    I'm sure we will see that infernal Batman game beaten eventually

    Boudlerdash had a level editor title 30 years before Mario.

    So so true

    Probably a better editor too


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,652 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    So, is it possible to make a Boulder Dash level in Super Mario Maker?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,245 ✭✭✭MrVestek


    Right, if I'm feeling better later on tonight I should be getting a lift in with Avatan.

    Does anybody want me to bring anything with me?

    I was thinking a typing of the dead session on the Dreamcast could be a bit of fun?

    I have the DC and a keyboard somewhere, bring it along, with the caveat that it probably won't be played due to Atavan playing a teen quiz game as a character called Bum, Retr0 playing through Burn Cycle or Dinorex playing that infernal Batman game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    Only on my way now! See you guys soon!


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,652 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Thanks to everyone who came along this evening, it was a great night, from Super Mario Maker with Retr0's failure and Sparks' success in Starlord's creations to watching horny teens get their just desserts in Until Dawn, plus some Bubble Bobble, Layer Section and a game so awesome if killed my Xbox :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    Just home now, thanks again!


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,652 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Damn, here I am at work.
    And I'm tired.
    But worth it.
    Perhaps they could combine Super Mario Maker and Until Dawn, so you could build your own spooky axe murderer filled lonely pathways through the woods and ask dumb ass teens to follow them to their doom.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    Thanks for your hospitality once again! Another fun night!


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,036 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Sorry about Metal Wolf Chaos. The game was just too awesomely American for the most American console ever. Thanks for another great night!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    You're making me sad, Michael.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,652 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    And he killed my Xbox!
    You b@stard!!

    Luckily I have another one, tucked away upstairs.
    In the games room no one went into.... :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,906 ✭✭✭CosmicSmash


    Thanks for entertaining us all last night, wish I stayed longer. The night flew in :(

    Thanks for having us again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,245 ✭✭✭MrVestek


    Cheers again for the invite. Was good to see you guys again... even if I did end up falling asleep for a bit. :P


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,652 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    So, Halloween, it can only mean it's nearly time to sit on Dinorex's floor and play terrible horror themed games!!
    Though this year we could see some infernal Mario Maker ghost house creations as well!

    Yep!

    Sorry not to get to planning it sooner. Work has been crazy.

    How does the 24th suit people?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,652 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Yeah, sounds good, I'll be working the day of and the day after but that's no problem, I'll just pull a Vestek and fall asleep, awake up then pretend to have seen it all

    I have moved since last time... but only just across the road to a bigger place right next to Priory Hall, so I hope no one is allergic to pyrite.

    Brilliant, as it's scary game night I'll wear the brown trousers

    A friend of mine wants to know if he can get a lift from the Tallaght area to this to save him a taxi ride from Dublin?
