Waterloo Ontario SHMUPMEET Sat July 25th ~MASK LABEL~
Re: Waterloo Ontario SHMUPMEET Sept 14
No Roo, you need to stick it. There comes a time in every boy's life where he must cast of the controller of his youth and embrace the controller of an adult. Besides you can shmup with a keyboard, which is pretty damn queer, so you should have no problem getting the hang of a stick.

Re: Waterloo Ontario SHMUPMEET Sept 14
Yes yes yes yes play with a stick. I have tried a couple different ones and I can notice a definite difference between them, so you need to try a few before you find one you're comfortable with. Different game types, grips and play styles all have different requirements for controls.BareknuckleRoo wrote:I've got to remember to bring my Hori pad next time so I don't look like such a chump at Futari (I swear my D-Pad feels less floaty). That or get used to actually playing on stick.
Plus these days pads tend to destroy my thumb ligaments after a very short amount of play time, sticks are way more comfortable.

Re: Waterloo Ontario SHMUPMEET Oct 12
UPDATE: We've changed this to Sunday October 14th from noon.
I was thinking of doing another one of these Friday October 12th from ~6pm like last time. That's the Friday following the Thanksgiving long weekend. Anyone else up for this?
I'm quite happy to host again or if someone else wants a turn that's cool too.

Re: Waterloo Ontario SHMUPMEET Oct 12
I'd go but it's -starting- at 6pm? That might be a little late for me and I don't know how eerie the highway all the way back to Toronto will be.

Re: Waterloo Ontario SHMUPMEET Oct 12
Well, it would be great to have you SFKhoa. Would earlier work? Also I don't mind changing it to Saturday either, but then we're cutting into people's weekends.
Re: Waterloo Ontario SHMUPMEET Oct 12
I wont be able to make it if it's on saturday, I work saturday's in mississauga D:

Just curious, would Sunday work at all? I just remembered I have to head down to Waterloo anyway for a video game swap meet.
If not, Friday is still cool.

I'm probably going to miss this one as I should be in the states hanging with friends and attending a local pro wrestling show. If plans change I'll let you know.

Hope you have fun in the states!
I could make it work but would only want to change if it's the popular vote. Any thoughts moh and 'Roo?SFKhoa wrote:Just curious, would Sunday work at all? I just remembered I have to head down to Waterloo anyway for a video game swap meet.

Re: Waterloo Ontario SHMUPMEET Oct 12
The 14th would work for me I think. I get off late enough that I'd have to rush to Waterloo after work or simply go in a few hours earlier to arrive in a timely fashion on Fridays, so I'm cool with Sunday.

Re: Waterloo Ontario SHMUPMEET Oct 14
Ok, seems there's no objections, so lets make it Sunday October 14th. Starting at noon and going until whenever (though I work Monday so not until 3am or whatever we did last time
).

Don't forget that the CGCC video game swap meet is in Kitchener on the 14th from 1-4PM
It's at the Moose Lodge on Wabanaki! You guys should make a pilgrimage if you're gathering anyway!

Re: Waterloo Ontario SHMUPMEET Oct 14
My disposable income's been accounted for already so no point going to a video game sale for me. :p why are marriages so expensive, augh
Re: Waterloo Ontario SHMUPMEET Oct 14
Going to have to miss that. Out of country. Let me know if you're bringing anything you think I might want though. I'll still have friend's there who might buy something off you for me.maxlords wrote:Don't forget that the CGCC video game swap meet is in Kitchener on the 14th from 1-4PMIt's at the Moose Lodge on Wabanaki!

Re: Waterloo Ontario SHMUPMEET Oct 14
A local friend's got one I can borrow, I'll bring it along with me (and him if he's interested, he's fairly new to shmups and I'll try to drag him out).
Re: Waterloo Ontario SHMUPMEET Oct 14

Re: Waterloo Ontario SHMUPMEET Oct 14
Should I bring my collection of JP360 shmups or does everyone have it taken care of?
I'll bring my stick+pad (because I like alternating between both).
Also, moh. Sorry to randomly ask but would you still be interested in just the CPS2 B-board?

He's got a pretty massive collection (basically all of Cave's XBox 360 releases including Mushi HD if I recall) so I don't think you need to bring any extra games.

Re: Waterloo Ontario SHMUPMEET Oct 14
Yeah, unless you feel like Strike Witches or Otomedius G, I think I've got you covered.
Re: Waterloo Ontario SHMUPMEET Oct 14
I actually ended up picking one up with mars matrix for pretty cheap. I could use a spare though, how much were you looking to get for it?SFKhoa wrote:Should I bring my collection of JP360 shmups or does everyone have it taken care of?

Re: Waterloo Ontario SHMUPMEET Oct 14
I actually don't know prices too well. I'll just bring it over anyway and we can decide from there.
Re: Waterloo Ontario SHMUPMEET Oct 14
Khoa, if you're dropping by, don't forget the few bucks ya owe me from last time!
Also, for shmup stuff, I don't have much aside from a DDP DFK book cover thing, a boxed Thunderforce II, and a couple of random meh games. Nothing spectacular!
