View Full Version : Community Xmas party
Yup, I'm organising it for real, I wasn't kidding. Unless something beyond our control happens, it will be on Saturday 5th December in a London venue, starting at around 2pm. Unfortunately there are 2 things that some of you will be unhappy about 1) it's strictly over 18s and 2) we had to limit the spaces somehow, so it's by invitation only. The third sad thing is that unfortunately I don't have a travel expenses budget, which means that I can't even help those living abroad.
Anybody from outside the UK who would like to/can come?
Not sure if I can go. :chin:
I'll check with some friends if they can receive me or not.
Main question I have is what time would it likely be finished?
The main question is, what time are you guys going to decide you want to leave :p
I've opted for an early start on purpose as I know some people will have to travel back before it gets too late. I'd say the party will sort of finish at around 8pm but we'll still have a reserved area in the venue, we can keep going if we want to. The tab will probably be done by that time but drinks are very reasonably priced, crazy super fashionable bar prices.
Sounds kind of interesting.
Saturday is probably doable. Is it one invite each, or can we bring someone?
*edit* you said 2pm start
Is it just chilling at some bar? or like a ... party or something?
I´ll work on it! ;)
:whip:

As the places are relatively limited it's going to be one invite per person, I'm afraid.
More than just chilling, there'll be a few special things we're working on ;)

how do we get invited?... *with the most optimistic face ever*
Gah. I'm torn.
I don't know if I want to go all that way on my own. I'll see if my best friend has a house in London by then. I think it's quite far away from another of my friends.
I'd be more likely to go if Draconacticus goes, but he's in Scotland on Holiday this week.
*edit* and I did say I'd make you a cake Ten. Which means baking on a Friday night. Probably not going to happen.

You keep an eye on your inbox and pray :p Alternatively, you can send me presents - flowers, champagne and fine wines are all very welcome :D

Well I'm definitely interested in this. If it came to it, I'm sure some of us could meet at Charing X and find the venue together. If Sinister and Charmed are going, I'd arrange something with those two anyway. :)
Sounds cool and even better, the drinks are priced well. Also, helllllllllllllllllo tubemole! Lol.
1) it's strictly over 18s
:sadangel:
Although I probably couldn't make it anyway...

Can't wait to see everyone again. I feel so lonely up here. ;(
I think Christmas cards to the folks at Capcom would be a kind gesture from those invited, no? ;]
BAGSY THE RUDEST ONEEEEEE.
Off topic, but I knew you from somewhere Carbonox, and I couldn't think where. I figured it was here.
Then I remember you were on PSU years ago (I think you made at least one sticky in the MH forum). You were all over that place!

Or small christmas pressies. XD
Ten and Tubemole will probably be there, but not sure who else, apart from some of us from here, of course. :p
Of course I'll be there (and so will Mr Mole). I'm pretty sure that Leo will also turn up unless he's got previous engagements, and there will be other Capcom staff you can torment :D
Carbonox_Ratchet
19-10-09, 16:47
I have the ideal present; me in a giant christmas pudding. You wheel me in and out I pop with a Father Christmas beard and an elf mask covering my goods. It is an over 18 party anyway...ahem...
Hi Soop, you'll find me on the US PlayStation forum primarily (other than here); I get around a fair bit too due to my job.
CaptainCortez
19-10-09, 16:53
Lol, that was bad, I meant to say you would be there definitely as you're arranging it, but tubemole would probably be there with a few others.
Lol, I'm honestly not that stupid. I have brain power, but obviously forgot to use it in that statement. :p
Anybody travelling down want to get together and share a hostel? There are some quite good ones like this place:
http://www.piccadillyhotel.net/
On the 5th, a 4 bed share is £23 each and an 8 bed share is £20 each, if there are a lot of us we could book out one or more entire rooms, would make sense for guys lik jarlino and joao who i imagine will want to come.
Edit:Reception is open 24hrs a day so no worrys about partying deep into the night!
Carbonox_Ratchet
19-10-09, 17:31
I might have to take that on-board, Jack. Thanks for the info.

