OC SoCal hookup part II has gone from proposal to certain reality.
The date/time: Saturday November 13th @ 2pm...

*UPDATE: Doors will open @ 10AM for those that want to get in some extra gaming!

Less than 18 hours away baby! Invites have been sent via pm to the usual suspects and confirmed.

The place: Spark's new digs in Costa Mesa/OC across from the South Coast Plaza just off the 405/5/55 fwys. Due to space constraints, open slots are limited at this time :( If interested though, please drop me a pm or reply to this thread so we can contact you if a spot becomes available.

Drinks will be provided. However you will likely have to fend for yourself foodwise this time around. We may pool resources together to call out for pizzas or take a break and go out as a group somewhere nearby for some grub. We'll play it by ear.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

We're gonna need enough gear to keep 20 ppl busy.

Between myself and SPark, we will have:

(3) aes consoles - games = SS1-2, SSVS, LB2, Viewpoint, Puzzle Bobble, Nam, Sengoku 1-2, MS3, KoTM, FF1,

(2) Modded XBoxes linked for burnout3, Halo or whatever you guys want. As some of you may know, the xbox is rumored to have the capability to play Neo-Geo games as well as all the old arcade games

(1) PS2 usa version. unmodded.

(1) PSOne..we've got HotShotsGolf if anyone thinks they can handle the pressure on the greens. Might do a small cash prize tourney if there are enough golfers among ya.

(1) gamecube w/full library.

(1) Supergun
Pcbs = ProGear, Dimahoo, D&D1-2, Ketsui, DDP DOJ, ESPrade, Golden Axe, Tetris, Tecmo Knight, Strider, In the Hunt, radiant silvergun

(1) 3DO (ya guys find this funny, but where's the love for return fire?)

Monitors:
(1) 46" LCD
(2) 15" flat panel displays
(1) 25" regular TV
(1) 20" regular TV
(1) additional 15-17" flat panel display to be bought by SPark, then returned after this shindig is over.
(1) 24" cpu monitor, (Dunno if we'll use this but they are there if needed)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In addition, the following ppl have committed to bring:

300Wins: (1) Consolized MVS, Games: MotW, KoF2002, KoF2003, Ghostlop
Metal Slug 5,
Jindo: (1) Consolized MVS (1) Modded AES, KoF98, KoF2k2, KoF2k3, SSVS
RockHoward: (1) PS2 Modded, KoF2k3 PS2, Metal Slug Advance, GBA player + custom prize T-shirts
BIGPoppaLarge: Guwange, ESPgaluda, Money Puzzle Exchanger, Magical Drop 3

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So far this is what we've got. If you have gear ya think might help this event rock please list it here and we'll determine if ya should bring it.

Right now, I'd say TV's are more a priority than systems...We want to make sure we have enough displays to handle it all. If not we'll end up with a bunch of unhooked systems sitting around, which defeats the purpose. If any of ya have easily transported TV's you'd be willing to bring, it would be much appreciated

Any specific games you'd like to see on hand, please request in this thread to see if we have it or if someone can bring it.

Thanks guys. Lets do this proper :buttrock: Thanks for your interest and hope to cya there

finally got some time to sit down and play Neo with SPark today. All I can say is SS5S definitely rocks and will be present at the hookup. I gotta find some time to drop off my AES for some modding love so we can enjoy SPecial in its uncut complete glory. Still waiting to hear back from a few invitees to see how many open slots there will be.

As far as a vertical monitor is concerned...Everyone knows you never, ever turn down a request from the Godfather...unless you want to find yourself buried alive somewhere in the desert.

Shmups baby!

Hi Rob_Z,

Yes unfortunately due to space constraints, this hookup is invite only... limited to ppl we've gamed with previously. However, there may be some open slots once we find out exactly how many ppl plan on attending. Got ya down as interested in an open slot & sent ya a pm.

Thx,
Droid

Oh, I can make the time. But it depends on my sidekick if he could make it or not. I don't wanna drive 7 hours by myself. Maybe if someone comes and picks me up. :loco:

In that case, it sounds like the pressure falls squarely on Jindo :eek:

Samurai Shodown 5 Special....Progear...Shmups galore...Neo....PS2...hell we may even bust out 8 player Halo....

As added incentive, I will comp a meal for any NoCal invitees that make the trip ;)

@Godfather: got any severed horse heads that we can use to help persuade Jindo?

Tom...

If I can make my way from Santa Monica at about 2:30/3:00pm, could I find refuge in the silent light glow of a 46 inch LCD screen?

Take it off anyway if he doesn't let you. You can call in sick. They can't make you come in when you're sick. And if you need backup, I will dig up the law about that for you. See, my job has it's uses. :mr_t:
