Hello folks,
Christmas is fast approaching, and I'm thinking ahead to the annual Beers to celebrate gaming, good and lousy food we only eat once a year, the chance to get socks and underwear, sacrifice children/animals to ensure the coming of Spring, you know, the traditional stuff.
So, with that in mind, how does the 7th of December sound?
That Saturday night.

Please, chime in here if you are interested or can think of a better date/location.

It would be, as always, great to see all of you.

I'll be there if one of you will...

Yes, we are still a go for the 7th.
All welcome, except those lousy DC licences that keep turning up, like that godsawful Batman game on the GC!

But part of A&R beers is the awful games!

Sparks43 · 25-11-2019 3:37am

Still good for the 7th as it’s just as well it’s on that date because nearly every other day at the start of the month is a no go for me.

Off to UK on the 13th for a Mario Kart event and then in January there will be some of the best players in the world (and me

) attending a tournament in Paris.

And then possibly the American championship in March and then Building up to the World Championship in August.

2020 will be my year

I have 3 bottles of good whiskey ... just sayin' ... and I'll chip in for pizza

also, and this is the kicker ... I'll bring my fishing rod controller and sega bass fishing

No sponsorship atm but the UK trip will be cheap and I’ll get a decent price on flights for Paris. It’s a group booking for accommodation so becomes really cheap.

The American tournament will be a stretch but you never know.

Last years world championship cost me less than 360 euro with flights included and beer/food is so cheap over there. Also the fact that I can throw a few quid away each week makes it all doable:)

Sparks is bringing Mario Kart and a snes as well, I dunno why...

CiDeRmAn · 26-11-2019 12:22pm

I'm pretty sure I have those here!
As well as a Snes Mini.
Tons of ways to play the game.

But... is Super Mario Kart the new Boulder Dash.
Are we going to be driven mad with Super Mario Kart talk!!

Was going to bring the Super Famicom as it’s the version I’m playing atm. (NTSC season runs up until April)

However except for when there’s an event on I shall keep the SMK chat to a minimum

On the American event flights are the major cost there big issue is that it’s on around Patrick’s Day. Accommodation is free and the event in total is 30 dollars for the two days.

CiDeRmAn · 26-11-2019 2:15pm

My Snes is region free, so your Jpn SMK should run just fine at full speed on it.

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!

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...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnLaGSXJeXg

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

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

CiDeRmAn · 03-05-2020 2:41pm

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

I’d be down for a beers all going well!

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.

o1s1n · 04-05-2020 7:31pm

Put me down for this too, be great to have something to look forward to!

CosmicSmash · 04-05-2020 7:42pm

I'll be along too if this goes ahead. We'll all need it after all this is over.

Retr0gamer · 04-05-2020 9:39pm

These keep falling at bad times for me so hopefully can make this one.
