@SethNintendo Well, I guess if we added up all the times that we should have picked something up we'd have a fortune!

In reality I expect I would have sold it a few years later when it was collecting dust... I'm currently debating AGAIN as to whether I should get rid of my Dreamcast, GameCube, N64 etc. But when you think about it a few beers later and you've got no Shenmue 2 and a hangover instead haha!

I was there just a few months back.

It's tiny, only space for a handful of folks! It's what I'd call "honest". It's really just a dusty collection of old bits, a proper dive bar really, so don't expect much more.

The chap was really nice to me when I was there though, turns out he's a huge fan of English football and showed me through his albums of classic English stadia from the 90s! Brilliant!

He also claimed to have worked on the Sega DC in some capacity, although my Japanese wasn't good enough to know what he did exactly.

Anyway, if you're in the area, stop off, they have a nice selection of ales and beers I thought! Cool to see it covered here...

It's telling that online betting is basically the only industry that can afford to sponsor anything big now. Takes away some of the shine of these sports in my eyes. Just another reminder of the insane sums involved, and the kids running around with inappropriately seedy companies on their merchandise t shirts...something is a little off.
