jonny5 meet - 1 last time, May 5th - WE PLAY!!

[jonny5]

Do I have to do anything besides play the games(and crush all of your scores ) as captain?

[brendz]

Im in for team WWJ5D. I might miss a week if thats cool due to being at parents place with no cabs/computer.

Yea for the beach on saturday. Anyone got a gameboy and solar striker to keep the shmupmeet going on beach?

[damakable]

I've decided I'm also in for the team. Like brendz I'll be gone for a week though, starting with the August long weekend... so, darn, the first week of competition. I'm going camping, and I really shouldn't bring my laptop even though that would let me play. My family will be upset with me if I spend the whole week playing games. Maybe I could get away with telling them it's just in case an emergency comes up at work...

I'm also up for going to the beach. I'm back on my bike and need a good reason to go for a ride this weekend. And you know I never show up before 3 anyhow, so that's not a problem.

Oh, and jonny5, the team captain's only responsibility is to vote on the next game to play within the two days before each week. Somehow I think you can handle that!

You better hope Nightmare in the Dark doesn't somehow make the list

I can try and get something going on the PSP. Still trying to sort out how to hack it. I acquired a shitload of games.

[Udderdude]

I do have a bike, but gotta dig it out of the basement and inflate tires, etc.

If we are going down there, I'm not bringing any swimming stuff .. lol.

Although they are calling for thunderstorms all weekend now so we shall see. Might be game playing after all.

STGT dude; Nightmare ain't no shmup!

And please keep the download talk out of this thread; they are cracking down on that shit on this forum now and I don't want any issues in this thread.

See you bitches saturday.

Ok I edited my post.

I've got Gradius Collection which is super good ... is there anything else worth getting?

Once you have it modded, get rRootage(freeware) for it; pretty much all I played on my PSP. Outrun 2006 coast to coast was pretty badass too.

Ok got it. Not bad, reminds me a lot of Warning Forever. Music is awesome.

And it has all the different modes on top of the normal mode; there is a psyvariar mode, ikaruga mode(IIRC) and one other I think, pretty sure it was Gigawing.

Awesome game!

[Udderdude]

Should we still be showing up around 3:30?

[jonny5]

show up at 3 or as close as possible. I am practicing until 2 and its only like 3 blocks from my house so I will be home well before 3.

Bring your bikes.

[shmuppyLove]

should I lock my bike up outside or bring it up?

[Udderdude]

Something came up and I'm not able to make it, sorry. D:

[shmuppyLove]

Got some really sweet pictures. Then I realized, none of us are in them.

Oh well.

[damakable]

Well, I got one of you to make up for that.



Besides, you got our bikes in the shot. That's practically the same thing.

Biking home was good for me. I'm pretty out of shape, but I (barely) made it!

Holy crap that's a long ride.

My ride home was like 5K and I was exhausted at the end, but there's a pretty big uphill coming up Logan that I underestimated.

Oh also any of the meet regulars, please sign up for STGTGGGTTTTGTGTGTGTGGGGGT. I think we only need 1 more to make the 5 member minimum.

[maxlords]

I should start making it out again soonish, hopefully for an August get together! What's this about a group competition that I can lose heinously?

[shmuppyLove]

So STD is about to start and my main desktop is basically kaput. FML

Seems like its just the Windows install, so at some point I'll suck it up and reinstall, but still its a pisser.

I'm posting this from my phone :/

[jonny5]

You seem to have bad luck with computers. Make sure to give me a nudge when this thing starts, or I will likely forget. It's not in off topic, after all.

I blame my fiancée ... she downloaded some video downloader with a virus and its been all downhill since then.

Maybe you should subscribe to the planning thread? Or you might get PMs since you're captain, I dunno.

[maxlords]

Explain the team...and I will probably join once things calm down for me in a week or two. It has been um...kind of crazed. I will elaborate at the next meet I am at

I dunno we play some games or something. Not sure how the competition works exactly, I'm sure its explained in the sign up thread.

[jonny5]

Although I noticed in the planning thread all these new kids whining that they want EVERYBODY to submit .inp's for each score!

Fuck dat noise! That's far too much work for my tastes. Hopefully that isn't the case. Bit late in the game to be making stipulations like that.

Fucking MAME kiddies. This place is totally going to hell!

[BareKnuckleRoo]

You guys need another member? Can't promise I'll be any good at whatever game's chosen, though. Been busy as hell lately.

Recording in MAME's not that bad but I don't see why they'd make it mandatory to record (thus screwing people playing in a cab, etc). I've been trying to record a 1CC of DDP2 cause the only one on YT's credit feeds and is missing the TLB, but MAME desyncs the recording if you ever have to pause, so basically you have to sit and record it in one go arcade style (and only one extra extend in the entire game, gawd). It's not like the tourney is that serious, it's more about everyone being motivated to improve their personal scores. Cheating ruins the accomplishment anyways.

yaaay drama
