Skills closed the thread because he's gay for the 3DO.



This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

You know my most secret of secrets. WHO TOLD YOU

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

IT WAS A TROUPE OF GAY NINJA 3DO FANS. THE LAST ONE I LEFT ALIVE TOLD ME WHO SENT THEM AS I CRUSHED HIS LAST, DYING BREATH FROM HIS THROAT.






And the activity log on the edit thread screen, as regards who closed it.

The ninjas were just a diversion I had set up to fool you. You don't know my true loyalties. NO ONE DOES.

There might be some humour left in this, let's find out. Reopened.

How ya doing, buddy?

Kittens probably blew all that money on Dreamcast consoles. Which is the only proper excuse you have for not owning one. Because kittens bought them all. Any other reason merely makes you a backwards cunt.

No wonder you don't like classic gaming, you've never actually played on a decent console. That and since you're in the UK, gaming unilaterally decided to give you no games ever.

Of course if you had a Dreamcast you could have just emulated all those awesome, nigh unattainable games right out of the box.

Because it's awesome like that.



But how do you wrap your brain around a concept as awesome as the Dreamcast? How do you define the awesomeness of the Dreamcast?

O Yeah.



Dreamcast. Yeah, it's kind of like that.

FELIPE NO

Hey, we got plenty of gaming awesome on the Dreamcast over here in the UK. I personally got quite a lot of Dreamcast gaming awesome for free, and ahead of release, which was even more awesome. Sort of like a T-Rex piloting a fighter plane, only more awesome. And free.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Dreamcast was awesome. Unfortunately, I lent over half my games to a friend while I was gone for the past few years and haven't been able to get them back. I have seen him and he said something like when playing Virtura Tennis, the game takes a long time to load.

I had some unexpected fun games for the dreamcast and it turned out to be the party system when my friends came over.
My Dreamcast Finally felt it's end when a spoiled kid came over and wanted one. When he couldn't have mine's, he threw a shit load of orange soda directly on it and killed it.
Dreamcast, the stuff jealousy is made of ;_;

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Dreamcast was a great system. You didn't even have to buy games for it.

"Dreamcast: How many times can you say 'awesome' in a single post"

Motherfucking Armada was where it was at. Shmup/RPG-hybrids should be done way more often.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I might as well throw my hat into the "I have had a Dreamcast since 9/9/99" ring.

That said, would anyone like a Dreamcast?

Seriously?

I was speaking idiomatically.

And you wonder why we all think you have the brain functions of a gnat.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

No, he's speaking sense there for once, Deni. He'd be doing that Dreamcast a great favor.

How ya doing, buddy?

Dammit, didn't notice Empty Cardboard Box (Big gay in a box) >.<

Snake? SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Has anyone ever played a Sega Pico? I feel it could build up my vocabulary

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You social outcasts might need to own a console to have played on it but some people in the world use the word "Friend" to describe someone who they've actually met. Sometimes these friends live near you and sometimes they buy an unpopular games console which means you get to play on it.

Chu Chu Rocket was kinda fun for an afternoon, the Powerstone games were great and the Bass Fishing thing with the silly rod attachment was mildly amusing I guess but that's about it as far as Dreamcast games being anything special goes and that's certainly not enough to warrant buying one, especially given the continued output of great games for the Playstation at the time with the added bonus that the PS controller wasn't so big it had it's own gravity field. I also suspect that the ability to pirate games right out of the box went a long way to the death of the format and it seems a little backwards to champion a console that you personally contributed to the death of by never paying for any software.

And what the fuck Dreamcast is classic gaming? What are you, twelve years old? Classic gaming is Spectrums and BBCs and Amstrads, possibly Amigas if you're talking noob classic. Just because you discovered computer games fifteen years later than the rest of the world doesn't make the games you discovered classic, Johnny-come-lately.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I voted PS3. But in all fairness, had I read the whole list, I'd have voted for the Dreamcast.

Nothing beats Space Channel 5, Chu Chu Rocket, and Marvel vs Capcom 2... oh, and Rival Schools, Dead or Alive 2, Ikaruga, etc etc.

Granted, a lot of these games were ported later, but I still have such great memories of this system.

So you got to option 2 before you got bored, gave up and voted anyway. Good work.

Also Shin, whilst I agree with you on what constitutes classic gaming, you need to admit the Dreamcast was awesome already. We know it, you know it, and we know you know it, so just admit it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm not going to admit that a console that was chiefly responsible for the dramatic collapse of one of gaming's most succesful companies was either awesome or popular.

Like I said, it was ok and there were a couple of good games but there weren't enough that weren't later released on a different platform, the controllers were horrific and nobody ever paid for any software anyway, despite proclaiming it the greatest piece of gaming hardware mankind has ever produced, thereby dooming their own champion and proving that Dreamcast owners were all basically retarded.

I mean, what kind of a sports team fan would you be if you shoplifted this year's shirt rather than bought one? The shitty kind that doesn't get invited to parties, that's what.

How ya doing, buddy?

This thread needs less serious and more people taking silly pictures of their Dreamcasts.

Really, Shin. Step back a second and look at the topic you are debating. This is pathetic.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

This makes me want to track down some cords and controllers for the Dreamcast that's just sitting my the drawer (I took mine out to lunch on it's 10th birthday a few months back). I so wanted to mod the lights/casing a bit but I think I'll leave it the way it is.

Technically anything that came out at least a decade ago, give or take two generations back is considered "classic",why just look at any official emulators (given the virtual console/XBLA, ect).

FELIPE NO

The controller was still awful and I'm glad gamers succesfully killed the console and Sega with it. Now they can fully focus on Sonic ga.. ys.


I own two.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Pics or your ownership didn't happen.

It started pathetic and now has evolved into me not understanding how the system failed so hard given that apparently everyone loved it more than christmas and owned multiple consoles each.

Really, I have nothing against the Dreamcast and did enjoy playing on my mate's from time to time but the fact is, the format was a failure to such an extent it made Sega give up on hardware altogether.

I assumed all this time it was because nobody ever bought one but GFF has proved me wrong and actually, it looks like I genuinely am in the minority for not owning one which in turn has left me confused as to why it was such a collosal failure and I am now merely seeking enlightenment.

And just because some emulator people call games classic, does not mean that's some legal definition or anything. Classic gaming, for those of us who are old enough to remember when you had to type in twentyfive pages of BASIC to play a crappy maze game or load things in on a tape that often didn't work properly onto a computer with less processing power than your average modern microwave is not the Dreamcast, it's the Spectrum, or the BBC or the Amiga and no amount of emulator sites proclaiming Tomb Raider 2 as "Classic" gaming will persuade me otherwise. It's a subjective term and like all subjective terms, it is open to misuse by noobs it seems.


I'm not trying to be too serious Tails, I was enjoying the pictures of Dreamcasts that hate me. =(

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Only have an old pic of one of them, they are both gathering dust in a box kept in a storage room cause I couldn't bring them with me to where I live


Obviously european blue swirl is much cooler than dodgy orange naruto......
