    It's a bit of a long drive after work back from Sligo, especially on a bank holiday.

    Aww, poor tired Retr0...

    I'm working on the Saturday!
    Doesn't anyone care?

    Actually Sunday might suit me too... I'm working Sunday and off Monday so it'd suit me.

    Disco nap before you come over and you'll be flying it then.
    Is this the first time you've gone to someone else's beers and not had to work next day?

    I think it is, remarkable how they line up like this for the first time!
    Exuse my ignorance though, what's a Disco Nap?

    Or, forgo the disco nap and take some disco biscuits instead?

    Just ask at reception for the creepy looking fella with the eclectic taste in hats....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,242 ✭✭✭MrVestek


    Is this closed solely to participants of the forum or can I bring a friend along?


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


    Should be fine. Don't think we're in danger of filling the place.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    Want me to bring anything tonight?


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


    Any cool horror stuff you might have.

    Going to do all the tiresome setting things up for a livestream beforehand as well. So if we run into problems and need anything else I'm be sure to be back here asking for other things to be brought along.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn

    Bloody bank holidays

    But If the date for the next one is decided early enough then I will get the time off for next time

    Enjoy guys

    Anytime I guess... we're struggling trying to get the PS2 to stream...

    Anyone have a backwards compatible PS3? Mine is still on the blink.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    I suppose I can be there for 7.30 ish

    Thanks for a great night!
    I now have to get rid of any teddy bears in the house that resemble any of Freddies monsters, as I have now developed Arctophobia!


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 51,866 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Thanks for a great night again. I have to find out what happens in the true ending of bug island now. I've a sugar hangover now :(

    I just need to figure out RGB scart streaming from my laptop. I'm sure SOMETHING I have lying around could do it!


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 51,866 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Thanks for trying your best to try getting that working, it was wrecking my head as well!

    I think I took your Xbox cable home with me by accident dinorex. We can have a hostage exchange soon.

    I looked up videos of Freddie's to see the Fox move, scary as **** he actually runs through the halls!
    Thanks for hosting! Sorry I mixed up the ROR boxes derp, they're almost identical anyway.
    Thanks too to Doom for all the hard work streaming, it was great fun though.

  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    So, Christmas Beers?
    My place as usual?
    Or other ideas?
    Dates to suit folk?
    I know it's early but it will be the first week in Dec, if it's to be here, and that's 4 to 5 weeks away!

    We'd might need to do secret santie earlier too if the beers is on in yours, it's very handy not to have to post.

    I'm working the 6th and 7th of December, but that's ok, I'll be available to get the place spick and span before hand.

    Secret Santa though, I'm getting excited already!
    I'll have to get the decorations up that morning!

    Maybe it's better off, you'll be away soon anyway and we'll avoid the December post problems


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,242 ✭✭✭MrVestek

    The secret santa was a good laugh last year too and saving on postage would be a good idea alright!

    We'll say the 5th so, I'll say it might be a tad chilly for 8 player Mario Kart Double Dash so we'll knock that on the head until summer!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,599 ✭✭✭BGOllie
