    I firmly believe we'll be able to defeat Black Mask this time around.

    If it's on a Friday I won't be able to go home beforehand which means I can't bring the CDi or Legend of Dragoon.

    Have you ever tried playing Legend of Dragoon in the CDi?

    Wasn't that the technique they used to summon Pinhead in one of the Hellraiser films?

    I think that's when you read all the text in Escape from Bug Island on a Halloween night.
    By the way, Pinhead says Hi.

    I'll try get towards you as close as I can if no one is passing through town. It's a long way in and out but if you're collecting others it wouldn't be so bad.
    It'll be me and Retr0 anyway to count in.

    If you can make it out my way we can give you a lift or Raheny Dart station if the buses are too confusing.

    Dart is grand since I'm close to Pearse and Tara St and I'm mire used to getting them, last time I went on Dublin bus was last August and before that probably the Steampunk night! Lol

    So, everyone ready for Christmas cheer this evening?
    So, I'll get the playlist ready, stick the new Annie film on the telly and prepare to defeat Black Mask?
    On second thoughts, the wooden voice acting, lack of respect to the franchise and disappointing many, I think we might skip Annie...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,695 ✭✭✭DinoRex


    We also have to return to Bug Island at some point!

    Will probably be setting out at around 8. Sera, are you still on board?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 51,820 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer

    Hey Lads sorry I couldn't make it but I decided to go to Birmingham for the weekend to see a very special lady that I've been chatting to since the Star Trek convention I was at two months ago.

    Anyway suffice it to say I left the country a single man and came back after having been assimilated by a liberated Borg drone.

    :P

    You know, that's the kind of romantic talk that no woman can resist!


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 3,184 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dr Bob


    Sorry I couldnt make it..I went from ' I'm going and having beers' to 'I'm going but driving' to' I'm driving but after I get the kids to bed 'to' I've fallen asleep in the kids room after they fell asleep.'Been knocked out for the weekend with a bad cold /man flu so I probably would have infected you all.
    Cidey , if you still want to do a deal for the PS2 network card thing let me know and I'll try and meet up somewhere, no worries if not though.
    :)
