The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
May 3rd, just a few days away now, so what will happen on these forums?
I've glanced into my crystal balls, given them a good rum, and come up with these predictions:
The first "Mine has arrived" post will come in, and be barely readable, as over excited be-mittened hands hammer away at the keyboard. Goatboy will laugh. Half an hour later the original poster will come back, asking how to open the box. Goatboy will laugh even harder. Much later the poster will return again, asking where they plugin their N64 cartidges. We will hear a loud thump as Goatboy falls from his chair. Late in the evening we hear a news story about a man that's laughing so hard that he can barely breathe, and has had to be taken to hospital, tears of laughter still flowing. We assume this is Goatboy.
I post frequent reports during the day, from work, letting you know if it has arrived or not, but I'll be at work, and won't be able to play.
A few regular or notable Nintendo fans will give a 'first impressions' account of the Gamecube, then they'll disappear for the rest of the day.
A non-Nintendo fan will report that they walked past a game store at midday, and there was no one inside, so the Gamecube must be a flop. This will probably be Turbonutter.
Your Honour will come on to say that he's traded in his Xbox for a Gamecube, only to return later to say that he's changed his mind, and gone back to the Xbox. Then back to the PS2. Then a Gamecube again. Finally deciding to trade it all in for porn.
Wookiee Monster will give him first impressions of the Gamecube, having surprised us all by buying one on the spur of the moment.
A mysterious JAT will arrive, stating that the Gamecube is crap, and the new Mario game isthe worst they've played, but Zelda isn't too bad.
Late in the evening the first reports of finished games of Luigi's Mansion will come in, with some disappointment, but others will want to go back and start over.
In the customer service forum someone will insist SR are the worst company ever, as they ordered yesterday, but their Cube never came.
Finally, the first person that had their Gamecube arrive will come back to say they've got it working, and they think it's great.

It's so true. Mind you, when May 3rd comes around, most Cube owners will be busy testing their new machine to be on chat. Unless they buy Universal Studios, in which case they'll be on here in seconds to hurl abuse at the developer.
