Thanks to one and all for making RV2007 really REALLY cool.
Still can't believe PsychoRob got all that gear to RV on a train!?!

Cheers to Vintage Matt too for letting us beat him at his own games on the wii!!

Much kudos too for Exobuzz's setup and the cool games on the A1200 inc. Sensi!

Nice to meet more of you this time round!

Cheers

That was my first RV. Top effort Markie.

Some photos.

Steve is so hardcore that he subconsciously throws the goat when he's playing.

Highly enchuffened with the ZZAP cover art I won in the raffle. - Goes great with Bogs fabby Sanxion artwork (same size prints too!).

Nice.

Oxford's a fucking nightmare to park in. Also, the Athena guest house couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery.

Absolutely aces!
Meeting such friendly people was awesome... The welcomes and hugs were utterly fantastic for a first time vistitor... Markie thank you for organising such a fantastic weekend! And to everyone else who brought tech, and helped set everthing up, well done! It's wicked to put faces to people to the people on here... and especially so for the ones who play Gears every week... Worm and Mr Cuchion were just fucking lovely to meet for the 1st time... everyone got on so well it was just magic to be there! I met some really nice people and can't wait to do this all again!

The Mighty Bog was a big smashing bear! (And I got the legendary face lick!) Really lovely to be around... Amy was a little angel for bringing a printer down for me! And I got my face licked from her as well! She did also give a HUGE bite on my man boob so thats an added bonus! Wonderful atmosphere to the whole event.... Jeff and Giles were friendly and smashing to meet (Even when I cornered them for pics as they were coming out of the toilet!) Space Giraffe looks wonderful and like everyone I can't wait to really spend some time on that! Oxo was another friendly sod who I enjoyed having a natter with! So many great people to have a chat with..... truly wonderful! And thanks to the staff at the Port Mahon for being an added bonus with the looking after all of us and the top class food!

To all of you bastards thanks and well done for making this such a stunning weekend!
Dont force it up.... you'll break my heart.

Finally made it back 'oop North'. The weather was a nightmare and it rained ALL the way home - which made for some interesting driving conditions - a repeat of last October with people driving 2 inches off your bumper without their headlights on. Great fun!! :?

Anyways - it was indeed a blast and I had a great time - it was nice to catch up with some of the folks I met at the October Oxford Jolly and also to meet some new faces too (particularly Matt, TwistedScrote and Mr Cuchion).

It was also excellent to get a chance to play Space Giraffe - I really enjoyed that and will definately be picking it up when MS finally get their arses in gear and release it.

Thanks to everyone involved - Markie, Rob and Matt (for carting ALL that gear up from Exeter), Exobuzz - and anyone else I might have forgotten......

See you all again next year :D

Got back too. Drove most of the way back in the rain following a red Vauxhall about 2 inches from it's bumper without my headlights on ;)

Just to add my own thanks to everyone who got this gig together and schlepped kit from the four corners of the country.

What was nice about this RV was that it was much more social, and far less geeky - and IMO this made the gaming all the better.

It's a given that there's good gaming, good drinking and good eating at RV nowadays - thanks to all the hard work that goes into preparing it.

But it's the little things that really make it. My own high point was winning the Space Giraffe high score compo - I still maintain I won not because I scored the most, but because I died the least. :) And then the icing on the cake was being presented with a lovely little Merino glass giraffe from Jeff and Giles.

Image

A lovely gesture - and one that put a big shit-eating grin on my face. Oh, and Space Giraffe is a blast by the way. You'll love it. Must name the giraffe... (That's some of Butterbeans wool in the background - it was keeoping the Giraffe all snuggly and safe in his box...)

So cheers to everyone who helped me enjoy the weekend - in no particular order
Ladybird and Paul - Nurse and father of the patient ;)
Amy - Have guitar, will bounce (looking forward to more guitar wankery next time)
Illogikill - Looking forward to Guilfest
Psychorob - Mad skillz for setting up the big screen + poratables for 4 Swords made large
Vintage_Matt & Leekfiend - or should that be Vintage[space]Matt and dodgydildo?
WiredWorm & Trolley - great to see you both again. Will try to do better at staying in touch...
Jeff and Giles - for the obvious reason...
Markie & Sarah (& Rebeckah, of course) - :) just thanks
And everyone else who I chatted to/played with...

Really enjoyed this year. Looking forward to the next time...

Thats a coincidence, the C64 Artwork raffle for the Richard Joseph Charity, was won with the number 64. :lol: good pick there lans :D

Fantastic weekend, got back at about 4, did a slideshow for the missues (she wanted to see the photos!!!!) on the wii, just getting chance to post. will add some photo's shortly, need to upload to flickr.

Kudos to Mr Rayson for organising the event and looking forward to seeing you all again in February. Was great seeing those who I have met before and meeting those I have not.

Having a problem remembering the name of the guy who played me at excite truck this afternoon, good game (same goes to all those who I had a game with at something or other!!!!!) all tho they were famous last words, "I have not been beaten at this" :D



May RV be with you!!!!! Always.
