Holy shit on a stick! They've finally released it. Thanks for the heads-up.

It's as good as ever :D

The review of Illbleed is a highlight, as are the bits playing Uno.

Someone care to briefly outline this for those of us who have no idea what it is?

Sweary Glaswegians doing very funny reviews of games.

For anyone who's never seen CV before, the quality increases dramatically as the series progress. CV1.1 is pure homebrew whereas CV2.7/2.8 are pretty much professional productions by comparision...

This, although season 1 still has its merits and is well worth a watch. Longer episodes too from 45mins - 1 hour in some cases.

I made a thread a while ago regarding CV here http://www.5punk.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic. ... ht=gubbins

Have a look-see if you're still unsure of what it is.

anyone else think that Lack of Love game looks like an early version of Spore or at least one of its influences?

That, HARD.

I had a quick look for dreamcast emulators and roms after that.

Yeah definately, first thing I thought of actually. Everything from look to the music reminds me of the stuff I've seen in Spore's tide pool phase. Berk, if you find anything Rom Hull and Emu(lator), could you pm me with details?

I'm in work you see, else I'd look myself.

I couldn't see much of anything at all.

I'll have another poke about after sleep, but I'm not hopeful

No worries mate, Ill start hitting my emu bookmarks when I get in tonight too. Alternatively, I could probably buy a DC for about 20 squid...

It's fairly easy to get backup discs running on a DC, probably easier than getting a decent emulator working on a PC. I can only find a copy of m1n1n0va though and that has zero seeders. Not going to give up that easily though.

Also that was an excellent show, gets more professional every episode.

Best console EvAR!

It was also about the easist console to crack ever, you could burn a CDR with boot loader and you could then swap disc with any downloaded CD. I miss my little collection.

So, apart from potentially a fortune in VMU batteries, £20 is a good bargain for one, as there are still quite a few games that stand up today. Even with an emulator you'd still need ISOs of CDs, I don't know how available they are these days - got most of mine from when P2P filesharing was quite new, and they were hard to find then.

Edit: had a look on a demon-like place and they're all still there, most with seeders. [one of whom will probably soon be me]

Not to mention the vast amount of Emulator discs available for the Dreamcast, where you just downloaded the ISO, burned to CD, swapped the disc in the Dreamcast, and hey presto, tonnes of emulators and games.

Think I have a Nes, Mega Drive & Nintendo 64 one somewhere
