My girlfriend bought me a hip flask with that printed on it. I'm not sure if she was trying to point out that I have a drinking problem or to assist in giving me a drinking problem.

Retr0gamer

Would it be possible to get some GBA's and link cables to give FF Crystal Chronicles a go in 4 player? It's a pretty lousy game in single player but a hell of a lot of fun the more people that play.

I'll probably come with Jean, so I'm sorted for a lift, but may need directions.

Can probably give a lift to anyone else out my way. Sparks? O1s1n?

Yes please

Also dont forget to buy your drink today or tommorow as pubs and off licences are closed on friday

CiDeRmAn

Re GBAs, I have a GBA and two GBA SPs, including the AGS 101, not sure about the link cable though.

o1s1n

I wasn't going to bring any beers, but seeing as it's Good Friday I feel obliged to :pac:

DinoRex

I should have 2 SPs and 2 link cables.

(Still don't think Crystal Chronicles is all that great even in multiplayer though.)

I also found the memory card for my GameCube with my PSO characters on it, if we want to have a bit of play through on that.

Retr0gamer

I'd rather play PSO.

CiDeRmAn

So, have the snacks in, I've evicted the giant spiders from the gamesroom, or Kevins room as the head spider Kevin likes to call it..... anyways all systems go!

Aside from the cab, getting the pc back from Kerbdog this evening, installing some custom videocard drivers and hoping for the best later on!

Sparks43

Really looking forward to tomorrow

Badly need a night to properly relax.

Bring it on

Can you guys make it to Sunnyside for about 7.30?

Drop me a PM if you need my number, O1s1n.

Atavan-Halen

What time should I pop over to yours this evening cidey?

Also do you want me to bring anything?

CiDeRmAn

Remember you're picking up the Ikea cab! Ridge Racer Unbounded and Skyrim accepted as payment!
And as for when to arrive, 7pm to 8? Usual times, and pants are required!

CiDeRmAn

Haven't heard if the wanderer is making an appearance....

o1s1n

Hey Dinorex, you just live up the Malahide road right? Any idea what bus goes up that way? I should be able to jump on one in Fairview.

Sparks43

Yep. To the Artane round about.

o1s1n

Lovely stuff. I remember where your apartment is now. Will give you a call when I'm about.

Going by the ****ty bus times, it might not be for another 45 min or so.

Sparks43

Cracking night and a massive thank you to Cidey for having us over

Great to finally meet o1s1n and lovely to meet Jean

Needed a night to have fun and relax so thank you to all for putting up with my obsessions

A really big thanks to all that came along on the night, it was fantastic to see you all. Thanks to Atavan-halen for the games, had a quick shot of Unbounded and found it's a game better played at a time other than 4am!
I appreciate folk journeying to mine for some of these occasions, I know it's an excursion for many into the wilds!
Hope the Ikea cab loves it's new home and a special thanks to Retr0 for finding, and playing, all the pervy games, single handed.... because we all know where his other hand was!
So, thanks again and I look forward to doing it all again soon.

Oh, and Nintendo WiiU seems definitely designed for groups of friends

Retr0gamer

Hey now, Playgirls 2 was a surprisingly good game!

Thanks again for another great night ciderdude.

o1s1n

Thanks for the great night Ciderman! I've a crazy want for Luigi's Mansion now.

Nice to finally get to meet the world's greatest Boulder Dash player.

CiDeRmAn

Yeah, Retr0 is a pretty amazing Boulder Dash player alright, pity he's the only competent one in these parts, prefers Repton as well, so I hear.... well, he'd know, he's the expert!

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

Thanks for having us again Ciderdude, you're always so good for hosting beers and feeding us

Put The Ring on it when you show her (the movie or the game, either would do)

MrVestek

I really need to keep up with this thread more often... missed another good night it seems! Glad you all had a laugh!

o1s1n

Anyone fancy coming over for a ride on my Pony once it's out of the stables and in my living room? :pac:

DinoRex

I currently have Sunnyside to myself, so can host at any time as well.

I'm busy this Friday with a 21st but don't think I've anything planned again for ages.

CiDeRmAn

Well, lets see some dates people, but if it clashes with Iron Man 3 night I'm afraid I'll have to bow out!

Atavan-Halen

I don't have set days off in work so just name a date really!

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

Any date after the 19th

DinoRex

26th okay? Am I colliding with any tentpole box office releases?

A new awful Richard Linklater film is out, I see.
