Who was playing their GC in the portable upstairs? It's probably still in it!
I'm not sure when my Chrimbo party is on, 8th is noted as a non starter though.
If there are more no touchy dates lash them up....

Score. I got a game and and GBA-SP that evening then.

Usually I just leave with someone else's innocence...

Looks like Friday, the 7th of December peoples.
I have a stag night the following weekend and won't be about but if the 7th doesn't suit enough I guess someone else can host on the following weekend without me

DinoRex

I think that works for me. And I can give you back all your stuff as an xmas present.

Atavan-Halen

Speaking of presents are we doing a secret Santa this year?

CiDeRmAn

I think that would be cool, everyone who says they're coming better get their ass over here, the Rule of Enternow better not apply to Christmas doos!
There will be couch/floor/patio space provided for certain poor souls who want to stay over.... names will be submitted to background check beforehand....

I don't want to get Dinorex as my secret santa, his plan, as outlined above, would fill me with disappointment, as would a goat in Kenya, I mean, how can I have fun with a goat if it's sent to Kenya?

CosmicSmash

I don't know Ciderman, it gets a little bit scary around them there parts when the sun goes down. :pac:

CiDeRmAn

I can promise that there will be no ass r*ping before, during or after the Christmas Beers, the local population will be dosed with Androcur and so will be unable to rise to the occasion...

I will be driving this time if I do make it out, that taxi man I got the last time was a joke. I wonder could we convince certain individuals that are not too far from me to make it out this time with an offer of transport.

No, and he had a sat nav. Had to phone Ciderman about three or four times on the way over.

Fukc this, I'm off to Jamma+

CiDeRmAn

Well, I will send a googlemaps link to anyone who wants it.
My house name is now on the thing so there is no excuse for folk getting lost.
Anyhow, I'll clearly identify it by burning an effigy of a selection of Army Men games by the gate, that way the house will be easily identifiable.

More importantly, is there anyone for whom the 7th of December is a no-no?
If so we can do something about it but we need to know now.
Will Enternow go?
Will Atavan be sober?
Will O1s1n venture out?
Will Sera be still dating that loser?
Will Retr0 be still thanking his lucky stars that someone was willing to date him, and not expect to be paid an hourly rate?
All these questions will, hopefully, be answered!

Jack sorted it out last year so I assumed he'd be in charge again, it was him wasn't it?

How can you call him a loser when everything he has runs at 60hz! :P
but seriously I'm just in it for the divorce settlement in many moons ahead

Actually, if you want your stuff back you'll have to challenge me to a duel across time and space!

Will have to pay to the party by next Friday can you let me know if it's definitely the 7th?

Sparks43

I would be up for the 7th

And i will also bring along the Videopac for true retro goodness

CiDeRmAn

It's the 7th for sure, the following weekend is out and after that is too close to the Jebus Day... I wonder would it work like the Super Mario Bros, the Super Jesus Twins....

Great! This is a Saturday, right? Work won't interfere in that case

Edit - ah, wait, I think it IS a Friday. Will do me best!

I hope that's not the rule of EnterNow kicking in. If I do venture out I will be driving so that's two offers of an empty seat.

Jack burton

Working till 7 on Friday and back in 7 on Saturday morning.

Have to go save little china town aswell so no Jack Burton this time

o1s1n

Where I come from, we call that situation an 'all nighter'

You can sleep once work is finished on Saturday

Atavan-Halen

I'll more than likely be in work the Saturday so won't be too late!

7 Friday morning till I get home from work at 8 on Saturday night, christ I dont think I can do it. Plus last time I almost cut my fingers off in work :eek:

CiDeRmAn

Well, I'm on duty around the same and I have, at times, had to dodge furniture aimed at my head!

Plus, Mr Burton, lets not underestimate the stamina of someone so expert in BJ's!

o1s1n

BJ

Burton
Jack

:eek:

Get the losers home early so we can break out the Burn Cycle at 2am

CiDeRmAn

Unless that's a Ghost Rider reference I don't think so! The CDi is banned! Sure with Burn Cycles level of interactivity we'd be better off watching a YouTube speed run instead!

DinoRex

But EGM voted it BEST CDi game of 1994 in their buyers guide!

I'll definitely head along if there's room in a car

Also, anyone heading to this on Wednesday: http://sciencegallery.com/events/2012/11/gamecitynights-after-dark-exploration-videogame-culture Seems like it could be worth a fiver.

Jesus that's five minutes away from where I work.

I am so there.

o1s1n

Speakers will include Martin Hollis, Producer and Director of Goldeneye 007.

If Retr0 is going, I'll be at the very front with the biggest box of popcorn I can find :pac:

CiDeRmAn

That would be pure legend, Retr0 "Mr Hollis, why does your game now enshrine everything sh1te about the genre it used to define?"....
Next thing Sera is in, dragging Hollis off of her man....
