Turbob Xpress: Bringing affordable "gamer's" games to the community! Nearly Gone

780racer · 03/18/2016, 11:23 PM

Quote from: cdpog on 03/18/2016, 11:18 PMIt seems Im a bit late to this party. If Bernie is out, then who can we contact about the discs that are still available? Is it all over? wont someone think of the children?

He was out already anyways.

shabba · 03/18/2016, 11:53 PM

Find him on Facebook. He's active there.

Mathius · 03/19/2016, 12:38 AM

I would recommend leaving Bernie alone for the time being. If we decide to join up with the producer of the bootlegs again we will announce it here. As for now there are no plans to do so. Thanks for everyone's support.

ParanoiaDragon · 03/19/2016, 02:16 AM

Hmm, I hope he's doing alright. I get the feeling maybe people were bugging him about this project, & got tired of it? That's all I can think of.

martinine · 03/19/2016, 07:37 AM

From someone who has been here about a year, Bernie went out of his way to make me feel welcome. Seemed to always have something good to say in threads. Hopefully he will return. I'd rather have a good community member than more pressed discs! Come back Bern!

Does anyone know why Bernie left? I hope it wasn't because people were bugging him for these discs. If so that would suck. He gave so much to this community.

retro junkie · 03/19/2016, 09:25 PM

It seems very serious, to me, to go through the trouble of closing his account. A cause of concern. Though it could be something personal.

Sir bernsalot won't reply to me on the facebooks... And while I cannot recall for sure if we were FB friends at one time, I can say with certainty that we are not at this time.

You did forget to have RJ mention Bernie in the PSA you MF'er!!!

geise · 03/20/2016, 07:22 PM

I just hope Bernie is doing alright even if he's gone off the forums.

As Esteban and Sparky would suggest we all need to come together for a group hug.

Look forward to seeing you at MGC, buddy.

Medic_wheat · 06/04/2016, 06:54 PM

So I am a bit confused as his thread is 50 pages and the OP said not to contact him directly.

Are there still loose pressed games available for $5? And is there someone else who can assist while Bernie is on Halliday?

Mathius · 06/04/2016, 09:40 PM

I can ask Bernie if anyone is interested. I'm not sure what stock is left though.

EmperorIng · 06/05/2016, 01:38 AM

If you check out my sales thread in the PCE subforum, I have two of the discs for sale right now for the price Bernie et al. were offering them.

Sorry toymachine. I liked NOFX quite a few years ago but now I have seen the error in my ways. Much better punk out there

seieienbu · 06/06/2016, 03:18 AM

NOFX was pretty consistently alright forever. I'm going to listen to The Decline now.

Better punk is out there for sure. You just have to accept nofx for what they are and enjoy the humor. Same goes with Guttermouth.

I'd love a copy of Dracula X if there's any still available??

neopolss · 07/07/2016, 12:50 AM

Any chance we might see more games in the future? Id love to get a saphire, since i missed out whenever the last run was done.

Ahh, poop. So this is dead then (no more being done again ever?)

EmperorIng · 08/29/2016, 12:54 AM

Don't get me wrong; these discs are great and a really unique/cool gift to PCEFX, but once I finally burned my first normal blank CDr, and found the game to work perfectly on my Duo-R, a lot of my trepidation about using blank CDs evaporated.

Otaking · 08/29/2016, 05:14 AM

CDRs work but apparently over time wear out your laser quicker than normal pressed CDs.

People have been saying this for years. Is there actual evidence that this is true?
