Beers?

CiDeRmAn

So, the next Beers, I have asked before and I know that there is a talk of one to organise this Retr0-Con that is being proposed.

In addition to that, is there a proper Beers incoming?

Might be able to throw one here in the next month or so, but people seemed to be more interested in having one on the Southside of the city, madness I know but there you have it.

We haven't had a get together since before Jebus day, so what's the plan?

DinoRex

As long as it's after I'm back from Hollyweird then all is good.

Hmm, police escorts and bodyguards cost a lot of money so I can't go to Limerick.

And correct me if I am wrong but don't you need a passport for visiting South Dublin?

CiDeRmAn

They normally check the basics, like credit rating, pantry status...

djsim101

Yep, Limerick has my vote also

Would love to meet up with some of ye, get steamed and pro-claim my love for my C64

I'm only in college in limerick though. So couldn't be my place as its in the middle of nowhere near lough derg.

I've only ever been stabbed in Dublin, so I'm cool with Limerick.

Dale Parish

You won't get stabbed as long as your knife is bigger.

I clicked on this thread and saw 2 pages and the first post by cider so I sort of assumed that things would be fairly organised by page 2.....I was wrong.......and thats why I love ye all!


But I could make a spin to Limerick, 2 hours away for me i think

Retr0gamer

It's sorted then. Beers in Sera's bedroom!I think we could fit 4 people in if we can squeeze.

CiDeRmAn

I might be able to arrange one by the end of March, early April, I just thought the Southsiders wanted a crack at it....
Given the distance many have to travel to get to my place

Just remember the law, [Rant] those who will always bail, those who say they'll go then suddenly have that reflexologist appointment they just can't miss...
And of those who turn up, we have to hide the hard liquor and the Boulder Dash cart! So, keep it in mind that I have to work my butt off cleaning and buying in assorted snacks and dips to keep you ungrateful wretches happy!
[/Rant]

Andrew76

No idea why but the above reminded me of this:

What, we've got here is, failure, to communicate.
Some men, you just can't reach...

Sparks isn't really that Boulder Dash obsessive irl is he? atavan on the other hand, his antics are legend round these parts. :pac:

You haven't tried to eat pizza, standing in my kitchen while Sparks talks, non-stop while eating pizza about Boulder Dash and only Boulder Dash...

atavan on the other hand, his antics are legend round these parts. :pac:

They are, aren't they, must hide the paint stripper....

You mean there was hard liquor AND paint stripper in your gaff all those times?!?! Why was I not informed? :mad: I could whip up a tasty little cocktail with those ingredients!

martineatworld

If ye want, I could probably hold them (don't post here that often but was at one of Cidermans gatherings). Sure why not invite people off the internet into your home!

I live with two lads, one who goes home for the weekend, other wouldn't mind, so house would be free, my house is on the southside, just off the m50, it's also on the green luas line. So it's nice and accessible!

Sounds good, but here are the catches:

I've exams at the end of April so would like to do it early April, late March if that could suit people. Study and all that jazz.
I've one small (22inch) CRT tv in the house, that's it tv wise!
Most of my retro stuff is in my parents house down the country.
Most of my retro stuff is ps1/dc/gc era as opposed to truly retro. Not the best for party games, great if you want to play ps2 jrpgs though?!
Flat is relatively small, but there would be seating for 10ish (maybe more).


So I could do a run for some of my stuff but if multiple gaming points were wanted someone would have to bring a tv.

Any opinions!?

You must not have met him in real life. Even in the podcasts he is constantly name dropping it.

CiDeRmAn

I reckon the best way to describe him is as a Boulder Dash Evangelist.
He probably moonlights as a door to door preacher, calling around to strangers houses when they are having their tea and asking if he can come in and play a couple of levels of Boulder Dash with them...

If they happen to prefer Dig Dug and Mr.Driller he draws pentacles around there houses in a mixture of salt and oxen blood, just to keep the devil worshippers inside...

CiDeRmAn

Now guys and gals, and guys with gals hair, and non-human life forms like hipsters, looks like an A&R Beers is imminent, possibly in the next 2 to 3 weeks, in my place, again
So, who is up for it??

pdbhp

I'd be up for that, should be able to make it since I haven't been getting much gaming in lately

o1s1n

Would love to go myself, haven't been to a beers in an eternity.

johnny_ultimate

I'd be 'game': after next weekend, I finally return to something resembling normality.

Or is there no shotgun these days...... god I miss the 80's

CiDeRmAn

You could be driving a Fiat Multipla, then you get two shotguns.... of course your car makes you look like a twat...

djsim101

Would love to meet ye guys face to face at some stage but cant see myself making it up to Dublin soon.

Pity now , as I have an weird image of each of ye (long hair, geeky looking)

Kinda like my friend here

Whereas the Micra makes you look awesome and a magnet for the ladies..:P

CiDeRmAn

And perfect for ramraiding Game stores,
just try to avoid the sit-in staff as the mighty nose of the Micra comes crashing through the window....

Actually, your roll of Game security tape is now either
a- Completely worthless
or
2- Worth a fortune to some imaginary security tape collector....

Retr0gamer

I'm well up for this. However I'm away the weekend of the 21st so make sure it's not on that weekend!

Atavan-Halen

I will no longer be driving a micra very shortly! I got a new car which hopefully should be all legit for the beers.

Ok, this will have to be after the weekend of the 21st, maybe the 28th, although I'll be on duty the next day...
Bugger!
Will get back to y'all with a concrete date.
No matter which one I go for someone will cry off....
