You not know how to play it or do you just hate it? Who have you recruited?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Finally got round to painting my NES
Luckily I'm just kidding and it's not actually mine
feck of yoshi and luigiI only played the game they make you play, is it even possible to win it? I'm done with it, haven't found anyone else to recruit yet either and I'm pretty far on now, like past the mushroom plains or whatever they're called I think.
If you learned the Jecht shot then it's possible to win as it knocks two defenders out of the way. You might as well wait until later on in the game when it's easier the get players. Once you recruit a couple of decent players it gets easier and before long you'll start dicking on every team, especially if you poach their best players.
They scored without anyone challenging them from the HT kick off, I scored with the Jecht shot, then after using Wakkas special shot, the keeper saved it even though he shouldnt have according the stats. They then strolled past me again and scored past me, again, forgetting the stats and how it explained it.
Are you sure you were looking at the right stat? It's the catching stat or CAT, if I remember correctly, for keepers. If that number is higher than a shot when it arrives on goal it should be saved.
Well yeah, because as my shot goes in my number depletes and their stat to affect te save is directly below mine which I decreasing.
So, Star Wars on the NES is pretty tough. Exactly the kind of game I like though 
Got Boulder Dash today. Only played the first few levels but it seems like it'll be a fun game.
I just found out the version of Super Metroid I have is quite rare -

It's quite exciting.
Yep. You aren't going to sell it though are you?
Nah, finding out I've got something at least slightly uncommon is better than the money it'd get. If it was one of those insane NES situations (Stadium Events etc), I'm not sure I'd still have the same opinion though
Have you already looked up how much you might be able to get for it? I bet you have.Nah, finding out I've got something at least slightly uncommon is better than the money it'd get.

Soon as that thing hits a lot of money, like, £34.47+ it'll be straight on your ebay account.
Did a playthrough of the first three monkey island games a few months back. Good times well spent.
The second one is my favourite, in my opinion one of the best games ever made.
The only one I've ever seen in that exact box (that's not mine), is that one in the eBay auction above which sold for £155. I could sell it and buy Demon's Crest which is the one game I want above any other, but then I'd be without Super Metroid which would be a crime
I got a copy of Mickey no Tokyo Disneyland Daibouken for the Super Famicom the other day from eBay which arrived today. Really good fun so far, definitely recommended to platformer fans.
Anyone played Mole Mania? Got it today and have enjoyed what I've played so far. Seems like it'll get quite challenging but that's all part of the fun
Good quiz/test thing here - http://www.playbuzz.com/jeremiek/the-ultimate-vintage-video-games-culture-test
Got 59

I only got 41, but I didn't start gaming seriously until the tail end of the Megadrive era.
56, quite happy with that.
Got 49, not great
Good Quiz though

59.
37, not a clue what half of those games were and every time I guessed it was a big fat fail.
48, screwed up a hat full of obvious ones, scored with many lucky punts.
I am only 35 years young. That's no age. I should have scored higher than 59, I ballsed up a few obvious ones.
Also.
Viewpoint!
Viewpoint!
49, although I made a few silly errors!
I only got 38, but there were too few PC/Amiga games. The first proper console we got was a Playstation, and that was around 2000.
Also some were legitimately before my time.

48/86.
Lots of nice shouts, but also lots of complete unknowns.

How rude
46. I was guessing a lot.
65 (old bastard).
59. Got caught out on a few where I recognised the game, but picked a similar title. Virtua Cop/Time Crisis, and whatnot.
This thread prompt me to find some emulators for some gaming rigs of my past.
Maybe I'll finish this one finally.

Damn right.
Next stop, Detroit.
