London Casino Crew meets (RIP the Arcade)

[Illyrian]

So that's what that screaming I heard all the way from brentford was....

[dan76]

I'm in town today so I'll drop in after 6. Also down tuesday.

EDIT

[Illyrian]

Assuming that my copy of Crimson Clover hasn't arrived today I'll be down in Casino after work tomorrow from 4.15 onwards like normal.

[CHI]

CHI ... can actually pause his own time so he never ages.

He was telling me about getting IDed for cigarettes the other day and I was definitely surprised when he told me he's actually 87.

lmao... i said i was born in 1987

Darius Burst AC Chronical Mode is at 91% complete... two more segments to clear but they're proper HARD...
and on one credit clear ONLY... i've been working on them but with no luck, i will get there with more practice

first world... 100% Complete



could this be... Papa DEL (3RD)

[dan76]

After much ado the screen on Deathsmiles is now near perfect... Not that it's improved my game much.

Seems unlikely I'll be down tuesday. Wednesday/thursday more likely this week.

[DEL]

Nope CHI, not me. I haven't been back and played it yet. But don't worry, I'll copy your style and destroy your score when I DO come over.

[Smraedis]

Nice to see it all beat, I hope I get to play it there too!

[spadgy]

Wednesday/thursday more likely this week.

I clearly missed yesterday. I had to go to Dublin to meet PopCap, and got back about 10pm. Didn't really think that through! Somehow thought I'd be there last night.

Thursday I can do though. Anybody else likely to come along and bear Dan and I's company?

[CHI]

CHI, not me...

no worries... was quite shocked to see a bad score under the name... DEL

Nice to see it all beat, I hope I get to play it there too!

was not easy... while everyone prefers CAVE
you know it's calling out to you .SM

Thursday I can do though. Anybody else likely to come along and bear Dan and I's company?

i'll be down from wednesday, thursday, friday and saturday this week from 6pm...
also me needs to put CHISUS! on every table on DARIUS BURST AC so peeps/locals have a target to aim

[hzt]

I'll come down Thursday, and most likely tonight as well.

[spadgy]

Who the fuck created that new avatar of yours hzt? I really hope it was you!

[hzt]

It's SHMUPS (naked) Picture Week: http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=38233

[JDE]

Who the fuck created that new avatar of yours hzt? I really hope it was you!

The pic is actually taken from hzt's new promo video for his latest line of aftershave, which I will never be able to afford.
Also the only day I can make it down to Casino this week is Thursday, so I'll see you there Spadgy!

[Illyrian]

I should be able to come down after work tomorrow.

p.s. theo that picture man....I lol'd.

[spadgy]

Nice full house on Thursday!

Tuesday next week then chaps?

[JDE]

Next Tuesday is good for me, might be able to do Thursday as well. Also, Casino is in the news again!

"London's Casino Leisure arcade - sitting on the more sedate end of Tottenham Court Road - offers a more contemporary collection, although it's more hardcore in its concerns. Beneath the rattle and hum of fruit machines on the top floor there's an ever-changing line-up of cabinets taking in the latest 2D shmups and brawlers, with arcade boards often kindly donated by a dedicated community."

[Illyrian]

That's awesome, here's hoping it brings more money to the place.

[spadgy]

Martin who wrote that piece is a great chap. I keep trying to get him down the arcade to meet us. He and I have gone on several press trips together, and he is always enthusiastic to hear my arcade waffling. One day he'll join us!

And I'll see some of you Tuesday then!

[dan76]

I'll be down tomorrow around 5.

[hzt]

That article makes me feel like an arcade superhero.

Having said that I probably won't be down this week, maybe Thursday, not sure.

If you lend Garegga or Batrider to the Casino I would be forever in your debt :-O

I think Dodonpachi's in, and DOJ is back in as well.

Am I right in thinking people are down tonight? I haven't been to the arcade in ages due to enforced jobless frugality, but now I have a part time lecturing post where I used to work, I should be down more often. Looking forward to a bit of Dai Ou Jou

[charlie chong]

i'm very happy to lend my battle gregor to casino.. i have it on sega saturn as well and i built a homemade saturn hack for my cab sooo yeah i'll try to arrange something with chi. gonna be busy moving all my stuff from edinburgh for a couple of weeks but i'll try make it down soon

We are indeed down tonight, and DOJ's back in a 'nice' cab. Be good to see you down there again.

expect some cursing and jokes from the chong in the casino very soon

Wicked! Was Insert Coin the last time I saw you? It'll be nice to have another member joining the Casino Crew! We've got DDP, DDP DOJ, Progear and a dodgy Mushi in at the moment, plus some other stuff like Darius Burst. And it would be great to get Garegga or Batrider in. That would be ace!

[Illyrian]

I'm in devon this week visiting my dad, so I'll be back to casino next week probably tuesday

[Mills]

Cant really afford casino sessions nowadays. I just want someone to beat that egohead player who thinks hes god's gift to shumps. Someone has gotta take his score off.

[CHI]
