SE Michigan Get Together (Sept. 12th)

[EricDeLee]

I have to cancel, my apologies to all.

Lots of things going on this weekend, kid's b-day party got rescheduled to THIS weekend.

On top of the the wife will be working all weekend. I can't leave 8 boys alone in this house! (5 additional boys leftover from the party and my 3 boys)

 

Tempest... shoot me a PM. I'm going to shoot you that Lynx case in the mail.

jboypacman... shoot me yours as well. I got your box ready for the PC Engine stuff I was going to bring ya.

 

If I get them right away, I can possibly get them out to you before the party.

Well, I have been scheduled to work this Saturday. I won't be able to make it out to Ann Arbor til about 4-4:30 now

 

What time will you fellows be dining at the Pizza place? My wife and I may just have to catch everyone there, unless folks will still be at the arcade. Sorry for any inconvenience

 

Is anyone interested in exchanging cellular phone numbers? I can PM my number if it is ok. I believe there was a steel shortage earlier this week and we need to catch up production… I should have put in for the day off in advance but I didn't think we would have supplier issues like this.

 

I don't want to miss out on this any more… got grandparents set up to watch children for the night and everything!

[Tempest]

I think we'll be going for Pizza about 5-5:30 so you're still good. If anyone wants my cell number just PM me.

 

Tempest

[Tempest]

Just a reminder that if anyone wants to play Rock Band that I only have one guitar so if someone wants to bring theirs that would be great (360 or PS3).

 

See everyone tomorrow!

 

Tempest

[jboypacman]

Did we ever get a real head count on who is all really going to be at Pete's?

 

I guess we will play it by ear i guess bring me a couple of maps Tempest just in case we are going to your place still not sure about that yet.

 

Also i was reminded that the big Michigan/Notre Dame game we be this week in too this could effect traffic.

 

See you guys at Pete's!

[Tempest]

to Pete's? I think about 10 or so. might be as low as 8.

Already done.

Gah forgot about that. Oh well, not much to be done about that.

I can bring my Rock Band Guitar for 360. Did anyone get the Beatles game?

[aftermac]

I suppose I should get all of my tradables together tonight... I have a couple computers to work on for a client, so I'll be down in the la-bor-a-tory anyway.

 

When we were planning this I wasn't even thinking about football season... oh, well it was hard enough to come up with a date as it is!

 

See everybody tomorrow!

[Tempest]

Not yet. I have RB/RB2, GH: WT for the 360, GH 3 and Aerosmith for the PS3, and GH 1/2/80's for the PS2.

[Wickeycolumbus]

Have fun tomorrow guys! I wish I could be there

[Sonic R]

Ok I am just double check with all that I am bringing…

 

•Japanese Xbox 360

•Japanese Xbox 360 games

•Japanese PlayStation 2

•Japanese PlayStation and PS2 games

•Rock Band Guitar

 

I don't know if it has been mentioned, but I have a "special" Saturn that will play both USA and Japanese games and more…

I can bring this too if necessary.

 

Looking forward to tomorrow!

My Saturn plays everything so you don't need to worry about that. Gotta love 4-in-1 RAM carts and Mod Chips...

 

Is there anything on the Japanese 360 worth playing? I can't think of any good Japanese exclusives off the top of my head. Still, it would be neat to see.

Ok that sounds good, I just bring a few legit games and the cd booklet of "games" for the Saturn

 

I believe I have some nice stuff for J360, which is why I got it in the first place as these games won't be localized.

[Tempest]

I might be a few minutes late. I have something going on until about 1:20ish and Pete's is a half hour away. But with the game traffic it might cause a few headaches.

 

Just a reminder though, you've got to be at least 21 to come back to the house. If there's going to be any drinking involved I'm not having minors around.

Fair enough.

 

My wife and I are well over the age of 21… (I am old man at 33!)

 

I'm off to lunch. See you guys in a few hours!

 

I'll call when we are parked and arrive inside of Pinball Petes.

[jboypacman]

Not a problem Tempest am still bring my trade stuffs and Dalum is bring that Commodore monitor too.

 

And Mrs.Jboy is coming now! Whoot!

 

I guess if we can not go to your house we can't or we can leave when the drinking starts we are all over 21 but Dalum's daughter is not but its cool.

Glad to hear the Mrs. is coming. This will make my wife happy and more comfortable… one more hour here than I can be getting on my way!

[aftermac]

Just got back from Tempest's place... took all of 11 minutes to get home.

 

Had a great time today! My wife and I really enjoyed meeting everyone. We'll definitely have to do this again soon. Thanks definitely go to Tempest for finally getting us all together and letting us invade his home!

 

I'm looking forward to seeing the pics and video that Dalum took. Everyone that couldn't make it missed out on a great time (and home made guacamole, by Mrs. Tempest)!

[Sonic R]

Hey Guys!

 

I wanted to thank Tempest for putting this together and for his most gracious hospitality! My wife and I enjoyed ourselves and it was a pleasure to meet everyone and enjoy the fellowship!

 

Five player Bomberman on the Duo was a great treat… its all too rare to get some multi-player Turbo going! We got to get some Moto Roader going next time!

 

Hoping to get more of these gatherings going with you fellows!

 

I have linked in my signature a thread (at Shmups) of the gatherings my wife and I occasionally host and participate in. Everyone and anyone are always welcome, and I'd like to get out and together again with fellow game enthusiast!

 

Thanks again, Tempest, for your hard work in making this happen and for everyone else for coming out! For those who couldn't make it, there will be many other gatherings to go to

Yeah, Bomberman was great! Definitely need more multi-player gaming next time! By then maybe Tempest will have the flash card figured out and we can get Bomberman '94 going. I'd like to get some four-player Warlords / Medieval Mayhem going too, but I'm up for anything!
