    I'm currently dying with the flu but will let you know, fingers crossed it's gone in the next couple of days (seem to be at the tail end of it). Last thing I want to be is patient zero and infect everyone!

    It was great to see modern streaming technology has reached the level that magical horse fantasies can finally be realised, just breathtaking

    Not sure how folks feel about an A&R Beers in the current climate

    Certainly, it was early December when we had the last one and it seems like one should be due...

    But then...

    So, not sure what people feel about having one, maybe it would be best to wait until later in the Spring, perhaps early Summer, when it might have reached it's natural hiatus.

    Let me know here, what your thoughts are

    I'd be worried about you fermentedapplejuicedude.

    The coronavirus negatively affects the elderly the most.

    Probably for the best to hold off for awhile.
    Maybe we can play something online like on Switch sometime? I dunno which ones definitely have online though off the top of my head

    So,
    With, hopefully, the end in sight, I was thinking about planning for a mid-summer Beers in mine, perhaps July.
    We could do most of it in the back garden, projectors, BBQ, Switches, plenty of space for social distancing and plenty of room for some big screen gaming as well.
    It's only two months away but I would imagine things might be a little better, with restrictions less... restricting by then, and it would be a nice treat to see everyone again and share some good times and good company.

    Let me know here what you might think and what games/systems might be the best options, thinking of being projected onto the back of my house!

    No "I'm Daisy" shenanigans this time!

    I'm looking forward to it already
    Is it any system?
    What were we playing the last time with the mages? That was fun.
    Or Saturn Bomberman? Did we ever actually set that up

    Yeah, that would be a great idea, Micro Mages blown up as big as possible, with the NES and a four-player adapter, would be a blast.
    As for Saturn Bombnerman, no, I don't think we ever did, I don't think we had the multi-taps for it.
