Buy a ticket instead ;)
Ten just to clarify james (RedBird on the forums) is allowed to come with us on weds yes, he just has to share a console with either me or mike?? I really hope so cos i've already told him its okay for him to come as i thought you said it was alright, but i dont see him on the list?http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/42.gif
Groovy stuff Ten, I think I know where I'm going since I got so hideously lost last time, basically, walk around for 2 hours and find a taxi office only for them to tell you that the place is behind a sign, worked pretty well so far, didn't have a clue how I got back, I just kept walking and next thing I know, I'm home. :D
Looking forward to meeting you too, Jack.

seeing as I'm going to both resi and MH3 do I have to leave between sessions or can I just camp in a corner somewhere with my PSP?

If everything goes according to plan and I attend, I'll do a review of the day like last time, more than likely the following day...
...Also, I won't sneak out pizza, I will, however, devour it on your behalf.
Wait, there's pizza's involved in these gigs?
Next time, host'm on a friday, and I'll be over before you can say "But can't you get a pizza in Belgium?" !

sarcasm doesn't translate very well as text....games are great and all but theres gotta be somed point when you need to switch them off.
I'll be leaving soonish, Hammersmith is only a couple stops away on the train for me

Hey, well I'm back and have been for like hmm 40 minutes or more, but am completely dead.....looks like I got turned during the resi event. Grrrrrr.
Anyways, just wanted to say thanks a lot for the day Ten, sorry if I was annoying with the t-shirt, but I think you forgave me. :p
Also, thanks very much tubemole, and the random dark haired capcom guy who I didn't know. Was awesome, and the pizza was amazing. :D
Will try and type up something about the day tomorrow, when my mind is working properly. In the meantime I need a lot of sleep lol.
Sorry RagingAvatar (and friend), Shadowrep (and friend), Sin (and friend's, maybe gf? lol), and ice climber for not being able to say bye properly. I managed to wave Chaos and his friend off, as they were outside when I went, so that was good. Was needing the toilet before my long train journey home, but hey I'll see you all again. :)
Was cool meeting everyone, glad we all had a great time, and see you soon no doubt. ;)
I signed up! I shall no longer branded + 1. thanks again for a great day and all the nice gifts, particularly the okamiden fan. :)
Good to see you all guys, glad you had fun :D
It was nice to finally get the chance to play with some of you :horray:

Whoop! Yesterday was Awesome!
I'm Cortez's brother.. Thought i signed up already but i can't find it.. so i joined again!
Just HAVE to say.. Man that resident evil gave me such a hArb on...
Hahaaaaa :)

