Good night, great finally meeting people. I need to get myself a Nomad, seems to attract an awful lot of attention on nights out. Also atavan-halen I promies by the next meet up I'll have some decent pokemon in the new gold and silver remakes
o1s1n: the panzer dragoon saga offer still stands if you want to avail.
By the way, did I mention Demon's Souls was good?

Yeah I have a vague recollection of them. From what I can remember the girl seemed very interested in the Nomad. Perhaps it was Ciderman in disguise, trying to steal it!Retr0gamer wrote: »Also atavan-halen I promies by the next meet up I'll have some decent pokemon in the new gold and silver remakes

Hurrah! And yes you did happen to mention it was good :P0 -

My head hurts and I only had two small bottles of beer and a small bit of wine. I really don't know how that works

Yeah man, you can't like games that much and not post. It's criminal! If you need a good starting point, making fun of Halo games usually goes down a treat... :pac:luas_dublin wrote: »Lot of drunk talk but I'll see if I can borrow the inlaws building for that gaming/trading night later in the year.Have to organize those podcasts as well!
If you can make that happen and I get to play Radiant Silvergun for the first time on a projector screen you shall be a king amongst men
Seriously though, sounds like a fantastic idea.Retr0gamer wrote: »o1s1n: the panzer dragoon saga offer still stands if you want to avail.
Most definitely! If you can think of something you'd like as a lend in return let me know. Even if it's just to ease your worries that you'll never seeen me againatavan-halen wrote: »From what I can remember the girl seemed very interested in the Nomad.

She was way too interested in Retr0 to be Ciderman. Unless of course he was trying to lure him back to his attic to strap him to a chair and force him to watch all Halo games being played from start to finish.
A fate worse than death!
Anyway, great meeting you all. 0 -

I think Ashley gave me the the best compliment I ever received. She said I was the most normal out of the lot of us. All my girlfriend managed today was to call me a 'game nerd'
Took me a while to get that rub rabbits thing but yeah, that was a bit surreal.
I don't need anything in return o1s1n, having more people getting to play the game is enough for me. Maybe if I get dumped I can take a lend of the Nomad to help me pick up girls.

Fecks sake! I was the only one not wearing a video game t-shirt... I was wearing corduroy for Christ's sake.. .can't get more normal that that.
Although she did seem pretty freaked out by how blind I am when she tried on my glasses.0 -

Yep, I know exactly what you mean. It was nice not to see people yawning and looking at their watch at the mention of old consoles
Even better was seeing four people huddled around a Nomad with a controller each in a packed pub in the middle of town. Oul Lizzardfudge even had a big arcade stick. Feckin' hilarious.luas_dublin wrote: »Also that 3 screen game :

! Just checked out some pictures of the cabinet. That's really cool. Although, keeping a single arcade monitor functioning well is a pain on it's own. Three must be a massive headache!0 -
