DREAMCAST RULED PART OF NORTHERN IRELAND FOR 7400 YEARS
Or maybe 6600 years, depending on if you add that bit on or take it away. Quite a lot of years, anyway.
“Whilst touring the Down County museum in N. Ireland, I was STUNNED to see that Dreamcast had a long and illustrious history in Ulster. According to the display, it ruled from 7,000BC to AD400. Unfortunately it doesn’t confirm that a new console is in production, but we all know that already. Regards” – Anon.

I’d go for 7399 years myself. There wasn’t a year zero.

Dont tell the Irish Sony Fanboys about this. We all know what the Irish are like with their petty quarrels getting out of hand.
WV – shicar – one more letter and I could have further offended the Northern Irish by reminding them that the only car they ever made was shi.

Trickstyle rocked. Trickstyle 2 on Dreamcast 2 please.

Down County?? Do lots of moon faces live there??

TrickStyle was pretty fun in a ‘near-launch game that I’ll never play again when some better stuff comes out’ kind of way.

Tell your brother that if him and his junkie pal touch my granddaughter again I’ll cut him.

Wow Trickstyle! ..there must be some amazing Sega gossip Paul Ross can tell us all.

Nah, it’s 7400 if it’s 7000 BC-400 AD inclusive (which it usually is, people just keep forgetting to say it is all).
December 11th, 2008 on 3:51 pm
I think all your calculations are incorrect, since AD in this context obviously stands for ‘After Dreamcast’, which means Dreamcast will still be ruling part of N. Ireland for a few more centuries.
Makes perfect sense.

How much physics is involved when you’re programming floaty things? I mean you’ve taken gravity out of the equation for starters….
December 11th, 2008 on 7:10 pm
You’ve taken friction out of the equation, not gravity.

Trickstyle was good, but Airblade on PS2 was much better and also featured the physics of Mr. Ross (and was also my first industry experience!) :)

Anonymous, I will ask you nicely to please stop being a cunt. The mere suggestion that a PS2 game is better than a Dreamcast game is sheer nonsense.

Just wanted to say… I loved Trickstyle!
December 12th, 2008 on 12:18 am
O yeah well I loved it more!

Trickstyle was wank. And still is. I can’t get my board to connect to those neon strips no matter how many times I try, and the slowdown is horrendous. In my opinion it was shit in 1999 and is still shit now. If you disagree you’ve clearly never played it. Toy Commander on the other hand…

I’d like to go on record (albeit anonymously) as saying that Trickstyle was abusively hard…it wasn’t just that I was crap at it, right?

Another glorious NPD day dawns!

This may be the only good thing Northern Ireland has ever done. I welcome back our Dreamcast overlord.

Paul Ross is a code God and the killer of JUICE!
Based on those 2 things I say woot woot to Mr Ross.

This is in a town called Downpatrick. I’m from there. Its a shit place full of drooling morons…….sorry gotta go a wipe my keyboard.

Dreamcast has one of the worst logos… ever.
