Thursday's live show - with James & tikay (***OFFICIAL THREAD***)
Never been into computer games apart from PGA Golf on the old Saga megadrive when i lived in Bpool going back at least 15 years
We would come home from the aracdes with pocket fulls of pound coins and play the 4 players version for a pound a hole. If 2 ppl split it - the other 2 would have to add a pound to the pot and so the pot would build each hole until sombody won. We,d play all night long until the arcades opend again and then back to my m8,s for my golf . Occasionly we,d get some sleep
Never played any games since then until the last year or 2 when my m8 introduced me to pro-evo soccer on the xbox and now Fifa 13. Its amazing how far games have come in the last 20 years. Imagine the next 20
Have a good show guys

My cousin got me hooked on the Sega Megadrive when I was 3. It was mostly Sonic the Hedgehog and Street Fighter. I've tried revisiting these and can't believe how difficult they are. Mad respect to my 3 year old self.
Tikay reminded me of playing chess. I used to play up to the age of 13 and was captain of the school team and got a few trophys. Its a great game and although i don,t play anymore i beleive it has helped my poker game as you have to think at least 2 or 3 moves ahead which helps in poker as well.
Last point - Omaha - Looking forward to JockBMW,s challenge. Only really played it in the last few months and despite far from being an expertt on it i,ve won a cpl of low stakes MTT,s and would love to play more when available on Sky
Enjoying the show btw
Matchday on the spectrum
Bubble Bobble c64
Kick Off Amiga
Super Monaco GP megadrive
i have three other things which occupy a lot of my time
playing online chess with other people
playing real time strategy games
finally trying to prove to my friends that newcastle are the best north east team
Enjoying the show as always. Thanks for the free ticket into tonights mini from Tuesdays competition, 1 bounty already so 1.88 up!
Questions:
Tikay: Who's playoff qb rushing record did Colin break, and what was the previous record?
James: What is the longest (distance) journey you can make in the uk on a single train?
As for games, I used to play alot of online role games (wow, eq etc), but these days mostly only poker. Back in the day, "ultimate" were the best makers, on the spectrum, eg Atic Atac, Sabrewulf etc. And who can not like a quick game of manic miner?

I didn't want to tangle with the other big stack at the table, so no pre re-raise but then I think I should bet the flop or if not check again at the turn. It's good aggression from my opponent. Would appreciate your thoughts.
can i ask did sky make a show about the viva las vegas winners at the wsop like they did the previous year as i found the show really good.
(i may just have missed it on the 861)
if so do you know when it next on?
thanks drrungood
I use to be OBSESSED with an Online game called Runescape but after that my addiction was Call of Duty - Modern Warfare 2 which probably took up 7 hours of my night after school lol
However, now I have semi quit the good old xbox
My favourite game has to be the Iphone application "Score!" which is where you have to rescore the goals of many legends in big international games - very very addictive lol
I also forgot to add a game many people will remember which is Space Invaders
Was a great game to pass time in school
