    Well, don't keep us in suspenders, what game did you get?

    Nothing worth posting :o But still, being a huge Game Chasers fan it's pretty cool to have a game sent to me by them :o

    Did you see the guy "JewMario" (Guy who wears yellow wario hat) who does be in some of the videos died via suicide i believe the other day. Judging from the tweets it looks like he suffered from depression.

    Oh really?? :( I remember hearing the username alright, can't place the chap though. Jeez that's awful, I seen boogie2988's latest video & was wondering who he was referencing in it

    yeh he was only in a couple of the GameChasers ones, usually when they are at game shows on it. He is more in retrowareTvs "The Video Game Years"

    The Game Chasers asked people to do unboxing videos to show the random game they got. When you see things like Turtles in Time being bundled in with the dvd, I guess it shows that some people got some very decent games.

    I look forward to your unboxing video ;)

    Yeah I saw some re-tweets over the weekend from the GameChasers regarding that poor guy's suicide. Some of the re-tweets referenced articles about his death but I won't repeat the stuff in case any of it isn't true.

    But yeah, I've read more about JewWario there, the posting by his wife is pretty harrowing.

    That's terrible news :(. I've watched a few of his vids over the years and he seemed like a genuinely good guy.

    It really goes to show that we don't know what's going on in people heads, even if they seem like a bag of laughs on the outside.

    Nice to see (for no use of better words) the community coming together with all their tributes to him, he really was well liked.

    Ok, I've consolidated all the episode links into the first post in this thread. They were spread out over nearly ten pages, so they're now all listed in the first post. If you haven't watched this show yet, go ahead, treat yourself...:)

    Never knew Space Megaforce was a rare game. Sold it on adverts for 5euro a couple of years back, hope it was to someone here.

    I don't think it's rare per se, maybe in the states it is? The Jap version is the one to have anyway, the PAL & US releases have cut scenes etc removed

    There's a couple of mins of additional footage in each episode, they've all been red-edited too afailk. There's also a 'lost episode', & a generous quantity of additional bonus material too. Not to mention a whole extra disc packed with new stuff (so three discs in all if you managed to pre-order during the first wave) Definitely worth it :)

    Yeah its just an option to upgrade to the special edition for those that chose the regular one, & another one just to remind folks to confirm addresses via the email address as Indiegogo screws up the address formatting etc

    I won't be getting the dvd, but I do love the show. Makes you sick to see such good finds.

    Also Myrddin I'd like to help out for the good cause but it's at €390 now, any other way to participate?

    Yeah it has risen in price pretty quickly, it's amazing to see & a testament to the fantastic folks on here. As for helping in other ways, I really can't ask any more from the community dude but thanks very much for the sentiment :cool:

    Perhaps you could ask them for their bank account details.
    Add them into the auction so that people can throw a few euro their way.

    They do, there's a donation button, it's on the scholarship page that's linked to in the auction itself. It's how I'll be passing on the proceeds from the auction, & how I'll accredit the highest bidder (ie their username or real name will be listed on the donations page, alongside boards.ie & The Game Chasers)

    Hmm the game chasers have parted ways from retro ware TV.. On good terms so they say. Because of something secret.. I smell a TV deal in the works.

    That would concern me being honest. I love the show because it's real, unlike tv shows of the same ilk many of which have been proven fake. Hopefully if it's true, the guys can retain most of the control over things.