I don't think that's a good idea :sadno:
Carbonox_Ratchet
19-10-09, 18:01
Joao, my elf mask would be covering my bag full of goods, as I will be wearing a Father christmas beard afterall...
...ha...
....hahaha....
<.<
CaptainCortez
19-10-09, 18:05
I'm sorry Carbonox..........as wonderful as you are, I'm sorry to say that I do not approve.
No stamp of approval, no rights to do it! :p
Hmm, a stamp of approval could be quite painful if you're not going to be wearing much....plus something might go severely wrong when it gets frost bite, due to the coldness of the air. ;)
:O December 5th is actually a Dutch holiday (Sinterklaas. Google it, it's fun!), so even IF I had the money and time to come, ánd get invited, it just wouldn't happen... Too bad, it seems like SO much fun to see some Capcommers sometime! Well, have fun guys, and think of me when you see some Felyne hanging around ^^
No canoe :p
OH GOD, IT'S THE OTHER THING. :eek:
*Ahem*
I'll be there.
The holiday Blok mentioned is known but not celebrated in Belgium, and even then I'd dump it to do this with you guys. <3
Jack's idea for the shared hotel rooms is a solid one but...
I already asked a friend beforehand if I could stay at her place.
If you guys are looking for budget though, try the Turbine, I usually stay over there when I have business in London. ;)

19-10-09, 19:17
great idea Tenebra! i'd really love to be there, but it's almost impossible to me to come there!
i'll join you spiritually! :D
If I were to be invited I would come. That's IF I were to be invited. :D

Signing up for a sneaky invite are we?
EDIT: Oh. You've been here since May... Well make yourself known! Don't plague the forum with your five posts just for free stuff...
EDIT AGAIN: I've been here a month less than you and I've posted 961 times more than you...
Elite is on a mission! lol
Im really am tempted to come. It means though getting 2, 12 HOUR buses, 1 that arrives dead early in the morning roughly, and the next leaving on the opposite end of the scale the same day. But ive done that before when working for xleague so that isnt an issue.
Only thing i have though, is i dont think I could go by myself, i think i may need to have an invite for a friend if i was able to make it, because trust me, 12 hour bus rides next to strangers are not fun!! lol
12 hour bus ride?!!? thats harsh, i thank my lucky stars i live in london, and elitefreg, no need to get angry, this isnt one of those things ppl can just sign up to the forum and then turn up at the xmas do, invite only means just that
oh and im free for this, but i might not be able to make it for 2pm

I'm not a big forum person tbh, I only signed up because I know captain cortez and wanted to go to some events with him.
Don't get me wrong, I'd post if I saw a topic that spurred my interest though.
And I'm all for actually MEETING members IRL.
I quite enjoyed meeting everyone at the bionic commando event.
It's a shame I had lectures during the RE event though.
Oh well, I'd love to come to the event but I doubt littering the forums with spam posts here and there filled with nothing but moot opinions and hearsay would make me any more eligible a community member.
Give me something juicy to post about Elite :)

No arguing please ;)
Id love to come, especially if I can afford it (which I think I would be able to if I start saving now). Though I'd also love to bring Lindsey with me, but 1 invite only means that there is a distinct possibility that I'll have to skip yet another get together *cries*

Are you open to bribes? :p
I'm kidding. I'm just going to hope there's another party next year. :D
To those of you who get an invite, have fun!!

Lateral thinking, TZM! Lindsey is already registered, get her to be more active :p
Unfortunately limited tickets means that the community has the priority, it'd be unfair for me to give spaces to guests if we don't have enough for the community.
Ryu Kazama
20-10-09, 16:39
I bet the recession means limited tickets. And they said it was over, ha!
Anyway, sounds good. Once again, if you need an extra pair of hands, I should be up for it (unless I somehow fall down a hole somewhere).
Nabil Mishima
20-10-09, 17:23
When? Where? Doubt I'll be able to come, I'm pathetic as usual......
So it's near Charrings cross right?
I was talking to a girl I know on Facebook and she was like "Oh I live in London now!" so I said I might be there, and was she anywhere near charrings cross, and she was like "I could be!"
Near London Bridge. That's all I'm going to say :p
Just to clarify, it's a close party. Until 8pm no-one who doesn't have an invite and is on the guest list can get in. Please don't start inviting friends and acquintances as they won't be let in.

