Arcade and Retro forum beers! (AKA the night of the scandalously drunk retro geeks)

CiDeRmAn

There should be the following, circumstances permitting...

Sausage rolls, as Neil says in The Inbetweeners, "There's always sausage rolls"
Mince Pies
Fruit Punch (or more accurately a bowl of whatever alcohol I have to hand + orange and pineapple juice)
Hot Chocolate, natch

and of course, Christmas Jumpers!
Well, a mildly festive geansaí at anyways...

DinoRex

Dizzy for the iPad will be out by then... I'll be sure to bring it along.

Look at you with all your work terminology. I've I see you posting anything containing "going forward" I'll know the Atavan we knew is truly dead

It's all about synergy, thinking outside the box to determine the KPI's that flow with the SLA's. Just if you want to mix it up a bit. :pac:

Bad case of Space mumps:D

CiDeRmAn

Better still Sparks,
I've scored this hot wimmin to come to the beers with you as your +1!



Just try not to piss her off, hard to play Boulder Dash with only one hand.....


Actually, scratch that, the game is so basic of course you can play it with one hand!

Myrddin

Not if she were the last water-yeti lookalike on Earth!

CiDeRmAn

I forget ignorant souls who haven't been illuminated by the glory of Red Dwarf and wouldn't recognise a good looking Gelf ladygirl when they see one!

Far from forgetting it, thats a direct quote from that episode

The episode in question is Justice

LISTER: Can't we find out who's inside by x-raying the pod?
HOLLY: No. Lead lining. Has to survive in space.
LISTER: there must be some way.
HOLLY: Oh, there is: all you have to do is hang around here for twenty-
four hours. Then, if you suddenly turn round and find your limbs are
scattered around Deep Space and your necks are full of saliva, you can
take it as read it probably wasn't Babs.

What you quoted is from Emohawk, Polymorph II not justice It's a common
misconception, held by all truly stupid people.:D

Sure! Bit of close part harmony....you are the sunshine in my life, that's why I'll always be ar'rrauu.....



Nope your apology is valid! Your Gelf pic is from the episode Emohawk Polymorph II which is what I quoted from. My Red Dwarf knowledge is all encompassing :cool::D

Nearly time to go to a Purple Alert!

Atavan-Halen

Yeah I can make the 16th!

CiDeRmAn

Finally have the place decorated, for the Beers of course, the fact they'll be up for Xmas is a bonus!
So, is it going to be Christmas Jumpers a-gogo?
If you must dress as an Elf be aware that it is a bit cold these nights for tights, so just say no...

CiDeRmAn

So, its nearly upon us and so the questions remain,

Do people know how to get to my house?

Does everyone have lifts sorted?

Will the rest all fit into Pdbhp's car?

Retr0gamer

I think it should be a themed night: Belt scrolling beat'em ups. A mix of captain america and the avengers, x-men arcade, Simpsons arcade, Bucky O'Hare, Double Dragon, Renegade, Final Fight, Captain Commando and the awe inspiring streets of rage.

pdbhp

Will try make this one, work permitting that is.

Bloody full time jobs really are scourge of gaming:(

Dammit I got found out:rolleyes:

As for Tallafornia I watched that steaming pile of turd last night and can say that it's an accurate portrayal of life in Tallaghtfornia..........NOT!!

johnny_ultimate

If anyone is driving (preferably on the South side!) and can offer a lift it would be much appreciated.

I have a driving lesson the next morning, but alas am still not in a position to be actively driving anywhere outside of quiet roads and nearby estates. Soon I shall be self-sufficient!

I can oblige and will be leaving early enough too. Where would be best to pick you up for our hot date err, retro night?

can you pm me the directions (think I got them last time when I couldnt make it) , hopefully googlemaps +phone will help me as well (face it I'm going to get lost )

CiDeRmAn

Right Luas, just pm'd you the directions I sent last time!
Hope they work out!

o1s1n

As usual, I will fling my hat into the ring for a lift if anyone can put up with me for the trip

Oh, and anyone interested in bringing their 3DS along? I need more streetpass hits! (Plus I want all your lovely Miis!)

DinoRex

I could also do with a lift... who ever gives me a lift can lick the bowl I use to mix up another cake...

wehey, excellent! Thanks That's perfect for me, I'd be passing Dundrum on the Luas on the way home from work anyway.

Excellent, I'll bring my AVP CPS2 board so. You know, just to make you eat the above words

CiDeRmAn

What console will I stick on the projector?
Last time it was the Nes which Sparks commandeered with Boulder Gash or something ...
I seem to remember that mental beat 'em up getting a good airing as well, perhaps Dinorex's arcade stick will work as planned this time!

o1s1n

Any chance we could rig up your MVS? I would kill to play Metal Slug and Blazing Star on a projector!

CiDeRmAn

That's a great idea, plus its attached to as Supergun so we can plumb in a jamma board as well if someone has one they want to bring. One player only mind you, the other stick is a Neogeo one and plugged into the MVS board.

o1s1n

Can your projector rotate the image vertically? I haven't had a chance to break out that Raiden 2 pcb since playing it on Andrew76's rotated tv a good while ago.
