Don't be. The games will come. I'll agree with you on games journalists though, for the most part, they are pricks. I just ignore them anyway and play what I want to play.

As with any other Shenmue fan I hope that one day a sequel is made, I think there is a chance but Sega work in ridiculous ways lately so only time will tell.

Would like to know what these pictures mean though.......

Congratulations to everyone who got their entries in and took part! Im sure the winner will be well deserved of the prize!

TEEPO and his sister.

Didn't get as much time as I was hoping for, but managed to build some more on the dojo, added some beams and roof modules, still very WIP, but anyways : D Tweaked the stone a bit too. Gonna add some grass and the stone paved road and the mud texture on the ground and stuff soon I think.

QWERTY has officially run out of ideas. Atleast they are worth a good laugh.

Thanks Alex! Hopefully this second year visa means I can get up to see you guys in Japan next year.

Sorry guys that video should be working now.

Yeah, I had the flu pretty fuckin bad the Christmas Shenmue II was released, so I spent the whole of Disc 4 eating strawberry ice cream. Coughs, sneezes n fatigue meant that I missed a fuckin huge chunk of what was going on. Thankfully that just equated to small talk and "ooh, look at these hills, mountains n flowers!"

To witness first-hand the intense propaganda / brainwashed citizens.

You need not go that far for that.

Hi i`m new here. I want to share this map I made.

Is that a Zenith stereo receiver to the left of your super computer?
Nope Ones a Sony TC-366 and the other's a sony TC-186SD

Both broken and both cost a grand total of £1.50
Learn to fix stuff if you dont know yet because its very useful!
That's a very hands-on attitude. I like it.

I also appreciate they're both Sony products..

But they have mainly been known for making high quality and long lasting products
I never bothered much with their computer line because it's too restrictive for my taste but this certainly isn't true for their phones. The iphone is the most fragile overpriced phone on the market which only redeeming factor I can think of is that it creates good business for phone repair shops because it will break so easily and apple will charge you a shit ton of money to do basic repairs on it. As for their computers the insides use the same products as windows PCs from the same Chinese factories so I don't think they're any more break proof than a PC built with quality parts for half the price.

When it comes to macs the only advantage I see is OSX and the advantages it brings to have a propriety OS built specifically for the system they're selling you. Though personally I don't think the OS is worth such a huge price hike, sure it can get more out of the same specs a pc could but then for the same price you could buy a pc that completely blows the mac out of the water. In the end it all comes down to how much you're paying for those few advantages which apple really is overpricing.

So there's this woman at work, she's nothing special a 6/10 maybe a 7 on a good day. Whenever we've talked it's been super friendly and a little flirty. Well last Friday she was in the pub next to our office and we got chatting. Things got super flirty and I ended up walking home with her since it was not far out of my way. So I think fuck it things seem to be going well and go in for the kill and she rejects me, no biggie life goes on.

I don't think much of it but next Monday all her friends are asking why I tried to make a move. It was like I was being questioned by a bunch of schoolgirls when we're all adults. She started acting like she was far too good for me to even think about getting with her. I couldn't care less what she thinks but by the end of Monday she hadn't shut up about it.

So Monday night I went on her Facebook and found some photos she had done professionally, she still only looked about a 7/10 even with proffesional makeup and lighting. I sent them off to any modelling agency email address I could find.

By Thursday (today) I had quite a few rejection letters. I set up a fake email address and forwarded her about 7 rejection letters which pointed out her faults. Doesn't take her about 20 minutes to start crying, everyone in the office stops what they're doing and the whole day is about this. Everyone is getting called into all different rooms and asked questions. They started asking me if I did it because she shot me down and I just said if I did that to every woman who shot me down I'd have no free time, plus they think I'm laid back as hell and couldn't care less. She's pissed off so many people that they have no idea it was me but apparently they're going to access our computers history's to see who sent it from a Yahoo email as every website we visit is saved in our history log that the IT guys have. I don't know if they're bluffing to make me come forward but they have said they would know who did it by tomorrow. Thinking I go in an hour early and give the IT guys a £100 to keep quiet.

:?: ^do you do this sort of thing for a living? It sounds like you should, you seem to have an amazing knowledge and genuine practical skills of electronics and computers... (quoted, in silicon)
as much as i would love that, creating expansion boards from scratch, using copyrighted diagrams, or to be accurate, source chips that aren't generic:
1, serious industrial equipment for pcb's on that detail and scale. (cad and robotics knowledge are highly recommended, i'm in baby steps...no i'm not, i'm an egg.)
2, accurate 1/1 parts.
mirror chip clones would work if the layouts were identical.
...
to build amiga expansion card, FROM SCRATCH is nothing short of matrix like skills, and resources.
...
yeah!
of course, i's LOVE to see what the next post on this specific subject will be... :mrgreen: :king:
[edit]
a chance with a500 perhaps, and that's really stretching it.
anything higher is from factory grade equipment. (not like the a500 card wasn't anyway.)

^^ WILL keep the repairs part in mind, i have a fucked mcu680040 with 32m dimm that could do with fixing.
HOLD THAT THOUGHT, I NEED TO GET SHIT TOGETHER (PENDING ???) AND HIT YOU IN PM's!
(i'm in nw england, about an hour from manchester heading toward cloudy area...to not give away too much)
if you're cool with that?
the card just stopped working, i've identified the problem, a cpu chip relief is fractured at the corner a tool is used to lift chip out, the chip socket.
tried a repair, but no nearer.
anyway, good you put out that dreamcast shit too, holding that in brains. :mrgreen:
i'll be in-touch! :P

Its not a series, but Nintendo Exclusive stuff. past few gens I have bought Nintendos console for less than 10 games on each, Cube Wii and Wii U. Im a whore for Zelda, no doubt, thats usually reason enough to buy a console. Or even when I bought the black Wii, I have like 3 games for it.

Fuck it, im really just a whore for JRPGs, I admit it OL. I spend alot in order to enjoy them. *goes back to the corner to which I earn my funds for gaming*

Theres this one series that no ones really heard of called shenmue that im a slut for. I mean panties off at hello kind of slut. i once imported the second installment just to later buy the second one again on Xbox. i even paid to help with development for the third one twice...FUCKIN TWICE!!! but i highly doubt it would be any of yalls things. most never heard of it
