Spring 2012 MD/VA/DC Area Shmupmeet

Post by Kiken »

Guess it's about time to start looking into possible dates to hold this. UD HD comes out before the end of this month, and with any luck, we'll see Sine Mora shortly. So how's everyone's schedule looking?

Looking forward to taking a shot at UD HD :D

I've got the first 2 weekends of March clear, after that is pretty iffy. Last weekend in February is OK too but I guess the games won't be out in time for then.

What kind of food complements helicopters and battleships?

Feb is a clustermuffin, March probably less so.


I think we've been dodging Vietnamese for a while, might be time to do that finally.


Kiken have you tried out Biryani Pointe yet? It's an Indian place right next to the Trader Joes. Looks like a nightclub. I actually like it quite a bit, food quality is real good and it's slightly cheaper than other Indian places. Only problem is the spice level seems totally inconsistent.


(Speaking of spice, Ren's had an awesome Bakudan Ramen over the weekend)

I think I'm good the first or second weekend of March.

Vietnamese... we could totally go to Pho Nom Nom (where Ba Le used to be). Haven't had anything I didn't like there yet!

Also, who wants to borrow Instant Brain and unlock DDP real quick

I'm not sure what my schedule is going to be like, I might be changing jobs soon. I'll just clear my schedule once everyone else has a convenient date in mind.

In that case, I guess we should shoot for 3/3. See you guys then. Starting time will be 2pm as usual.

Brain-flavored instant ramen is on its way to nZero for consumption.

My brother has a Kinect and I can ask if I can borrow it for the meet, but I'm not sure if he has the requisite power adapter for using it with older 360s since he got his bundled with a 360 S. Might be best to see if anyone else has one they can bring anyway since there's no guarantee I can borrow it that day.

Apparently I'm on call that weekend. I'll probably still be there but I have no idea what I'm doing on call so it might be interesting to say the least.

Just wondering, do any of you guys have a spare S-Video cable (male to male) that I could borrow?

I've probably got one that you can just have, I've still got a ton of spare cables stored away from the move. I'll pull out my cable duffel and dig around on Wed and let you know.

That would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Going to be swinging by my brother's place beforehand to pick up his Kinect.

Do we want to attempt streaming Kinectpachi live?

So I totally forgot about the request for an S-Video cable. Do you still need one?
