It's traditional that we turn up naked on Thursday's just so you know. Imagine the embarrassment if you turned up clothed!

Dunno yet, I hope to pop down for the duration (for beer!) since I have for the last mumblemumble years, but thought I should point out that due to politics there's two trade shows at the same time on opposite ends of London, and ATEI might not be the bigger one (though not sure about that yet).

It's the EAG:
http://www.eagexpo.com/

Sega, Konami, Namco Bandai etc. will all be there.

I see - looks like EAG is the one to go to. What a ridiculous situation, dividing an industry and community like that - both suffer. I guess this kind of thing happens, and I vaguely understand why. In my side of the games industry Leipzig GC suffered a not dissimilar fate.

Anyway - be good to see you at either/both Chi-Ryu. Perhaps we could all manage to visit both? We could all travel together, while DEL goes 'overground' at 200 mph...

Heyas,
I'm thinking of making arrangements to come down around late January or in February, whenever I am free around that time.
Have thought about that EAG thing before, but I dunno if it will appeal enough to me really.

Hope you all have a good Christmas meet (and Christmas too!)

I'll hold it down to 170mph through the Rotherhithe Tunnel.

Anyway, yeah I cornered the Boss of Electrocoin John Sturges on it last friday. He handed me the EAG floorplan, saying something like the big boys in his sector didn't want to be relegated to the Gallery of Earls Court, so it got placed in the back end of nowhere - Excel :x .
He also said that they didn't want non industry members of the public there, so i'll do what I did two years ago and turn up in a suit. It secured me many hotdogs and glasses of red wine at the German Casino Concession stand :wink:
Plus it keeps those idiots at Brent Leisure off your case.

It's really not that tricky, and works every time for me. Turning up like a dirty, scruffy gamer is the same a young looking 18 year old turning up to the pub without ID.

EAG happened due to politics - from what I understand ATEI was sold to Clarion gaming, and ever since the exhibitors have been miffed about various things. Money, for one.

spadgy: Yeah, hope to see you there! I'll probably go to both. Then the pub. I noticed that the Games Convention in Leipzig bit the bullet last year (went to update some slides for a lecture for a friend with details of trade shows and expos and realised it was no more :{)

Awesome gathering tonight. Myself, m0nks, DEL, CHI, Taylor, markedkiller, durango76, and many of the Casino old-guard all in for some credits.

New high score for me on Dogyuun too, and slowly but surely I'm falling for that game more and more. It just needs to be louder, thanks to the new sextet of linked SFIV cabs blaring out some ungodly mayhem (looks pretty sweet actually).

Great to see you all!

I got 1.6 after people left without even going to the Ice Palace. The amount of fail that followed that stopped me getting on the scoreboard wasn't witnessed, but I think m0nks heard me turning the air blue.

You guys need to play DFK more!

I lazily told Google to autodetect :) It's Persian
I play more dogyuun
Was good to see everyone, including the Colindale. I still can
M. Dodonpachidryfukkatsu is not, but I will play more in the future if Dogyuun
spadgy it keeps you
Shame I lost Taylor's score, but we have to do something Chinese
Not sure if I can lower it to Goodge tonight but I have pledged
I did not know that SFIV is in greater numbers now. Tekken population to the left
Mainly due to the console release

I think that makes a little sense :S

apart from the last bit, I just don't want to know what that is all about.

And thanks for the reposting of the picture DEL. I'm sure we have found the source of the credit crunch right there!

We were anti-social bastards tbh.

If I get down (time and meetings pending) I'll probably be on Guilty Gear tomorrow anyway. I want to jump on and get a score in Follett though, so I'll find time. If I stop worrying about doing the Forest perfect and pumping money into the machine while calling it nasty things, I should at least hit number 10! I also want to do the hyper trick on stage 2 daifukkatsu and chain it to actually get a decent score, I can keep my chain on most stages now but I'm still pressing that hyper button after the mid-boss, which is incorrect.

Egads! I can't make it tonight - I might actually turn up Saturday daytime though, and one evening this week.

Sorry chaps - I've got to help a mate out. Best Man at my wedding, so time to return the love with some graft!

That was the original plan - I still can do (if anyone is around), but otherwise y'all can keep it till next weekend (5th & 6th Dec) if you like?

Can I PM someone with my mobile...?
