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

CiDeRmAn

8pm seems to be the time to get here at....

PANTS ARE MANDATORY AND MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES !

It's something that shouldn't have to be said but I feel there are those that might need to be reminded!

Retr0gamer

But wearing pants while playing Gal Gun surely defeats the purpose?

CiDeRmAn

No one needs to embarrass themselves playing Galgun without wearing pants,
perhaps that's how it's done in Balbriggan, perhaps that's how Galgun is supposed to be played,
One handed, with a packet of tissues in easy reach.

You and Atavan are going to have a ball, or perhaps two, this evening with his Saville-ware DS game to complement your game.

DinoRex

I picked up an awesome bit of fashion this evening that I shall be wearing.

CiDeRmAn

Well, are you going to keep us in suspense until you walk in?
Is Jean rolling her eyes up to heaven at your fashionista ways?
Why haven't you appeared in one of those social columns where they interrogate the people about their €2,500 pair of jeans they're wearing up Grafton Street?

DinoRex

I'll keep it as a surprise to go along with Spark's one.

Star Lord

I got an awesome retro (Non-game related) tshirt in the post yesterday, and it'll be my attire tonight

CiDeRmAn

And you're Micro is suitably clean and tidy, looking forward to it's new owner!

Pro tip: Never go clothes shoping after an argument where you've been called 'boring'

I'm picturing you now dressed like Timmy Mallet on a particularly cheery day...

CiDeRmAn

Perhaps a clown dressed by a colourblind transvestite, in the dark?

Otherwise known as a Wednesday at Dino's house!

Dr Bob

Atavan-Halen

I'll bring westlife on the ps1 and a multitap for 4 player action.

johnny_ultimate

I struggle to recall the last time, if ever, a good game was the centrepiece of a beers.

Retr0gamer

Burn:Cycle?

Sparks43

Retr0gamer

If anyone has a PS Move it might be good to play Gal Gun the way it wsa meant to be played but with trousers

Yep,
Both the PS and PS2 can run all region games.
You didn't import that infernal game did you?

Westlife? No I didn't!

DinoRex

How are the roads looking out there? Pretty flooded here.

CiDeRmAn

Fine, just heading back from Ashbourne after a run to buy dip and cider, lashing rain but no flood, Mrs Ciderman drove from The Naul, no issues there either.

Just to show just how retro I am, I'm cruising home, listening to S'Express, on cassette, a cassette I bought in 1991!
Now, that was a good year!

Dr Bob

right , on my way now.hopefully I can remember how to get to chez cider!

CosmicSmash

Don't worry about the floods, you're up in attic after all. Hope everybody has a great night and Atavan keeps his underpants on.

Jack burton

Have fun guyz and galz!

Star Lord

Thanks kindly for having us over Ciderman!
I'd a great evening!

CiDeRmAn

Big thanks to everyone who came this evening, apparently it was due to Gal*gun, thanks to everyone who attended the Beers in mine as well!

Retr0gamer

I believe everyone at Cidermans will be purchasing Gal*Gun from playasia now. I think you all agree it was fantastic.

Thanks for having us over ciderdude.

PS, shane knows too much about westlife.

Don't you mean Bum knows way too much about Westlife?

And who is this "Shane" person anyway, there is only Atavan, Atavan Halen (aka Bum)!

Atavan-Halen

Don't be hatin' because you don't know cians birthday.

Thanks again for hosting mr ciderman! Definitely going to track down sega rally on the ps2 now.

The Last Bandit

Thanks for having us over Ciderman, enjoyable night and good to put faces to the names. The less said about a particular niche PS3 game the better

CiDeRmAn

Now that the NSA has ready access to my PS3 hdd I don't expect to be allowed into the States anytime soon.
Also I think none of you will be permitted to work in childcare any time soon.

Dr Bob

thanks for having us cidey!

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

Thanks for much for having us over again Cidey and for the old coins too !
I'm raging I spent too long on Animal Crossing and missed out on Nights, at least GalGun was made up for it kinda.
Still laughing at Westlife, it was worst than I thought it would be.

Sh1te, you never played Nights on the PS2!
Retr0 did and he seemed to like it although the controller is a bit weird!
There's always a next time!

MrVestek

Sorry I couldn't make it guys. I brought the missus to a fancy restaurant and proposed to her (she said yes!).

So as much as I love social gaming events this took precedence! :-)
