They always have a really good selection of retro stuff, and seem to change it up a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted Thursday at 10:23 AM Paid Members Share Posted Thursday at 10:23 AM The "main" CEX just off Oxford Street used to have a really good retro cabinet - haven't been in a while, so don't know if it still does.

I work close by and it's seen better days Yeh, used to spend a lot of time there (uni was in Russell Square, and this would've been around 2000, 2001, when Charing Cross Road/Tottenham Court Road still had all the computer shops and that big monthly computer fair that felt like an underground tech bazaar in some dystopian sci-fi). Looking back, it wowed a 20 year-old like me, but it may not have been quite so impressive to a hardcore gamer or tech-head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted Friday at 01:19 PM Paid Members Share Posted Friday at 01:19 PM (edited) My copy of The Sopranos on PS2 came and I’ve done the first stage to make sure it works. You play as some made up guy called Joey who is apparently Big Pussy’s Son? The first stage takes place in the Bada Bing. There are bare tits everywhere, you get a lapdance, everyone gives you a sandwich order (Vito’s is low fat turkey and lots of pickles but no bread or anything else that would make it a sandwich) and then you accidentally kill a man in the toilets when Paulie orders you to bash his head off a urinal. Think I’ll enjoy this. Edited Friday at 01:19 PM by FLips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy Paulie has you bray in the toilets gave him lip earlier when he told Paulie he knew Tony was in the Bada Bing cos he heard him. Paulie tells him he’s hearing things and it’s a mirage. Guy gets lippy saying you see mirages and don’t hear them. Paulie says “throw him at that wall, see if it’s a mirage”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members FLips Posted Saturday at 08:37 PM Paid Members Share Posted Saturday at 08:37 PM (edited) I'm not going to do updates on every level I do on The Sopranos, but it is worth mentioning that Big Pussy has started appearing as a vision like Mufasa. I dumped a body in the sea and there he was in the water talking to me. I turned it off before I saw, but I'm sure he was about to appear in a mirror like Ultimate Warrior during the cutscene for the next level too. For reference the game takes place between season 5 and 6 and they got the bloke who played Brendan back to voice your gobshite mate Reggie. So far the voice acting is the only good thing about it.

Why don't you pop the updates in your Sopranos watchalong thread? People enjoy reading your writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BigJag Posted Sunday at 07:27 AM Paid Members Share Posted Sunday at 07:27 AM @DavidB6937 pimped this earlier in the thread. It was premiered at 1900 last night. I had no idea it was 4hrs long! Pandamonium have gone into a lot of detail, yet still kept it fun and interesting. The makers of the documentar, seem to be a bit confused about how invested the Japanese were into rallying, and their general passion for motorsports. Really enjoying it so far. Still have a couple of hours to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
