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

Where is it on?

Does Britney Dance Beat work with a mat?
I might "obtain" some DDR titles for the occasion, probably have to play them on the big screen downstairs, so as no one plummets through the gamesroom floor!

I'm not sure, I'll have a look. I'll bring Dancing Stage Euromix. The ultimate DDR game!

I don't own a dance mat, as I am almost 42, male and straight.
Might buy one anyway, for the occasion you understand....
Actually, two would be even better, anyone got one?

Atavan-Halen

Mine gave up the ghost a long time ago

CiDeRmAn

Couldn't take the 5am punishment I'd say.
In from the club and you have an hour of "Oops I did it again" til you come down.
The mat never stood a chance

Atavan-Halen

It did get a fair amount of abuse tbh. And constantly getting shouted for "Jumping around like a herd of elephants" from downstairs :P

Worth doing though .I think I've a mat somewhere anyways

CiDeRmAn

So, the date approacheth, this Saturday evening, bring your dancing shoes as we have DDR in effect, on the PS1!
If anyone has a second dance mat we can maximise the shame!
If anybody needs directions let me know, all are welcome, so you infrequents and lurkers, come on out and have a blast!

NO CDi permitted!
You have been warned!!!

Retr0gamer

But the CDi has a christmas themed platformer!

It looks better than Mario Galaxy!

I'll be heading with Sera. I'll try and dig out my dance mat from storage/the attic.

I could give you a lift if nobody else is.

MrVestek

Yeah I'd need a lift in order to be able to attend too. Anybody heading out from the Southside... Dun Laoghaire / Monkstown area?

Petrol money will be given obviously!

You can give me a jockey back? It's not that far.

MrVestek

It is for somebody without their own transport and or has to rely on public transport for the night. :P

The Last Bandit

It sounds verrrrrrrry wrong.

I can't make this one (prior piss up planned) so my secret Santa recipient will have to wait for the postman

CiDeRmAn

The tree is up
The Christmas playlist finalised
The egg nog is.... nogged
The dog has had antlers stapled to it's skull
The dance mat has been ironed.....

CosmicSmash

I should be able to make it out if it's on Saturday, I don't mind a few passengers if anybody needs a lift.

I will gladly warm a seat in your car

johnny_ultimate

Have to wait and see if I can make it myself, would love to be there but can only say TBC at the moment. If so, I will also require lift scabbing, and would likely have to be back in da city before three!

As will I! :-)

If you want to get yourself down to Oisins place I could pick you up from there. I will reserve the last two seats for Sparks and his daughter if needed.

Grand job i will give you a buzz tomorrow to sort out time .

Off into town with my daughter to sort out secret santa presents.

So to whoever we have if you like what you get then brilliant but if you dont its her fault

CiDeRmAn

I'm thinking of kicking things off at half 7 or 8pm, is that ok?
Mrs Claus ( aka Mrs Ciderman) is currently Christmassing up the place, should be a laugh.
Thinking of rigging the PS with the Dance mat up to the projector, for maximum embarrasment!

MrVestek

Not sure if I mentioned it MonkeyKube but yes I can make it out to oisin's in order to avail of the lift, I'll take a taxi back home from oisin's when you're dropping him off. :-)

Cheers mate!

Atavan-Halen

I'm only finished work at 8 on Saturday so I'll be there around 9 or shortly after.

I'm not sure, I would rather we didn't get wrapped up something for an age, like New Leaf last time, but if people want it, no problem

Atavan-Halen

I'll just bring a selection of games of varying quality.

Animal crossing is mandatory tonight so don't forget your 3ds please

MrVestek

Hey all, anything anybody wants me to bring with me? The only fun thing that I can really think of would be Typing Of The Dead on Sega Dreamcast perhaps? I have a keyboard that I can bring along if somebody else has an extra?

Sparks43

Can't get in touch with monkeykube

On my way home now so try in another bit