Look at soop going all smooth!Should I bring my Lips cd and microphones so we can have some singing?! :p
oh yeah, I meant I'd meet her after.
so it's not at the office? I've been near London bridge:
Went to a training thing some years back. I was a sys admin, and they were only paying me £10,000 a year, but they expected me to pay my own expenses before re-imbursing me (right at the end of the month). Well I couldn't pay my hotel bill, and the actual training girl put it on her companies card for me.
Got to London, and not only could I not get even £5 out, the machine took my cash card. I'm in London, somewhere near London bridge with no money. Not even enough for the subway. I have to get to paddington, so I find a map and start walking.
2 hours later I find another map. I've barely moved. I start to worry, as I have a train ticket, but at this rate? Anyway I find another skater and start talking to him, and eventually we get to slam city skates where his flatmate lends me the £2, and I get to the trainstation for the last train, and home by 3am, where I have to walk 3 miles home.
Fun fun fun -___-
Look at soop going all smooth!Should I bring my Lips cd and microphones so we can have some singing?! :p
OMFG YES :eek: what songs are on it? I have singstar ballads and legends...
She was adding a lot of kisses to her message, but she must know I'm taken.
Besides, we had a bit of a snog some years ago, but she's probably over me by now. girls are like that.
I wasn't arguing. I was making a point.
And Cloudeh, this is a community party, for established members, hence the fact it's invite only.

That should be very entertaining :popcorn:

On the disk there are 40 full songs from the likes of Nirvana, Editors, Depeche Mode,Duran Duran,Kaiser Chiefs, Maroon ,etc.
You can see the full list here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_in_Lips) .
I got more songs downloaded but I would have to bring the xbox 360. :p
There is a new one as well with a few recent songs which I might get soon when I have money. It has that Barbie Song on it so that would be instant non stop laughing! The list for it is here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_in_Lips:_Number_One_Hits).
Lips on the rocks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD2jFuWBTeA):D
You will have to get a few phone numbers then if your coming to this party, so you dont get lost. :)

22-10-09, 19:07
I have declined the offer at this point, but on second thoughts who is going at this time?
I'm still considering it, I would love to go, but my employer and the demand for work is kinda pulling on things since I work most weekends, I'll probably confirm it by the end of the month/mid november at the VERY latest.
under 18's huh.....
well, guess i'm out! :scared:

Tubemole spam!
I'm almost disgusted, but I concur, so it's ok. ;)
Looking forward to this event. I think everyone should dress up in some form, haha. Could be a hard thing to do, if not all of us has a job.
Put your hand up if you don't have a job at the minute?
*slowly raises hand*
draconacticus
26-10-09, 09:34
Sounds good to me :)
I just need to find out how many brownie points i have left!
Guys, I've sent out another bunch of invites by pm, can you please check your inboxes if we haven't talked about it already?
Could I come if I promise to turn 18 in less than a year and a half? :chin:
:rolleyes:
Carbonox_Ratchet
29-10-09, 12:37
I'm curious as to what the dress code is, which depends on the type of place this party will be at. Then there's whatever is planned for late night stuffz.
It's my Birthday in 2 weeks so I guess spoiling myself with clothes shopping is in order? Oh I think so too. I've already found the most awesome cardigan in the world. <3
CaptainCortez
29-10-09, 12:41
Carb - Just go topman crazy. :p
Be sure to find a topic here with me and everyone else wishing you a happy birthday, anyway.
What date is the day of your birthday anyway?
Hmm, that's for dress code, I would have thought it's just like normal, but then again it really would be funny if we were all made to dress up as Capcom characters. ;)
I doubt it'd be formal wear to be honest.
charmed699
29-10-09, 12:42
I went ahead and bought a new t shirt for Eurogamer tomorrow. With the theme I am going for, no one will think I forgotten NiGHTS. I found a nice cardigan too in H & M that I want to buy!Well, I guess that I need something new to wear to this party too. :D
Carbonox_Ratchet
29-10-09, 12:57
Not big on Topman. Unless you shop on their site, their in-store range is rather shoddy.
H&M is alright but the one here is female-only.
A new River Island opened up though so I'll be browsing through there soon; reliable shops these are.
14th of November, Cortez.
CaptainCortez
29-10-09, 13:04
Cheers, and yea, I always shop online with topman.
I know my sizes, so it's fine, but when you go into one of their actual stores, they always have hardly any stock in comparison to their website. Bit of a letdown really, but I guess online shopping saves me the effort of getting the train to my closest Topman store.
River island is too overpriced, I feel. Officer's club is alright though, and not ever shopped at H&M, so wouldn't know about that.
I just get the majority of my clothes from topman now, as I like how the clothes fit me (their clothes are a nicer fit on me than any other shop, for some reason), plus they have some really funky t-shirts now and again.
charmed699
29-10-09, 13:10
I like shopping in stores as I really like trying on clothes.I think H & M has a voucher that gives students 15% off this weekend too! When Uniqlo has the gaming range I like to go there and check it out too... :p
There is still a whole month before it happens so lots of time to find something. I expect lots of presents from you guys! ;)
CaptainCortez
29-10-09, 13:13
Haha, lots of presents. :p
Basically every forum member will now go, and demand presents from each other. This sounds like a setup for a mass murder, due to somebody not buying them their favourite action man for christmas. XD
What's Uniqlo? I haven't ever heard of it.
French Connection (who I haven't ever shopped with) sometimes has gaming tee's, which look pretty cool.
Don't fret, I stayed away from flashy sparkling and pretentious bars, you don't need to dress up. Jeans and trainers are fine, if you want to wear your best frock it's also fine :)
And now I've got a picture in my mind of Carbonox wearing a skirt :blink:
:stretcher:
CaptainCortez
29-10-09, 14:07
Not a tutu? Damn.
Hehe, sounds like a classy casual place then. Imean if you can wear your best clothes and still fit in, with people who are wearing just casual stuff, then it sounds all good. :D
Hopefully there will be quite a good few of us. :)
charmed699
29-10-09, 14:13
I want the latest Ken action man!
The Uniqlo shop is a Japanese franchise that sells clothes using about every color in the spectrum. It has special editions and the latest videogame collection had tshirts from Resident Evil, Sonic, Puyo Puyo, Ace Attorney, etc.
CaptainCortez
29-10-09, 14:17
Ah right. I had a look on their website, but couldn't see any videogame tee's, but ah well. :(
Madness. Basically shop with them, and become a walking, talking, human rainbow!
There's loads of people who aren't checking their pm box - TMZ, Sky_Dragon, RagingAvatar, Nabil, itsmyyard, Iceclimber...I'm looking at you :poke:

