Casino Crew Mega Meet #2

Date: Saturday 15th February
Start Time: 6:30 PM
Venue: Hzt's swanky pad (PM me or hzt for the address)
Nearest Tube Station: Camden Road

The 2nd Casino Crew Mega Meet is once again being held at hzt's super exclusive studio flat. Look forward to Shmup Roulette (with a twist...), life-sized Super Turbo and KoF '98 on a projector, questionable music from bands you've never heard of and more! As with last time, all you need to bring is yourself and £5 to cover pizza.

I'll wait and see what the weather is playing over the weekend. Hopefully the meet is not too far out of London given the public transport situation with the dumbarse tube strikes.

[spadgy]

Tube strike was cancelled this time! I was riding on a Tube late last night!

And I will be there Saturday. My dear partner's attendance depends on how hard she parties Friday night (close mate's birthday).

[Mills]

Maybe, but the weather is gonna be the main headache for most and may affect services.

[Illyrian]

Okay so my entire weekend has gone to hell, I can't make it this evening.

Sorry, no choice

I will be there next time!

[Mills]

Your not the only one who can't make tonight's meet. Finished work late, too tired to make the journey plus I gotta work the following morning. Working the weekend at Halfords is not fun.

Hey! Good news . You're earning ca$h. Glad to see you're back on track.
Would you be able to join the guys on the trip to Stunfest?

[Blinge]

Dan and JDE - I think it's safe to say we were all blown away by the latest preview of your game. I really can't think of any criticism to spoil your day with...

Keep at it, it's fucking awesome.

Thanks for having us hzt, had a wicked time and as usual I wish I could've stayed a bit longer!

oh and @ Dan and Rupert: I will have my revenge

[spadgy]

Yeah - genuinely loved the game guys. Sincerely can't wait to play more (and maybe try and regain a top 3 spot again!).

The very fact that a little scoring contest built around 'Valentine's Ver.' on Saturday proves you crafted a true shmup. It was really bloody compelling, and I can't wait to see the next version.

Great to see you all too! Saturday night was a wicked laugh.

^ Fit.

[Blinge]

lmao those pictures.

Can I invite myself? I'd love to go this year!

Oh no! I missed out again! Sorry I didnt make it chaps. Moved into a new flat this week, spent the weekend reading about insurance and bills and shit. Effing boring!

These photos are fantastic, I especially like Spadgy's frog impression.

lmao those pictures.

You look like you just discovered masturbation.

[dan76]

No, he just discovered light kick spamming on SF3. Cheap wins but then again... I am cheap. Rematch at the next Loading cafe meet? I've got the old xbox version which works on the 360.

Thanks for playing our game everyone. All comments and suggestions have been noted!

[spadgy]

Did I mention I like the bonus items? I like the bonus items a lot.

[Blinge]

Rematch at the next Loading cafe meet?

I.. erm..ahh.. no thanks =]

[Skykid]

All about life-size SF3! Awesome to see the pics. Miss hanging out with you gents.

A bit.

[spadgy]

No need for more than a bit. We are awful people.

There is a special 4th loop of AIR ASSAULT (or fourth Empire as stated on ending credits) but very few players have actually done it. Japanese gamer SHIN (those of you know of him being virtually unbeatable on VIRTUAL FIGHTER 2,3, Streetfighter 2 (modified speeded up version). Can't quite remember the conditions of 4th looping Air Assault but you definitely had complete all 3 loops with 1st life, not sure about no use of bombs or switching to different main shot weapon like the most popular green wide shot weapon.
Might have to research that one CHI.

Just what i've been waiting for, someone who knows the game more than me, thanks...
I'll copy and paste your reply on to the hi-score thread to share some light...

[spadgy]

A fourth loop! Wow! Getting that game on PCB has become an obsession of mine, but I fear it's going to financially ruin me.

[spadgy]

So, are we doing this coming Saturday at Loading? If so, I'll bring my new copy of Neo XYX (the new Toaplan-style shmup from NG.Dev) along with my Dreamcast, stick, and every bloody wire I can think of!

@Loading!
Where is that happening?

Loading is all booked up this Saturday (March 1st), but Sunday 2nd should be OK. Is that good for people, or should we do Saturday 8th instead?

[spadgy]

I think I can do either.

[dan76]

Damn, I can only make this Saturday. Can't make Sunday or the following weekend. See you all in spring.

[hzt]

I'll try and make it either way but I may not make it this week I think, I've got a lot to do over the weekend.

[JDE]

Well I've come down with something nasty and don't want to infect anyone, so it looks like Saturday 8th March would be the best time for the next Mini Meet.
Also, since everyone was so keen on Pork & Pink Sweets at the last Mega Meet, how about we make Armed Police Batrider the Shmup of the Month for March?

[spadgy]

March 8th works for me actually. Means I can be a good squirrel and go and see the mum spadgy this weekend (that was a creepy thing to type).

And APB it is. Never played it before.
