London Casino Crew meets (RIP the Arcade)

[Mills]

If we can get it installed that is. I just think if John's (casino operator/owner) son can install the game.

[spadgy]

the pc is down at home... so i'm doing a sly and checking this forum at work...

Contact has been made with Mr. CHI - if all goes well he might have a certain board in his possession on Weds

WATCH THIS SPACE...

Awesome news - perhaps I'll stop threatening Skykid with a PM (Sorry I've been useless on this front - moving house, busy work and my recent holiday (just got back) rather got in my way). (Although maybe we could go with Bakraid too!

And thanks so much Chi_Ryu - I'm happy to share/take responsibility for this game while it's in. And If Chi's busy I'll gladly meet you etc. I'll also handle getting the board back if needed. Anyway I can help at all! You are our saviour at a time when we need it!

Also - Anybody down tomorrow or tonight (Thursday would be best for me!).

See you all soon!

[Taylor]

I might be down Friday, which is neither of those dates :P

[dan76]

I'm also down on friday, between 6 - 7.

[spadgy]

Crap bags - I don't think I can make Friday.

However, towards the end of July my wife is off to Ghana for six weeks, so I'll be there every bloody night of the week! Perfect timing for Ketsui's arrival I hope!

[CHI]

ok... a big BIG thanks to Chi-Ryu once again for his kindness and generosity... i now have the Ketsui in my possession...
i will have this monster game back in casino for a couple more shots before it goes back to the owner... October... once i catch the engineer that is

Spadgy: any chance for Shock Troopers and Fighting Hawk you will get your Turbo Force back...
say sometime next week wednesday onwards after 6pm, please text me to let me know

[spadgy]

Of course CHI. Both can go in. However, I'm away next week, so it will have to be the following week.

From that point on though, I'll be there all the time - let's make Casino busy again!

Texting you now CHI!

[dan76]

can't make tonight - Good news about Ketsui though, I need all the help I can get on that one. So, are thursdays still the main night for shmups?

[spadgy]

Thursdays are good for me... I'm usually conned into that going out partying malarky on Friday's!

[Skykid]

Lol, bloody timewasters you lot!

[Mills]

Lol, bloody timewasters you lot!

When the weather is this good, to hell with casino this weekend.

[Ravid]

When Ketsui gets installed I'll definitely be making a few more visits to Casino.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the Casino, I plan on going tomorrow but I don't want to waste my time! Does anyone know the opening days & times for Casino?

Thanks,
Daryl

[Taylor]

It's open every day until ~11pm (it can stay open a bit longer if it's busy). Not sure when it opens, but it's sometime in the morning. Play it safe, I guess.
It's currently lacking its most popular games (people would rather play SSFIV, Tekken 6 board is busted), so it might be dead though. Friday is definitely the most popular day.

[Smraedis]

I'd like to come down when I'm not busy, around the end of August, any time in September.
That is still a while away, so maybe we could aim for a meet around that time?

Ketsui would be a great game for us. (Thanks Chi) Fighting Hawk, is that aimed for me or something?

Edit: Thinking about August 27-29

[Taylor]

You not coming down for SVB?

[Smraedis]

Sadly I won't be there, as I come back from holiday a few days before SVB, which also means I wouldn't be able to get the time off work.
I've been having a rest from fighting games, but I'll be back on them and will most likely be at events next year.

[codergames]

Hey guys I'm new here. We don't have anything similar to The Casino Arcade in my country ... I wish we had thought.

[spadgy]

I think Skykid might mean us (me) fannying him about trying to borrow one of his boards. Sorry if I wasted your time mate!

Great to hear you'll be back Ravid. I'm looking forward to it being busy again!

Ketsui would be a great game for us. (Thanks Chi) Fighting Hawk, is that aimed for me or something?

I'd love to see you play that one through. You've got a pretty tasty score right?

And yes - lets think about a meet late August...

[Chi_Ryu]

No worries, boys - enjoy it

As I mentioned to CHI, I don't need the board back until the R3PLAY expo in Blackpool (6-7 November, as it's being lent there), so late October works for me.

Ketsui got rinsed at the German Meet. emphatic played it all day, all night and all the next day. Yes that's right, he didn't sleep, he just played Ketsui for a few days.

[Mills]

Chi, should be back on Wednesday i think.

By then hopefully me and CHI will have bought a Pork board between us or something! Thanks again by the way Chi_Ryu.

My Shock Troopers and Fighting Hawk should be in by Wednesday next week. I'm at the Develop Conference in Brighton this week (you going down Taylor or Skykid?).

[Taylor]

I was asked if I wanted to go, and said no :)

[spadgy]

Shame - it was a good laugh at times - hard bloody work but of all the conferences it's certainly got one of the nicest atmospheres. Tim Schafer's talk was like good stand up comedy.

Anyway - I'll be in Wednesday, clutching a Shock Troopers cart and the tiny Fighting Hawk PCB...

[Sapz]

Was in London earlier today and decided to pop in here with a few friends and see what it was like. Was very surprised/pleased to see DDP II, I'd never played it before, so that was a lot of fun - got destroyed by stage 5 and 6 though. Will definitely try to make another visit at some point, especially if there's some Ketsui to be had!

[mr_m0nks]

Hey gentlemen long time no see,

Things have been a little hectic atm but I have now finished my degree (mr_m0nks BA Hons no less) and am now looking for a real job (boo!)


Anyway I should be in London on Friday to return some books and stuff to Uni, I'm sure I can find the time to pop into Casino during the evening.

[Skykid]

I'm at the Develop Conference in Brighton this week (you going down Taylor or Skykid?).

Crap, if I'd actually known you were going I would have been there to say hi. I normally go but I'm on my lonesome and I couldn't be bothered this year.

Should have called me or something.

[spadgy]

I have now finished my degree (mr_m0nks BA Hons no less) and am now looking for a real job (boo!)

We done! I'll honestly keep an ear out for you! And see you soon. My wife's off to Ghana for six weeks, so I'll be down Casino plenty soon (and if you need a sofa to crash on, I've even got a one-and-a-half bedroom gaff now!

And Skykid - sorry mate. I probably would have barely seen you anyway. It was crazy busy for me. On Wednesday I did a 9am to 2am shift! The Jagex CEO Mark did let me start up his tank though, so it was all worth it!


And Sapz - welcome to Casino!

Thursday is the traditional meet up evening, but this week it maybe Wednesday when...

Shock Troopers, Fighting Hawk and mother fucking Ketsui is going in (if The Engineer is there)!

[Ravid]

I'll pop in on Weds, what time will you be getting the stuff installed?

Congrats on your degree mr_monks, I just finished mine as well
