Awesome!
Your garage is not messy until you see mine lol… I have a Mustang convertible with a bad rack and OD-less AOD that has become a shelf

(I really really should get that car fix and on the road…)

Sorry to hear that you are unable to make it to future gatherings

If it looks like you will have a free weekend in the future, please let us know and we will accommodate

We should set a big meet for this summer!

Yeah Sonic I would love to have a Shmup/game meet up here in the northern wastes one of these days but I understand it's a damn long haul coming up from the Detriot area. But if you guys ever think you'd want to make the treck I have plenty of room, cabs, tv's etc. and I literally live 5 min off I-75.

She's home and in her natural place now.

For mrtie,

I don't mind travel - perhaps we can get everyone together to go out that way sometime in the future!

Sonic R · Post by **Sonic R** » Wed Apr 29, 2009 9:57 pm

ALERT
My friend is in town and as always, I will be throwing together a quick gathering. We are scheduled to gather this Saturday, May 2, 2009 at my home, in the dungeon.

Here is the schedule:

Gathering time set to begin at 6 o'clock pm

Things to bring:
Favorite controller or arcade stick
Favorite beverage
any games you wish to play and show of

Sorry for short notice, and if not able to make attendance, there is full understanding

Davey · Post by **Davey** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 1:03 am

I'll probably come up, I don't think I have any plans.

Ayanami · Post by **Ayanami** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 5:56 am

Oh snap. Sounds like some Outrun will have to be played.

I have not been on Xbox for a little while. Have ya taken down my scores yet Davey?

Since there's no local multiplayer, should I bring my 360? I don't know if anybody else bought this (if not, they should!).

Perhaps...

Sonic R · Post by **Sonic R** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 9:28 pm

Man, I need to get me Outrun XBLA! I been playing other versions for the past weeks (SMS, Genesis, and Outrun 2 on Xbox) I want to get in this score chase…

For Davey,
Glad to have you come, I don't have your number so I couldn't send out a text

You may bring your 360 if you like, at least the HDD for sure. I think my friend JR mentioned he will have his 360 but not sure, and I imagine Ayanami will bring his 360 and monitor?

And I get this in the post today

How far North are you? I live in the UP, and I've been interested in attending one of these meets someday.

good seeing/meeting everyone at Jazz's tonight, good times

Some of you guys need to start liking some GOOD fighting games (tekken, guilty gear, hell I'd even accept doa or arcana heart lol)

Also, I couldn't help but notice that other 360 hard drive getting achievements on Jazz's j360...yeah...being the achievement whore that I am, I think I might have to cash in on that

lol

time to get my self esteem boost with outrun

tommyb · Post by **tommyb** » Sun May 03, 2009 2:24 pm

Was good to see everyone and my friend had a good time too.
We will see everyone next time!

Hope everyone had great fun and a wonderful time

For Davey, let me know about that Agetec stick

For DT, You can bring your HDD anytime if you'd like to get some shooting achievements

I'm going to try to get me Out Run XBLA soon!

For MR_Soren,

I'll bring it with me next time I come up. If you and Ayanami want to get in a bidding war over it, I'm totally cool with that.

And I get this in the post today

How is it? I sadly cheaped out and got air bubble shipping so I am playing the waiting game still.

Davey · Post by **Davey** » Sun May 03, 2009 9:30 pm

Everybody seemed to love it last night. I think the general consensus is that it's a pretty accurate port.

So you want me to get Pink Sweets SonicR? Well if there anything in my list you can't live without you can help the cuase, if I even sell a 1/3 of that by friday Pink Sweets is for sure.

tommyb · Post by **tommyb** » Mon May 04, 2009 1:24 am

Been playin a little OutRun tonight, and I'm confused as to why it says OutRun 2 in the lower right corner at certain loading screens? Is this just a some-what port of Outrun 2?

And, Davey and Ayanami, your scores are stupid. I can't beat them. YET!

tommyb · Post by **tommyb** » Thu May 07, 2009 1:19 am

I've heard rumors of this Saturday?

Hey Sonic, do you have that Saturn to DC converter that was with my twin sticks? I can't remember if I lent it to you with the twin sticks or not. Not that I really need it any time soon, I'm just wondering.

It looks like this: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-h5-49-en-70-46.html

Yup.
It was in my controller pile under the consoles. Sorry about that

Davey · Post by **Davey** » Thu May 07, 2009 4:59 pm

No worries, I haven't even hooked up my Saturn or Dreamcast since I moved into my apartment, and that was in July or August. I just wanted to make sure I didn't lose it.

zero.otaku · Post by **zero.otaku** » Sun May 10, 2009 9:59 pm

mrtie: Damn, that Egret is sexy. I'd definitely be willing to make the drive up to Saginaw to hang out with you guys and play some cabs and drink beer. I commute 45 minutes each way to work and I drive all day doing deliveries so heading up there would be nothing for me.

quizknows · Post by **quizknows** » Mon May 11, 2009 11:04 pm

speaking of DC agetec sticks, since I sanwa modded mine, I happen to have 2 sets of agetec buttons laying around if anyone has a use for them.

also, I'm sure you guys have resident stick modders or just do the stuff yourselves since you've got cabs, but I do occasional work on older consoles/sticks just FYI.

ubersaurus · Post by **ubersaurus** » Tue May 12, 2009 6:04 am

I was in Chicago the past weekend and snagged a Turbo Duo Arcade Card for some Sapphire action. Fun little game! Perhaps I'll have to bring those along to the next meet I make, assuming someone else hasn't already beaten me to the punch

tommyb · Post by **tommyb** » Tue May 12, 2009 4:04 pm

When's the next meet? The past two weeks kinda threw me off :p

Thanks for posting it! I can guarantee you that, judging by your final comment, if that's you, then I'm probably positively *abysmal*.

Still, liked the commentary.

Thanks I'm still a relative shmups newbie, but I plan on getting a lot more footage now that I have this little camera and how well the picture quality turns out. I think if I can be bothered I may get to editing and put together some video reviews of the boards I own.
