Gamma 3.0 (local gaming centre event) is coming up on Saturday. Off work next week. And not long until Fallout 4.

Better still, Saturday is what we call in Tarn 'feyt club'. Hopefully the Neo Geo rig will be back and it's dominance time.

I went to Game on 2.0 ,which sounds numerically inferior to your local games event, but is supposedly (I'm struggling to believe) the worlds largest collection of playable computer games from the last 60 years.
It was fun, but I didn't get to play on much, my son (who's idea it was) kept wanting to see Mario through the ages, which kind of limited my options. Plus he's only 7 so a lot the games were well over his head.
I ended up spending most my time on the Amiga 500+ that was running Lemmings.
Scattered around the display were other Amiga titles, including The Secret of Monkey Island, I was dying for a go. But it's hardly a 5 minute here and there game. Haha.
Also, things look very dated when you have a direct comparison about a foot away.

The local centre is opening soon. 6v6 lan for shooters... I mostly go for retro and fighters though. Hell, my main is my av now. Fight Club is Saturday, and that's my main calling for it. I'm nearly unstoppable. Fuahahahahaha.

Maybe he should join the rule breaking club instead. Their first rule is that you have to break their first rule.

Fiddler the cat is living up to his namesake again. I bought some slate table mats and coasters and all he's done since he figured out they were there is try to eat them (has resulted in some brilliant feline facial expressions of disgust) and move them about. They're a bit heavier than he was anticipating mind.... This cat. Seriously.

Interesting bedside manner. I take it you went private rather than public?

Oh, and btw, these days we call it a "four" or "4".

FINALLY played some BBCSEx against an actual human opponent in person tonight. Seems like we have a scene going in Barnsley now for it.
