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

DinoRex

So we're back to 21st looking the best.

Yes,
No,
Depends.

Lonely Nights and Videogames on demand?
or
The Love of a Good Woman and only ever appreciating games on the shelf as you pass by with the vacuum cleaner or are dusting those same shelves....

Unless you are O1s1n or Retr0... lucky b@stards....

That said, Sera could have her hands full in years to come, if Retr0 keeps raiding her wardrobe...

That sounds too familiar already...

21st is crap for me, 22nd would have been great for me but not for Retr0 so I'm out by default.

If he's gonna take my clothes, I'm raiding his attic for games :P
he can have the normal wardrobe, not my Lolita/Cosplay one! He's not kawaii enough </3

Atavan can probably wear the Lolita stuff...

Absolutely. I'll be staying over in waveform's place Friday and possibly Sunday night (depending on whether I get that Monday off of work or not) and then a hotel with the gf on the Saturday (she's coming down for the night for drinks etc).

So anyway myself and waveform will be around eachother a fair bit. We should probably all exchange phone numbers and / or add eachother on Facebook to stay in touch properly.

Isn't this the secret A&R swingers club?

We game hard, and we play hard!

And if I'm not mistaken isn't this the real reason we throw in a bit of cosplay and roleplay too?

Wait a minute, you mean Mr. Vestek was lying to me this whole time? :eek:

Theres a newly opened Cex on the Grand Parade if you want browse some PS2 games and stuff.

Theres a retro games shop on the top of North Main street called Games Mania, thats meant to be a bit of a ripoff, but worth killing some time browsing.

I know the one in NMS, one fella in there from Limerick, gave me a small bit of money off for having that in common I guess lol think I got Kula World in there.
When I used to live there I was always in NMS because all the charity shops are there.

Never knew you lived in Cork! You poor poor Girl! :P

CiDeRmAn

Hey, is this going ahead?
What should I be bringing?
Anything in particular this Friday?

DinoRex

Yep. Can I get final head count for Friday night?

PM me if you need directions.

CiDeRmAn> Do you have the multitap for the TurboGrafx 16? I have one ordered but it hasn't arrived yet.

CiDeRmAn

Nope, no multitap
I do have an Everdrive but I think you have one too.
Just let me know of any theme or what you or others are likely to want to play and I'll bring what I can.

MrVestek

I won't be able to make it this Friday due to lack of fundage. It's all Kaizukucon's fault!

Retr0gamer

I should be there.

CiDeRmAn

So, is it to be Retr0, Me and the good Mr Dino?
Cosy!
I'll bring Twister!

Atavan-Halen

Is this tonight?

CiDeRmAn

Supposed to be.

Atavan-Halen

Ah, I won't be making it so. Only finished work at 9 so it'd be too late.

CiDeRmAn

Too late for what?

Too late to be travelling over! Besides, I wouldn't want the be a 4th wheel

DinoRex

We'll press ahead anyway. It's a good excuse to make me clean the apartment and not play Dark Souls 2 all day.

Jessibelle will be there too and I've dropped Doom a message to see if he can make it.

CiDeRmAn

Any signs of Sparks?

Sparks43

Bit of work on today but will do my best to drop up later.

Probably wont get up till half 9 or so.

Have you been out to the new place yet?

CiDeRmAn

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

So did it go ahead? Didn't see any thanks posts

CiDeRmAn

No, it was the ultimate case of The Curse of EnterNow, I was just after getting into the car, in my driveway, when it was abandoned.
Much gnashing of teeth and weeping was done.
Feck that DinoRex anyway, I always preferred Monkeyfudge myself...

DinoRex

On the plus side I did get my appartment cleaned.

MrVestek

Awh so there was no Arcade and Retro love in?

Ohh well... more fun for us to be had at Kaizokucon!

Right, I'm going to have another crack at throwing one of these.
April 11th or 25th?
Come on folks, we haven't got together since the start of December!
It'll be 5 months by early April!
You'll all be all growed up!

Fridays arn't great for me, I could get the train if only be Friday suited majority. The 12th would be better but depends on Retr0 too, I know Experience Japan is on that Sunday and want to go to that.
25th is too close to me going to London so defo not then.

CiDeRmAn

Ok, we can look at the 12th, I'll speak to She Who Must Be Obeyed and let you know

CiDeRmAn

Ok
So we'll try this again on the Saturday 12th of April.
Who thinks they'll make it?

Atavan-Halen

Sounds good to me

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

Fingers crossed Retro can do that
