Re: Technical Q&A - all consoles

Cheers Roy, ordered one, plus a new Dreamcast controller as one of ours had died, and the connector for Samsung TVs, as I've lost the original :/

Re: Humble Indie Bundle 6

Indeed, Torchlight and Shatter dups for me too, but still so worth it :) Might even buy it twice so Linda can have them on her Steam collection too :)

Re: Technical Q&A - all computers

With the new update to Steam, you wouldn't even need to move things around with Steam; games can be installed to specific hard drives, even if it's not the location Steam's installed on. Oh, that's news to me! And most useful. I already run an SSD setup (90GB) but clearly that's pitifully small for...

Re: Technical Q&A - all consoles

Great idea, now I have the space I hope to play a bit more retro stuff without the emulation factor to contend with. Although one issue I have is our new spangly TVs don't allow for many 'old school' connections, so I may have to look into some kind of splitter box I can feed them all into and have ...

Re: The C&R football thread - armchairs & plastics welcome ;

Being born in Liverpool, growing up in Liverpool and being well educated I am of course an Everton fan ;) As is the way in Liverpool though, although my mother and father are also both blues my brother is red. And the rest of the family is pretty split too, so more red than blue I think. I'm a very ...

Re: Retro Console Help

Cheers Leon, was hoping so as finding specific power leads would be difficult and costly probably :) I'll just pick up some cables locally then and get to some older gaming :)

Technical Q&A - all consoles

Hi guys, need some info from those of you with retro consoles. I've unpacked my PS2 and Dreamcast, however neither had a power cable in the box, so the question I have is do either/both of these consoles need a power brick or are they just plug right in the wall with a figure-8 power connector? I kn...

Re: Nintendo Wii U - Thursday, 3pm GMT. Details!

Well, many of you will know I've not been the biggest fan of Nintendo of late, and when I heard about the Wii U I was less than impressed. And now the hardware specs are out... well.. I'm actually pleasantly surprised! Sounds like the whole thing has been done to give console level performance, pick...

Well, as we're all getting formal and doing some proper introductions I might as well jump in too :) I'm Steve, and I came across this gaming community back in 2008 via The Digital Cowboys, and later GamerDork. I eventually ended up helping out on the forums for the Digital Cowboys so can well appre...

Re: The "Man-Cave" / "Lady-Cave" Illustrated

Spent today doing a proof on concept on our Man/Lady Cave. Off to a good start. Sofa doesn't arrive until Friday, and the whole room needs new laminate floor and painting, but the idea is set. :) For scale, the TV on the left is 40", the one on the right 46" http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Made a start on Oddworld: Stranger Wrath the other night after finally seeing sense and getting a PSN+ account. Been interested in it since Dez' Quick Rinse on it. I'm presently dying a lot. Left it on default difficulty which is one up from easiest, still trying to work out if I'm just bad or if it...

Just coming to the end of Heroes Season 2, I seem to remember everyone hating this season, but other than being a little directionless I'm not having any issues with it. Don't watch anymore, trust me ;) Too late, we have teh BluRay box set, but then I often enjoy things others find tedious. I even ...
