    It's pretty simple, Southsiders don't trust having Northsiders in their home :D

    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? :D

    Intend on heading alright, just always reluctant to make any definitive statements because of a certain darn rule!

    And don't worry, it's next weekend Im ****ing off to London for a binge of obscure Japanese cinema, unless the Lighthouse announce a stealth Imamura season or something ;)

    At least this time we don't have to worry about the local wild life that roams the streets up by CiDeRmAn's place:

    Hey, can't the local mutant population go for an evening stroll, in the countryside, in the rain, apparently also in black and white.....

    Also, heed the local rules

    Keep your head, arms and other assorted body parts inside the vehicle at all times.

    Please don't feed the locals (with other people's head, arms and assorted body parts)

    That looks disturbingly like the last few minutes of my drive to chez cider over christmas!
    I'll have to give this one a miss as I'll be down in Galway for the weekend.
    Hopefully make the next one though!

    Folks still interested in mine tomorrow evening? Or is it far too sunny to be sitting in doors playing videogames?

    Edit - I've a big back garden if you all want to sit in the sun and drink cans instead :pac:


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


    Historically we haven't been very good at BBQs... but Mrs. CiDeRmAn supplied some lovely ribs last time.

    Well, a couple of disposable ones and a pack or two of stuff from Iceland and we're laughing.
    Unfortunately I have spent all my money on Chronotrigger!
    Sure, we'll make do BBQ flavoured crisps instead!

    Guinness flavoured crisps, BBQ flavoured crisps - all we need now is videogame flavoured crisps and we're set!

    Actually remember these? That's as close as you get to videogame crisps :pac:

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


    I'm still up for it.

    I tried to host a BBQ once. We all ended up getting drunk and threw everything under the grill.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,019 ✭✭✭Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy


    Ugh I dunno if I want anymore sun I'm already burned >n<

    It's nothing fancy just biscuits but haven't made anything in ages so did a practice run, usually just wing it and do it the night before but wasn't busy this week.

    One time we thought we'd wait for everyone to arrive before we put the food on.

    Queue us drinking on empty stomachs, getting hammered and waking up to a fridge full of food.

    We had so much food left over that we'd to ask everyone to bring some home the next day :(

    I have a half day tomorrow. Maybe I'll have time to make a Space Invader cake again.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 29,752 CMod ✭✭✭✭johnny_ultimate


    No one has reminded me of any previous social commitment so looks like I'll be along! What time is kick off?

    I was going to go the Asteroid 1998 QE2 watching beers, but those asteroid spotters are really pretentious and racist.

    Oh yeah, never sorted a time! I think most folk turned up to the last one at 9pm? So I'll say 8pm but probably 9pm in reality :D


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 29,752 CMod ✭✭✭✭johnny_ultimate


    Excellent, should be able to sneak in a cinema trip between end of work and beers so ;)


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

    I can collect your sorry ass later, if that's a help, heck, you'll have a qualified Clinical Nurse Manager with you, how much better can it get?
    Aside from not having a buggered up foot that is....

    On a brighter note, I am not that kinda nurse, the broken foot kind, more the stop trying to kill me and eat your breakfast kinda nurse....

    Yeah, if you've something to seal in the "freshness" that would be cool. My buyers like the product as "fresh" as possible. :)

    So basically a hazmat suit is a must for future beers?


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


    They're not going to use them on a Tokyo metro as a weapon of mass destruction?
    Is some nefarious lab there going to clone Atavan from his dried love custard?
    Is this a prelude to some pervert abducting Atavan and putting him to work as a sex slave in her personal dungeon? (actually he would quite like that one)

    Or, are they really for Steve himself, we will know when he needs a second pair...

    Nah, no terrorist plot. Just a Japanese man looking to rub himself down with the undies :) so nothing weird or anything :)


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


    Want me to bring anything tonight (apart from my used undergarments)?

    I'll be bringing the MegaCD and sonic CD and a few other bits probably. O1s1n i presume you have a set of megadrive 1 cables? I'll also be returning the arcade stick and road avenger to their respective owners!

    If anyone has a 3DS with Fire Emblem bring it along for street passing shenanigans that aren't on a street at all (but Nintendo don't need to know that)!


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


    Anyone caught with a CDi or games for same will be made play Legend of the Dragoon all night.... You know who you are!

    I have
    NRG drinks (for me)
    Bags of Nachos (for all)
    Haribos (for all, but for me if I get to them first)
    Also, will bring both 3DS and Vita, as Vita gets jealous when 3DS gets out and it doesn't...

    Any other things required, aside from an absence of body odour?


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


    Any extra controllers for anything I should bring?


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