I PREDICT ANOTHER SUB ZERO RETRO RUMPUS!

lol quiet you!!!

nae problem mark, it'll be their loss (and us public peeps) if they dont get in touch and get you guys together!!!

I've spoken to the guys in the band, and frankly all agree we need a change. We kept it a secret, but we have a new drummer and keyboard player, and we were going to seriously revamp our set for the Games Britannia event. Naturally, this hasn't happen now, and I doubt SID80s will appear as the acoustic line up we have more recently. I think we'll only play again if there's time to do something quite different. As someone said, and of course we realise, we're pretty much playing the same set we did 9 years ago.

It's all a question of priorities. I'm trying to get my chiptune album done, and I'd actually like to put something together to gig that...

So, who is going to this from here? It's just down the road from where I live now, and it's been aaages since I had any retrogamey action, so I was thinking I might head in.

I read somewhere else that Jeff & Giles are going, so I was thinking it'd be good chance to say hi again.. do these events usually have a big YY following?

[Mayhem]

Sadly not... it's the weekend after I go to Germany, and I have neither the time nor money to be able to do it. Maybe next year.

[subzero]

sadly not, cant afford it this year!

I'm definately heading along, very excited PM me if you'd like to meet up.

I'm going can't wait - train and hotel are all now sorted. If its as good as Blackpool last year it will be epic. Although 2 days without access to Dark Souls will be a test for me.

I'm really hoping there will be someone with 4 player Xbox and a copy of Mashed again I wasted half of Sunday last year on this and Sensible Soccer on the Amiga

Of course can't wait to say hello to Jeff and Giles again and find out what's next in the pipeline

Too ill to travel

[korruptor]

I'll be there.

Oh that's a shame, it would've been nice to say 'hi'! Hope you get better soon

BTW - it's been so long since I went to any retro event that I've completely forgotten what almost all of you look like
If I know you (or even if you don't), you'll have to come say hi before you get any trace of recognition I'm afraid!

That said, I'm generally friendly so do introduce yourself if we haven't met. For reference, here's a silly picture of me (yes, yes, I know, I'm sporting an impressive horn, I was at a pony-themed party, long story).

You'll be NO ONE UNLESS ... .. you tint your hair the same way the mane of Rainbow Dash is

Now that's something I'd like to see

Haha - the girlfriend said I should do exactly the same thing! I decided it'd be too hard to do myself. If I go to another event in the future, I might go to a hairdressers and get them to do it... although I might feel a bit silly pulling out a picture of Rainbow Dash and saying "COLOUR MY HAIR LIKE THIS PONY, PLEASE"!

I wanted to go Purple but have been so busy I haven't been able to get to town to buy any.. so I just went with some Pink I had lying around. Is it just me, or has my hair been pink for every forum meet I've been to... ?

PS: Will your Celestia be making an appearance tomorrow? I could bring our Pinkie Pie Train to show-and-tell!

Here's a short video from the event (in full 1080p, have been experimenting with my D7000). Llamasoft stand is there at the 1:55 mark...
