I'll consult with She Who Must Be Obeyed, then confirm the 16th.

I have consulted with Mrs Ciderman and the 16th of August is a go, if people are interested.
I have no Arcade though, damn you Urban!

I'd need to scab a lift off of someone but otherwise I'm game!

I dont have much in the way of retro but have some arcade!
It'd have to be before the summer ends tho as my house is embarrassingly cold during the winter:(

I'd definitely be up for that:pac:

I don't think it assumed we are just the majority is from Dublin, I'm in Limerick myself, still make it up to Dublin for beers and Waveform is from Cork.

I'm going to head up on the 16th, if you can get your arse over to the northside you're good for a lift. Still leaves three empty seats in the car. Any sign of Sparks? I haven't heard anybody say Boulderdash in a while.:p

Is there a date for the Naas beers?

I was tempted to join in there but I'm in work at the minute.

I almost did a Google search for 'gay gif'.

....I think it's best that I decided against it.

CiDeRmAn

Hmm, steady on boys and girls.

I'm anxious that the two proposed Beers don't clash or mess with each other.
Can Urban tell me when he proposes to have his.
Then we can make sure they are both well attended

Sorry no date..
II'm away for the week and gotta sort some stuff out first

CiDeRmAn

Well I'll go ahead with a Beers on the 16th of August, we can look at numbers later. if anyone suggests a theme we can have a proper laugh!
Kerbdog is lending me a really great of projector so we could possibly have big screen outdoor retrogaming

MEME THEME!

MrVestek

Doctor Who theme!

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

Maid theme

Or Alpacas

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

Moe theme, everyone loves Moe

Myrddin

Hipster theme

DinoRex

Can the theme be terrible Superman games that aren't Superman 64? Which is essentially every Superman game ever made.

Where's this beers going to be on? I might be "working" in Carlow that day so I could hang around a bit and head up

I know, he's gone to hell since he moved to the southside.

A lot of unplanned 'real life' stuff going on at the moment I'm afraid which has been distracting me from these parts

It's actually quite jarring to log on for the first time in a good while and see so many new posts! :eek:

Definitely still want to host one in the new place sometime in the near future.

Doge

Good to hear from you!

Big career path change going on with myself at the moment also.

I'm really looking forward to your beers in particular, with the arcade stuff going on, and wanted to meet up with you in particular for ages!

Probably click with you the most on here!

CiDeRmAn

Real life stuff can be rough alright, don't I know it.
Well hope you and yours are OK, and everything with your new home is working out.
Or has there been a Serf uprising and now you have to make your own poached eggs of a morning?

Retro was saying at the weekend the 16th is out for him, there's a festival on in Sligo.

Would that suit more folk?

So after an adverts seller giving me the cold shoulder with a Gameboy Advance SP,
and the high price of an AGS-101 I've decided to emulate the games on my phone using the awesome GBC.emu emulator for android for gameboy colour games.


So today I tried to unlock the Bootloader on my Moto G which is necessary for rooting so I can use a PS3 controller attached using that smart clip I just ordered.


Only to be told by the Motorola page that my device is not eligible for bootloader unlocking,a dreaded message quite a lot of Moto G users are getting even though most get the code fine for the same model.


I reckon the problem is to do with their system for giving out the code.


Man do I hate technology sometimes.

Buy a DS Lite with a borked top screen & do the GBA mod on it.

Doge

Ah ****e, i meant to post it in the general thread.

Thanks for the link to myrddin.

Managed to get my bootloader unlocked now, their server was actually down until 9pm even though it gave the "your device does not qualify" message.

Why it doesnt show a "server error" message is beyond me.

CiDeRmAn

Can I get an idea who is available for the 30th of August for a Beers in mine?
Thanks

Dr Bob

Ah I'm at a stag that night so I'm out..deffo want to do one in September though.

CosmicSmash

Should be around on the 30th.

o1s1n

I'd be up for that, haven't been out to Casa Del Cider in ages.

Star Lord

I think the 30th may just be good for me too

Atavan-Halen

I'm not 100% sure but I think the 30th is ok

Retr0gamer

30th should be ok for me.

CiDeRmAn

I will try to attend, just make sure you help Mrs Ciderman with the washing up....
