    Sorry to hear that, hope you recover quickly.
    Are you up in the big smoke or at home?
    Can I convince Retr0 to make an appearance anyways?
    I hope I do too Lol.
    I'm at home in Limo. I'm sure he'll go himself anyway.

    Well I think Sera will be happy she didn't come up from Limerick. I've some wedding bull**** to attend tonight so can't make it. Sorry but it totally slipped my mind.

    You missed strip fighter. A street fighter clone with ladies that suddenly disrobe.

    Thanks to Ciderman for hosting, Atavan for the lift and PC Engine Batman for being a darn good citizen and cleaning the heck out of those vandalised paintings.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Thanks to everyone for coming and eating my food and sitting on stuff.
    Thanks to Dino for proving that Superman doesn't have the monopoly on awful game iterations.
    And thanks for the TG16 shenanigans, must buy a 6 button controller asap, butcher the sh1te stick for the plug.
    And thanks for no one bringing a CDi, or Burn Cycle or any of the Zelda games, it was a relief to all!

    Thanks for hosting Cidona. thanks for the lift Atavan.I've a new found love for all things Batman, he's a good citizen especially helping out the struggling art community by restoring thier paintings and removing that awful graffiti.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,244 ✭✭✭MrVestek


    Hey guys sorry I couldn't make. Also Avatan sorry for not getting back to you (although I did tweet you back about it).

    I was busy drinking cocktails with River Song when you were heading out to this.

    I saw you once or twice from Afar Ciderman (and your kid's headcrab costume was awesome) at Comic Con on the Saturday but by the time I got to where you were to say hi you had disappeared.

    Was that you at the top of the line for the Red Dwarf and Ian McNeice panels in the stetson?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Never went near that stuff.
    I was only there to act as a cash machine for my wife and son and to meet Simon Bisley, which I did and got my stuff signed.
    Which was really really nice.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,734 ✭✭✭J_E


    I'd love to make the next one! I've been lurking on this forum a bit and think I should probably post more, lovely little community going on here :)


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 51,887 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    As long as you don't love the cd-I you'll be fine. There's a lot of racism against Cdi lovers here.

    Not true.
    It's not racist to wish to nail you all, upside down, to a wall through your feet.
    Seems like a measured, proportional response to me!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,063 ✭✭✭Doge


    Going to make a special effort to make the next one too. Thankfully no more birthday parties to clash with for another year!

    Really must get up to another one myself!


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Any sign of the next one?

    I'm happy to try again.

    Maybe towards the end of June / early July.

    Retr0 is after moving to Sligo this week, he might be able to come back to Dublin for the weekend though, we'll see closer to the time. Fingers and toes crossed, I miss ye gaiz <3


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Quite a commute from Limerick to Sligo!
    Still, what is a little distance compared to true love!

    I'm already fretting about the travelling, bus up there stops in Galway for 2 hours, I guess I could hang around with Richie for awhile lol


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 29,752 CMod ✭✭✭✭johnny_ultimate


    Two hours in Galway is more than enough time to grab a delicious, delicious McDonaghs - pretty much the only traditional fish 'n' chips I'll still eat on this isle of ours. So very, very tasty.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    So, a Beers then?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,019 ✭✭✭Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

    I've a lot going on in July but might be able to host in August if Bray isn't a bridge too far. (Maybe we'll see some of the lesser spotted Wickla' heads turning up :D)


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Yeah, I forgot you've defected back to the South Side... bunch of lousers, in really nice slacks

    I'm not getting sand in me crack for anyone!*





    *That's sand in and gaps in the casings of my 3DS and PS Vita, of course**



    **As opposed to sand in or about the butt cheeks.....

    Any room for a newbie at any of these whatcha-ma-call-its? ;)


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    There is room for everyone, as long as your sole topic of conversation isn't a certain digging game where you collect diamonds and avoid... Boulders, by Dashing... Repton I think it's called...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,695 ✭✭✭DinoRex


    I'm happy to try hosting again.

    Outside of this weekend I'm fairly free. So it all depends on when suits the most people.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,019 ✭✭✭Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy


    Fridays are out for me, it's just too awks

    That's great, this weekend is mental but the following Saturday night would be perfect.
    That'd be the 5th of July by my reckoning.

    So 5th good for everyone? Should I start cleaning? I think the balloons are still up from the Halloween one.

    He can get his backside back from Sligo for this, or it'll be a short sharp visit from the smack fairy!
