jonny5 meet - 1 last time, May 5th - WE PLAY!!

[Udderdude]

What's with the eye roll? Don't like free beer?

Hey I usually bring my own. I only accepted the PBR because I didn't want to hurt your feelings

Going to buy some PBR at the LCBO just to spite you ..

[shmuppyLove]

I think next time I should pick up some Schlitz

Beer commercials have come a long way ...

[jonny5]

Snubs his nose at PBR; has shown up with Laker before.

/smh

[shmuppyLove]

Hey I'm not objecting to cheap beer, but it should at least be good.

Actually I did some checking, and I don't think PBR is actually that cheap? The sixes are $20?

[Eaglet]

Sorry to barge in on your thread here guys, but speaking of beer:
I'll be heading over to Montreal this fall (probably a sortie in Toronto as well) for a visit since my GF does her Masters exchange term at HEC Montréal.
You guys know of any good places to go for good beer? Any local craft brews to check out?

No they aren't. 6 pack of small cans is like $10, and the king cans are like $2 a piece. And it's not that bad at all, especially after the first 6 I tend to consume in bulk, so buying fancy beers is usually pointless

It's comparable to Bavaria taste and price wise.

Hopefully the Toronto veterans can chime in here but I'd recommend the ultra-hipster place Barhop on King Street. They have some good and unusual beer there like La Vache Folle which is essentially Milk beer and they also have Peanut Butter Beer. It sounds horrible but they're actually pretty good Other than that, they have a few great ale's (like their bourbon ale) that are pretty good and various other high quality beers. There's also the distillery district. There's a lot of great micro-breweries here in Toronto and you can also get some good stuff at LCBO (kanadensarnas variant på systemet) like Steamwhistle.

I'll arrange a meet when you are here if jonny5 is unable to host. It'll be super-awezume to meet up and play arcade games again man!!!

Btw, har för mig att jag sa det tidiare men du kan ju lätt stanna över i vårt gästrum här om du känner för det.

Thanks for the recommendations!
We'll definitely make sure to check 'em out.

Meetup sounds totally awesome!
Do you guys have all of the good games (Garegga, Bratrider, Ketsui, Futari BL)? Could bring some otherwise.

Faaan vad schysst!
Funkar det med +1?
Get your ass on Skype btw! Måste fråga om lite programmerings- och KTH-skit. Håller på att lära mig C# i förberedande syfte.

[shmuppyLove]

Never been there, but heard good things:

I have Futari BL and DFK BL. jonny5 and brendz has a bunch of PCBs if I'm not mistaken - not sure if they have any of those games in particular though. I'm most likely gonna pick up Garegga soon. Really looking forward to watching you destroy that game!

Haha, aa borde vara chillnästornet. Vi har två stycken enkla bäddsoffor i gästrummet

LOL, aa sorry har slackat fett med det där Ska se om jag kan logga in snart. Vore nice å höra vilken linje du går och hur illa det blivit på pubb-rundorna Låter nice med C#. Det är ett trevligt språk även om jag inte är så förtjust i Microsoft. Det lär en också hur man ska tänka å så med OO i början. XNA är rätt schysst att utveckla spel i och .NET är inte helt fel för webb-utveckling.

[colour_thief]

I've sort of got the Korean version of Batrider.

[shmuppyLove]

I sold all my PCBs

[jonny5]

Jeebus - I haven't done a meet since June?

What you ladies saying next weekend? Saturday or Sunday work for anybody?

Following weekend is my Bday weekend so that's a write off.

[shmuppyLove]

This would be the 14th or 15th?

I'm down

[jonny5]

I though you was in Ottawa now?

Oh, and at least last time I turned it on, it appears the battery in my 4slot is dead so it dropped all our scores and settings. Will check tonight and see if it has held the settings since I reset them a week or so ago.

[shmuppyLove]

Still in Toronto

You deliberately wiped the scores so you could get on the boards again

[pestro87]

Niiice!!! That sucks about the scores...

Sunday 15th would work for me. 14th is valentines day so I need to spend some quality time with my Astro City

[jonny5]

See you on the 15th

[pestro87]

Awesome!!! Looking forward to it! Let me know if you guys want me to bring anything (PCBs/consoles/etc.).

[jonny5]

Bring da black labels

[Udderdude]

Well this is a pleasant surprise. Need to get out to this one for sure ..

I'll bring my 3DS ..

[jonny5]

You deliberately wiped the scores so you could get on the boards again

Ha, are you inferring I actually play games these days

Only scores I cared about were the Neo Driftout ones, and none of you scrubs can even touch me on that game. I had hoped to one day finally beat Drakon's 1st place time

There were also some nutty puzzle bobble scores from wizshaw's 1cc's

Brendz also had some decent shock troopers scores on there

I guess your NITD scores were ok too

[shmuppyLove]

I guess your NITD scores were ok too

Hardly ... it's a long way to 20M

[jonny5]

Oh didn't I tell you, I crushed those a while back...

Shame the battery died.

[jonny5]

So not too sure what happened to the 4 slot, fired it up last night and it still seems to be holding settings from a week or 2 ago, so doesn't seem like the battery is dead. Very strange!

[shmuppyLove]

Gives me an excuse to play NitD again anyway, I haven't played it in soooo long

Gotta fill up that score board again

[pestro87]

Many thanks for hosting! I had a great time like always!

I had no idea that Bowling of the Dead was such an awesome game! I'm definitely gonna play some of that in mame.

[shmuppyLove]

21M is the score to beat!

[jonny5]

What you guys saying in the coming weeks? Anybody down to hang and play some games?

[shmuppyLove]

I'm available this weekend, next weekend (7th-8th) I'm visiting Ottawa, and any time after that is good
