I might do, but it depends on finding a cheap place to stay - can't say for sure at the moment. Looks really good though!

I'm not sure, but he seems friendly! I'll be down this Thursday to meet him. :P
Welcome back Spadgy, we missed you!

Yes please, that'd be great! Also, I seem to remember that Casino had Chaos Heat in the Raiden DX cab a while ago, so presumably they own a G-NET motherboard: perhaps you could coax The Engineer into digging it out and installing it with one of your cards as well?

Then we can have Castle of Shikigami in one cab with your motherboard, and XII Stag in another cab with their motherboard. That would neatly solve the dilemma of which game to install - double dip!

Okay so once again my carefully laid plans to come to casino go to shit. Turns out my emergency dental surgery is tomorrow instead of today, so there go my plans.

I'll be down next week, either tuesday or thursday based on when people are going to be around.

Sorry all :(

Why didn't I think of playing MMP Harahara/Manpuku until now on the PCB? The codes are a pain to enter, but it'd be fun! Who's with me?

I'm pretty sure both modes are already unlocked on Skykid's porky PCB in Casino. You're on your own though, not my cup of tea.

We (read: I) activated manpuku a while ago. I like how you can be killed by suicide bullets after killing a boss and with all the crap flashing up on screen and getting in the way.

I also liking starting the game in manpuku mode when JDE wants to play.

Indeed it was!

But - a bloody miracle. I'm still on track to turn up at about 7.15pm, and I've remembered to bring the GNET bundle with me!

There should be a good turnout tonight! I'll head down too. Will probably just end up talking about weird films rather than playing shooting games though.

Will you keep MMP around for the next month? I'll totally play a credit of each for your entertainment. Harahara isn't THAT bad though, but 1.00 Manpuku... it's interesting. Also Sapz will play too.

(I don't know how to actually get into the modes, unless it involves input the silly code again?)

We just replaced MMP with Shikigami no Shiro.

It was CHI's fault.

I was just reminded today that Harahara/Manpuku was a thing on the PCB too, but don't worry, it's not like I was going to play more than one credit of each! What do I look like, a shmup player?

I don't expect you guys to play Shiki 1 for more than a couple weeks before you beg for a proper game to be put back anyway :P

(Still no good SF4 players in Casino? Almost everybody has left the place by now, it's sad)

Has anyone mentioned to you about 'Gamer Base' in Trocadero :?:
All the fighters has gone there for Ranking Battles, Casuals, etc...
Hope this might help: http://neoempire.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13326
You should go and check it out some time :mrgreen:

Yeah, I know about Gamer Base and that other new place (Heart of Gaming or something?), but that doesn't help me if I want to talk to you guys and need some Casino distraction!

They're also too good, so I need moral support. And a stick since they're too big to carry around. And a pony.

I can only help with one of those:

It's staying in for four years in that cab and that's that.

(Actually - soon I'd like to buy Espgaluda, as prices seem OK at the moment, so maybe that could go in if I find one I can afford).

And great to see you all last night; a good show of strength from Casino Crew!
