PA/DE/NJ/MD -- Feb 27th -- My Somewhat Annual Get Together.

Corporate has given the go ahead, I repeat, corporate has given the go ahead.

I'm already working on the basement setup.

My place, South Jersey.. I'm about 10 minutes from Philadelphia, about 20 from DE and about 90 minutes from BWI.

If you're in, you're in..

Feb 27th, should avoid snow, holidays, etc.

It's on, gimme a head count.

I'll start at noon at my place, I can go earlier or later depending on your preference... it will go until you degenerates leave my house. (It was 12 hours+ the last time.. which ruled, I might add.)

All are welcome.

I'll check with Stefan, but the two will most likely make it.

Totally in. Sounds awesome.

May come, depending on the weather. I definitely will not make the one at White Castle's place.

Jon

Good stuff, guys... glad we'll get some people over.

So far I'll have my stuff set up:

Gauntlet 2 4-Player Cab
Megatouch Titanium (For teh ladddiiiess.. they seem to love it)
6-button Tekken Tag, MAME Cab, (SF3 will mostly be played on this... will switch to tekken tag at request) Rigged for JAMMA.
4 Button Neo Style 33'' MAME cab (for neo h2h good ness)
LCD Projector

Plenty of space for other stuff. I'll put a 25'' TV for alternate gaming up at request.

May need folding chairs due to turnout. May get it catered, may take order early.. depends on funds.

I have:

Wii
X360
PS2
XBox
(...to be continued, need to go be festive...)

I should be able to make it. I won't know for sure until February. What is the area like? Is it safe to drive the DeLorean down? I don't really trust my other car going that far.

Middle-Class White Suburbia... your car will be fine.

Expect, though.. my neighbor to continually ask you about the car.

Sounds good. I am used to constant questioning everywhere I go.

Bump it up kids..

Headcount or Cancel.

A month away, minimal response..

LMK!

Stefan and I will make it if it goes as scheduled

I am interested, but can't confirm for sure...weekends are a tricky time for me... I sometimes do sound for underground shows and frequently have little notice. BUT, it sounds awesome, and I live 15 minutes from Philly, so it should be pretty close for me. ...and if I come, I'll bring some totally sweet carts.

I plan to make this, though Winter Brawl is happening this same date, which is a tournament I plan to enter. So my presence will probably be later in the night.

-Jeremy

I can't make it...I'm throwing a baby shower for my wife that day.

If this goes down, I will be there weather permitting

IF you want to play a particular system, bring it. I will be listing the stuff I have shortly.

It's still tenatively on.

Any more people planning on attending?

FYI/Ground Rules:

I'd like to start at noon, if everyone wants to and go until everyone decides to leave. Not decided yet, but that's what I'd like to do.

If you're allergic, I have two dogs, including a Golden Retriever. If you know anything about retrievers, they have thick coats and are dander machines. They're going to be bathed ahead of time to cut down on that, but just make sure you're aware.

If we're ordering food, let me know. If enough people want, I'll get it catered. Just need a head count and a reasonable price you guys would pay. this is not to make money, it's to save us all from having to get up and stop, go out, waste time and come back. We're here to play games, bust balls and have a good time!

BYOB. I have beer here, but I'd prefer no liability in terms of alcohol. If you're drunk or visibly impaired, I'll cut you off. No BS. It's not much to ask, I think.

I'm trying to set up at least 6 "places" to play games. LCD Projector, 25'' TV, Gauntlet 2 Cab, 2 MAME cabs, Megatouch. Maybe more. Everyone should have something to do, no one sits around waiting. I know some of you are traveling a bit, I don't want you trekking out here to wait.

If your "arch enemy" or "nemesis" from the boards is attending, if you have shit to get out with someone, do it somewhere else or decide to not attend. My house is Switzerland. If something goes down, you'll deal with me afterwards. This is not something you want to happen.

If anyone has a 36'' Sony Wega TV they'd like to sell me, bring it with you, I'll buy it. I want one.

If you've murdered someone and got away with it, if you stalked someone and their neighbor ended up dead, I ask that you not show up or at least have a good excuse for doing so and be willing to tell us your story.

KOF 98 sucks. I hate that game. You will be ostracized for playing it.

Bring stuff to sell/trade, etc. These get togethers are always active trading opportunities.

Have fun, this is what it's all about.

Stefan and I are still planning to attend. I guess we come as a packaged deal.

I'm planning on it. My friend Alex will probably tag along. He is on the forums but mostly lurks.

Good stuff.

I just got my replacement I-PAC, so the 4 button 33'' MAME (Neo style CP) will be ready to go.

We're looking at 6-10 people showing up, which is a good number.

I'm going to score a 32'' WEGA for an additional spot for gaming.

So far:

XBOX 360 (Bring fighting sticks or controllers, I have one good controller for it)
PS2
Wii
XBOX
MAME Cabs (one 25'', one 33'')
Gauntlet 2 4 Player Cab
MegaTouch Titanium
Dreamcast
*NOTE: I do not own a Neo anymore. Bring one if you want to play on the real hardware.

Things NEEDED:

Fighting sticks/controllers of your choice
Bring your favorite games

If you want to play on a particular system and it's not on my list. BRING IT.

Things I'm interested in Buying/Trading for:

Atomiswave System w/ games
JAMMA Boards
NAOMI setup

I can provide a Foreman Grill Triple for anybody interested in playing BlazBlue, WipeOut HD, Puzzle Fighter, Tekken 6 BR, SF IV, Battle Fantasia, and Super Turbo Remix.

I have an engagement in the morning and most likely won't be able to head out until the early to mid afternoon. It takes me about 2.5 hours to get to philly.
Hope that is not a problem.

I'd like to bring my saturn + shmups if that is cool.

Sweet... That's plenty ok for me! That will probably occupy me for a few hours.

Due to the distance of most people coming, I always make sure everyone gets a good amount of time in. I'm not going to kick everyone out early or anything.. so plan on staying late, if you want. Most of the time, these go to the wee hours of the morning. As long as my kids don't wake up, I don't care.

It'll be cool to meet you, finally. I don't think we've ever met and we've done plenty of transactions. I always get a kick out of meeting members I've known for a long time.

I'm looking forward to BlazBlue, I've never played it.

Is anyone interested in a Gauntlet 2 marathon or "official" tourneys? I'd like to do SF3, KOF XII, Garou and Daraku Tenshi ones.

Edit: I picked up a 32'' Sony WEGA tonight so I've got the tittiest 2d SD/HD CRT ever made. I'm dying to play on it.

Should be pretty damn sexy. With that, the machines and the Projector, prepared for sechs falling out repeatedly.

Received several PM's from people bugging me to come. I need to check on a few things at work and resolve a few issues with money next week. Also, if the weather is bad next weekend, I will definitely NOT be coming. I'll let everyone know by Mon-Tues.

I would really like to finally fire up the Raijin Sigma I got a few months ago....as well as my Battletoads, Aliens, and Moonwalker PCB's that have been collecting dust under my bed.

As someone who PM'd you to come:

No one cares about your issues. Get out here.
