Sydney AU Gaming Meetup

[V___]

ITS HAPPENING AGAIN!! Yes, the frivolous time of year where us Aussie nerds/geeks throw caution to the wind and SOCIALISE. Traumatic as it is, we always end up with smiles on our lips, astroglide at our crotch, and our inner gamer satisfied. And so, it is my pleasure to announce....

The 2nd Sydney Australia Gaming (OCR) Meetup!!

Note that this is not an OCR meetup, it is a gaming meetup, and its being advertised on OCR. Multiple reasons for that, and I wont get into it, because I dont want to be banned. Ok so the plan this time is to actually get some gaming and remixing in. Hence, here are the details so far:

Date: Saturday 3rd March
Time: 10am
Place: Town Hall steps

10:00am - Meet. Recognise each other quickly, comparitive to last time
10:05am - Galaxy World, baby!! Arcade gaming til we'r broke or someones crying
11:30am - LUNCH!! No where super expensive or far away this time. Momma's Kitchen is an awesome pasta place a block away from Galaxy World. I'l make a reservation this time too...
12:30-1:00pm - Head back to my(semi) place in North Sydney for gaming and so forth

From here, nothings planned. Theres space for people too sleep if they dont want to head home that night. They'l be 2 TV's (projector + normal TV), stereo, 2 compies (no internet though :() sooo umm... yeh. With the 2 TV's, I personally beleive 2 Wii's (with 6 Wii controllers) and 1 DC will be satisfactory. I'l bring my Wii and as many remotes as I can

LIST OF THINGS TO BRING

[FiremanJoe]

Count me in!
Put me down for DS, GC (games/controllers), ..and I can bring those dvds of mp3s if you like. =P

[Dunnowhathuh]

Yeh, I've always got issues with important last minute things randomly showing up. So far there's nothing that I know of that will stop me from going. If something does, it'll either be because of uni or an all hands on deck call for Chinese New Year lion dancing. I'll give a weeks notice if any of that crap does happen though. Other then that, I'll try to get a couple of friends to come along. By the way, was it just a coincidence that you guys decided to have this meetup on the same day as the Mardi Gras?

If needed, I'll try to bring my two DC and Wii controllers. I won't be able to stay till late because of Shaolin the next morning, plus Mardi Gras means a lot of hustle and bustle so I'll probably head home late afternoon to try and avoid getting stuck in the mass of people. I guess I'll have to be the one to spot you guys since none of you know what I look like haha. If you see a short asian guy approach you asking for free chocolate, it's probably me.

Nice, I'm in. Won't see if I can get people to tag along either.
Got a Wii, 2 controllers and games available to bring.

He'll pop up on msn sooner or later. Joe or me should be able to catch him if you forget.

[watkinzez]

Confirmed a friend who can come. Still waiting from Dave.

Hey guys

Bad news...

Alot of stuff has come up in my life, and I'm gonna have to say I wont be there for the meetup. I'd say we could delay it, but these things could take a while to clear up.....

By all means, if people are still up for meeting do so, this isnt a cancelation of the entire event.... But me, the most AWESOME person you could ever meet, will not be there, and my place wont be available for afterwards.

Again, really sorry...


:(

[Dunnowhathuh]

Hmmm, that's quite a pickle. Well, I'm fine with posponing if you guys are. With AB and now V out of action, we might as well wait for a day when we can all show up, whenever that may be. I don't mind either way honestly.

[watkinzez]

Ah. Bugger.

[Dunnowhathuh]

Are we posponing this one guys?

EDIT: I have an exam on Tuesday that I know literally almost nothing about so I'm thinkin about jumping ship (again....sorry....again). Right now, I'm all for posponing unless you guys left going insist it should go ahead.
