London Casino Crew meets (RIP the Arcade)

[dan76]

At last, someone I agree with!

I'll be in town later today, so might drop in.

EDIT: Brought a plant instead - see you all tuesday.
DOUBLE EDIT:

Also picked up DFK Rez BL, it's not as bad as I remember it being

WTF - Explain yourself man.

[Illyrian]

When I first played the BL disc, I basically didn't like it at all. I much preferred ketsuipachi.

Since I got Rez, I've tried it again this weekend and now I have a better understanding of the scoring system and the levels, I'm enjoying it a lot more.

[spadgy]

Tuesday this week then huh?

I'll be there.

And Skyk... that thread about stuffs and their values has been a sticky for ages innit?

[Illyrian]

I'll be down tomorrow evening from 16:25

[Aliquantic]

This observer wonders if you still have DFK 1.5 in Casino and plan for it to stick around? I'm tempted to get it again next month and I was curious to know if I could expect the game to be around still when I drop by in the UK again... I haven't touched STGs in forever though, so I need some sort of motivation (Fighting games are addictive...)

[spadgy]

I'm out the country all next week, so no Casino for me.

Anyway; let's talk game installing options:

I can bring in ESPrade any time. (In place of DDP or Mushi maybe? Any complaints about that?).

I'm also keen to install Outzone. (On the main sit-down cab, just for a month or two ?. Or it could go where DDP is).

We could still take up Skykid on the offer of a sexy PCB! (Something for the main sitdown)

I'm certainly not flogging that banner, so if I were to buy a pricy PCB (I want Pork!) it would have to be come December time. (In the main sit-down once we're done with Outzone being there .

I can take away DDP and/or DOJ whenever we want.

[Illyrian]

Outzone could be good!

I'll have to try that on mame later, I think I remember you saying that the 2 player in Outzone is really good?

I personally have no objection to DOJ not being in the main cab but that's just my opinion.

[dan76]

Wasn't there a chap(ish) pork in the trading forum recently?

For what it's worth I vote ESPrade in the sit down (either that or one of Skykid's boards as discussed - ESPgaluda??? - not sure what you've got).

Outzone might be a fun change though. Got to admit these days when I arrive in the arcade I don't really want to play much. It's not the games so much as the awful joysticks and screens. For me DDP and Mushi may as well not be there.

Also - where's Charlie Chong?

[hzt]

Aliquantic probably someone told you already but just in case DFK isn't in, Taylor didn't make it down in the end.

I can bring in ESPrade any time. (In place of DDP or Mushi maybe? Any complaints about that?).

Yes ESPrade sucks

Outzone would be amazing in the sit down cab but remember the player 2 stick is really bad, maybe DDP cab would be better. We should steal Skykid's pork for the sitdown.

Also I'm going to have some cash around the beginning of next year and if I see one I'm going to buy Pink Sweets.

Also - where's Charlie Chong?

I was wondering this, hope you're good if you're reading Charlie.

[spadgy]

Good point. Charlie... where are you?

He had offered Garagga (or was it APB?).

There was a Pork kit on AO from a great seller (BigSasquatch) but it's on hold now.

Alternatively I could get an Espgaluda or Espgaluda II PCB come December.

And I see hzt's got his eye on Pink Sweets. We'll be spoiled for choice.

EDIT: hzt - do you honestly dislike ESPrade? I know lots of others (MX7 being one, were up for it. We could put it in where DDP goes. CHI - are you still into DDP?).

And finally, dare I suggest meeting tomorrow night? I might be free.

[hzt]

He had offered Garagga (or was it APB?).

it's like 2 pages ago are you actually too lazy to even look

Obviously I don't really object to you putting ESPrade in but I won't be playing it if you do. It is more the fact that for some reason I struggle with it more than any other shmup I have ever played (I'm not exaggerating) than actual dislike though.

I'm out of London tomorrow.

[Aliquantic]

Aliquantic probably someone told you already but just in case DFK isn't in, Taylor didn't make it down in the end.

Oh thanks, no I didn't know that, and sorry to hear it didn't go through (And that there was apparently no improvement to the sticks/buttons, as Dan says)

[Illyrian]

Spadgy I'd recommend against getting espgaluda II, in my opinion it's far too finicky to score with, where as Espgaluda I is just in general really good fun.

[dan76]

Er... there's a DFK Black Label kit in the trading section... anyone want to go in on it?(!!!!!!!!!)

- I'm only kind of half joking.

[hzt]

950 Euro, Google says that's 813.55 Pounds.

So if 4 people put in £200 each, and I put in the £13.55, we can do it!

[Illyrian]

[spadgy]

If Illyrian's still drunk and feeling carefree, let's get him to treat us to that DFK:BL board!

Also, we love you too mate, you big fucking softie!

[dan76]

Anyone in tomorrow? I'll be there around 6.

[CHI]

me and Skykid should be there about that time...

[spadgy]

Skykid would sneak his way in when I'm out the country. I'll get you next time Skid!

[Illyrian]

Won't be down today as I started work at 06:30 and I'm half dead right now.

Edit:
This arrived today



and here is Tab - TN casually getting very close to his own world record. Video quality is pretty good as well.

[Skykid]

Next time.

[CHI]

i've been transfered to Mayfair until further notice... so i won't be around as much... but i'll be down this tuesday coming

[spadgy]

That's a shame CHI. Oh well; hopefully it's a good move for your career.

Anyway, I'll be down Tuesday this week too.

[dan76]

I'm out of London - see you all next week.

[JDE]

I'll be in tomorrow from 5:00 PM onwards. And Spadgy, I'm done with the game you lent me so I'll bring that for you - many thanks for letting me borrow it.

[spadgy]

No worries! Thanks for Royal Space Force: Wings of the Honneamise. I adored almost every second (only that less that pleasant 'sexual encounter' scene disappointed me. If that didn't cloud my enjoyment of the movie, it would be an all time favourite (and so many Right Stuff parallels. Excellent stuff!).

Anyway, see you tomorrow punks!

[hzt]

All right, so who did this:

It's ok, you can tell us, we won't judge you.
