Retrovision 2008 - the PIX :-)

[Bog]

We're so still flyin'

Sunday suck. I love you all.

Sorry to whoever the thin chap was who I hadn't met before who I didn't want to show my memorandum-book to - I was a bit drunk and I suddenly thought "No! I don't know you!". Drunkenly.

Aside from that, as ever, for 72 hours I was *home* at a *home port* and I felt safe and loved. It was brilliant. Again. As ever.

While unpacking I noticed that my SNES hadn't travelled well


It looks just a little battered on top (and the cartridge slot was already like that)


Ouch that's a big hole that wasn't there before


And another


Luckily after a little tinkering I managed to bring it back to life

I think I shall leave it's battle scars as they are to remind of the last RV I went by train

And it shall return next year for more Bomberman action

Cheers
Rob

I think I killed my liver...

That was, quite simply, fucking excellent
Massive thanks to all involved for a great weekend, awesome to see everyone again, and Rock Band - FUCK YEAH

Pics to come once I finish limping through the working day -think my body reconfigured itself over the weekend to use alcohol as its primary fuel source. Reality, as always, is a bit of a shock to the system.
But believe me, I am still alive

[WiteWulf]

Dude...you managed to survive one of the most epic Munckin games I've ever witnessed...you should be proud of yourself...I think the alcohol helped everyone survive that

I must say I don’t think i’ve ever had so much fun in my entire life.
I met a bunch of fantastic people, won some *awesome* prizes and finally got a chance to play Space Giraffe, which was most righteous indeed plus, I enjoyed some of the greatest multiplayer experiences I'll probably have for a while(until next year?)

Mayhem's song on saturday was awesome too

Mayhem's song on saturday was awesome too

Did anyone record it?

I could do with a laugh.

[Mayhem]

I have no idea, but I could probably do with a laugh too

In the meantime, afair this is what came out of my mouth...!

This was a triumph
I'm making a note here, "Huge success!"
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction
[needless to say everyone sang these three lines as soon as they realised what I was starting!]

For Retrovision
We party on hard, because we can
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who aren't here
But there's no sense moping, there's no need to worry
You just keep on playing till you run out of curry
Markie's number one gun, and we had a lot of fun
With the people who are at RV

Why shouldn't you believe me?
I'm being so sincere right now
For the love of Llamasoft and sheepies
Bog's licked me to pieces
And he's made me drink too much by far
As my brain swirls I still know
I am so happy I'm here
Now I'm sure I'll recover and I will be fine
You can guarentee I will return one more time
So I'm glad it's been said, nowhere else to be instead
With the people who are at RV

You don't want to leave here
I know you'd prefer to stay inside
Are we missing someone who should be here?
Maybe Highwayman
That was a joke, hah hah, fat chance
Anyway this curry's great
It's so delicious and hot
Look at me still spouting when there's drinking to do
When I look out there it makes me glad I'm with you
There were competitions run, guitar jamming to be done
With the people who are at RV

And believe me this rocks at RV
There's lots of raffles to win at RV
We're gonna drink the bar dry at RV
Amy will wedgie some at RV
So many memories come at RV
At RV
At RV...

Did anyone record it?

I heard a rumour that someone has indeed videoed it.

I heard a few names mentioned - Peltazoid, Pyroxian and Juice - but i'm not sure which (if any) of them actually managed to grab it......

My Pics from RV hope you guys enjoy, i used to love looking at all other peoples photos after RV.

And where pray tell is the photo of my perfect score on Wii Bowling?!!?!

I only ask because the guys at work do not believe me.



Cheers and nice to meet you again at the event and to all of the others I had the pleasure to speak to!

Mwah hah hah...

I didn't quite capture it all (I was laughing too much at the start and didn't hit record, so I'm missing the first 30 seconds or so), but yes: it's been captured and cunning plans are being made...

Who's this guy talking to Markie?


Great pics BTW.

It's a random regular from the pub: Markie blew his mind, so he stopped for a chat. He was equally bemused when people took photos of them, exclaiming something along the lines of "I'm small and black, he's huge and green"!

RV: catering for all sizes, colours and curry preferences

[WiteWulf]

While we're on the subject of the slightly strange regulars in The Fooly, did anyone else get cornered by 'Charlie' the definitely-not-an-MI5 agent, honest guv'nor who was banging on about how he didn't use an avatar so as to 'minimize his online presence and prevent fraud'? He was banging on about library systems and NGA at one point, too.....truly odd bloke and very difficult to get rid of! He collared myself, DungeonDave and D at one point and I think LamptonWorm got an earful, too...

Should I be worried?
