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

I'll be out if I can figure a way of getting there and back!

Atavan-Halen

I can give lifts from the dundrum area. In work until 7 so would be at about 8-ish.

CiDeRmAn

I'll get the wrecking ball set up

If you were to give a lift back would it be back to Dundrum by any chance?

Is it white pants dress code or clothes optional?

Yeah back to dundrum or general southside area.

I'm around but it's on Sunday, if Retro isn't going, my friend is driving up that day Hooray! I'll keep an eye out

Myself and Shannon are interested in going to this too.

If we do decide to go we should meet up at some point!

Because it's you clothes optional but, for globs sake, think of the children!

Hmm
Is this a person or the river?

Note to self: bring waders...

CiDeRmAn

Could we get Myrddin and STG.Otaku along?
Famous for not showing, they owe it to us to turn up at last!

Doge

Would love to go this but will most likely be celebrating my 30th that night.

Unfortunately some people cant make it to my birthday this weekend, would love to have done three great weekends in a row.

Myrddin

I can confirm Myrddin will not be in attendance as per usual

You never told me it was your birthday!

Ciderman: Shannon is my soon to be lady wife.

Would Monkstown be too much of a stretch?

johnny_ultimate

I would love to go as I haven't been to one in a while, but might be going to see films at the Japanese Film Festival that night. Will let ye know closer to the time.

CiDeRmAn

I can stick on Children who hear voices, Akira or Howls Moving Castle if it'll help.

I mentioned it at least 10 times over the weekend, everytime you were talking to the young folk about old age!

"Whats your username again?" :P

Sorry who are you?

CiDeRmAn

Now now, no alzheimers jokes, some of us are closer to senility than others.
Arguably some of us are already in our senescence already
Never mind Retr0gamer, I am a retro gamer!

Should be good to go for the 12th.

Have something special lined up to make people play.

Just got a notification that it arrived at Parcel Motel earlier. This should be good!

CiDeRmAn

Blues Clues?

Star Lord

Oh Dino, you're such a tease!

Mega Man Anniversary Collection for the PS2 arrived today, and lovely it is too.
It seems to be a fairly accurate reproduction of the Megaman series from the first to the eighth installment.
I'm tempted to pick up the Megaman X Collection for the PS2 as well, and the Zero Collection for the DS.

CiDeRmAn

I knew the day would come when Dino would post a picture of his packet online, but I feel more underwhelmed than I expected, sadly.
Thought it would be bigger to be honest....

It's not unfortunately. There's some headscratchingly bizarre cuts. Some of the intro and endings to some of the games have been cut and they commited the blasphemy of reversing the controls from the NES original with no option to remap controls.

Ohh this is on at the same time as MCM Comic Con.

There's going to be a retro arcade section at this Con apparently.

This could turn out to be an epic weekend. Anybody else here going to that? You get to meet The Cat and female Holly while there.

Could be good for a laugh for the weekend.

I've never seen one before, no-one has but I'm guessing it's a white hole.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. A black hole
sucks time and matter out of the universe: a white hole returns it.

Retr0gamer

So, that thing's spewing time

....back into the universe? Precisely. That's why we're experiencing these curious time phenomena on board.

Okay, so it's decided then. We consult Holly.

Curse of the gamer formerly known as EnterNow strikes again.
How many more will fall before the 12th?

EnterNever could have been more apt...

CiDeRmAn

So, can I get an idea who is in, like Raiden DX, and who is out, like Army Men 3D.

Atavan-Halen

I'm in there like swimwear.

alpahaeagle

Would love to go but wife is going away for the weekend.....


See you at the next one....

It's actually killing me that this is on the same night I celebrate my 30th!

Almost wish i hadnt made plans now, seems like a perfect weekend to head to my first beers.

Retr0gamer

I should be able to make it.

What's this "should" nonsense!
Get your backside down here!
The rest of you can come along as well.

Retr0gamer

Well the should is if I haven't forgotten some prewedding rubbish I have to attend for my brothers wedding.
