London Casino Crew meets (RIP the Arcade)

[mr_m0nks]

thanks guys,

looks like its going to be Saturday i will be going down Casino not Friday.

[Smraedis]

I've booked my travel for 27-29th August, so I'll see you guys then.

Spadgy, would I be able to get your sofa that weekend, I don't mind if I can't, but it would be nice

[spadgy]

I just need to check my diary when I get to work tomorrow, but I reckon this should be fine mate.

I'll be in between 7 and 7.30pm tomorrow - CHI's around then too...

[Dizzm]

Hey guys, i know i rarely post/show my head in the casino but i shall be there today from about 2 wearing my 1 of a kind 'King Dizzm' T-shirt. So tap me on the shoulder and whoop my ass at some games if you see me about :3

[spadgy]

Great to see Ravid back tonight, and the new improved drunk version of CHI!

He was only tipsy really, but I liked to pretend to The Engineer he was a lot worse for wear!

Anyway - Ketsui is in, along with Fighting Hawk, which is so much more fun in a cab, and Shock Troopers, which might even get my wife down!

[dan76]

Good news about Ketsui - I'll be down Friday

[CHI]

WOW! since my last post this thread has been busy

ok... Ketsui, Fighting Hawk and Shock Troopers has been installed in Casino yesterday evening...

Great to see Ravid back tonight, and the new improved drunk version of CHI!

Congrats on your degree mr_monks, I just finished mine as well

yes Congrats to you both, now start shooting...

I've booked my travel for 27-29th August, so I'll see you guys then.

due to my working timetable i should be around... actually will be looking forward to it... is there any other games you want...

@ Sapz and Dizzm: welcome to the Casino Thread

[Tigershark]

Never played Ketsui so I'm definitely going to give it a go now.

Great stuff.

[caincan]

WOW!

WOW is the word too !! finally you took some PICTURES !!!! would be great if sometimes the regulars, put some 3GP video or iphone video, or pictures, that shows the line-up changing of this arcade

[Smraedis]

Fighting Hawk should be good
oh and maybe DonPachi, since you have that now.

[CHI]

will be popping-in this evening for a while just to see how things are going on...

oh and maybe DonPachi, since you have that now.

hmm... DonPachi i need to check on that...

WOW is the word too !! finally you took some PICTURES !!!! would be great if sometimes the regulars, put some 3GP video or iphone video, or pictures, that shows the line-up changing of this arcade

finally! me and DEL has always been taking pictures when special meet happens...
and also mini videos too... well mainly gameplays
i see what i can do, now we have some new games in Casino...

[DEL]

caincan - The arcade is mostly fighting titles (very new ones) and usually about 4 shooters, mainly lent by us. But this works out ok, as we can rotate the very latest games (if we have them in our personal collections).
Sven told me at the German Meet that you have a warehouse full of games

[mr_m0nks]

anyone else down on sat?

[Taylor]

Today I’m going to London with some friends and might be able to convince them to pop in, but not sure when.
If not, we'll disperse around 5:30pm so maybe I'll hang around.

[spadgy]

How did Ketsui treat you then folks?

I'm going to head in this Thursday - who's around?

I've booked my travel for 27-29th August, so I'll see you guys then.

So are we going to go for this weekend for a meet then folks?

I checked my diary Smraedis, and I've nothing going on, so your welcome to my sofa (I won't be around until about 7.30pm on the Friday, but I guess we'll be down the arcade then anyway).

I can certainly bring my DonPachi. I'm also maybe thinking of investing in the Espgaluda II that's currently for sale here, so we can have it for the meet and maybe in Casino for a few weeks/months before I sell it again.

However, before I do that, would people actually be interested in having Espgaluda II in Casino?

[dan76]

I was in on Friday - Ketsui kicked my ass, kind of glad no one was around... Should be down on Thursday.

Galuda II sounds good for Casino.

[spadgy]

Somebody else got Galuda II on hold quicker than I could blink. Typically I've taken too long deciding on if I can afford it. You never know though. I might have the balls to pick it up if the sale doesn't complete!

[spadgy]

Well - I offered the money if the current hold doesn't become a sold...

[spadgy]

Missed that deal on Espy II, but by the end of the week I should have sealed the deal on either another Espgaluda II or an Esprade. Either would be great for Casino right?

So - who's in tomorrow? I can make tomorrow and Friday or Saturday.

Tomorrow's a definite - Friday or Saturday depends on who's around...

[Taylor]

I'll try and make it down Friday, but there's also a leaving event for someone at work. It might get shifted to lunchtime, though.

I can't do anything on Saturday :(

[spadgy]

I think I'm writing a feature about your work for our September issue - an audio focus. I can't remember the name of the guy I'm in touch with off the top of my head...

[Rupert H]

I can swing by for a short spell at around 6pm.

[Ravid]

I'll probably drop by for some Ketsui action later

[spadgy]

Both of you tonight huh? It would be great to see you. It's been a little while Rupert...

I'll be in between 7 and 7.30pm. Strangely, Fighting Hawk is playing on my mind more than Ketsui.

[Rupert H]

Oh ball flaps. I was only popping in for a brief chat so I don't think I can wait around for 1hr plus. Next time Will... Maybe Tomorrow?

[spadgy]

Skykid has a ballflap.

I could head in tomorrow. It would be about the same time though. That good for you?

[Rupert H]

That would be much better for me. I can pop in around 8:15. Are you around at that time?

[Taylor]

Actually, I can come down Saturday too, as I've gained the ability to read dates.
It's a bit of a journey though, so I wouldn't like to head down on the off chance.

I probably know the guy you mean spadgy. Not going to talk shop on here tho ^^

[spadgy]

I'm definitely down tomorrow (Friday) from 7.30pm until late.

I was super late tonight as I fucked up the tube with stupendous idiocy (got of at the worng stop or missed my stop THREE TIMES!

Sorry I missed you ravid. Had a lot of fun whith CHI and Durango though, and nice to see John and Craig too, as always.

Me and CHI had loads of fun on Fighting Hawk, which is what we're both heading back for tomorrow, in a race to get the 1CC. Currently I'm in the lead, but I'm sure CHI will win in the end. I also came short of John's Fighting Hawk score (my 510,600 to his 511,000). It would have been maddening, but it turned out that was just his high score of the day. His actual best is about 40k more). If ever beat a John score, I'll be over the moon. that guy is fantastic at older shooters.

And Durango - if you want me to order you any stick parts over the weekend, I'm putting in an order so let me know.

Taylor - I was avoiding talking too much shop here too. If I do make it down Saturday, I'll ley you know.

m0nks - you around?

[Skykid]

Skykid has a ballflap.

I've got it on hold for you.
