Arcade and Retro forum beers! (AKA the night of the scandalously drunk retro geeks)

CiDeRmAn · 20-03-2023 03:16PM

Hi folks, I've tried this a few times, so let us try again...

Anyone interested in a meet-up?

It can be anything and anywhere, pub, club, my house, someone elses place, whatever suits.

Just throwing it out here.

Let me know

o1s1n · 20-03-2023 03:56PM

Yeah it's a shame the last few were no runners, I think Covid put a lot of meet ups in general on hold and a lot of them are finding it hard to get going again.

I'd love to meet up sometime if anyone's free in April. Even if just for a pint!

Retr0gamer · 20-03-2023 05:02PM

Wouldn't mind a pint and a legend of dragoon rant.

Mr.Saturn · 20-03-2023 06:30PM

Yeah, would be game ball for a pint and a few games of something.

o1s1n · 21-03-2023 01:27PM

Could always book a table in Token some evening just to get the ball rolling again?

CiDeRmAn · 21-03-2023 01:31PM

Lovely, we can sit there and bitch about the machines that aren't working properly!

Retr0gamer · 21-03-2023 01:47PM

And legend of dragoon

I can bring a bag of buttons/sticks, a degaussing wand and a HV probe, we can make an evening out of fixing everything. 😂

"Night of the Scandalously Drunk Retro Geeks who Discharge CRT's while Tanked on Exotic Coloured Beverages, and Who Possibly Live to Tell the Tale"

Name for the next thread...

I recommend staying away from Mario Kart then. The thing is barely maintained. The cab on the left always has calibration issues and you can barely steer the thing.

...but yeah the food in Token is amazing so I'd be up for us just booking a table and heading in.

I'm free most of April although would gravitate towards the next two weeks to make sure that I have the spare cash.

Inviere · 25-03-2023 09:07AM

Is it just a coincidence that the term post-covid beers abbreviates to PCB?

o1s1n · 26-03-2023 10:22PM

How are folks set for potentially Saturday the 15th of April?

Mr.Saturn · 26-03-2023 10:38PM

Sound by me, be good to put faces to names after all these years.

Works for me.

CiDeRmAn · 27-03-2023 07:41PM

Sounds great, I'll start practicing nothing and that way I'll be as terrible as I have always been

Probably. Just to laugh at broken machines.

o1s1n · 28-03-2023 12:31PM

Excellent! looks like we are well on the way to achieving a quorum 😀

CiDeRmAn · 30-03-2023 11:53AM

Here is a question for Token regulars, whoever you are.

Would it be feasible for me to bring my Vectrex?

I really want to show off the likes of Rocks'n Saucers and the brand new Vyrzon, but I wonder if the bar would allow it, and have somewhere to plug it in!

Might want to check with them on their Facebook page first.

Saturdays are usually pretty busy so I doubt it tbh.

o1s1n · 11-04-2023 10:13AM

I'm still on for a few pints and games this Saturday if people are still on for a bit of a meetup?

Retr0gamer · 11-04-2023 10:37AM

Won't be able to make it, have friends calling over that were meant to call over last weekend so have to entertain them.

The Last Bandit · 11-04-2023 03:13PM

No can do unfortunately, heading home to Cork (like) for the weekend

Mr.Saturn · 11-04-2023 09:29PM

Try again early May?

o1s1n · 12-04-2023 08:55AM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120467255#Comment_120467255

Have people over the first two weekends of May but free the 13th if that might suit folks better?

Mr.Saturn · 12-04-2023 05:31PM

Suits me, I'll get me arse in gear and book a table in advance this time.

Retr0gamer · 13-04-2023 01:02AM

Yeah I should be ok with me

Retr0gamer · 14-04-2023 01:55PM

Any chance we could get Sparks to go? If it's in token he won't be able to bring the kids but would be good to see him again. He's still plugging away at Mario Kart records.

CiDeRmAn · 30-05-2023 06:33AM

Any word on if a meet-up is still on the cards?

It has been ages!

o1s1n · 30-05-2023 09:03AM

I'm still up for it, only thing is my June is absolutely packed with stuff!

First Saturday I have free is the 24th if that's not too far out.

MrVestek · 21-06-2023 02:53PM

My June is fairly packed too but I could squeeze you all in at some point.
