They are fairly loud machines even when new , but ive noticed my new one is considerably quieter than my old one, they do get louder with age and extended use.
But then sometimes my Xbox 360 makes an absolute racket, and its the new slim one, so cant complain about the dreamcast's noise.

Ill start the topic off, i recently went for a short break on the Isle of Wight, there are a few cool game shops over there which i visited, i bought the brand new dreamcast which i posted a pic of in another thread and i also picked up 4 games for my collection, these were; Test Drive 2: The Duel, Skeleton Crew, Record of Lodoss War & Looney Toons space race. Test Drive 2: The Duel (Genesis) - I picked this up on a whim, i dident go out my way to find this game, but saw it sitting there on the shelf and it jumped out at me because i used to rent it when i was a kid so nostalgia made me buy it, was very risky at a fiver lol i was actually pleasently surprised, it was better than i remember it being! i love the fact its one of the very first "driving sims" rather than arcade racer, as you get an in car view with steering wheel and gauges, and rather than circuits its open road (like the first NFS) with a rival car, traffic, roadside cops and the need to stop for Gas! superb cheap buy. Skeleton Crew (Megadrive) - another impulse buy just out of curiosity, more risky at a tenner, but i saw the "Core" logo and knew it couldent be bad. Turns out this is an awesome game, Isometric shooter with co-op mode or single player. Pumping soundtrack and lots of action, how had i not played or heard of this before? it has made me want to go out and buy "The Chaos Engine" on Megadrive, otherwise known as "Soldiers of Fortune" to your Americans, made by Bitmap Brothers so has got to be good (and it does look and sound excellent from video's ive seen) Record of Lodoss War - This was on my "wants" , think i paid about £15 but was well worth it, was just as good as i remember it being 10 years ago, an awesome action rpg, am loving it again! Looney Toons space race - Only ever played this as a Demo back in the day of ODM & loved it, always wanted the full version. Finally picked it up for a tenner , bargain IMO ive seen it go for more on Ebay, top game aswell, not disapointed at all with this one either. Good haul this time round, very pleased. Its nice to actually go out and buy games in a shop for a change rather than ebay, and nice to buy retro games in a shop. Ashame GAME ruined GameStation by taking away their retro, i really miss browsing retro stuff. Love the Independants, but they are hard to find.

Nice try Sweaty lol congrats on getting a new DC Joe, i also purchased a new one, as my old one was fucking me about. here she is: Note the colour difference on the second controller connection, one of the controllers from my old console. The whole console was quite yellowed, im guessing because of when my friends used to smoke in my room next to it.

The bit where Wong throws the fire crackers and also where Ren punches Ryo and Ryo pins him up against the wall, they were totally omitted from the finished game. Really interesting to see

Check this very early promo vid of Shenmue shown in the UK, probably around 1999 when Shenmue was still a work in progress and S1 & 2 were most likely still joined
Complete with cool Drum n Bassy music typical of the era lol

All these seperate groups is silly, its stupid having all the supporters of the Shenmue cause spread out, they need to be joined together so we can put some weight behind the campaign and throw a hard punch at SEGA

I think you've got it right. On another note, as I mentioned at some point, I'm thinking of setting up a Team Yu website, primarily to make everything clearly accessible in one place. But I've also got a lot of other ideas for it - more than I'll ever have time to implement, if I'm honest. Right now however, I'm stuck on the most basic choice of all: the domain name. TeamYu.com is the obvious one, everyone's familiar with the ubiquitous .com extension and, chances are, if it was anything else then people would probably assume it's because .com was already taken.
But then, TeamYu.org better represents the campaign nature of the site, in the same way that charities and such use that extension. It's an unpleasant sounding abbreviation though, and in black and white it's too reminiscent of the word orgy...
Swinging in from the other side however is TeamYu.net, which I feel flows better and hints at the social networking that the campaign is built around. But again it kinda screams "second choice" as people will wonder why it isn't just .com.
Such a simple decision, the easiest part of the whole process, but an important one to get right. Any thoughts?Never mind, made a choice now. I dont know which domain name you went with but TeamYu.com would be my choice