09-10-09, 12:00
Nice to see you liked it mate and you both got there easily!Can you imagine going through the whole game with two people?!It would be insane trying to see who blows up what or bursts zombie heads... :p
Also zombie reactions on a certain site!YES!
Just wanna say tbh, Thanks for everyone who went yesterday and the hosts for making it so awesome!
Innit bwoiii chyeeeeeeeeeeeeeahhh!
I'm now a forum n00b as i had to make a new account.. that sucks major grandad balls.
Ohh and to guy above.. Yeah t'was good to find it easy! Nick said you'd help us if we got lost, so thanks for that!
Best thing of the day.. Zombie t-shirt! Who needs a halloween outfit now?? I'm blatantly gonna wear it when i go see zombieland hopefully tonight! Haha!
CaptainCortez
09-10-09, 16:12
Yea, thanks very much for that Charmed. Hopefully see you on the next event, eh? :)
Thanks a lot again Chiara, was a great day. I had a go on Monster Hunter, even though I'm not a huge fan, and I've got to say it's pretty fun on 4 player. Wasn't too keen on single player, but tbh it seems more of a multiplayer game, so that's cool.
Resi was also fun, and I like the fact that there are three campaigns on it, all very reminiscent of the original games that they were based on. Code Veronica seemed the most fun, but then that was one of my favourite games on the Dreamcast. :D
Thanks for an awesome time everyone. The pizza was amazing, we were spoilt for choice with the drinks, and prizes and raffle thing was pretty good fun. I made my Dragon last night anyway!
Was good chatting with everyone, and it's nice that all of the Capcom staff talk to us all, instead of just being there to watch and make sure we all behave properly.
Had a good chat with you Ten, and had a blast on both games. Can't wait for Resi Alternative Edition, Dead Rising 2 and Devil May Cry 5 events, when they all turn up...............plus the Christmas party if it's still going ahead. ;)
Pretty happy I got talking to everyone though. You all seemed like a decent bunch, and I just figure it's nice to get everyone involved, so I don't mind making the effort to speak to you all individually. :)
Glad everyone else liked it too. Was a really awesome day, even if I was half dead, but the drinks kept me awake enough. Caffeine did it's job properly. :p
Got a phonecall today from Gamestation, too. They said that would it be possible for me to go to an interview on tuesday.........so it's all good news. If I get the job, it'll be even better news,as then I could have a bit of money to save up and use, whilst looking for any testing jobs to try and get into the industry.
I have it all figured out, but it all depends on whether it goes my way or not. :p
Have a good week guys and girls!
Nice to see you here, Chris :)
And well done you, Mr Cortez! See, it's the Capcom good karma :thumb: I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you ;)
CaptainCortez
09-10-09, 16:46
Haha, thanks Ten! I'll keep you updated, but hopefully it'll all be good. :D
I'm liking "Capcom Good Karma". :p
chaosriotzero
09-10-09, 18:18
so what did I win for highest Resi evil score? can it be something monster hunter related cos I freakin love that game
Silence noob.. we all know i won... obviously.
Although as we were the only two to actually bother competing, i think we both deserve a prize.. don't you? Hahaha!
About the score.. Let's just say that Chris won.. yeah? No surnames or gamertags needed? it was chris! That could be me.. that could be you... hmmmmm
charmed699
09-10-09, 19:03
What's this about a raffle?What has been mentioned must be explained!
"Chriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis! " :p
chaosriotzero
09-10-09, 19:22
yeah but my 20k beat your 19.....muwohooohahaahaaa!!!!
Finally home thanks alot Chiara, all the Capcom team and everyone that turned up .....it was great to have a first play (although i didn't great to play Monster Hunter 3 :( ) and have a good banter about all things Nintendo and Capcom!
Luv to hear about more events like this!
If you guys got a PS3 add my PSn: R_Navarro (I was the short guy in the green leather jacket)
charmed699
09-10-09, 19:39
You got 20K? Was this on the chapter for the 2nd game or at the bank?! :D
chaosriotzero
09-10-09, 19:52
erm....challenge was Operation Javier (third mission) on hard.
I nearly died sooo many times trying to kill that stoopid boss with only a pistol but I managed to finish him off before he got me. and yeah 20K, not to easy to get for me, I had such sweaty hands afterward
charmed699
09-10-09, 20:04
Well done and even more as that level didn't seem to have many zombies to shoot. :)
chaosriotzero
09-10-09, 20:24
yeha the trick was to shoot all the jars near the beggining as they had loads of coins and a couple umbrella symbols in them
That's true, shooting the jars was a good idea :) I got the umbrella things too!
I got 20k on the first level, 25k on second, and i think i got about 22k first time on 3rd level, but that time round i chose to be clever and lost :( I used pistol on all zombies and the spiders and saved all my ammo and grenades for the boss, problem - I threw all grenades, used all shotgun, then switched to machine gun.. so by the time we left the building it was in he was nearly dead.. but for some reason doing it quickly seems to give you less points.. i guess the pistol gives you more as it takes more skill.. :( daihmmmmit! Wait.. Damnn you Chris! Lol
Whoop Whoop!
CaptainCortez
09-10-09, 23:42
Damn it lol. I got 15,110 on code veronica, and 10,100 or something on Operation Javier.............didn't know the coins gave you points, nor did I know that shooting the jars was a good idea.
I just thought the umbrella icons were random collectibles, and that the coins were just currency for upgrading weapons, and not going towards your final score.
Silly me. :(
Lol.
Charmed - We were given a number to choose from randomly (paper was upside down, so we didn't know what number we would get), then whatever number we had, corresponded with a prize.
Mine was number 8, which won me a Kinder egg typed build it yourself Monster from Monster Hunter. The toy itself was about seven times bigger than a kinder egg toy, and more collectible lol.
chaosriotzero
10-10-09, 15:52
yeah im so jelous of your prize, I wanted the monster hunter stuff! I got a screen wipe of my psp/ds that is gonna come in handy anyways, plus I got that sweet little keychain of a felyne that i put on my phone...nya!

Hey, I got the signed PSP cover. Still signed stuff is always cool.

I got one of those from the gathering hall, pretty cool little case!
Hey Ten, when are the photos being put up?
CaptainCortez
12-10-09, 00:19
Haha, ah well, we all got something though. :D
Yea, it was unfortunate that there weren't enough felyne phone charms to go around. I kinda felt a little bit bad for getting the last one, even though it landed in my crotch, so people stayed away from it. XD
was a great day though, and I'm sure I'll see you all again soon. :)
Hey Ten, when are the photos being put up?
I'm hoping tomorrow - today is catch up day (45 unopened emails in my inbox :blink:) and 2 long meetings...
CaptainCortez
12-10-09, 11:20
That sounds like a day full of ouch!
2 long boring meetings, and 47 emails lol. Madness, though I don't delete my emails, and therefore have like 6000 odd. :(