The T-shirts are special editions that come in every summer. New ones every year. This year there was some serious CAPCOM love in it; Megaman, Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Monster Hunter Tri (no really). They even had Tatsunoko Production prints in the range this year.

The whole collection was on the site but sold out.
Here is a list of all the tshirts:

I got the 2 puyo puyo(purple/black,)ace attorney(blue), megaman(blue),monster hunter 3(brown) and Resident Evil 5 BSAA(brown).
I really wanted all 4 sonic ones but could not find them.

Oh no!!!!
Lol, I have a Nero costume, so that's not allowed. If you wanna cosplay, then I shall too, but go as Dante! Lol.
All I need for cosplay completion is the arm which I'm supposed to be starting tomorrow, and a wig. :p
I have no way to put the sword together though, so it's just a sword shaped block of wood with a brake handle next to it, and a holding handle at the minute. :(

Can you post up some pics? I wanted to make s MH sword for halloween, but I never get round to it.
And bleagh to topshop etc.
CaptainCortez
30-10-09, 13:51
I can in about a month, when I get my Sony Ericsson Satio phone....which I've been waiting for, for a year.
Has a 12.1 mega pixel camera, but yea not actually got a cam myself, and my brother sold his good one. :(
I figured the best way to make one was probably polystyrene or balsa with some kind of coating.
chaosriotzero
30-10-09, 15:12
paper mache is the way forward....
CaptainCortez
30-10-09, 15:15
Probably, but in that case, mine won't help you.......it's made out of solid oak.
Oak's pretty cheap in france, so to get enough wood for a life sized Nero Red Queen, it was only just under £13.
Damn heavy. I can lift it with one hand, but if you swing this thing, it'll be like monster hunter......there will be no stopping the momentum of it.
I found this out the hard way, when I took a tiny bit of the end of my sword off, after it collided with a bench in my bedroom, and made a huge gouge in the bench. So yea, lighter material may not look as effective, but it's a lot easier for swinging around etc.
I've gotta buy red ribbon to go around the handle, and find a spring to fit the brake into the handle, so I can pull it, instead of it just loosely hanging in there.
Also gotta fix the handle into the sword dead straight, so dunno how I'm going to do that. :/
Wood glue is good for anything really, but good thing about using it on actual wood is that it makes a bond, stronger than the actual wood itself.
Still, I'm hoping it won't snap when I do it, as the handle is long, but not as heavy as the main supposed blade, which is just shaped like one, and looks more like a bludgeoning weapon, haha.
Nah, the shape's good, and I worked out all of the measurements in my head, then just drew them on the wood, and cut it out with my uncle. Looks awesome. Surprised we shaped the wood so well.
Anyway yea, I'll get pics up when I can man. :)
paper mache is the way forward....
Yeah, probably for the coating. YOu wouldn't want to make the whole thing out of it obviously, it would never dry.
@Cortez: Good luck man :D
Guys, Christmas party please.
If you want to make a cosplay thread, then please do, I only support that, but try to keep this thread related to the community event. ;)

