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

MrVestek

Alright alright I'll burn a erm... backup copy of Powerstone... unless anyone else has any copies? :-)

CiDeRmAn

I have the original, but may not be home after work.

Warning:

Powerstone 2
+
Dreamcast
_______________
Disappointment

MrVestek

I have my portable hard drive with me with... Dreamcast stuff on it. Somebody bring blank CDs! :P

Also CoinOps4 Xbox sitting here with me now in work tempting me to fire it up and play something. Only have two controllers with me though so if anyone has any Xbox controllers bring them with you!

My 360 is currently trying to red ring itself in anticipation :pac:

MrVestek

Ahh ****e just realised... should have brought my Dreamcast BBA with me if anyone fancied checking out PSO.

Atavan-Halen

I should be going after all. Need me to bring anything? I'll bring the chipped ps1 and a few blank discs, the famicom and the gamecube NR reader as I know you like your dev stuff o1s1n :P

o1s1n

Hey! Bring that Gamecube!!!! Would love to see it.

Dr Bob

right , the law of beers is in full effect , more than likely wont be able to make it , (and I really wanted to compare pantrys!) have fun guys.

o1s1n

Awh! whatever it is, it's not as important !!!! :P

I have three screens running at once...trying to find a sound balance between them. It's sounds like a bloody arcade.

The Last Bandit

Had really hoped to make it this one and finally put some strange faces to the strange names but alas my pass was been revoked

Get Sera or someone to take some pics of the cab and other setups in action. Just Photoshop out the dodgy looking folk.

Retr0gamer

I'm off to collect sarah. No CDi people will be glad to know but I brought a bunch of CD-Rs.

MrVestek

Ok, waiting on a 130 bus as we speak so should be there soon.

Got a bit side tracked by bumping into old work colleagues that dragged me against my will to a few pubs but I'm back on track now. :-)

Atavan-Halen

Leaving now in a few minutes. Google maps better lead me in the right direction. But just watch out for any flares in case I get lost.

CosmicSmash

I think I will be heading down, anything I can bring along?

TechnoFreek

So. What's happening at oisin's?

There's some MVS on the Neo Geo 25, there's some Powerstone on the DC.
All good!
Also some Famicom and Xbox hdd action!

TechnoFreek

What time the prostitutes arriving at?

Can't believe I'm missing out on that freebie.

johnny_ultimate

Cheers o1s1n for hosting, that gold wallpaper lived up to expectations (insert 'like a sir. jpg) here. Sorry had to bolt early, especially since there were still many power-ups that needed stealing in NSMBU

Atavan-Halen

Just in the door now, thanks again to o1s1n for hosting!

P.s you have no liquor cabinet anymore.

CiDeRmAn

Great night, turns out I'm better at collecting games than playing them, I know this based on the fact that I lost every game I played last night
Great seeing everyone again, love the Neogeo 25!
Thanks for being a great host O1s1n!

(and thanks for relieving me of the old man smell crisps! (no, not this old man!))

CosmicSmash

Worth the journey to see that cab, thanks again.

Ugh my poor head...

Cheers for hosting o1s1n I had a great night and it was lovely to meet you all.

o1s1n

Thanks for dropping out everyone! Had a great night

Also great seeing the cab get so much use, must have been on for a solid straight 7 hours. By far the longest it's ever been on since I picked it up.

Atavan - I need that GC NR reader. Fancy swapping it for a drinks cabinet? :pac:

CiDeRmAn

He'd consider it if it was a fully stocked drinks cabinet.....

CosmicSmash

and a six pack of those Guinness crisps.

Retr0gamer

Thanks for a great night o1s1n. Now I just have to convince my parents to let me get a SNK candy cab in the house.

o1s1n

Just polishing off those Guinness crisps now. They're really tasty! Cheers for hooking me up Cider

Is she a strong woman? As long as you can get one into the house without her seeing then she's going to have a hard time moving it out :pac:

Throw in a bottle of sambuca, a Brazilian hooker and 5 minutes in a dark alley and we have a deal.

I think her hatred for games would give her the strength of a thousand men to lift it on her own :P

Although you may be in trouble if she can handle one of these.

It may be safer to soften her up to the idea, I going to try doing the same myself. I'm going to start a candy cab fund, it may take a while though.:(

Late thanks for having us over I was too lazy to reply on my mobile.

o1s1n

I forgot we had played that. Yeah I just suck balls in general thanks for reminding me.

CiDeRmAn

I'm happy to host the one in late March, might slip into April....
Assuming folk don't mind the trek.
e'll assume the weekend of the 17th is out!
We're not playing Leprechaun all night!

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

My Mam's 60th is on the 15th of March and I've a 21st around lie 5th of April but any other weekend is fine

CiDeRmAn

Woohoo!
We're all going to have a combined Sera's mums 60th and a Beers!
Does she have any single friends, for Atavan?

CiDeRmAn

Maybe the 22nd of March then?
This is a sketchy date, I don't think there's anything on that weekend.
Will peeps be all partied out after the St Paddys weekend fessstee-val?

o1s1n

Would we have the makings of 10 player Saturn Bomberman between us?

Don't have any multitaps myself, but just checking them out now for prices.

I think I've three Saturn pads in the house at the moment.

CiDeRmAn

Yup, I have a pad or two here, as well as Saturn Bomberman

DinoRex

Should also have a pad or two here...

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

It's grand for me, the next week I'll be visiting my aunt in the UK

CiDeRmAn

So, Friday 22nd of March good for folk to get to mine?
I should finally have the cab working, mostly, properly by then!

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

Not sure, depends how early I have to babysit the next day, will find out tonight.
