In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
A talking banana?
ffs if you could simmer down for just a second you'd appreciate how glorious that golden flick of hair I have is.
A wild Bananamon appears.
ffs i knew those would come out soon
It's ok. It's only one of them.
WE WANT MORE

sure
1900 of them were Earthquake.
seriously though @Olly how do i know if they're fakes or not?
Shame it's not a Swagmon
Let myself down there, should have been active in this thread.
There's a few different ways. The main one will probably be if it says that it doesn't work on 3DS systems. All DS games play on 3DS, fakes ones don't, so that'll be the biggest giveaway.
Another good way is the box. This picture shows a US DS game on a right and a European one on the left;
Sometimes there'll be a DS game for sale that's in a European case, but has the ESRB rating symbol which is what's used in the US. European games have a PEGI rating. THIS is the US rating (also in my pic), and THIS one is the European one (also in Snowjoe's pic). So if there's a mix and match of types of cases/ratings then that's another indicator.
ah nice one olly, that makes sense.
managed to find one on amazon that looked decent and since i had a £25 gift voucher on there it's only costing me like £12. Still fecking expensive if i didn't have that voucher though!
Another giveaway is usually the manual. Unfortunately you wont know this way unless you actually buy a fake version though. Here's part of the manual I got with a fake copy of Professor Layton and the Curious Village;
Yes, they actually just copy and pasted a Gamespot review, including watermarked screenshots... and negative points on the game.

that is amazing
Seems like a lot of effort for an obvious fake. I'd have used toilet paper.
I wonder why they decide to go to the trouble of manufacturing fake cartridges, print the covers etc, and yet they can't be bothered to use scans of a proper manual and actually go to the extra effort of constructing their own shittier version. Bloody idiots.
Is that what you wear when chilling at home? Did you go commando as well?Snowjoe is always commando.
Least in my dreams.
Standard home cotching attire. Earthquake is right too, I'm permanently commando.
Snowjoe the Banana man
my HeartGold came today. i'm just gonna finish listening to Led Zeppelin and then play for a bit. awesome-o
Did you get the Pokewalker with it?
nope, too expensive for me with the Pokewalker which is a shame as i'd have loved to have it.
Ah well it's fun for a bit but nothing amazing, you're not missing much. Still nice to have as a collectable though I guess.
yeah that's why i'd have liked it more than for it's usefulness. still, if i see one cheapish on ebay perhaps i'll pick it up.
in other news i bought a gameboy colour on ebay today. i still have my old one but i picked this one up cheap because i've been toying with the idea of opening one up and sticking a frontlight in it.

If you do that let me know how hard/simple it is. Would like to get a cheap one sometime and have a go, having a Game Boy Color with a light would be awesome.
I would do naughty things with a GBC that has a frontlight.
Naughty, naughty things.
Naughty, naughty things.
yeah i saw some people who've done it and it got me really interested. there's a fair few tutorials out there on how to do it and it doesn't look too hard, i'm sure i could manage to feck it up though. of course, i may also do that awesome thing i do where i get a great idea/plan and then never finish it.
i've also managed to get an original gameboy for a tenner off ebay now too. i was thinking of trying to put a backlight in it but i'll have to investigate that a bit and see how hard that'll be. if it looks too much for me i can just keep it as a collection piece anyways, i love the retro look of it!
At very worst you could use it as a hammer, or a riot shield.
I'd use mine if it had a backlight, I love the design of the original Game Boy line.
I wish these weren't so expensive, I'd love to get one some day

Oh, just looked on eBay and there are a few on there much cheaper than they used to be.
sweet, i'd love to get one of those and a gameboy pocket. i just really like the retro style of them all!
