Great to meet CHI tonight and witness him beating his PB at Pork!

Thanks for the tuition man.

PS. I do NOT look like Paul Mc-fkin-kenna!

Since I met RGC the first time, I quit smoking, feel relaxed and find myself suddenly awake at night doing menial tasks around his home.

I'm not sure he just looks like Paul McKenna!

Bastids. But I'm still developing my skills, working up towards the more advanced stuff.

You often down Casino then bingza? Always good to hear we've got more people heading in.

And welcome to the forum!

I think I'm going to head to there today.

Is it generally very busy at 7-8ish or will I be able to almost finish the first level of things safely tucked away?

Taylor · Post by **Taylor** » Tue Apr 14, 2009 10:22 pm

I'll be down tomorrow (wed) if I can get to work early to utilize flexitime. About 6:30, maybe.

Edit: Maybe not. Being late isn't utilizing flexitime.

Post by **spadgy** » Wed Apr 15, 2009 12:52 pm

I'm going to try getting there on Thursday night - we all seem to be going on separate nights at the moment!

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Wed Apr 15, 2009 4:07 pm

I'll be down at 6.30 tonight with Uncle CHI.

EDIT:- A good session tonight with some heavy characters:- Mr Hong Kong, landlord, Ryan Hart, KAC, IMX, Big CHI, Kuso, Obe and other mortals.

Garou Mark of the Wolves is now installed. Tekken 6 BR is supposed to go in also, then KOF12. Add these to AVP and a Pork cab with new monitor chassis and things are starting to shape up in Casino.

hey spadgy, it was my first time last week along with RGC and a mutal friend of ours but was early in the day so a little quiet looking fward to coming down during the next meet

im pretty new to the scene just got myself a MVS lordsvale which i have restored and looking to get into shmups after watching RGC play PORK.

i have aero fighters 2 and strikers 1945 plus for my cab, know these arnt the best but gotta start somewhere

Post by **spadgy** » Fri Apr 17, 2009 8:25 am

Cool - I look forward to meeting a friend of The Captain.

I had a really nice time down Casino last night - it was pretty busy with the fighter crowd, and the whole place was being polished to the point that we couldn't breath, but I had a lovely time sat with John and Craig watching them play 2-player Galaxian. I love watching those two master the really old games...

DEL, apparently Tekken BR is already there, but no monitor to play it on, did you suggest my idea to John?

mr_m0nks · Post by **mr_m0nks** » Sun Apr 19, 2009 11:54 am

Back in London this week and hoping to make an appearance Thursday or Friday.

it's up and running since saturday, bad thing is the speakers are below the monitor and it has no card reader!

EDIT: spelling...

RGC · Post by **RGC** » Mon Apr 20, 2009 7:46 pm

I know it's a few weeks away yet, but I'll be down again (with company) on 9th May day/eve, providing Pork! has been fixed. Can't do the weekend of the shmeet now. Anyone about on 9th?

Post by **spadgy** » Fri Apr 24, 2009 8:29 am

Hey m0nks - I'm going to try and make it tonight - if I don't have to work late...

Skykid · Post by **Skykid** » Fri Apr 24, 2009 10:07 am

Mills · Post by **Mills** » Sat Apr 25, 2009 11:16 am

KING OF FIGHTERS 12! When will SNK call it quits on making sequels for this game which the gameplay has become progressive worst since KOF 98.

Post by **spadgy** » Sat Apr 25, 2009 12:25 pm

Yeah - sorry m0nks - at it all night. Bloody deadlines. I'm off out of the country for a couple of weeks too, so going to be away from Casino for a fortnight...

Time to confess I'm going to miss the shmupmeet in the shmeet thread too! Gutted!

Danbo · Post by **Danbo** » Tue Apr 28, 2009 4:47 pm

Has there been a thread about this event yet?

http://insertcoin-09.com/news/

Not exactly in London, but since I plan to be coming down from Scotland to go to the event it shouldn't be too taxing for you Londoners.

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Wed Apr 29, 2009 8:31 am

^Thanks for the link. This is a thread somewhere, but all we need is this link.

Smraedis · Post by **Smraedis** » Wed Apr 29, 2009 4:58 pm

Hmm, it sounds good, if you can get a TV somehow.. I know I wouldn't be able to bring mine all the way down sadly... and I'll be there on the Friday.

Am sure to be going to InsertCoin too, I think many a people seem interested in it.

Tis my birthday today
