Bumpy

So who is going on Wednesday?

Dr Bob

Righto , should be there , however some ( 90's school era gamers) mates of mine are fielding a team so I'm going to be with them.
As my mate points out its all about the beers (and answering the occasional question) so its all good

Retr0gamer

I'll have to see if I can make it. It depends if I can afford it since I've no money at all.

DinoRex

I'll be there anyway. Have already registered. Only seeing this thread now.

Retr0gamer

Well I 've to pull out, have stuff in college rearranged because of the bank holiday weekend and have to meet with the industry partner at 8pm.

Probably wont make it either I'm afraid. Just started a new job with long hours so won't be able to hang around in town late tomorrow night. Sorry about that, guess the rule of ENow applies even to table quizzes

Sparks43

Real shame we couldnt get a good turnout for this

Well if you're up for heading in then I will. Already booked a ticket.

CiDeRmAn

So, as long as the questions are about Boulder Dash and games that feature top hats and/or dinosaurs you guys should have it in the bag!

We came 7th somehow...

We even managed to name 6 of the 7 terrible Resident Evil movies.

Sparks43

Leading nearly all the way we finish 7th?

We were close to 1st imho at the end if we were 2nd then fair enough

But 7th not a chance

We did get lots of spotprizes btw:D

even worse was how many uwe boll movies I knew..
I think we were bumped down for our own safety, after coming away with most of the spot prizes we'd have never got out alive if we won

CiDeRmAn

So, tell us more about these spot prizes!
Are they game related?

It's the old, old story. Droid meets droid. Droid becomes chameleon.
Droid loses chameleon, chameleon turns into blob, droid gets blob back
again, blob meets blob, blob goes off with blob, and droid loses blob,
chameleon and droid. How many times have we seen that story?