Right, back to the christmas party.....I won't ask who's going, as it's unfair on those who may not have been invited, or can't go.....but I will say I'm really looking forward to it. :D
Something different to normal, as to be honest, I haven't been to a christmas party since I finished infant school.
Everyone's boring here and only really celebrate the new year, and sometimes have halloween parties, but yea. Zombie walk tomorrow will set my halloween day up well. :D
Everyone wanna do christmas cards for each other, or at least for Ten?
I think it'd be nice to get her something, and it can't hurt to give each other christmas cards.
Will be nice meeting up again. :)

cards sound good, or we could do secret santa. sorry to make more work for Tenebra but I think she actually loves been worked to death! lolz Ten (or a slave) could just give us a name and then we get that person a small gift for no more than say a fiver unless your super generous
CaptainCortez
30-10-09, 19:03
Ah yea, that also sounds like an idea, haha. Pass the parcel? XD

Cortez, we already have the secret teamwork achievement, let's stop expanding each others ideas!
but yeah that is a good idea
CaptainCortez
30-10-09, 19:13
Lol, maybe we'd be good at running the country together, then. Lmao!
I suppose I can put the lid on my idea's for now, but.........who knows how long for. :p
You just can't contain this kind of info. It'll break out!
chaosriotzero
30-10-09, 19:19
and we could seal the lid with double sided sticky tape and staples GAH! I've done the idea blending again!
back to topic....so what do you think we could do as activities at the par-tay if there isn't a load already planned out?
CaptainCortez
30-10-09, 19:29
A dance off? I'd fail, but hey it'd be fun.
Apart from that, I'm actually stuck for idea's, so I'm leaving it to everyone else now. :p
It's a team effort, so Capcom members, time to get involved! ;)
You honestly think you'd get bored? With me? Shame on you! :whackangry:

Pole dancing CAPCOM fans. What a bunch of loons we would be!
Damn loonies. You're loniees, loniees, loniiiiieeees!
:hop:
I'm so going to get into trouble for encouraging you so much.
But no, no pole dancing at the party. Even me-what?-angel-face couldn't justify it :D
CaptainCortez
30-10-09, 23:00
Awwww, see Ten,even you miss out on the fun of pole dancing....can't say you're missing much, lol.
Someone should buy banoffee pie, and a massive rhubarb crumble. It should be government funded! I'd rather have pie than a new street lamp. :p

I heard a rumour yesterday that Ten has trained an army of cats to prepare us food ala Monster hunter kitchen and then all the entrays shall be brought out to us by Servebots from Megaman

did you know, that if you ACTUALLY saw Ryu and Ken using Hadouken on each other, your eyes wouldn't just explode, they'd disappear from your face entirely.

I saw Ryu and Guile at a train station once, it was awesome...
And yes, I am coming :D, this place better have party hats and Kazoos...:chin:
This is bad news as I really need to lock down the guest list within the next couple of weeks :(
Well put my name as a yes then if theres still space when it comes time to you giving out the list. I dont want to hog a spot if someone can easily make it.
Count me out.
*Edit*6th is my birthday, I really don't want to spend it all drunk in some abandoned place in london waiting for take off and a clear head --- and the balance of my wallet is really fluctuational, so, I'm not gonna go for it at the moments --- plus I got a no from above -- why? Don't know, shouldn't have even asked.
Ten, got some wine left for me? No?
Guys, I really need to start finalising the list. The following people can please check their PM/emails/say a definite yes or no, please?

