Man, that sucks! I remember popping in to a SFIII third strike tournament a year ago, and this one kid kept turtling (sitting in the corner, bunging out projectile attacks etc) and his opponent was easily twice his age. So it got to round 3 and the kid got pwned, as the older bloke used a little known exploit. The kid screamed shenannigans, after spending the whole 3 rounds using the cheapest "tactics" imaginable, and really got into the other guys face.


He was told to shut up, the kid stood up and kept ranting, older bloke knocked him out in one blow to the skull, it was pretty cool to see the crowd cheering "Perfect!" then one joker shouted "Finish him!", old blokes reply "I already did, innit?".


Also franken-superfami is cool http://www.akihabaranews.com/en/news-17807-Back+from+the+Dead%2C+the+Core+Duo+Vista+Powered+Super+Famicom+(SNES).html

If you want to see beautiful and strange, pop into Super Potato, or stalk a member of Clover and marvel at their god like Danmaku (lit. "Bullet Hell") skills.


EDIT: "Perfect" stems from the SF series, but to see a really impressive "Perfect" you need to be watching some skilled KOF players.

My 360 RRoD'd a couple of months back. Microsoft refused to fix it for free on account of it being second hand, which I think's BS - if the previous guy hadn't registered it I'd have been fine, and I don't understand why it being second hand makes the RRoD *more* likely! Gah!


Anyhoo, now I've either gotta pay 'em ?60 for repairs or find a new one on the cheap. I'm gagging to get my hands on RE5 too.

"I never thought I'd miss that wailing, jug-eared chimp.."


marvellous


Cooper: Sorry to hear about your RRoD - been there myself etc. I don't think many companies will touch secondhand goods tho. The newer 360s are much more reliable and my HDMI arcade model has been rock solid for nearly 2 years (touch wood etc)

Yeah, this is it. I'm going to have a crack at repairing it myself one of these days. Figure I've got nothing to lose. The annoying thing is that I love the 360, but I'm a bit chary of buying another second-hander for fear of it Red Ringing again, and I certainly can't afford a new one at the minute. Guess I really ought to have cut down on those eight hour C&C marathons. Did you send yours off to Microsoft Sean?

I RRoDed too. Microsoft were pretty good about it I must say, but I'm not surprised they won't touch second hand goods, though can see your point, if it's still under warranty then what's the problem?


Welcome to the forum btw, and more especially the geeks room, not many of us in here frankly, it's nice, quiet and friendly :)

Well, it *was* Mad Banjo Jack but I let the membership expire, so I guess I've just gone back to silver status now. Would agree with you about the 360, it's a quality system, and this is coming from a guy who never thought he'd turn his back on Nintendo.


Cheers for the welcome too, Mockney! Always good to get a bit of geeking in, that's what I say.

    • some titles are "protected" ie you have to have certain qualifications and be registered with the supervising council https://www.hcpc-uk.org/about-us/who-we-regulate/the-professions/ Dietician is registered and protected Nutricionist is neither. Anyone can claim to be a nutricionist or chiropracter etc  
    • It didn't occur to me to ask. No idea if dieticians are employed within the NHS. It is just one line of enquiry among others. The GP mentioned it, not me.
    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
