    Yeah it's looking increasingly likely I will be down, and as a nice pressie for Sai I intend to bring my gear for recording/commentary.

    That means you lot need to practice, you're going on youtube :D

    Good shtuff. I was hoping that gear would be in tow :) Cheers man :D

    Speaking of practice... *coughCork Casuals - Wednesday 16th Maycough*

    How many people from Dublin are going, and via what means of transport?

    I knew I meant to post stuff here:

    To those planning on heading from Dublin, your best best is with an Aircoach bus. The journey is 3 hours and leaves you about 10 minutes from the venue. I think it costs about €25 for a return ticket.

    Alternatively you can get a train, but it still takes 3 hours, leaves you about 20-30 minutes from the venue and costs €40ish.

    Please note that if you do get an Aircoach, it will leave you on St. Patrick's Quay (across the river from where I have the bus station marked on this map):

    I'm not sure the aircoach is viable for me with my big silver box- I like the train as I need to keep an eye on it :(

    I'd reckon if you mentioned it to the bus driver how valuable it is they'd let you bring it on board. They usually ask me if I want to bring my monitor onto the bus with me when I go to Dublin events.
    Aircoaches are rarely very full in the morning so there should be plenty of room to bring it on with you, though I can't guarantee empty seats on the return trip.

    I'll be on it with you :) Booking tonight.

    I'm going to have to get a taxi to the venue if someone can't give me a lift, feel free to hop in with me.

    Ah you're coming? Awesome.

    Special request for the Cork people: I am using this trip to test out some new equipment (I'm bringing the old stuff too, which is making the box twice as heavy as usual, but hey these things have to be done) but if people could perhaps make sure to bring the following it'd make things a lot easier for me (READ: Things doom forgot to bring)

    1) a HDMI cable (and while we're at it, a HDMI capable Xbox)

    2) a 4 gang power supply I can use for myself

    3) Potentially I will need to get online very, very briefly. If someone has a smart phone I can use as a wireless hub for an extremely brief time (and knows how to set that up), I'd be grateful.

    4) My stick is borked, I will occasionally need to take a loaner of other people's if thats ok. Don't worry, I pretty much only do sonic booms anyway, can't do much harm to one :)

    For Doom or anyone else on the same train I've booked seat C05.

    Booking/moving seats on a train is obvious very flexible, but I wanted to grab a seat at the end of a carriage since there are usable electric sockets there. :D

    I can cover all that, and there'll probably be a few sticks lying around if mine is otherwise occupied.

    Having said that, if anyone can bring an extra monitor or Xbox or multi-tap power lead that'd be lovely. It sounds like we'll have a few extra heads than normal and an additional setup would be nice :D

    We're booked in there till 1800, so we need to start packing up around the 1730/40 mark. You'd be able to make the 1830 train if you wanted.

    If not, my apartment is 5 minutes from the venue so you can drop the DooM Case back there if you don't want to lug it around for the two hours.

    It's called the DooMbox, it got labelled that up in Belfast :D

    Might people want to get dinner or something after? The best trips are the ones where I don't just talk to people while beasting them :D

    EDIT: Just realised... if someone could bring a second HDMI cable, that'd be just peachy :)

    We'll be arriving at 10.45 but I don't mind waiting. Case is just too heavy to be moved manually.

    I was reminded at casuals the other day that I totally forgot to upload last month's Tempest footage, so here she is:

    http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7DF6865E5D2AACDA

    I recorded less than usual because of trying to sort out the raffle and whatnot so there's only six games :/

    ..plus like an hour of Gouke/Shokashi casuals that were accidentally recorded that I didn't upload. You guys should be careful of what you're gossiping about when there's a camera set up behind you :pac:

    Should be over to you around 11:15 if traffic is kind. If you need a life back to the station after the Tournament then as well that's cool.

    Er, don't suppose you'd have a powered USB hub too by any chance?


    Just something I want to try out, no biggy if not.

    EDIT: If anoyone has a spare webcam- one of mine refuses to work with xsplit, a spare'd be handy to test with too.

    Please do, I'm having trouble getting 2 webcams working at the same time in xsplit, I suspect my cheap as chips usb daisy chaining dongle- thingy but another webcam can let me confirm thats the problem and not the webcam itself.

    Not certain tbh, if you post a link to the exact type of thing you want I'll have a poke around if I get into town early tomorrow.
