    Oh and I know we were hoping to do some Gamecubing this evening, but the bulk of my collection is at my parents house... I was hoping to get over there at some point over the xmas but family problems have prevented that.

    Does anyone have Phantasy Star Online Ep.2 in particular?

    I'll bring some cube controllers, others bring some because I'm not going up to the attic to get the rest :P

    Think I'll bring the chipped PS1 as well and some weird games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,695 ✭✭✭DinoRex


    Managed to grab some of my GC stuff... and also my Saturn...

    Great night peoples. Had lots of fun even if I sucked at MKDD.

    Everyone must get Overblood as it's a contender for shíttest game ever


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 51,854 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Hi I'm Daisy!

    Great night again Dinorex. I'll have to look into getting the two Obscure games, Sera is dying to play them.

    Was also very impressed with Pack Rat, great game that I'd never heard of before.

    Thanks for bringing your wonderswan games pdbhp, think I'll have to pick up klonoa and that frog game while I hope that the Gn'G game appears at a decent price.

    Sorry for inflicting Legend of Dragoon and Overblood on people.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,019 ✭✭✭Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy


    Thanks so much for having us over, Obscure was so much fun in co-op, can't believe how long we played it for, DAT ELEVATOR!. Overblood should be game of the year, did you see him going up and down stairs it was amazing.
    Where's my Mc Donalds btw?

    I think I may have made a Wonderswan faux pax last night by saying the 'Wondercoin' comes with Digimon tamers when I'm now led to believe it comes with Guilty Gear Petit, I've looked about and cannot see any word of it on ebay so for now it's unsubstantiated

    Damn, damn, I'm sorry I missed it, on a brighter note I would have been coughing all the way through it...
    Went to see Puss In Boots with the better half and sick son, a lot of fun if not for the nearly 40 year old moron coughing at semi regular intervals (that was me by the way)


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Right, I'm turning 40 next week, so if anyone is interested in coming along to a party I'm having in mine, please PM me!
    There will be games served in the Gamesroom, although you may circulate with the regular folk as well if you like!
    It'll be the evening of the 14th of Jan, that's a Saturday folks!

    Atavan rang me NYE when he was in the pub and said he's hosting the next beers with Obscure/Obscure 2 and he also said Overblood is the best game he's played this year. :P

    Ok, so my 40th is changed to the 13th, at least I won't have to get up the morning after for work!
    So, if anyone wants to come along, more the merrier, plus there will be arcade and retro in the gamesroom!

    Ok so, thanks to Kerbdog, my Taito G-Net is a go, and I'll have a couple of CF Cards to flash as well.
    Got another Supergun and this time it has a S-Video and Composite out so as to be nice and compatible with as much as possible, including the projector.
    It also has sockets for Neo Geo sticks, and I have an AES one and about to pick up another, thanks Pyongyang!
    So, if you are free on Friday please come along.
    I promise not to ban any non-attendees...
    Although, I might, I'm pretty petty at heart. :)

    If Atavan goes, don't forget to wake him up before you go go

    Tbh I don't know if anyone is going, aside from Retr0 and Sera... :(
    I posted up here about it but it's been quite quiet about it...

    Cidey No Mates, that's me...
    Too much time spent here and not enough meeting real people (although personally I reckon it's all over-rated)

    atavan-halen, if you're coming across the city will you be passing near Sunnyside?

    I'll swap you all my best Pokemon cards for a lift:

    If atavan-halen can't I can give you a lift.

    Has mister Ciderdude got a chipped PS1 in case there's disappointment at the lack of Overblood? I put my copy in the attic last night but have my 'backup' on hand.
