GBAtemp Meeting in London

Hey everyone, fellow tempers!

We've been planning a meeting for a couple of weeks now.
Only, the meeting topic was posted in the staff forum which is obviously a problem for non-staff members willing to come and join us.
So, in this topic we'll discuss what we're going to do, what time we meet and where.

Where?
Well it appears that the Victoria tube station is a good place for most people, so we'll probably just meet there at first.
It's recommended for anyone to have an oyster card or something that allows you to use the tube on an unlimited basis.

Who?
Confirmed members to come: Costello, Little, shaunj66, dice, the teej, Thug4L1f3 (& Mrs Thuguette), jaxxster
Likely to come: moozxy, inf, Hadrian
Probably won't come but you never know: ShadowXP, xcalibur

When?
Well if you haven't noticed the topic description, it's on November 29th (next Saturday).
As for the time, well it depends on when you can make it.
Apparently 10am at Victoria tube station for the earliest, then we'll see about the others later?

What?
- Definitely bring your DS and games or flash cart.
- We're going to the Trocadero (a 4-floor arcade)
- We'll probably have lunch somewhere, maybe dinner too in the evening, depends who's still around
- any suggestions?


--- extra question: can I come too?
well if you're a long time member and think you'd feel comfortable hanging around with us (a bunch of 20-30 yr olds), then feel free to join us! It's gonna be fun!


Photos will be posted in another blog post after the meeting!
See ya all!

I'll go with yellow face paint and blue clothes, as well as a blue party hat.
 
Lucky lads!, if I would have money I would be there.
Have a great time!, I'll be there in spirit.

We will have our own meeting with Ed, Mikki and Shinji in the US ;)
 
Plane is actually a good idea (from France). Ryanair has some cheap tickets, ex: MPL to London STD €40 incl. tax. They have pretty good prices all over western Europe. I can't come though.

Anyways, have fun!
 
Oh I'm from Québec... no canadian meet up for me :(
Why we don't make our canadian meet up in Montréal, we could go eat some poutine haha.
And our bars/pub close later in the night than in Ontario :P
 
I wonder how many people would come if I organised a GBAtemp meeting in Athens...

    @Xdqwerty there is health behaviour you can add to your character, then to use a health bar is lil more complicated, google n watch a few tutorial video on it, be too hard to explain here.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the character has the health behavior
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I know you have to create a health and health max variable. Then there is a calculation you use in code to subtract width size of the health bar. Google few vids.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the "greenflatbar" is one of the preset health bars btw
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you can use any bar/sprite. It will just change the width. Ok good luck and have fun. I'm off to go shoot some pool at the bar. Talk to you later.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
