Once every 3 to 4 months. We normally go until 2 am or so...

I'll be coming...got the address from Kiken. Just trying to figure out what time and if I need to bring anything gamewise. Of course, I'll be bringing my 3DS for a street pass or two.

Somebody bring Caladrius...I still have not got a shipping notice from AmiAmi and doubt mine will arrive by saturday.
That's odd, I paid for mine the same time you did and it cleared customs earlier this afternoon. Should be in my PO box by Saturday morning.
NCSX sent me my shipping confirmation earlier today. I should have the game tomorrow afternoon.

I have a launch model Japanese Saturn. We're good on that front.

Cool. I'm going to bring my big huge saturn stick I recently installed a one-player Seimitsu astro panel into.

Hi all - Kelsey here. Friend of Vac from today.

Thanks for letting us hang out! I, of course, felt completely over my head since the level that you guys dissect this genre is much more advanced than I am right now. However, you all gave me a small list of games to try out that will hopefully break my mental block on how to get into the right series.

I'll also be reading this forum now, asking/taking advice, and going from there. Maybe at the next meet up I'll have more to add to the conversation, and will have some skill at the games.

Cheers.

This time StarCreator had both a pre-dinner nap and a post-dinner nap. If this trend continues he will eventually show up, fall asleep immediately and then sleep through the entire meet, except for when he wakes up to eat dinner.

We're waiting for him to fall asleep either on the way to the front door, or miss entirely because he was asleep :lol:

I didn't leave a PS2->PS3 converter there did I? I seem to be missing mine, last I saw it it was in my yellow bag.

Necrobump!

Really sorry I never had a chance to say thank you for having us over, shortly after the meet I had a death in the family that's really taken up a lot of my time.

But yeah, just wanted to say THANKS! :)
