So, is everyone still good for Friday?

Friday sounds good to me, who's hosting?

CiDeRmAn · 23-04-2013 12:33pm

I don't know if I'll make this one, doing something earlier, might make it over later, if folk agree to have the Dinorex tourney done before I get there! That damn screeching! I can't get rid of it out of my mind!!!!

It's going to be a pants party!

I think it was till only 2 people confirmed they were going!
My little fella is a bit sick at the moment so I cant go , 10th should be ok though (hopefully)

Retr0gamer · 26-04-2013 1:09pm

10th isn't good for me, it's the night before my next game design project is due and I'll more than likely be pulling an all nighter trying to get rid of bugs.

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy · 26-04-2013 1:22pm

I've Fight Like Apes next Friday (3rd) so after that I'm free

SATURDAY?!

Ohhh ok then. :-) Can you PM the directions to your place by any chance? Also is there any crash space? If not 'tis grand.

You might remember a few weeks back I posted about a retro collecting documentary, it's nearly done now and the social side of things came up a lot - now feel free to tell me to feck off if you want - but would you mind me getting a few shots at the beers to show that social side of retro gaming - won't take long, and you can just do what you would have been doing otherwise - no interviews or anything like that. If it's ok with the host and a few of you, anyone else who wants to stay off camera can be kept out of the shots too.

Have you seen the meme thread? I wouldn't expect many volunteers for pics if I were you :pac:

I don't mind that at all. I'll even wear my Dreamcast t-shirt for posterity reasons... :P

o1s1n · 18-05-2013 9:49pm

Anyone up for a beers in mine sometime soon? Have to christen this new cab!

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy · 18-05-2013 10:01pm

I'm free any time but have to check the weekend of my birthday (7th) we've a 20th anniversary mass for my great aunt but can't remember which day my cousin picked for it.
Edit - and next week I've to mind my nephews the whole weekend

CiDeRmAn · 19-05-2013 12:33am

Sounds good alright, dates please!
That way I can stock up on Guinness crisps!

o1s1n · 19-05-2013 1:20am

Okay so, how about Friday the 31st as a prelim date? I don't have much on over the next few weeks so should be good to host whenever works for people.

No Guinness crisps no entry!

CiDeRmAn · 19-05-2013 1:35am

I think a quick prayer of remembrance for the Beers that never was in DinoRexs place, I'm sure it would have been the best, even with pants.

Sparks43 · 19-05-2013 1:58am

I enjoy attention whenever I get it but this is, frankly, disturbs me!
Are we talking Steel Battalion here?
Is it Guinness crisps?

You are both sick, sick people and that worries me:(....I in all my innocence meant "Steel Battalion Controller".

Good job I am unable to turn up then..

CiDeRmAn · 25-05-2013 4:31pm

So, the Beers is confirmed for this Friday, yes?
Gonna try to make this one, will have to get babysitter.....

Atavan-Halen · 25-05-2013 5:02pm

Who's hosting?

I would babysit for you but I'd be at the beers.

O1s1n is hosting, showing off the Pony

Is this some kind of innuendo? Can we not go one night without seeing o1s1n's bits?

CiDeRmAn · 25-05-2013 5:41pm

Apparently not.
He does say, however, that despite his pony being small, it is impressive and is worth quite a bit more than more typical ones.
But apparently, once it's awakened it appeals to mostly men.... who sit in front of it and fiddle with it's knob..... so make of that what you will.

Either way, O1s1n is pretty pleased with it, and his better half thought it was "cool".

Go figure....

Do things differently in Clontarf apparently....

My Pony may be small, but it has a 25 inch monitor. Isn't that what matters? All that monitor inch girth? :pac:

Yep, this Friday the 31st if folks are available. Ciderman - be there or be square. If you can't find a babysitter, bring the young lad along!

Retr0gamer · 26-05-2013 12:53am

I hear o1s1n has yet to experience the CDi. That will change come friday.

Looks like I can't go...
Unless Retr0 promises to leave that thing at home!

Tell you what, I can put drops of drain cleaner in his eyes,that'll have much the same experience of playing a CDi...

Steve X2 · 26-05-2013 10:54am

The best thing about the CDi is "Burn:Cycle". And i don't mean the game itself(it's poo), i mean the green case

Retr0gamer · 26-05-2013 11:54am

Atavan-Halen · 26-05-2013 2:20pm

I have a cd in an orange case like that. Dance hits '98 or something.

johnny_ultimate · 26-05-2013 2:54pm

I was feeling extravagant one day in Tokyo so opted for a four-disc Chrono Trigger soundtrack. Came in a nifty neon-orange slipcase:

CiDeRmAn · 26-05-2013 4:34pm

I have a Bill Hicks cd in a nice greenish the cd case. That's kind of nice, plus there's jokes about Jebus, Buddha and Satan's cock, which is nice

CiDeRmAn · 27-05-2013 4:30pm

Can we agree that if Retr0 whips his CDi out we got to beat him about the head with it?

Myrddin · 27-05-2013 4:33pm

Fairly sure that should be a given really

CiDeRmAn · 27-05-2013 8:26pm

He's going to bring it anyways...
It's Sera I feel sorry for....

So, what sort of crowd is going?

I'm going to have one next month maybe, include BBQ, give EnterNow plenty of notice so's there no excuses.
Also, let Pdbhp's parole officer know, so mayhap he'll get out of stir in time for it!

DinoRex · 27-05-2013 9:52pm

I should be good to go.

Did someone say 'Super Scope'?

So far we have -

Ciderdude
Retr0
Sera
Dinorex
Atavan
Achilles
Sparks43
Alpahaeagle (maybe)

Will Mr. Ultimate be attending? (I vaguely remember him saying he was I think?) Or is there an obscure black and white silent Japanese film on in the Lighthouse Friday evening?

The more the merrier anyway.

MrVestek · 28-05-2013 10:58am

Actually put me down as a maybe, might be heading off for the weekend with herself for the long weekend, nothing has been booked yet.