If you need to make up the numbers, I will turn up three times.
I don't need to make up the numbers, I have quite a long list of people who've asked to come but I'm giving the preference to the above mentioned peeps first :p

03-11-09, 21:50
Just to let you know, Parjay isn't on very much at the moment.
Last I spoke to him, he was recovering from a visit to the Hospital. I can't remember exact details, but he hasn't been very active for that reason.
I'm not sure whether you'll get a quick response from him because of this.
Sorry to hear about that. Please send him my best wishes for a steady recovery if you happen to speak to him.
Damn, I had wondered where he had gone, he was a very respectable poster, I sure hope he recovers soon.
CaptainCortez
04-11-09, 15:37
Well, I hope he gets well soon. :)
Odd, I always thought he was a girl. No reason for it, other than his avatar was of a girl. Silly reason really, but it looked as if "she'd taken a picture of herself, and put it up", which is now not the case, as she turned out to be a he.
Anyway yea, send my best regards. :)
Ah Ten I pm'd you. You should really check your messages.
Sky_dragon
I actually answered to your pm straight away, Sky Dragon/Joe. There must be something wrong with the pm system as you're not the first person not receiving my pms. I'll have it checked tomorrow. In the meantime, I can actually fix your old account if you want.

Shaping reeaally nicely. The guest list is nearly closed so those who still haven't replied to my pm/email please do so as I'm going to be locking it within a week at the latest. If you don't reply, I can only assume that you aren't interested and your place will be given to someone else.

:sadangel:steffi not going?!
ten has broken my heart for the last time
What do you mean Steffi not going? I invited you in person last time I saw you :thinking:
Is anyone coming a monster hunter? Or if not, do you have a PSP, and what games do you have?
I'll definitely be bringing mine (train/bus etc) and here's the games I could take:
Burnout legends
Streetfighter alpha 3 max
MHFU
The 2 GTAs... um.. I forget what else I have.
I was thinking about leaving mine at home, or at least not pulling it out at the party.
Maybe I'm one of the last of my kind, but I'm the type of guy who feels like hanging out and party'ing at a party, and not taking over one corner with gaming.
Then again, We're going out the night before the party to buy my host a pink psp as an early Christmas, so I'm probably bringing mine in the end, to help her play. xD
Depending on what is defined by party'ing, I'll have it in my manbag. ;)
Bring your PSP with you, by all means! Not sure if you'll have much time to play though :p
:hop:
My PSP goes with me everywhere anyway :D
*edit* I just noticed your loyalty level went up Ten - How'd you manage that?
draconacticus
06-11-09, 12:31
I'm bringing mine Soop (it's a long ride from Manc) so I can spirit combo you at last! :)
Also, is the party going on long into the night? I just want to plan if I need to book a hotel or ride back to manchester comatosed on the last train back.
CaptainCortez
06-11-09, 12:46
No psp bringing for me, as I have a feeling Ten's set something up amazing for us. :p

There are a few things planned. That's all
The Capcom xmas party; in which we all travel to London for a game of naked twister. ;)
Yeah, I'm debating whether to stay out or not too. The travel options for coming/going are far less expensive if you pick a specific time to set out and leave. I think the megabus is as cheap as £1 up to an open ended train ticket at something like £50 >__< and the hotel options in London too. I have another anecdote about that as well, and lets say that policemen in London must be getting paid so much that they have a very loose grasp of the meaning "cheap".

I think I'm staying over in a hotel. The other half is down in London that weekend too having a girly night with her friends (talking about ribbons and kittens or whatever it is they gossip about) so might as well make a weekend of it :)
Also, the police in London have a loose grasp of many things. I was shot in the back with an air rifle outside Clapham North tube station when Mrs D. lived there many moons ago. Apparently that's not a serious crime.
CaptainCortez
06-11-09, 15:38
Haha, well you had something planned, so that still gives me an excuse not to bring my psp. Besides, I only have single player games for it. :(
I did have multiplayer ones, but I don't know if someone stole them when I went on holiday, or they're just lost, as I have 7 games with nothing in the case. Pretty much sucks.
I have no death junior, no burnout legend, no metal gear acid, and whatever the other 4 games were. They're just gone, but oh well.

Oh man, I'm sorry. Burnout legends was a fantastic game. Wow, burnout legends is still £17 on amazon O__O Dominator is even more. Put it's about £9 on play, and you can pick up acid and death jr on amazon for about £4 each if you feel you want them back :)
At this rate, Tenebra is going to take away your PSP's until the end, just so you can socialise. :D

My iPod will be my only form of entertainment for the gruelling 3 hour train ride to London and back.
Although I'm kinda stumped as I'll get to London in the afternoon on the day of the party, but it'll be stupid to leave on the same day too, so suggestions on places to stay would be grand for Saturday night. Although, my idea of partying is not finishing until the early hours of the next morning...(separates the men from the boys ;O).

