  1. General Retro Discussion

    A little now but back in the day as a Doom purist I hated it because it was different to the Doom I knew on other systems.I have just started playing it again and can see that creating a new individual Doom for the N64 was the correct move as it uses new maps and new lighting effects not used in the other versions,the controls are a real pig but that is typical of the N64 terrible controller.
  2. Formula 1 2013

    I think this season started off quit slowly with the occasional bit of interest regarding the Webber / Vettel issue,China was by far the more interesting of the few races we have seen so far.
  3. Star Trek Into Darkness

    I have not seen the film yet but i have read a few reviews which seem mostly good, the only gripe being that everything moves too fast not giving you time to think about what is being said or working out what is going on.I hope to see it myself some time next week
  4. Job Hunting

    Yeah this is something i have noticed,my girlfriend has to work Part-time 16+ hours a week to be entitled to working tax credits but most PT work seems to be 2-12hrs,i have experience in a few things and so more options myself like warehouse/factory work ,outdoor conservation and electronics but i cannot get the time of day.
  5. The Resident Evil Series

    I am a big fan of Code Veronica on Dreamcast and its real cheap to pick up too 8)
  6. Game Boy Games That Pushed The Limits

    I agree with the Warioland games and i quite like Raymans graphics too.
  7. Diddy Kong Racing (GBA)

    DKR was one of the few games i liked on N64 so i always wanted to play Banjo Pilot but i never did in the end,i think something else was released that i purchased instead.
  8. My Retro Consoles Collection

    Nice set up,any thoughts on obtaining older systems such as the Atari 2600 or Coleco?
  9. Never had a problem with wasps but when i was young i remember an invasion of earwigs which even today 20 years later seems unusual,i mean you might get the odd one in a damp place like in the bathroom but they were everywhere!,they were in the house in all rooms especially in my bedroom crawling aver the carpets and even in my bed when i pulled back the sheets,i also remember one instance where i picked up a towel out of the cupboard to dry my washed hair and when i sat down i had one crawling in my hair ,it must of been brought in from outside in the towel and out in the garden we could see the odd earwig out on the washing line which confirmed this. Never seen anything like it in my life and i will never forget it lool
  10. Have i messed up my tv screen!?

    You would not expect such problems from modern tvs in this day and age would you?,i have heard of problems with plasma before but not lcd so this is a new one to me.
  11. Childhood-defining movies?

    Ghostbusters Tron Beverly Hills Cop Dune
  12. Top 10 Games of Films

    Film tie-ins are notorious for being poor but:- Tron (Arcade) AVP on the Jaguar (out way before any film too) Golden Eye (N64) Raiders Of The Lost Ark (A2600) because it has a place in my retro gaming heart more than its tech spec. The City Of The Lost Children (PS) Batman Returns (Snes) Alien 3 (Snes) Gremlins 2 (Nes) T2:The arcade Game (MD) Others if they count..Bruce Lee (Speccy),Mortal Kombat`s (MD/Snes),Tomb Raider `s(ps),Resident Evil`s,Silent Hill,Doom
  13. Formula 1 2011

    I am looking foward to it of course but i really do not know what to make of Monaco,i mean its a nice venue in an interesting location but to me unless it rains the race itself is like watching paint dry. The new tyres have been an interesting feature of some races as they seem to fall away quickly so i am hoping it will spice the race up a little bit.
  14. Injunctions - This Is Just Getting Stupid

    I was chatting the other day to someone about these injunctions and i was told if a guy has an affair it protects his family (i.e wife and kids) from the media intrusion that would be caused when the affair leaks out,well isn`t that a shame!,if the guy wasn`t such a dishonest sleeze bag then his family would not be embarrased,getting harased or anything else for that matter. Its his fault so he should see what happens to his family because of his dishonesty and he will learn his lesson.
  15. Formula 1 2011

    I have quite enjoyed the season so far although i still recon F1 is only truly exciting when it rains on raceday,I sort of want the teams at the back like Lotus,Virgin and HRT to improve and add more interest.
  16. General Movie Thread

    I like both Star Wars and Trek,to be honest most sci-fi. Regarding films i like to got to the cinema and switch my brain off,i cannot see the point of going to the cinema and becoming a film critic the moment you walk in the door.People often slag off SW episodes 1-3 and a few of the later Trek movies but there is nothing wrong with any of them in my opinion.
  17. Grand National 2011

    Unless your one of the poor horses that gets its neck broke..
  18. 5th Resident Evil Film - 14th Sept 2012

    I don`t mind providing its a new director and writer who can perhaps make it like the video games for once.
  19. Body Harvest

    It was so bad grapically for the time and for the system i had no intention finding out how it played for more than 10mins to be honest,a remake may be a good idea so that the game can be started off again from scratch.
  20. Retro Framerates

    Never had a problem with it to be honest,most frame rates were probably adequate for the time with anything upto Snes/Megadrive era,after that any problems are probably due to designers trying to be clever or shoddy programming.
  21. Wow that looks sweet,some interesting light effects through the trees.
  22. Formula 1 2011

    Nice ! Black,White & Red -still expect it to be somewhere near the back though
  23. A slice of RETRO

    This guy has too much time on his hands lol
  24. OUCH! http://kotaku.com/5735493/vintage-gaming-collection-washed-away-in-aussie-floods/gallery/
  25. Bond 23 - SkyFall

    I watched Quantum Of Solace yesterday (better late than never) and was disappointed,i reckon after Golden Eye the theme tunes have got worse,i mean the title sound track to QOS from Alicia Keys was the biggest pile of scat i have ever heard lol,i watched the film from beginning to end and still could not understand the story so for the first time ever i think i have actually lost interest :-(
