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'm actually well gutted, because I decided to put games in a carry case instead of in their boxes, I'm missing 2 super awesome multi-player games :( (mainly, Mario Kart DS and Tetris DS). So, unfortunately, the only multi-player game I've got is MPH. Shall I take this along with me or not?

EDIT: Oh, of course, I also have Pokemon Diamond on me too :P How did I forget that?
 
alright, well im still good for tomorrow. What ds games shall i bring on the cart? Btw, can shaun or costello pm me thier number just incase. 10am outside victoria?

alright I just got back from meeting everyone!

Here's everyone (in order of appearance):
- me (of course I appeared to myself first. O.o )
- shaun j 66
- the teej
- dice
- psyfira
- jaxxster
- little

everyone was fantastic! it was great to meet you all guys & gals =)
the day wasn't exactly well planned or organized and we walked around the streets of london in the cold and rain (which will probably result in me being sick, hehe) but we had a great time overall -- i won't give all the details, im sure the others have a lot to say =)

ps: I'd like to apologize to the 6 of you (who i met today) as I was really in a terrible condition. After a whole week of bad nights sleep, working all day, being in a foreign country, staying at a crappy hotel, walking for miles every day+evening, and on top of that being french. I got really tired at some point in the evening i was almost falling asleep :P anyway, you get the picture!

I really enjoyed meeting you guys which was the main thing. I'd love to post more for those interested but I'm too tired now lol. I believe shaun and teej have a few pics that were taken (and a vid).

I sort of wish I could've come... but you wouldn't have wanted me there.
Glad you had a good time.

and costy dont be silly you were wonderful[/quote]
:wtf:

He was wonderful?

Ok....I'm glad I didn't come, Who knows what went on during that meeting :P
 
glad u guys had a good time! my attempts to organize a toronto get together has failed miserably :( there's so many ppl that live in cities relatively close, but still kinda of hassle to come. especially our american brothers! i said it once, and i'll say it again, damn england for being so small! >.>
 
Yeah, I have some pics, no video though (who took a video?). The phone cable however is downstairs, so I'll upload them tomorrow.

Had a great time meeting everyone! You were all totally awesome.

Also, STARBUCKS CUPS SUCK.

:rofl: I love this man

Just got home (12:45am) :P Had a great time meeting everyone. I've done it so many times before, but I must say it's still so strange seeing online peepz for the first time in real life... You think you know them, but it's still weird to see people for real. But everyone was fantastic, and we had a fun time. ^_^

Public service announcement: Me and Little rock at pool B-)

Shame the same can't be said about your ds playing skills :P

Gotta say that the girls are much better at pool than I am (on that day anyway :P)

I want a rematch! On decent tables this time! :( lol

I know what you mean though, it was like, you know them but at the same time you don't, but it still felt pretty natural though. Like you said though, we had a fun time indeed :)
 
well i had a wikid time meeting everyone! I was a lil bit nervous meeting everyone at first and a bit shy so sorry if i wernt too talkative at all! But had a great time, you lot did suck at pool! Little was suprisingly good at daytona usa! Go her!

Just wanted to say thanks for the meal gbatemp too! Also, you guys all suck at tetris! :P

x
 
What the hell I'm rubbish at pool, those were 2 lucky shots along the cushion and you know it :P

It was a pretty fun day out, and nice to meet everyone. Thanks for setting it up guys! I really didn't mind the walking around, yes I know it was raining but that just made it funny (or maybe that's just me, heh). I've been to plenty of meetups in clubs at Uni where you don't really know anyone before and trust me, some of them were a complete disaster so we did pretty well on that count. :)
