    Mentioned this to The Mrs last night and she's really interested in coming.

    Room for one more?

    Definitely agree with TFGD, need moar multiplayer going!

    Now that they've patched Super Bomberman R into being way more playable, think we could probably get some mini network games going?

    I'll have my 8bitdo so that's an extra set of controls, plus whatever Dinorex brings.

    I have that 'You Don't Know Jack' game for Switch.

    It's super Americanised, but there's a bunch of game modes I wasn't able to play because I didn't have enough people.

    You only really use the switch for display on the television. Everything else is done off a phone or tablet device of your own.

    Sounds great!

    If anyone needs directions let me know, I'll send the eircode and that'll bring you to the door!

    I've invited the odd balls in the Ninty forum but no dice....
    Bunch of weirdos... I feel sorry for the mod!

    I may actually be heading to a different sesh this Saturday instead. Sorry Cider... next time though definitely!

    Would love to host one of these myself some day though, would people be up for that?

    I'll ask MsVestek to bake a few muffins for us or something. :P

    Hi everybody hope all is well.

    Myself and little ms sparks will be making an appearance on Saturday and will be great to get out after what can only be described as the worst couple of months of our lives.

    We are not where we used to be and are staying up in Santry now if anyone has room for two give us a shout and can try and meet along the way :)

    In other news I haven't played Boulder dash in 2 months :(

    Great! Look forwarding to seeing ye both. I hope everything is okay, ye're tough out though.
    How do you function without Boulderdash! I don't understand.

    Boulder Dash will be in the cart slot of the XE and ready to rock.
    I can drop you back.
    I've that Raspberry Pi in a TV for you as well, all set up, ready to use, with controller.
    It was surplus here and I'm happy to see you home with it.

    I'll tell you what, I'll pick you and little Ms Sparks up.
    I'll drop you a PM.
    Anyone else need a lift from that locale?
    Around Santry?
    Room for one more if needed.

    We're still without a car so can't offer any lifts.

    Getting a lift with Eoin who has been along to the meet ups before. But his new car hasn't much room in the back.

    Should be along a little after 8 as I have somewhere secret to go to beforehand. (You're in the know, right?)

    Thank you all so much for a wonderful night. Little ms sparks is in bed shattered but so happy


    As you know it's a tough time for the Sparks clan but tonight is one big help just to get out and relax and be who we are. A family that loves games and loves each other. And Mrs sparks getting her peace and quiet is always a good thing :)

    Safe home to all and we will see you soon.

    Thanks to everyone that came along, regardless of the ungodly hour you turned up!
    It was probably the least Arcade and Retro A&R Beers ever!
    But the Switch laughs were fantastic, from the Arms Test Punch to watching Starlord pushing through Dragons Trap, from the really rather clever quiz show with added smart phones to the multiplayer genius of Astro Duel Deluxe. And that's still not mentioning Mario Kart 8 DX!
    Oh, and there was a bit of Thumper and Polybius too.

    So, thanks again for coming over and not wrecking the place!

    In work since 08:30...

    I'm really going to have to plan these things so I'm off the next day.

    Rule of Ciderman: Ciderman will be working the following day after a Beers

    I thought the time Dino had the VR was probably the least retro retro beers, I can't remember exactly what we played, we played the Night Cry aka "definitely not Clocktower" I think.

    Jeez, change your username to Sillyman. I assumed you'd the next day off. I'm struggling to get up as it is but that's me in general lol.

    I know, but it was so great to see you all, and I like to maximise the opportunity for everyone to make it.
    Over the years I've worked every other Sunday, so the notion of working the day after a late night/early morning is very familiar to me!
    My gamesroom only got a brief use by one or two, and then back to darkness until the Summers end.
    As Dino keeps Halloween his own, I might have another meet up in mine in late August, so around 12 weeks time.
    Unless another venue arises!
    Or a night out in Token!
    Who knows?!?
