MD/VA/DC Shmupmeet Summer 2013
We're already into July so I guess this would be a good time to start planning for August. What Saturday would work for everyone?

Just got home yesterday, stuck in San Francisco for over a day. Still waiting on my luggage, actually.Kiken wrote:We're already into July so I guess this would be a good time to start planning for August. What Saturday would work for everyone?
I've got a wedding the last weekend of August but as of right now the rest are still open.

Re: MD/VA/DC Shmupmeet Summer 2013
Welcome back (almost)!
Otakon falls on the weekend of the 10th and I'm most likely going to be out of town on the 3rd as well (though this isn't as definite at the moment). Not seeing anything else on my schedule right now.

Re: MD/VA/DC Shmupmeet Summer 2013
So I guess the 17th or the 24th are the possible dates.

Sorry I meant the 24th last weekend, not the last weekend shared with the first weekend of September.Kiken wrote:So I guess the 17th or the 24th are the possible dates.

So, see you guys on the 17th?
Re: MD/VA/DC Shmupmeet Summer 2013 (Aug 17th)
I guess that narrows it down to the 17th then. So the 17th it is.
Re: MD/VA/DC Shmupmeet Summer 2013

Just to get dinner plans rolling BEFORE dinner time on the 17th, Kiken suggested we try Sushi Chalet some day. Buffet, with buffet-quality, but no line whenever we've gone. Y/N? A/S/L?

Re: MD/VA/DC Shmupmeet Summer 2013
Does it actually look like a chalet? Either way, I'm in.
Also I think Daikijin is going to be able to come this time.

Re: MD/VA/DC Shmupmeet Summer 2013
Buffet...sushi? Uhhhhhh.
Actually, probably ok. My South Louisiana upbringing made me suspicious of sushi for a long time (you eat something raw that came out of the water? You're going to die tomorrow!).
Any interest in trying to do some streaming? I can bring my capture+scaler stuff over if we want to try. And I mean the games, not the sushi buffet.

Re: MD/VA/DC Shmupmeet Summer 2013
FTR, they also serve soup and tempura and such on the not-strictly-sushi table, if cooked is your thing

Sure, we can try to do some streaming... so long as our internet connection decides to play dice. If need be, I can move my computer and stuff into my room temporarily and you can set up at my computer desk. You may want to bring some additional S-Video and stereo audio cables though... I do have an A/V booster that takes both Composite and S-Vid so we don't have to worry about signal degradation or frame delay from the source. Do we want to try mixing in audio of us chatting while playing (I do have a fairly sensitive PC mic)?
Minzoku did pick up a new camera recently that's significantly better than her old one... takes much nicer photos and handles a variety of HD video footage modes.
Also, I got confirmation from Crybringer, he'll be coming too.

Re: MD/VA/DC Shmupmeet Summer 2013
Bringing brightsuzaku and I think Yes Boss was in too (but I'll poke him again).
Re: MD/VA/DC Shmupmeet Summer 2013
Yep, down again.
Just to confirm it will be the 17th, saturday?
Looking for anybody who can hook me up with an Instant Brain/Dodonpachi save file! Also, the only new PCB I've gotten in Battle Bakraid Unlimited. I can bring that.

Re: MD/VA/DC Shmupmeet Summer 2013
nZero would be the most likely to still have an Instant Brain save with Dodonpachi unlocked. I also still have the videos of us attempting to play it with Kinect that I never quite figured out how to join together.
Should I borrow the Kinect again?

Re: MD/VA/DC Shmupmeet Summer 2013
I've got a Kinect...shamefully.
Actually never used it. My place in Germany was too small. My place here in Frederick is likewise too small.

Re: MD/VA/DC Shmupmeet Summer 2013
StarCreator, please bring your Dat Triple... I wanna put a solid score on the US leaderboards for PS3 Under Defeat HD (I've got plenty of video cables for Sony hardware, so don't worry about those.. but please bring a controller convertor if you have one... or a PS3 compatible stick).

Re: MD/VA/DC Shmupmeet Summer 2013
I was planning on bringing it for Ketsui anyway - we can check out the superplay that comes with it too if you guys want. Do you have a PSN account? You're free to make one on mine if you don't.
I have two PS3 sticks at the moment, the Fighting Edge and the Mini (cute yet useless little thing). I also have two PS2->PS3 converters.

Re: MD/VA/DC Shmupmeet Summer 2013
Sure, I'll put the save on the memory card (if it's not still there) and bring that. Maybe someone better than me at Nin2-Jump can finish S-ranking all of the levels.StarCreator wrote:nZero would be the most likely to still have an Instant Brain save with Dodonpachi unlocked.

Re: MD/VA/DC Shmupmeet Summer 2013
For snacks, we picked up deli swirls and some Pepsi Throwback (so yeah, real sugar). StarCreator, do we know if BrightSuzaku will be doing any baking?

What do I need to bring to get that on my system? My own old school memory card? Or my J-360?

If your 360 has the memory unit slots we could plug his memory unit in directly to copy it to the hard drive. Otherwise, if you have a USB stick formatted for use in 360 we can transfer it over to that.Yes Boss! wrote:Yes, please bring that save file!

Ok, to be safe I'll also bring my older J-360 (that takes the old format memory cards) as well as bring my old format memory card.
Do we need a Seimitsu stick? I've got a few...could bring the eightard/qanba if needed.

Re: MD/VA/DC Shmupmeet Summer 2013
If you have a memory unit already, that should be all you need. Feel free to bring the 360 and sticks if you want to game on it; I'm probably only bringing the PS3 this time.Yes Boss! wrote:Ok, to be safe I'll also bring my older J-360 (that takes the old format memory cards) as well as bring my old format memory card.

Bring that X360 hard drive transfer cable too so I can borrow it, thanks.StarCreator wrote:If you have a memory unit already, that should be all you need.
