Distance and lack of liftage have decreased my chances of attending too. I wish fun times for those who make the epic pilgrimage.

Maybe Retr0 can sort you out from Dino's gaff... give him a call.
Otherwise I'll see what I can do.

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

Almost finished packing my bag, other than the GC controllers, anything else I should bring?

DinoRex

Birth control. Proximity to a Gamecube LAN may cause pregnancy.

can Retr0 be used as birth control? in his sailor fuku?
Is the Gamecube LAN on tier 15?
Getting the 4ish bus, someone remind me again to bring GC controllers

Actually the CDi is a proven method of avoiding unwanted pregnancy, by virtue of the fact that people who openly own one seldom score.
You're a very understanding woman Sera, you shoulder the burden so others don't have to!

So, the morning before the Beers...
Time to get the place ready...
Nachos..
Haribos...
Pizzas..
Sausage inna bun..
Hoovering
Polishing
Hiding any sharp instruments..
Hide the good booze..
Get refuse container ready in case Retr0 brings his infernal CDi again!

Atavan-Halen

I won't be there so no need to hide the booze!

we only hide it because we don't have one of these

CiDeRmAn

Just to say that there is ample couch space if a sleep over is required, I can ferry in the AM if peeps have trains or buses to catch

Retr0gamer

Do you have two controllers for the Neo Geo, I bought King of Fighters XIII but it didn't arrive and I'm in a mood to play some SNK fighters!

CiDeRmAn

I have a standard Aes stick and a Neo Geo CD stick here. Also Shock Troopers for 2 player larfs!

Retr0gamer

Ugh, Neo Geo CD stick. I'll bring my one then, dont want to be lumped with the dodgy stick :P

Any thing else that I should bring?

my copy of The Ring lol, will I bring my back up of Calling? it's worth too much to bring the real thing :P

Retr0gamer

No, fat ghosts scare me

CiDeRmAn

Fat Ghosts?
I don't think I've anything with those.
There's some rotund zombies in House of the Dead, do they count??

DinoRex

Are they the ghosts of fat people who died or ghosts who ate too much after death?

CiDeRmAn

Hard to imagine fat being stored after death has occurred, must be the former....

I imagine Weightwatchers: Afterlife Club is under subscribed to be sure.

DinoRex

You clearly know little of ectoplasm!

Ah yes, ectoplasm, the muffin tops of the ghost world

CosmicSmash

What's the latest head count for tonight?

Retr0gamer

Depending on my car still running I'm going with 3 lucky passengers.

CiDeRmAn

I'm not sure where we are, if no one turns up I'll be eating a lot of party food on my own!
Hopefully there'll be 10 or so, the more the merrier!

CosmicSmash

I should be putting in an appearance once I don't fall victim to the rule of EnterNow.

Sure we'll find out!
This thing will be in full effect around half 7 to 8

OwaynOTT

Im coming up. Ciderman, can you pm me your number in case I get lost? Or will you be keeping an eye on here?
I've no games to bring, their all packed up, so do I need anything?

Retr0gamer

Right, have 4 GC controllers, a Gamecube with all the wires, Mario Kart DD, a memory card with all MK DD completed on it and a Neo Geo controller. Anything I'm forgetting?

Also found while I was up there my second PS3 controller and where my mam hid my sailor moon costume! Oh joy!

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

forgot Calling, no fat ghosts :-(

Retr0gamer

Bringing 1080 Avalanche as well since it's apparently LAN compatible. Only noticed it has no manual. Gamestop sticker on the front of it, ****ing typical.

Oi!

Why are they lucky, will they get a hand shandy in the back for a blowout sale price of a fiver?

CiDeRmAn

I have a copy of 1080 here as well, should have a manual with it...

I'm equal opportunities when it comes to reach arounds.

Sparks43

Guys sorry but im out

After getting sick in college and im feeling really **** at the moment

Im sure Enternow will have a law that covers this

Thanks Retro for the offer of a lift but i dont think it would be a good idea to spread whatever the hell i have to all you guys

Play some Boulder Dash for me please

CiDeRmAn

Halo: Reach (around)...

You know, topical game title jokes, they are popular and everyone knows them then, over a little time, everyone forgets about it as the next game comes along with a joke about it's title.

I mean, Retr0 may be doing Halo: Reach (around)s now, but give it a little while and it'll be Skyrimming to beat the band!

Bugger, sorry to hear it man.

Hopefully see you at the next one.

The rule of Enternow covers this alright.
Never thought you'd be falling into that category!

Retr0gamer

I really like Halo Reach funnily enough. Awful story though.

CiDeRmAn

Atavan!
Get your ass over here!

DinoRex

I have my suitcase packed!

CiDeRmAn

Hmm, looks like you packed it some time in the 1940's!

OwaynOTT

I'm near now. What's the house look like?

I was going but I'm attending dinner.

Dr Bob

Enternows law is in full effect , the little fella has a chest infection , he's grand but leaving the wife with 2 unhappy kids for the night would be a BAD thing , so thats my non attendance explained
...hopefully you all have a great night

CiDeRmAn

Tired but have clearing up to do!
Great night, thanks to all for coming, especially the newer members and those who came along for the first time.

DinoRex

I tried to get some Mario Party 8 action going back at my place afterward but no one was interested...

CiDeRmAn

Philistines!
