  1. Muse

    One of the best bands of this generation, easily.
  2. Rare collectables thread.

    You got me.
  3. Retro consoles worth checking out?

    Got to mention the SNES if your talking retro, so many good games! And as mentioned the NES and the Megadrive are also great systems with great games. But if you want to look more recently, why not try a Sega Dreamcast? I recently got one and there's some really good games on it, plus it's stupidly cheap to collect for, (there's several copies of Jet Set Radio on ebay, sealed, for a fiver).
  4. Rare collectables thread.

    ^ There was one of those limited edition Majora's Mask sets on ebay a week or so ago. The seller had a 'buy it now' for the small fee of £1,800. I doubt he sold it.
  5. Do you collect anything?

    At the moment i'm collecting NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Game Boy, PS1 and PS2 games. When i get far enough into these collections i also plan to get into Sega a bit too. Why? Something to keep me amused since i broke up with the ex, and it's something i've always been interested in i guess. I suppose Super Smash Bros Melee really was the game that made me want to find all of these old games after looking at all of the trophies on there. Also it's a blast from the past, my dear mother had a bad habit of 'you've got a new console let's sell the old one,' and i had no choice in the matter It also looks damn nice having a bookcase full of gaming history and a tv stand with more than just a Wii and a PS3/Xbox360 standing on it. Besides, SNES games are awsome, best console ever hands down.
  6. Excellent films, especially when they are watching snow white! I too prefer the second one, the talking gremlin and the female gremlin are hilarious
  7. Delicious Food You've Dropped?

    A Scoop of ice cream. It's a tad hard to apply the 5 second rule to ice cream.
  8. How Tall Are You?

    About 6ft 4"
  9. A new slate?

    Although i've been registered for 5 years i've never really posted much but I have been lurking the forums for some time, so time to introduce myself i guess :x - My name is Dan - I'm 20 years old - I live in Chatteris a little town in Cambridgeshire - My interests/hobbies are games and music mainly - My favourite type of music is rock, mainly Classic and Prog rock (or bald, old mans music apparently :P) - My favourite games are probably the first 2 Donkey Kong Country games and Super Smash Bros Melee - I originally joined the forums 5 years ago to post in a poll about video games, apparently i had to add my favourites - I work as a scientific assistant in a lab, which sounds fancy but it really isn't - I'm really quite a shy person, half the reason i haven't posted much on the N-E forums - Yes i do like Garfield, the avatar i have was actually made by someone i met on another forum So hello everyone
  10. N-Europe London Meet Sat July 24th 2010

    I do apologise, i do tend to lurk a lot without posting much. Long time member - long time lurker, i just never know what to say half the time...many a time have i written out a post only to delete it as it doesn't seem to fit in with the epic conversations had at N-E, oh well i've been caught red handed Sound like a really good time from what I am reading This is going to sound really boring but i take it the grass has recovered from when we had that massive heatwave? I saw a birdseye photo of Hyde Park completely brown! *Dashes back into the shadows*
  11. Final Fantasy XIII

    Haven't posted in a while but i'll give my views on FF13 as i'm currently at chapter 12, about 33 hours in. Pros: - Loving the characters, especially Szach he's awesome, (Vanille not so much...) - Graphics and cutscenes are amazing obviously, loving the story in this one. - New battle system is exciting, though one bad factor which i will mention - It's nice knowing clearly where to go all the time - All characters get crystal points after a battle, even those your not using - Auto-healed after every battle, if you die you restart in front of the monster you died at and there's plenty of save points, (might seem too easy but it's defnately fair in this installment) Cons: - I don't have a problem with linear corridors, but some are just too long and too samey, only some though - Controlling only one member, the downfall being if you die you all die...what? The biggest flaw with the system in my opinion - The Doom spell, simply put when you encounter it there's no way to dodge it and if the enemy isn't dead your screwed - Bosses Hit Points are stupidly high and they can hit stupidly hard But yeah it's good, definately worth a play, just be prepared to die a LOT.
  12. Galaxy-OR-Cadbury

    Got to pick Cadbury, in my opinion it tastes much better. Plus if galaxy heats up in anyway afterwards it tastes like plastic. And besides they also have better adverts, that gorilla playing to Phil Collins on the drums ;D
  13. The Budget 2008

    Delay in 2p rise in fuel til autumn...how about the lot they just added recently. It's more like, 'we've delayed the 2p we were going to add on top of the 2p rise we already just put on.' Not sure about everywhere else but where i live the stations sell petrol at 108.9...ridiculous.
  14. Rate the Above Poster's Avatar and Signature

    Nice pic of lucario, could be a bit bigger though. 8.5/10
  15. A lovely price cut just before i get a 360 next month, perfect.
  16. earthquake

    I slept through it =P
  17. Do you know me?

    Signed up 2 and a half years ago, about 14 posts in total..that's me. *disappears*
  18. Covers Vs Originals

    As a massive Queen fan who hates McFly, i think that cover is a massive insult >_> But saying that i don't like any cover of Queen, you just can't match Freddie for vocals so leave Queen's songs alone. Especially Bohemian Rhapsody *shoots G4*
  19. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Spoilers Topic)

    Wish they would announce the release date already. At the moment i'm resorting to playing melee, but i've played it so much and after watching so many brawl vids on youtube i know which i'd rather be playing. Oh well i'll be getting an xbox360 in a month or so, that should tide me over.
  20. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Spoilers Topic)

    I never did see the fun in smash without items. I mean it's good once in a while for a change and i know it's supposed to be the 'pro' way of doing things but it takes half the fun out of it. Besides surely part of the skill is the use of items as well?
  21. Multiplayer Wii

    I was personally disappointed with the Warioware multiplayer as you have to pass the controller around for the most part, which if you think about it you have to undo the wii strap then hand it to the person so they can put it on. Why they didn't make it like warioware on the gamecube where everyone can use their own controller i don't know |: Although saying that the one player is bloody excellent and you could easily take it in turns, but if you're looking for multiple controller use probably not the best game for it, (just my opinion though).
  22. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Spoilers Topic)

    It's only a matter of time before an AR for the Wii is made though surely
  23. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Spoilers Topic)

    That's probably because they announced most of the good newcomers first and left the not so good newcomers and veterans til last. And if you think about it, a week ago the roster could have been anything, characters people wanted still had a chance to get in...now they're obviously not. It's just because most of the hype has died down, this will still be one kick-arse game.
  24. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Spoilers Topic)

    What the hell was that and what did it do o.o
  25. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Spoilers Topic)

    That's just what i was thinking. Saying that they probably just changed it.
