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

Well, it looks like the planets are aligning and the omens are positive for a 50/50 chance I might possibly show up at this retro gaming gathering, depending on other factors.

I'm usually around the Monkstown / Dun Laoghaire area but I'll be at a work thing until about 5pm in Damastown if you're around there?

Cheers.

Won't be able to make this car is not running at the mo and I'm not finished work until 7 so if I were to get the *shudder* bus, by the time I'd get home and get there, I'd probably have to leave for the bus again!

Knew a free BMW would let you down!
No one else coming over that way?
I think there is someone coming from the South Side, maybe EnterNow could be persuaded, sure you southsiders all live next to each other!

Utter bliss I tells ya

I don't see any games consoles? How can you live there?

MrVestek

Yeah I don't think I can make it without a lift... that bus only seems to go to Narnia 4 times a day I'd never catch it and be able to get home as well...

I've 2 controllers but that's it

CiDeRmAn

Ok, I've a GC, a pal copy of DD, and two controllers. the GC is also PAL.

Let the madness commence!!!

There's three tvs as well, of course one of them is in 'tate mode....

Retr0gamer

I've a PAL copy of DD, I have 4 controllers but I can be sure I can find them all.

It hasn't let me down! Just this once. And failed the nct 3 times. But other than that its perfectly fine!

Well if anyone is coming from the Dublin 14 area I'd be much obliged!

how could I forget sure? I didn't get back to my own til after midnight, worth it though :P
Game Grumps reminded me, we never had a Mario Party

CiDeRmAn

Well, I've got Mario Party on the GC and N64, so if we can avoid the digital tragedy that is Burn Cycle we could fire up Mario Party instead.
I've also "got" that rhythm game on the Wii.
Plus there's a bizarre Japanese copy of a Ape Escape party game on the PS2.

You should probably also include Cho Aniki in that exclusion list, just so there's no confusion (or hopes dashed!). :pac:

Have fun tomorrow night people! Really wish I was going.

I'll try to sort organizing one in the near future too. Moved around the sitting rooms so it's much more accommodating for a large group of folk.

Jack burton

I would also like to be going, but my usual weekend of working friday and saturday till 7 and 6 is the same.

I am going to Dublin next saturday though for a BJJ competition so I'll see if I can swing into town and have a browse around, wish I was able to know if theres anything in rage that I could get but the price fluctuation, I just cant take the risk with only a week to go

Sure come on out anyway, get here for 8 and have a laugh, head off at 1am or so, perfeck!

Jack burton

Ah I'd really like to, but already have to attend something else this Saturday. Next time I'll try and make it. Had a great laugh at the last one, plus I got to hold a Wily Wars manual!

Was that my one? /runs off to check it's still there

I'd go to more of these myself but distance is a killer unfortunately.

Jack burton

Ah it was indeed.

Yeah the distance is a killer, I went from my house to swords a few weeks ago in about a hour and 3/4 so its not too bad with the new road

CiDeRmAn

We'll have to plan the next one outside Dublin, not fair to be dragging you country lads into civilisation all the time

Although, where I live almost doesn't count, being out in the sticks... but, as we say, at least it's not Balbriggan!
