North-West 360 Launch Party! (Meet)

[dataDave]

360 Launch Party!
: phwoar!! have a BASH! :


I'm holding a 360 launch party for me and a few gamer mates. I have around 10 people confirmed so far although ideally I'd like 16 or so for all round games of PDZ.

I'll have two 3000lumins projectors that I'm borrowing from work that take component, 2 of my own TVs (28" + 32" 4:3s) that accept SCART, and my 19" Dell LCD that will be taking HD VGA.

It kicks off from my town centre gaff at 12:30am Dec 2nd. this gives 'out of towners' (LOLz) chance to bag their gear and then get over, it also gives me 30mins quality time with PD where I plug in and play on my tod with headphones on being totally anti-social.

The 'event' finishes at 12:30pm Friday.

So far the people I know who are purchasing 360s are all coming along...

Greg Moss - manpack, PDZ, Kameo + xtra pad (I presume)
Dave Hirst - manpack, PDZ, PGR3 + xtra pad
Tom from Gamestation - manpack, PDZ, Kameo, PGR, Condemned + xtra pad
Myself - Everything minus the cack (manpack+PDZ).

If anyone wants to bob along you're all fully welcome (I could use the pads TBFH!). PM me and I'll supply my address.

The ONLY needed kit...

2 sets of PC speakers for audio.
As many pads as poss.

Could be a good doss for people who can't get ahold of a console at launch but still fancy a bash (concept). The only request is that you should pick up a wired pad at least as to avoid frustration when there aren't enough to go around.

House Rulez!
NO smoking cigs
NO shouting at nightlife slags out my window
NO pissed up c**ts

Was gonna have a blue neon + chrome dataDyne logo made for the window although I'll have to save up for that.

Davey boy I will try to make it - been a while since I last ruled in the PD deathmatches


Transport could be a problem as our car was written off last month
Can't bring any 360 related goodness but I have a stash of cheap cider ready to be consumed!

[Greg Moss]

House Rulez!
NO topless wrestling

OK Dave that rule wasn't in place when I agreed to come along, sort it sharpish. While we're at it, since when am I getting PDZ? I was gonna check it out at this slobberknocker of yours, good thing I've got that gamestation credit note.

[Concept]

Thanks for the invite.

I'll try and make it myself and see if I can sort out transport. Don't mind getting wasted by everyone at PDZ.

[Crisp_Rapper]

Dave, i'm up for this... just checked my work schedule and i'm freeeeeeee!

*edit: i should add i'll try and acquire a 360 but will deffo bring a pad.

[dataDave]

Bumped with attendees lists.

I NEED MEN!

[Crisp_Rapper]

waaa gwan?

[dataDave]

Same **** man - minimum of 4 consoles confirmed for usage.

Thinking of buying 3 extra wireless pads.

Just had my dreads cut out.

[jassi singh]

Would love to attend this meet of yours Fallows, but i will be so ****ing skint after buying my own 360, travelling up to yours with 2p to my name, and lack of sleep from playing my launch console all night...dont think it will happen. :\

Have a good meet...and your dads nob and all that ****....ermmmm Warahhghgghehehehaahhahaha dead good? Meh...i tried.

[jassi singh]

Ah, its you again...decided to try and have another go at me? You shouldnt of really asked me to disect your **** argument and ramblings last time. You asked for it, you didnt take it well, you cried, you got banned.

The mods saved you some embarrasment by deleting your crap. You could very easily get I.P banned, so dont push your luck if you still fancy posting and browsing this forum.

[TommyG]

You see that avatar of Jassi's. That's what i'm doing at you right now.

[dataDave]

Have a good meet...and your dads nob and all that ****....ermmmm Warahhghgghehehehaahhahaha dead good? Meh...i tried.

WeeuuurggH!H! phfffweuurrghhhHH!!.... .... urghh... *****-eye* WOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUURRGGHHH!H!!!!!!!! me dad.

As if that weren't dead ace! Come on Jass! I'll pay for your train!! I owe you a couple of favours!!

What about you Tommy, coming or what? So far the only other forum peeps are Gregmoss, Crisp_rapper and Parkinho.

We're down a console thanks to Game being Gae and not doing a midnight opening. 12 players max unless I force someone else along.

[jassi singh]

i.p. ban? never hear of a dynamic ip address? wow your technical!

For a person who struggled to type out a coherent sentance and argument last time, I thought knowing about dynamic I.P adresses was beyond you, but well done, you surprised me.

as for me crying.. yeah we all are when we see you on our streets.

You have serious issues man "our"

That actually makes me happy on the inside to be honest. That my...or..."our" presence is causing you emotional distress. So, thats how many ethnic groups you have issues with now? 3? Heh...looks like you added one.

WeeuuurggH!H! phfffweuurrghhhHH!!.... .... urghh... *****-eye* WOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUURRGGHHH!H!!!!!!!! me dad.

As if that weren't dead ace! Come on Jass! I'll pay for your train!! I owe you a couple of favours!!

Dave, money is not the main problem. The problem would be having the power to catch a bus, then train to get up to sunny Burnley after an all night 360 sesh out my own house. Another time definately

[TommyG]

I'm honestly sad to say this Dave but i won't be coming. Honestly mate really appreciate the friendly offer but i've got prior plans with some local mates coming round to sample the delights that will be PDZ and PGR3. Quite gutted i'm missing out any other day and time and i would have been there and in like flin. Make sure you give me a heads up on your next meet as i always enjoy a gaming sesh

EDIT: Make sure you add to your friends list! I've been without LIVE since i sold my box 3 weeks ago, so i'll no doubt be on there 24/7 in the next few weeks ^ ^

[dataDave]

I've been boxless too. I'm sure you're already on there though.

NTL have said they will DEFFO install my broadband on Friday - ****ing messers.

Oh man!! The 360 packaging is so sweet!! The box is well smaller than I expected. I love the dark metallic green security sticker too.

I even smelled the box for a pre-release spoiler.
