Drunken tournaments in the Thomas House Saturday September 10th

Doctor DooM

Can I make a suggestion? I said something similar on your FB page.

I ran a couple of nights for boards where I defaulted to a DJ (simply because my mac was hooked up to the sound system to record) and it became a bit of a tradition for me to play the nerdier things in my iTunes folder. by the third year people were coming simply to hear the type of stuff you'd literally hear nowhere else when out.

I don't think it'd be a good idea to do it all night, but I think slipping the odd Street Fighter/ final fantasy victory fanfare/ wrestling theme etc might be a v good idea.

Also, marvel 3 would be v good as it's so visually appealing even if you don't know what's going on.

Yeah Carpo Marvel vs Capcom 3 is mental and brings hype everytime.

Even if u dont have a clue whats going on it's fun to watch.

Seconded, been bitching that there is no such place in this country for years. Theres a seriously untapped market there imo.

Speed Boat

This is on saturday lads.

I'm definitely going to go anyway. Who's still up for it?

May well pop in to this.Sounds like a winning setup.
A few months ago i was toying with renting arcade machines to pubs and did a good bit of research with various publicans
It's a win win situation for pubs and punters alike

Looking for excuses to buy more?

Yeah,and if they made you money..all the better.
It's just Beer+drunks+cabinets = trouble.
Plexi under control panel with small holes for wires only is the answer.


Bannantyne your money is as good as mine

Doctor DooM

Lads we should totally do this before the Street Fighter tournament.

Facebook page Dan cant access because hes lame wrote:

Tomorrow at 10:30pm - Sunday at 2:30am

I wouldn't object to heading in earlier if there'll be decent attendance from the scene.

Doctor DooM

I'll be there dave, I count for 3 people on my own.

Orim

I would like to point out that I could access it but getting round the proxy is too much of a pain. Otherwise thanks.

I probably won't be in earlier. Have to try and make it somewhere else first.

Doctor DooM

I can be in town about 8.30-9. Wanna meet at XGC? It's a little bit of a walk from there.

Jun_DP101

Anyone want to random select money match?? xD

So, is this still gonna be just MK, SF and WWE tonight? No chance of MvC3?

Doctor DooM

I should be there about 9 for those asking.

It was epic. It was the equivalent of turtling in wrassling. The Iron Sheik would be proud of how much of a heel he was with that win.

Was nice to meet some of you guys! Hope you had a good time.

Had a great night, music and games were good, was hugely disappointed with the lack of Guile theme though! :P

chopperbyrne

It was great craic.

Vanilla SF IV is so amazing.

Pity the arcade cab has broken parts. If both sticks and all the buttons worked okay, we'd have been on it all night.

The Hound

Get Kiki in to sort the Cab out. Stick some ST and 3s on it or whatever.

Great time anyway.

Can't believe I forgot about this, for some reason I thought it was this up coming weekend. Bollocks.


What was it like?

Hey im the owner of the Thomas House pub. Just to clarify that the arcade machine isnt actually broken. Its an original arcade machine with a 150+ in one Neo Geo board. Neo Geo boards only support 4 buttons on all games, but the cab is a six button.
We are expanding our arcade cab range in the coming months and hope to get a dedicated SF3 machine installed at somestage.
For the moment the Neo Geo machine is 100% working, but as said, Neo Geo format only supports 4 buttons. Set to light punch/kick and heavy punch/kick. Medium wasnt supported by the NG format!
For those of you coming to the pub. Hold down the player one button and the first red button on player one side to enter the main menu. There you find every KOF and Samurai Showdown games amongst 150 other games like Metal Slug etc. Thanks!!

Doctor DooM

Dude, no offence, but we know our fighting game hardware, the happ stick on the left is definitely broken, not the buttons, down and to the left is not actuating. You should really get someone to take a look at it as I know I would have spent a rake of money on it myself except for I physically couldn't play on it. Also, I am pretty sure it's not an original Neo Geo Board, in case someone sold it to you saying that- and we are well aware as to the button layout on SNK fighting games ;P
