A great one - thanks so much JDE and hzt for brilliant hosting. Some excellent behavior from everyone there, and so nice that you guys and Mrs. spadgy (Anime Champion) finally met! And great to meet you too Aliquantic!

I look forward to MX7's photos.

And Thursday sounds good to me (I think I can't make Tuesday; there's a Trials HD Evolution event on or something. If that doesn't end too late (it's in Soho) I'll pop in...

EDIT: The Casino crew's collective ePenis is 100 pages long. Unlike...

Awesome party from what I can remember! Mixing medication and ridiculous amounts of booze was a bad idea. Sorry if I made a tit of myself and upset everyone :-/ Cheers JDE and HZT For the hosting and planning!

You made a tit of yourself and entertained everyone (or at least me).

I think I'm recovered enough to make it down to Casino tomorrow.

I'm pretty certain I made a massive mammary of myself too but I hope I didn't upset anyone. :?

I should be able to make it to warm and cozy (if smelly) Casino on Thursday, if people are around... and I'd love it if someone managed to lure Andrew near a SF4 setup at some point, so I can take my kiddy gloves off :wink:

I wasn't aware Andrew could play SF4, that's more Rupert's domain. :idea:
SF2 Turbo is more his forte.

I think we need images and a full roster of events and happenings on Saturday night, or it didn't happen! :wink:

He says he can't, but he made me play 3S which I definitely cannot play (though I Chun Li'd my way to a win or two), so it's only fair to have a rematch on my turf :P I wish Casino had ST though... it has its own quirky charm for this 2011 vintage masher.

If I don't remember it, did it really happen??????? I wish I'd got more pictures but I put my tablet somewhere safe then couldn't find it.

Also I'm sure I made a tit of myself, I'm just not sorry like the others.

Oh it's on... :D

I'll be down at the normal time tomorrow, 16:20 onwards.

p.s. I'm pretty sure I actually caught the lurgy from casino, specifically the SF4 setup! I'm bringing antibacterial wipes and alcohol gel from now on.

I was sober the whole night, and none of you made tits of yourselves, you tits!

No can do Tuesday (committed to playing Trials Evolution until the small hours so as to review it), but Thursday I'll be there. Probably playing Progear again!

MX7 – if you can't remember much from Saturday, check your phone; you were taking pictures like a pap (and put them up here!).

Who's coming down this week? I should be there on Tuesday from 5.30pm onwards... I haven't heard back from Andrew but I do hope he'll be around too!

By the way that's the weekly fighting game thing I mentioned to a couple of you guys... not feeling confident enough to go just yet though :P

Are you also playing HOTD 4?

Or rather, given that it's deadline week, are you planning on picking it up?

Still in the megashit cab.

I might re-arrange things so I can come down Thursday now, not sure though.

When I left Casino, one of the SF4 cabs wasn't accepting coins in the P2 slot, the other one was being serviced and rebooted half a dozen times with no apparent success, and the one by the stairs was apparently not suitable for two player games :P There even were a few people who looked like they'd play, but no luck there... 3S did get to see some good competition though.

Probably not making it on Thursday though, this is ATTN Andrew.
