What's that? You're bringing me back a copy of Super Aleste? Good man, will fix you up when you're home

I'm happy to see a discussion on Japanese culture and the more idiosyncratic elements and themes being brought to light but if you could pop the discussion into its own thread, it might be best.
If there's an interest in a proper discussion I'm happy to see it in the forum, but I'd rather a facetious discussion be avoided on the topic.
If that's ok with everyone.

Re Beers, no Atavan is quite a blow, meaning others will have to shoulder his twerking duties.
Volunteers will be appointed according to seniority and audition.

When's the beers, is it the 30th?

I may have a family do that night, hopefully not! Will see.

Sparks43

And to bring it back on topic

Have to work that night

Bloody job getting in the way of fun

Only seeing this now as the thread had moved onto another page.

Fair enough as it is off topic... but as you can see I feel rather strongly about these things.

Shure stall it over with me like.

MrVestek

I just found out that I'm getting a separate performance related bonus and it's quite significant.

I hope it isn't taxed to balls because if it's not then a trip to Japan might actually be on the cards for me! :-D

DinoRex

You're missing Knavecon so? :c raging for you
It's up to Retr0 so if he's free I'll be there.

Is there two GameCube BB adapters out there?
I fancy some 8 player Mario Kart!

Doge

Is your place accessible by bus cidonaman?

If you could pm me your address it would be great, and I'll see if I can make it.

CiDeRmAn

No real bus service here, but there should he a lift or two out of town.
I'm afraid I'll be working the following day so I can't offer a bed to anyone.

I will be heading out, will sort out things during the week. If you can make it out to Clonshaugh on the 27 you're good for a lift.

Yep. All that needs to be provided are some controllers and preferably 2 copies the same region of the game. Oh and what ever crap we did with the spare router.

I think you lads need to invest in cars

But think of all the games you can get for the price of a car!

If it's your car not many games!
Possibly a few unboxed copies of Fifa for the MD.

Must be a response to the car joke, for a moment I thought the rule of Enternow was in full effect.

I'm sorry Retr0, you have as lovely a car as I've ever seen in Balbriggan

That's pretty much where the name came from since it's a 'vintage' Clio.

The Clio not considered retro yet no?

Now, did we discuss a theme to this Beers?
Or is it running too late?

The roaring 20's.

The prohibition era, don't think it would suit you of all people.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure!
But I'm saving my Earthbound tee for that night

Why don't we just do a general cosplay theme so people can wear what they want?

That would add a bit of variety.

Well I meant a general dress up theme, not necessarily cosplay!

Only if you whip your banjo out for us!

That sounds so wrong.

If you come along I'd say we'll get a record turn out, even Myrddin will want to go!

You'll need more than a lift to get him to a beers...

May I suggest a cattle prod?

A van with people in hotline Miami masks to abduct him?
