Ah here, you're picking on me? Ciderdude sees Achilles as a Frank'n'Furter, surely that warrants all the attention?

Nah man, just an excuse to post a funny Simpsons pic. I had no idea what Cidey was on about anyway. :pac:

Those cosplay pics are, em, interesting. The face on the security gaurd is priceless (assuming he's not in costume too!).

CiDeRmAn

Achilles had made reference to The Rocky Horror elsewhere, I was just referring to that.
And the fact that isn't there a cross dressing boss in Bare Knuckle?
Have no fear, I like the contents of such clothing with a quite a bit less penis.

CiDeRmAn

Don't think I'm going to make this one lads and lassies.
Something may change but, at this stage, seems unlikely

DinoRex

So who do we definitely have, then?

If you need directions then drop me a PM.

Retr0gamer

Me Sarah and maybe the CDi.

I'll allow that!

I also picked up a scary game this week that I'm not in any way familiar with.

CiDeRmAn

Should be getting along now, but may need to see Enders Game first..... PM me directions to the new Dino-cave will you?
What consoles do you have so I can find something to bring along?
Is there anything I have that you want, and nothing sexual, that's what Retr0 is for!

DinoRex

Actually have all my consoles on display in the living room in the new place.

My PS3 handles all the PS2 and PS1 games, have a Saturn, N64, Gamebcube, CD32... think my Dreamcast is still on the fritz though.

managed to grab some halloween goodies this evening as they were clearing the shelves in Tesco. (They didn't seem too happy)

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

I've my Luigi hat in the bag, couldn't do anything for Halloween, let me have my moment.

My box is absolutely crap, wasn't sure if I was going, spent my free time going to the hairdressers and babysitting.
I'll bring the mystery box game, maybe Trapt and Clocktower.

Retr0gamer

I'll need directions as well!

DinoRex

It's at the Hilton Hotel across from Tesco Clare Hall.

Atavan-Halen

Giz a pm with the directions please! I might be there, not sure yet.

pdbhp

No probs, not sure myself as in the middle of a huge stocktake and don't know if I'm gonna be allowed leave today

DinoRex

Okay. PMed you all directions...

pdbhp

Atavan-Halen

I'm going to have to give it a miss too. Just home after a Stressful day of sale, angry customers and IT issues.

True that

I would just like to state, for the record, that Retr0 can't draw for toffee

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

Many thanks for Dino having us over and even more thanks to Ciderdude for bringing us (thank Mrs Ciderdude for the treats).

Blue Stinger really gave me a headache.

Hope pdbhp can make the Christmas beers I missed out last time.
Surprised we'd no Sparks, I rushed to finish the first chapter in the new Phoenix Wright expecting him there.

Sparks43

Sorry I missed this but up to my neck atm

Dual destinies is amazing ,on second playthrough and its even better this time.

CiDeRmAn

Well, we can start looking forward to the Christmas Beers now!
Looks like it'll be a regular one though, don't think the cinema is going to work out
That said, I will be looking for folk to let me know the dates preferred early, so we can avoid the majority of Xmas work p1ssups.

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

please - not a Friday!

Any date suits me really.

Will I do the secret Santa again this year?

CiDeRmAn

Yeah, that was great fun last year

In honour of the great man I have spent the last hour in the company of Muchi Muchi Pork, Pink Sweets and Under Defeat.
It appears, however, that I still suck at these particular titles, lacking some jedi powers needed to play these without using infinite credits

Andrew76

Just spent an hour in the company of the man himself. Some amount of mint CIB jap games he has, retr0 would've creamed himself many times over. :pac: Also got to play Crisis Force on the Famicom, great little shooter with some amazing effects.

The new year. Too much going on to fit it in right now, but it is in progress and Wil Overton wil be doing the cover art again.

Can you be convinced to come along to the Beers?
It should be a blast,

CiDeRmAn

Can I get some suggestions about the best date for the Xmas Beers then?
I'm happy to host in my place, if people are fine with that.

Atavan-Halen

I have a depressingly empty social calendar over the next month or so, so anyitome suits me.

DinoRex

The 20th and 21st are out for me. But think I'm otherwise clear.

CiDeRmAn

I have a work doo to organise as well, but they should be able to work out, I'm thinking the first weekend in Dec, fri or sat, up to you.

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

Not Friday please, I won't be able to go it's way too much hassle.
Any dates suit me but it depends on what suits Retr0 too

CiDeRmAn

Righty ho, Dec 7th is the date for the Xmas beers, don't be a stranger, it'll be a blast.
No CDi allowed, no Spicegirls or Boyzone/Westlife titles either, failure to comply will result in a forced play through of Superman 64.

No mention of Britney's dance beat so I'll bring that. :P
