Dauber Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 (edited) Next Saturday, January 20th, is the date! WHEN: 1:00pm CST to whenever WHERE: Dauber's apartment on the north side of Chicago WHY: Because we love our classic video games! (And also, my wife is away, so I can actually get away with doing this!) I have a couple of folks confirmed already. But let's have a day to just completely fry our brains on some classic video games! I have an Atari 7800 so we can get into both 2600 and 7800 stuff (and perhaps even a Warlords battle -- I just bought a second pair of paddles!), and I also have an Intellivision that we can do stuff with. PARKING: Surprisingly, it's fairly easy to park (for free) in my neighborhood, so it should be plentiful. MASS TRANSIT: I live close to an L stop, and the CTA bus stops in front of my building. FOOD: Probably the usual party stuff -- snackage, maybe some large round Italian-like discs with cheese and tomato sauce at some point, I dunno. I'm not a big drinker, so if you want alcohol, either suggest to me what to get or bring some with you. If interested, please PM me and I'll give you the appropriate details...

Dauber Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 A little update -- I might have to push this back to the evening, or perhaps postpone all together. I'll be sure to post here if anything changes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I'll definitely be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 I guess I should be there, too, seeing as how I, uhhh...live there... Anyhoo -- 1:00 CST until God knows when as originally planned! Again, if you're interested, PM me and I'll provide directions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 Just wanna thank, in alphabetical order -- Inky, jbanes, Sandy Cheeks and Supercat for being the first people outside of my family to set foot into Chez Dauber. Great time...unfortunately, not much in terms of pictures, but I'll post what I can. I do have video of us seeing Toyshop Trouble for the first time -- and a most excellent game, I must say; if I get money, I'll definitely buy it. We also had a four-player Medieval Mayhem featuring a come-from-behind upset by yours truly, partially thanks probably to jbanes' having to leave in the middle of the game... Thanks, all!

jbanes Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 And thank you for hosting the event! It was great fun; we'll have to do it again sometime. Sorry we didn't get a chance to hook up the 5200. We'll have to focus more on the non-2600/7800 systems next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboypacman Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Cant wait to see some pics.Sounds like a good time was had by all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 Oh...and thanks to all who ordered Chinese food, paid me for their share, and left most of it. I really don't mind having the best Chinese food I ever had for dinner every day for the next week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 It was fun meeting you all! Jbanes, Supercat, and of course Dauber and Sandy Cheeks. Sandy, we have to hook up together sometime for some sex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercat Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Sorry we didn't get a chance to hook up the 5200. We'll have to focus more on the non-2600/7800 systems next time. There are games other than the 2600? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 Okay....here is EVERY picture I took....a grand total of TWO: one moving, one still! The still: I wanted to immortalize Inky's first time ever playing an Intellivision. I think he didn't find it as exciting as he thought it'd be. He didn't like Bomb Squad, one of my faves... The video is of Supercat showing us Toyshop Trouble. The cast: - jbanes -- the guy with the beard and glasses and is not sitting by the window - Inky -- the guy with the glasses but no beard - Supercat -- the guy with the beard and glasses and sitting by the window - Sandy Cheeks -- the gal with the glasses whom you see with a bookcase in the background - me -- the owner of the lips of which there's an extreme close-up when I tried to capture myself but didn't do so well. So....it appears I was the only AA member in my apartment who doesn't wear glasses... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
