    Ahh ****e. Was supposed to be heading over to the UK to see herself that weekend but she's now my ex...

    So...

    Have arranged a trip to Cardiff to see some mates and do Doctor Who related stuff instead.

    Pity because you're only down the road from me too.

    Woohoo!
    I wonder if the neighbour will have her door open invitingly once again?

    I might be a seat or two for a couple of brave north side souls who want to venture south of the border

    My friend might come, he's not on boards though.

    If you have GameCube & dreamcast controllers that'd be great.

    Now.
    Just looking at the Beers suggestion of a while ago and seeing about Retrogaming on the big big screen, in the cinema in Ashbourne.
    They have a deal on that you pay €100 and get an hour of the PS3/360 on the movie screen.
    I'm thinking though that the Retron5 might be compatible, assuming it's just a HDMI port they have, and we could play 4 player Super bomberman or similar.

    If we move ahead with it we'll see what we'll play and how long per player.

    Also I'll be away from the last week in July and back on the second week of August, so might throw a Beers towards the end of August.

    Plenty of time to get numbers and game suggestions in.

    Let me know what you think and if we get the numbers we could get a deal on 3 hours before moving the party back to mine afterwards.

    Playing on a retron 5 is against my religious beliefs.

    Well, I'm an atheist, which is why I'm cool with it.
    And, VC aside, its the only way to play Megaman 2 on a movie screen.

    RandomSelect.ie are doing a night where they book out upstairs in that place on Liffey street.

    Mostly fighting games, but would anyone be interested in setting up a retro corner?
