    So, as the bishop said to the brothel, how many are coming?
    Just so I can hopelessly over buy from Iceland!

    Again!

    Also, who has a lift, who needs a lift, who is going to have to walk?

    What consoles are being brought, what do we need to finally get Mario Kart to work

    I will be driving out and driving back, won't be too late back though as I'm up early in the morning.:( I would say I will be heading around 1am or so if that's any good to you you're more than welcome.

    Ah piss. I wanted to play 8 player Mario Kart!


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 29,755 CMod ✭✭✭✭johnny_ultimate


    If there's a ride to be hitched I'll be there :)


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 3,184 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dr Bob


    I'll be there , driving from maynooth as well so in theory I can give someone a lift (if they're vaugely on the way)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 585 ✭✭✭alpahaeagle


    Sorry to say I will be missing this one...:(

    Might be to busy playing something or other....and I just don't think I could take another session where our 8 player mario fails to happen.....:p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,056 ✭✭✭Sparks43

    There will be sleep overs for everyone in the audience if required.
    Also I can do a run to pick up Dino, Sparks and O1s1n if needed


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,041 ✭✭✭pdbhp


    I'm gonna drive out if possible, Atavan Halen we need to make a plan.
    If I have a car with more seats I can pick up O1s1n (I've always wanted to see how the other half live what with their pantries and butlers etc.)


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


    Ill be driving so lifts from the south side for all! Except if there's more than three who need a lift.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Hey, I just had an epiphany!

    We can have the first ever, live, Ask Atavan Q&A!

    Another reason not to miss this seasonal Beers!

    As long as I can have red velour backdrop.

    I have a funny feeling I may have to admit defeat as I seem to have fallen foul of the Rule of EnterNow. There will be no 8 player Mario Kart for me this weekend:( I hope you all have a great night and Ciderman doesn't feed you all to death.

    Thanks man! I'll definitely take you up on that offer.

    My main thing now is figuring a lift home afterwards. If anyone can dump me in the city centre on their way home I can make my way from there:)


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 29,755 CMod ✭✭✭✭johnny_ultimate


    Similar dilemma as o1s1n. If Atavan is driving, any chance of booking a seat there? Although if anyone is going back through the city centre between 1 and 4 AM it would be very much appreciated :)


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Once again, there will be a sleep over service available for any or all that night, no problem, I'm off so I can drop peeps to Swords or Dublin proper

    We can walk back together. Sure we'll have some great adventures along the way.

    Adventure Time with Johnny and O1s1n?

    Featuring Ciderman as the Ice King! And Atavan as Gunther!

    Sera can Marcelline and Retr0 as the Princess!

    But my name means Princess and there's a guy who comes into the shop and calls of Princess who's a pure Ice King, no word of a lie
    Retr0 should be LSP, I want to be Ghost Princess


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

    Magic Man, the first dick in mainstream animation.
    The Joker may be insanely evil but Magic Man is just a grade A Shmuck!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,695 ✭✭✭DinoRex


    You should see what he did in this weeks super creepy episode.

  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 51,890 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Pfft, I won! I needed to win something after the crushing defeat at the 'Battle of Panel de Pon'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,695 ✭✭✭DinoRex


    Oh and I got Sera's girl with the pony tail killed pretty quick in Zombi U when I went back to playing it.

    I can see your kids retelling of the Battle of Panel de Pon, "Mammy, tell us again of the time granny Sera found grandad's gaming kryptonite "

    And, thusly, legends are made...

    Fuuuu I'm sitting in work at the moment absolutely dying at my desk with some sort of virus. At least I think it's a virus. Felt like this a few weeks ago and that's what the doctor said I had. Woozy, headache, losing voice, nose like Niagara.

    Hopefully I'm not like this tomorrow or I'll be doing a ROE :(


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    But you can't!
    Sure, Shock Troopers is here, waiting for you!
    And where better for a sick man to be than in a house with two nurses!

    Also, does anyone have a spare DC av cable, I realise the reason for my poor picture quality from that console is that I am using the tv mode on the Vga adaptor.
    I'd be willing to trade the Vga box for the av cable

    That is none of your business! How dare you throw around wild accusations of me sleeping with women of dubious origin!! I'm off to jamma+.


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


    Also who's coming with me tomorrow evening? Just so I know! I'm finished work at 5.30 so hoping to leave around 6.30-7ish.

    I won't be finished work till half 6 so I'll drive myself out.
    I'm doing an impression of O1s1n at the mo, bloody dying the last 3 days.
    Still coming though as I really want to check out dino's Wii U and possibly make sweet sweet love to his gamepad.
