But Christian from AO kindly lent me DS Mega Black Label PCB after the show, so I've got it for about 6 weeks before I am to bring it to you Del to get installed in the one and only Casino.

That would be amazing

Hurrah! Amazing news. Is that Chi-Ryu? He mentioned lending us the board, but I couldn't find him at the show...

Anyway - big thanks to Christian!

DEL! you posed with a cos-player!? Honestly...

[Raven]

Defo know how lucky i was to get to go to an event like that.

might well catch some of you guys at the casino later in the year, I think me and Icarus
are planning a trip down either in the autumn or early in the new year. so will hopefully get some more experiencde by then.
cant seem to stop playing RF2 at the minute, ewas playing it a lot on the sunday at IC09 and im hooked, havent got anywhere near
my best time of just over 4 Million, i know its low but im learning lol, and im trying to adjust to the faster speed on the emulation.

[DEL]

Thanks for the Border Down vids CHI.
The first 3 stages of a rudimentary low scoring run with a mistake on Stage 3 Yellow and a non optimal Stage 2 Boss first form, but the vids are still good for the basics of a Red run.

I will put them on the Border Down thread in the Strat section.
Shame The Old Mills deleted his footage of me on the 6D Boss five years ago... . I was in much better form back then. Just piecing together fragmented memories now.

OFFD! Taylor_Deathsmiles MBL_Stage4-2

I can explain... :P

[Smraedis]

It was nice to beat your score on DFK, Skykid I couldn't really believe how high it was going, I just really wish I could play that game again now, and get onto the second loop.

Chi-Ryu seemed to spend most of his time in the other room with the DDR machines, I said hi to him when I was going home, also thanks to him for bringing such good games.

[Taylor]

When you don't know the stages it's just luck with what's in your chain. Ex: Including those 3 tanks at the start of stage 1 increases your score ten-fold.

[Smraedis]

Yeah that is true... will need some videos to help learn the stages, and when to use hypers.

[Smraedis]

Okay, thanks to niconico, I now know how to score highly

[Rupert H]

Here's my only worthy picture. Smraedis' finger going crazy like only those digits can do, and RupertH taking a very suave glance at S.M's skills. Nice expression Mr. H! That's a Batrider 1CC too right?

I'm more interested in the fact I think I can play ESPGaluda II without even looking at the screen.

Anyway, Team Royale with Cheese were looking Very Handsome

Funny you should say that DEL. I showed my wife the pics in this thread, and when I showed her this Team Royale picture, she said in a fairly surprised voice "You're four rather handsome guys!"

Certainly a compliment, but there was definitely surprise in her voice! I'm not quite sure who she thought I was meeting up with before she'd seen a picture...

That said - she has met Skykid

[DEL]

spadgy - Now that we've fully established that you lot are handsome, could you update me on Sunday's Shoot'em up Tournament Results

[spadgy]

Sorry mate - completely forgot! I'll get that up this weekend!

[Icarus]

A few random pictures from Saturday at the event. I was busy playing and catching up with people, so my friend Raven took my camera for a bit and took some pictures.

[Lordstar]

I met so many people i forget a lot of them :-S

my excuse is i had been up a good 30+ hours ended up being closer to 38 by the time my head hit the pillow.

[Raven]

I do love that picture of the clone playing on r-type. it was just one of those moments that you can never imagine.

all good pix tho, it was a good weekend

Awesome! Man - next year I'd really like to be involved as an organiser. I know it was hellishly hard work, but I'd love to have been involved!

[nikku]

:O 3 in the morning! And I thought I had it rough getting up at 6 to get there

No seriously, the organisers gave me an absolutely amazing day. Even if the ticket price had been double, I still would have felt like I was robbing you. I wish I could have bought some more T-Shirts

All hands on deck Be sure to let poolchamp know. I wasn't officially on the team this year, note the lack of a staff shirt. Next year I'll definitely be more involved.

I think my body runs on 100V.

[sven666]

looks like a fantastic arrangement indeed, truly hats off to the organisers, real shame i couldnt attend.

ive arranged many arcade expos myself and it certainly is no easy task.

You sure as hell looked like you were one of the IC09 boys to me. More so than the various girlfriends of people who wore staff shirts and did nothing. Seriousley guys! Keep em at home yo!

[SuperPang]

IC09 WAGS gallery?

[cools]

/me waits for pang to add a Members Wives section to AO.

[Leeram]

It was utterly fantastic.

Here are some pictures that I took using my mobile phone.

I'm not on any of them, but I saw some of you there. I was the fat bloke with the Atari T-shirt. At the very front of the queue on day two!

Cheers

That's pretty mean.

You were the only one without a staff shirt, there were about 10 strangers there who managed to somehow aquire them throughout the weekend. I was asked by a random kid in a staff tee shirt to come and fix the buttons on SFIV - wtf?!

[Lordstar]

Yeah next time I will have all the staff shirts done ahead of time and eeryone on the core team will have there shirts designated to them. As for your misses Skykidd she was lovley. I dunno whats shes doing with you though dude. Still keep a hold of that one at least until next year so I can try and steal her away (joking, and you better fucking know it)

My initial thoughts upon seeing the first few pics: "Wow, I need to go to this one of those days, CA Extreme ain't got shit on this."
After seeing the admission prices: "This is across the Atlantic? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck."
