How can 8-bit be retro, guitars are older than computers.

Rather than argue about dumb things like vaccinations for infants, it would be "So are we raising him on the Nullsleep LSDJ tutorial or what?"
Hahaha me and my fiancée agree on vaccinations and are only getting the required ones for her daughter(3) and our little boy(1). circumcision was the fun one... As someone very into tattoos and body mods I was against it completely as I see it as an unnecessary and painful procedure that everyone does to their boys because everyone else does it. It holds to many biblical ideals for my liking and I see it as something a child can choose to remove when they are at an age where they understand what it is and if they personally feel the need for it to be removed. Her baby Dr. Confirmed my belief of people only doing it because it's popular in society by remarking that "there is no evidence that it's healthier or better for the baby but I know I circumcised my two boys because I didn't want them peeing next to other boys and getting made fun of for looking different". Well his stupid comments worried my fiancée into getting it done and after seeing how much pain our new little guy was in she instantly and to this day regrets.
Did you get the castration to put in your fiancée's purse before or after your son's circumcision? Fucking hell.

Just buy a VinylR and stick it in your VinylRW Drive and burn some tracks onto it, duh.

Topic: [Liverpool UK] Fri 31st Jan - CHIPFEST 9 PUNX EDITION! (7 replies, posted in Past Events)
https://www.facebook.com/events/4806212 … 2/?fref=ts
CalmDownKidder Presents....ChipFest 9!
UPDATE: if you dress up as a wrestler (and actually make effort), you get *FREE* entry.
Welcome to the second of many once-every-two-months ChipFests, and the 9th ChipFest so far. This show also marks James CalmDownKidder's 25th Birthday, so there'll probably be free cake and stuff too!
~~~Organ Freeman~~~
Alien synth-rock from Wirral; rocking two microphones, two drummers and a Yamaha QY700 MIDI sequencer, Organ Freeman have been playing various shows in the UK to massive acclaim, including stints playing with Ms Dynamite and soon to be performing with OPM! Their live shows are a real treat - not to be missed!

~~~XGETXREALX~~~
Straight Edge Game Boy Punk from Newcastle!
"We practice a unique blend of hardcore, skate punk and chiptune, weaving guitars with Game Boys in a heady hardcore mix of angst and stokedness!"

~~~The Tin Foil Hat Brigade~~~
It's my birthday and I'll play if I want to!
The Tin Foil Hat Brigade (or James Smith to his mates) is a Liverpool, England based act who uses Nintendo Game Boys to create his punk stylings.
Songs run the gamut of emotions from A-B, and include such fare as Road Rage, Relationships, and perhaps most crucially, shouting abuse at women from cars.
TTFHB has played amongst such artists as Petrol Bastard, Goto80 and Nullsleep, and he would be a perfect fit for your small child's birthday party/Bar Mitzvah or other social gathering.

~~~Euan Lynn~~~
Euan Lynn comes from the North-East of England and makes lo-fi surfy garage punk with a Game Boy and guitar inspired by the likes of The Ramones, 60's surf rock and a misspent youth involving video games and skateboards
"His songs are short, to the point and not for the fainthearted. His vocals sound like he’s phoning in from the edge of a nervous breakdown, while battling through swathes of lofi industrial noise. Right up my street." - Tom Robinson
"A glorious surf punk racket via guitar and the humble Game Boy" - NARC Magazine

Re: Who runs this site? (68 replies, posted in General Discussion)
This is why having a legit "rival"/sister site in 8bc was so good - the "srs bsns" of CMO was the yin to the "super fun dope" chilling out of 8bc's yang. Now 8bc is gone AND NEVER COMING BACK, cmo kinda became dead because there was nowhere to have fun (altho every1 is on fcbk/twitter/tumblez now) and now there's shit trolls on here who don't get stopped so it's a bit weird.

A Raspberry Pi with a pre-installed OS packed with emulators in a classic console case would probably sell, to be honest.

It's a bit of fun, stop being whiny babies.
I wouldn't get one myself, but that's because it's £70 for a 500gb drive
