I propose the government bring in new measures that include:
...
3. Public castration and/or genital mutilation whenever the word 'rare' is used out of context/inappropriately.
I think there should just be a blanket ban on claiming anything as rare. Even if the item for sale is rare it is then it just turns up in a search with 99 other thinks that are as common as muck and overpriced. So what's the advantage of ever calling anything as rare?
Hell, let adverts.ie take advantage of it maybe. Want to sell something with the word "rare" in the description? Sure! But it'll cost you €10 and the listing ends in 7 days time. But don't worry, since its so valuable that's a steal, right?

The worst thing is that people are going to see these ridiculous prices and think it's the norm even if they haven't shifted in months. I doubt I'll be getting bargains on adverts anymore like a Dreamcast and loads of games for 50. It's a joke now.

Was in Rage today and over heard some random girl talking about how Super Mario World was going for 200 euros on ebay. Same girl had to ask if Super NES games would fit into an N64 and had to ask the guy she was with what the NES cartridges were (which he replied Super Nintendo). I think the tales of super rare games like stadium sports selling for a couple of grand on ebay are filtering down to the ignorant masses who think that the common games they are sitting on are worth a fortune.

PlayStation Generation:
They haven't a fukken clue.
Era leave them off!
If we keep hatin' on them the poor critters will get pushed back to modern games and will never experience the love of retro!
I wouldn't see people like that as "inferior" just because they're not as knowledgeable as I am on retro games,
I'd have a much more welcoming attitude for newbies and I'd like to share what I know with them.
You know I'd really love to get involved in that exposition thingy in October.
TLDR...........SRS POST IS SRS...........etc... whatever! 0 -

The problem is, most 'modern gamers' would be the ones doing the hating 0 -

I just kicked over the hornets nest in the JRPG forum for posting an article about FFVII which was one of the best retrospectives I've read on the game. Apparently FFVII is a 10/10 game with such huge cultural significance that it's beyond criticism. Like Bladerunner apparently. Ah, kids.

You, my friend, like most here, are a fan of games...be they old, new or indifferent. Whether they were released in the 80's, or announced at this years E3, you will still guage & play them by the same standards.
I find 'modern gamers' look upon retro gaming as quaint & cute. Little do they know, that almost all modern games are just poorly done rehashes of established classic formulas & tried and tested methods. Also, most modern 'hardcore' games, would have a poo attack at the difficulty and commitment required for some retro games.
I cleared Blops 2 - I iz hardcore
...
Ah fugg off, have a bash at Majoras Mask & lets see how hardcore you are
What exactly happened to machismo?
I mean its never been an entirely good thing and was always a bit achingly embarrassing to watch if you've even a slight streak of introvert, but when has being able to use a joypad, listen to and scream abuse down a phone line at the same time sign of manliness. And don't forget the post game hazing either.
I think back when idiots had the good manners to murder and poison each other to the death to thin their own numbers it was a kind of progress. Now the EULAs and safety labels have let stuff spiral out of control.
I now hope the next gen have Star Trek tech built in. You know, the kind of kit that has sparks jump out of and kill whoever was near it at the time so you realise shiz is getting real yo, and its totally hardcore.
Please, please make it so. 0 -

The reason I don't play online multiplayer, aside from having no friends, is the first time I played PGR4 online I had a load of crap spouted by some muppet and his mate spoiling the race by tearing around the track the wrong way.... bye bye online multiplayer....
Is it so hard for racing game programmers to have the foresight to disable collision detection on cars driving the wrong direction around a track for more than a few seconds? That and chat privileges.
Hell, after 60 seconds make their cars invisible, no collision detection and incapable of reactivating collision detection and placed joint last. Trolling exterminated on online racing. The End.
This should not be an issue.

After 60 seconds may the AV cables reach out and throttle the tossers.
Actually, there is a setting on your profile, you can preclude events with rule breakers from appearing on your game list in the lobby. My bad.
That's just another part of the problem.
There shouldn't be a setting, it should simply be a disappointment and frustration for anyone attempting to troll, and it should require absolutely no consideration on the part of anyone else who's there to participate. A sort of "it just works out of the box" thing.
Similarly, there should be a filter that automutes anyone praising the CDi, (or at least increased the price they have to pay next time they want to buy a Live Subscription. Can't get rid of trolls? May as well tax them!