Hotels generally in London are mega bucks. Have a look at laterooms.com, you might find some good deals there.
I thought it was carpet slippers and a smoking jacket that separated the men from the boys?

Partying until the early hours of the morning whilst wearing the slippers and jacket is the real juicebox. Unfortunately I doubt we will be let in wearing slippers, sigh.

Alex you fancy getting a hostel together bro?
this place looks decent and its cheap too, like 15 to 30 quid depending on what type of bed:
http://www.piccadillyhotel.net/
you need to book early with london though, so i'd advise everyone wanting accomodation to book at least a week b4 the date otherwise you may be dissapointed.
Edit: Oh yeah and its 24hr check in so we can paaaaartay long into the night, im getting déjà vu now, have i suggested this before??

The following may be something that someone not of this world would ask, but:
What the heck is a kazoo?
Is it those strange things you blow, they make a noise and stretch, then roll back up, until you blow through it again?
Really haven't ever known the name for them.
Looking forward to it. :)

Guys, since it's supposed to be a closed event, don't you think information is more likely to be dropped in your Inbox, to prevent a swarm of forum lurkers to assault the people with torches and hayforks after the party?
That's my thoughts on the matter anyways, maybe being a moderator has made me a little to self-absorbed and paranoid. xD
Keep your inboxes checked. ;)

Sorry for messing you around ten, but I don't think I can go. for a few reasons:
1. If I tell mum and dad I got invited from a forum they'll automatically refuse to let me go.
2. They let people brainwash them i.e. thinking that all forums are bad because of some stupid young girl going on chat lines and getting led on by some idiot.
3. I'm autistic, and I find it hard to communicate with people who work at the trains.
:(
Again apologies everyone.......
No worries, you're not the only one who finds it difficult to talk to the people in the train stations. I think they make things unneccessarily hard...
CaptainCortez
16-11-09, 10:01
Well, I was asking some arsey worker at the train station, which platform I should get on from Charing X to Hastings once.
I was rudely answered with: "Look at the damn screens. They're there for a reason."
I thought that was uncalled for, and just laughed and walked off. If it was on the screens at the time, I wouldn't have been asking what platform to get on, as they were the first things I looked at.
Some people shouldn't have a job, if all they're going to do is be rude to people.
I'm okay, as I don't let people like that get to me too much. Other people on the other hand are less confident, and if somebody speaks down to them in that manner, then they will probably avoid asking people important information for the rest of their life (in fear of being made to either look stupid, or worried they'd be downtrodden).
draconacticus
16-11-09, 10:17
Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about finding it hard to communicate with the train staff. I think we all do. Mostly because they are the most unhelpful people in the world.
If you ever call national rail enquiries it is an absolute waste of time. The staff mostly are using a geordie dialect I can't understand and they seem to have no information of any use at all, especially if there are rail repairs going on - you need a phd in order to travel by rail on a bank holiday.

I also had a bad experience in that station, it's very confusing and the guy working there just pointed somewhere, which wasn't helpful at all. :mad:

Again apologies everyone.......
kuche kuche! I am autistic too! ;) and the fact that I cant do anything good is something very strange I like about myself.
the only thing i can do good is ICT which is also very useless if you work as a worker in to a giant company designed especially for people who have fisycal or pshyso disabilities. little detail those ICT technics is in the autistic not the normal guy woman way. stupid but very clever example: how can i protect a pc without any protection... . or how can I do things that are illegale on a pc that actually are legal... . how old are you?
Guys, I don't believe this is the place for that.
And don't think so badly about yourselves.
If you can prove for yourself that you can do stuff despite what the docs say, you can achieve wonderful things.
Well, as wonderful as it can be to moderate a gaming company's forum, while juggling it with a job as Hazaroud materials agent and still being able to travel and hang out with people. :)
Cheer up, with the spirit of Christmas, 365 days a year!
I would love to come as well. this sounds great fun.
Diifii, as much as I'd like to talk with you about the old times and your videos of losing fighting games against a frog-sock puppet, Tenebra already mentioned that the party was only open to people over the age of 18.
Also, the guest list is already closed at this point, so no dice.
