Question: Is it worth bringing my DS/PSP? Or do real men not play handhelds?
/quote]
Handhelds are loved by all real men, especially the DS. Not too long ago I joined some chaps from rllmukforum for an evening in local pub to play Bomberman on the DS, which was awesome. If anybody here is unafraid of looking like a total geek we could do the same, for some quality handheld carnage. Bomberman puts hairs on your chest.
The PSP is gay and playing on one causes massive loss of street cred and manliness, but we could try that too if you can think of any games worth playing on it.

Bomberman on DS is one of the worst bomberman games i have played (i have played most versions) the amount of nonsense items available but lack of serious items takes away alot of the skill elements to the game, and dont get me started on the 2 screen malarkey.
Snes bomberman 2 is the best one, and saturn bomberman is overrated.
i personally favour DS over psp but with psp's emulation capabilities its the machine i play the most. even though its not for psp games.
OK I will bring my DS, I can even get my hands on another copy of Bomberman if it will help. I agree with Masamune, Bomberman DS is not that great but I'd argue it's still certainly alot of fun in multiplayer, if just for a short while. I'd nominate Advance Wars but that can go on for ages...Portrait of Ruin for Vampire slaying speed runs? New Super Mario Bros?
PSP is pretty damn gay and there's nowt to play on it....except Everybody's Golf : The Greatest Golf Game of Ever. Official. I'd sell my PSP tomorrow if it wasn't for this gaming equivilent of crack cocaine.
Sorry didn't mean to de-rail the thread. I'm clearly going to watch Plasmo destroy Ketsui, but I thought as there will be loads of gamers there...
i most definitely wont destroy ketsui cause i havent wasted more than 2 credits in my whole life on it yet.
actually i dont really like it but its better than a crowd behind me expecting me to do something awesome in batrider...
Anyway, IMPORTANT NEWS: there is a bed available for two nights with fontaz (friday night) and fontaz+rjpageuk (saturday night). Unfortunately hinatafan had some problems and can't make it to the meet
I've already PMed KRGFN, but I got no answer at the moment (I still hope to receive one though).
So, if someone wants to join us for 3 days just let me now ASAP!

This is getting interesting. I don't listen to much dnb any more as the genre started going nowhere fast about 10 years ago, but I'd still be up for this. A strip club would be better though..... Sitting in a strip club and ignoring all the hot babes in favour of crushing a bunch of geeks at Bomberman DS would be a true moment to remember Also it would guarantee awesomeness for Dr_Ian's video.
I too agree Bomberman DS isn't as good as the best snes and pce versions, but it's much easier to get people together to play it on a DS, and if you choose the right stages it's almost as good as the better versions, also it supports DL play so only one card is required.
yeah, I am kind of confirmed, just went to order my plane tickets on ryanair, but I think it went wrong, waiting till tomorrow to see if I get a confirmation mail or reordering it otherwise.

HS: great, Kati-sama will bring her DS with Mario Kart too, and I think rjpageuk is kind of a universal champion of the game
And given that we are in the same hotel...
I don't think Mario Kart DS is anywhere near as good as Bomberman, in fact I think the battle mode is a bit rubbish, though the racing is ok I suppose.
I've just booked a room at the Langland Hotel which is about 300 yards from the Casino and looks quite nice, also it has free Wi-Fi. Barryhouse is about 20% cheaper but I was slightly put off by the description of their single rooms - "shower and toilet just outside the door" Do they mean the back door of the hotel? I have visions in my head of slipping outside into the cold night air to crap in the back garden of Barryhouse, and it doesn't sound like my kind of place.

I guessed you were a bit depressed, but still, you're on an Exclusive Caribbean Island. That can't be too bad..
btw, Mills - Keep the Fire Shark PCB for a couple more weeks, pls.
I'd like to come but i'm working that weekend. Anyone about around the 27th? I'm only 50 miles North of London so no problem getting there.
Also, i'd probably only come for the one evening or day so let us know where youll be etc. I'd rather just PM someone my mobile number and they can text/call me the meeting point on the allocated day.
Keep me posted
This industry has become 2 dimensional as it transcended into a 3D world.
Moving Target - Yes, Piccadilly to Casino can be walked if you know the area. If not, you need to get on the Northern line from Leicester Square stn and go 2 stops to Goodge St.
MovingTarget wrote:Also, is casino easy to get to from Piccadilly?
you can walk-it, which can take about 20-25 minutes.....
you can bus-it (not too sure what number bus), which can take about the same time as walking-it (central londons traffics abit manic! but not as manic as cave!!!).....
but i recommend tube-it, from piccadilly circus take the piccadilly line to leicester square (one stop) than change to northern line (any north bound) to goodge street (two stops), once your out the station its four shops on your right.....
I'll be there on the Saturday, but the time of me getting there is unplanned still, though I can't wait now. 
(feeling very sad of course).....
