London Casino Crew meets (RIP the Arcade)

[spadgy]

On my way, and I've got your Outzone DVD CHI!

Is there a superplay DVD out there, or is it Chi playing?

It's one I got from rancor's store. Nothing official or fancy; just a touhou superplay DVD (if 'touhou' even fits there) where the player uses such overpowered autofire it's of little use for developing strategies if you;re playing straight off of the PCB.

Unfortunately the chances of me making it out tonight are unlikely, especially since there's a void where Darius Burst used to be.

What!? The Darius Burts cab has gone? Is that honestly the case?

any of you guys making it up to Manchester for the play expo?

When is that?

[hzt]

(if 'touhou' even fits there)

doujin?

I don't think anyone noticed until Skykid pointed it out. I remember you looking inside while we were smoking and thinking you were going to say something about it but you didn't notice and we started talking about something else before I brought it up.

It's like one of those psychology experiments that show how people fail to notice really obvious changes.

[spadgy]

Yep - of course, I mean doujin.

And I missed that Darius Burst was missing? Holy shit! I don't know whether to be thrilled or despairing about that lack of awareness!

I'm still confused. Why did you call it an Outzone DVD if it's a DVD of Tohou?

I'm in London next week, arriving Wednesday and going home on Friday. I'm gonna drop by Casino for sure on Thursday, anyone wanna meet up for some meet and greet?

I was being confusing (and stupid)! Its a doujin superplay DVD of Outzone.

I'll be in Thursday next week, as will most of us I'd imagine! It'd be great to meet you in person emphatic.

This Thursday, however, I can't make, as I'll be attending the Games Media Awards, because I'm a swanky twat.

[emphatic]

Awesome. Really looking forward to London.

[spadgy]

I hope everybody is down next Thursday - it's always nice to greet a guest with a full house!

Ptoing, let us know if you visit Casino during your London trip.

[MX7]

Going to have to give tonight another miss due to my ongoing financial woes, but should be business as usual from next week onwards Looking forward to another transnational shooting session.

[emphatic]

Awesome to hear many of you can make it. I'm bringing a friend along who's no "shmups forumite", but he does like arcade gaming.

[dan76]

I'll be along as well - but can we try and put something different in there, we have an international reputation to hold up. Anyone with boards to lend PLEASE HELP!

general consensus tonight was DOJ?!?

No worries, Mr Kid, it's next week.

[cools]

Forgetting what day of the month it is too.

Ah, excellent! Hopefully I'll be here on the 25th then (I'm only in London temporarily at the mo.)

[Illyrian]

Assuming that this fever I am running has gone by thursday I will be there as well.

[emphatic]

At what time approximately can we expect people to be at Casino on Thursday? I didn't know this, but our plane leaves on Friday evening, making an appearance on Friday possible as well.

[emphatic]

Thanks!

[emphatic]

Popped in real quick today to have a look around after stopping at Starbucks for some coffee. Easy to find and quite near our hotel. See ya tomorrow, boys!

[CHI]

^could've met you today after 17:00! Hope you're still around on friday

[MX7]

Looking forward to emerging from my self-imposed gloom to welcome the Swedish shooting contingent tonight!

[emphatic]

^could've met you today after 17:00! Hope you're still around on friday

Leaving Friday around 3 in the afternoon with the train to the airport. I was a bit premature about how much time we have here, sadly. I suppose you're not at Casino before that time?

We were on our way elsewhere yesterday, so we didn't really have time to hang out, sorry.
