Gc controllers, a loan of a decent dc av cable, I'd be happy to trade a DC vga box for one.

True. His evil PAL RF powers are too strong even for me.

Working on it, probably 7

Retr0gamer

I'll hopefully have time to get into the attic to get the Gamecube.

That's one hell of a power ****.

johnny_ultimate

Do you want me to bring a gamecube for this mad folly of yours?

Retr0 is picking me up a little after 19.30, so if you can make your way to Dinorex Heights for that time it would be great. You have my digits?

Sparks43

Cool does Cidey know?

CiDeRmAn

Why, yes, yes I do....
Now, Judasday Beers.... Is this a pants optional night or not?
Maybe both!

Dr Bob

right , on the way now!

johnny_ultimate

Anyone want anything in Ikea? We may or may not have ended up here by accident.

Dr Bob

cheers for the great night! , (and the gaming goodness cidey)

johnny_ultimate

Wonderful evening as ever.

8 player Mario LAN - I think we can basically shut this forum down now, as the dream has been realised. Serious lulz at the mass Rainbow Road rage quit.

Atavan-Halen

Thanks again to ciderman for hosing and nice to meet you all again! Also thanks to mr. Ultimate for the chocolate and thanks (I think) to dr bob for rise of the robots.

You's quite? I knew you guys had all finished too early

Great night as usual ciderman!

CiDeRmAn

Great thanks to all those who braved North Co Dublin, my lousy directions, hungry locals and the threat of having to play Sparks Videopac to come to the party last night.

8 player LAN Mario Kart was epic, albeit short lived due to a foolish attempt at the Rainbow Road
DrBobs Atari was unexpectedly awesome!
Dino's WiiU was very nice and I WANT!

Much thanks goes to my better half who facilitated the mayhem with food and understanding of the need to discuss the attributes of retrogaming at 1am at high volume!

Also, thanks goes to my son, Jack, in his Christmas Assassins Creed Onsie!

DinoRex

CiDeRmAn

This is going to sound crazy, but did someone pick up my car keys last night?
They have gone AWOL!
They may yet turn up but I have turned the house inside out to no avail....

DinoRex

I'll check inside my GameCube.

Did you check your shoes? When I lose something, sometimes it turns up in my shoes.

CiDeRmAn

I'm wearing my shoes, no suspicious pain when walking to indicate a state of keys within them, so I'm guessing they're not there......

CiDeRmAn

They turned up dangling from the ignition of my car... Dumb ass....

pdbhp

Thanks to Cidonadude for a fun night. Was really excited about the Wii U, was not let down.
Really want one now, might have to send a second letter to Santy asking for an alternatie gift.

o1s1n

Great to see you got 8 player Mario Kart going! how did that work? Two gamecubes?

2 Gamecubes, Retro's parents internet router lots of finger crossing and an intervention by the J-man himself.

o1s1n

You can link Gamecubes together via a router? Hah! That's amazing. Fair play chaps - who won???

pdbhp

I trashed them in Baby Park and I think Retro won on Rainbow Road.
It was the culmination of several attempts over the last few beers.

CiDeRmAn

Not sure who won but there was great competition between the 7th and 8th position karts.
Interesting factoid for those who weren't there, you can't select kart, driver or passenger in the LAN game, it gets assigned randomly.
Why is this important?
Well, obviously, if the wrong person gets her you wind up hearing that damned "I'm Daisy" sample over and over and over and over........

Atavan-Halen

Excuse me but I came 1st in the first match and 2nd on rainbow road!

DinoRex

I came 3rd on Rainbow Road!

CiDeRmAn

More like Rainbow Plummet if you ask me!
It was bizarre, you'd fall off the road 4 times in 30 seconds, with the restarts as usual but still maintain position because everyone else was busy falling off too!

There was definitely an advantage on the 29" TV, the poor shlubs on the portable had no chance, staring into a quarter of the 14" screen!

DinoRex

Wait until you see the Nights level in Sonic Racing Transformed. The whole thing looks like when the WiiU wasn't working on your TV.

johnny_ultimate

That Nights level is amazing. Its pretty much the whole game in one kart racing track!

you lads up for coming to mine sometime in January? On the plus side, I cant really rule of enternow my own house!

The house that spawned many memes! Sounds good!

Retr0gamer

I just want to see this pantry.

Prepare to be disappoint It's not so much a pantry as it is a small room with some shelves and a door to the back garden.

You can thank the Pyongster for blowing that one out of proportion :pac:

The gold wallpaper on the other hand though is a sight to behold. You'll instantly feel 100 times classier. Everyone is to bring smoking jackets and a brandy glass.

Will try to clear a date with the missus. Also have Enternow booked in for a bit of maintenance on the cab, so It'll be sometime after that.

/edit - just to note, it's really easy to get here. I don't live in the sticks. 130 from Abbey street and you'll be here in about 10 minutes.

DinoRex

If anyone is around next Friday or Saturday them I'm happy to host again. My flatmate is currently in Canada.

Retr0gamer

I'll be out with old school friends that night so can't make friday.

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

^ won't be able to go either
staying in Limerick, hoping to organize dinner with my bffs since I couldn't before Christmas
But will be seeing the pantry in January
