Fall 2015 DC/MD/VA Shmupmeet (Sept 26, 2015)

[Kiken]

It's already August and the end of Summer is rapidly approaching, so what dates work for everyone? Some time in September, perhaps?

Let me know.

Since the last meet, I've gained a new laptop (which is much more powerful than my old computer) and a bunch of stuff off Steam (Asterbreed, Jamestown, Crimson Clover World Ignition). Aside from that, no additional pickups since last time.

12th falls during MAGClassic and I'm out of town the weekend prior also. 19th or 26th work for me right now.

12th falls during MAGClassic and I'm out of town the weekend prior also. 19th or 26th work for me right now.

The 19th or the 26th sound like good dates to knock it down to.

Do either of those dates work for everyone else?

[zakk]

I'll be attending Red Bull Battlegrounds at the Fillmore on the 19th, so I vote for the 26th

[Kiken]

With that, we'll shoot for the 26th. Sound good to everyone?

Also, since some of the local SB crew expressed interest in attending, I'll cross post there.

[Gwyrgyn Blood]

Yeah that sounds fine to me as far as I know. Hard to plan out that far right now.

Plenty of new places to eat around the area but no idea what will be plausible for a Saturday.

[chempop]

Is this for Sept or August? I PMed you Kiken thinking it was august because I’ll be down in Baltimore then... if it’s sept I can’t make it, oops.

[Minzoku]

Yeah, September... August is kinda quickly vanishing =p

[Gwyrgyn Blood]

Any of yall have (or know anyone who has) a Leo Bodnar lag tester @1080p? Looking to replace my current HDTV but the model I'm looking at looks like it has a panel lottery, and no idea if that has an effect on the input lag or not.

I may also have my old TV to sell if that happens, it's a Visio about 4 years old, 55", very nice for movies but only the VGA port has reasonable lag (about 30ms), maybe looking to get about $300 for it.

[StarCreator]

I happen to be currently borrowing a LB tester, but it's the 720p model.

[Gwyrgyn Blood]

Gonna have it for long? Might help to test 720p too I suppose.

[StarCreator]

Not sure actually. I can come up this weekend or sometime during the week if you want to use it right away.

[Gwyrgyn Blood]

I just bought and received a 1080p model for myself, figure I will get some mileage out of it and maybe they will let me swap it for a 4k model in the future anyway. People are welcome to borrow it too if they need to test any displays.

I wouldn't mind testing my new TV at 720p but it's not a real priority so don't worry about it.

I do have my old TV to sell now if anyone wants something for just VGA gaming (great for 360 in particular, you need a really good VGA cord to avoid ghosting though).

[Kiken]

See you guys on Saturday!

[Minzoku]

Deli Swirls will be in attendance!

[Kiken]

To those who made it, thanks for stopping by!

[HYPYRYL]

Hello! I am a developer in the Richmond, VA area. Sorry I missed this before - I was showing our game at EGX on the 26th! If you guys plan on meeting up again, let me know and I will make sure to provide a copy of my game Redshift Blueshift if you're interested! I'd love to try to make it to an event as well

[SNK-NEO-GEO]

I will try to attend the next meeting or we can meet at MagFest on February. I have my room reserved at the Gayloard Hotel and my better half and my son are ready:) Hell yeah:)

[StarCreator]

There's no way I'm missing MAGFest. See you there!

[Gwyrgyn Blood]

Jack I found a small bag full of wingnuts and bolts. Are you missing a few on the cab? They probably belong to it :I

[StarCreator]

Possible, the cab had a few wingnuts that were slightly the wrong size and I ended up just taking them out because they were getting in the way. Also wanted to figure out if I could get wingnuts to hold the monitor bezel in place since those screws were the wrong size too .-.
