will probably be heading out for a few hours. I picked Mr Vestek and Dog the Bounty Hunter up from Northside Shopping Centre in Coolock before. It's on the 27 bus route, that comes across from Tallaght. If they can make it to the shopping centre I could pick them up from there if they needed a lift.
