So can we get a list of who is going on which days?


I'll be there all 4




Also have we decided on our late night activities?

Saturday

Also it's all in the OP, we'll decide on the night when n where we head to the next place

Have I left it too late for my usual schtick of sofa begging?

I suppose

Just one day.

You need a place too?

 

[Screaming Meat]

You need a place too?

Aw thanks muchly, Mush, but imma gonna catch the train back. I'll be up earlish and I got shit to do on Sunday.

 

[Spookie]

Leaving tomorrow for the train to London. Looking forward to it

Same

8am, Thursday. Get queuing!

No worries.

Just me n you then bandit

Oh don't remind me. I just hope it's dry enough to sit on the day and we don't get moved too much.

Leaving in about an hour, bus into town then train from Glasgow to London. Then the joys of navigating the London Underground (thankfully, I've printed off the route I need ).

Can't wait til Thursday queuing aside that is.

 

[Mikeside]

No worries.

Just me n you then bandit

buh chikka WAH WAH

 

[BGBW]

I have a spare bed.

The catch is that it's in a air-raid shelter that has no heating, water, electricity or even a door. Also no spare mattress.

But it's a bunk bed so at least you have choice of top or bottom.

 

[dapperbandit]

Oh my.

I have a spare bed.

I honestly don't know which is the safer option.

[BGBW]

Three? Sorry guys, two is my limit. I'll have to bow out now.

Used up all your Scotland jokes during the referendum? for shame, and here I thought you had a huge stash of them.

 

[Lirlond]

All the Gamewank and Bitsocket guys are gonna be at Eurogamer. Thats... 6 more glaswegians at least

 

[Stuart444]

Up and ready for EGX. 2 hour queue, yay lol. Have fun whoever is going today

 

[Mikeside]

Day 1:

Spookie got some rare DOTA stuff but couldn't afford to come to dinner due to extreme spending

EVOLVE is great - really fun team play, though frustrating when you can't find the monster for half the game.

Alien Isolation is hard but a lot of fun. Really does feel like a proper Alien game. I feel like once you get used to the AI it'll be easy to game the system though.

Driveclub and Project CARS are both definitely racing games.

Helldivers is still incredibly fun and reminds me of Magicka meets Starship Troopers.

Hotline Miami 2 is a lot like the first one.

Splatoon is loads of fun but feels like it needs a lot of mini games and stuff to be worth more than £15.

Nofs is amazing at Smash Bros but didn't win a 3DS.

Seeing your ex at a gaming convention is mortifyingly awkward. No it wasn't Zoe Quinn.

The Order seems fine but isn't mechanically as satisfying as the million games that play just like it.

Elite Dangerous seems incredible. Playing the demo on an x52 joystick setup has convinced me to invest in an X52 Pro ASAP

 

[openrob]

So whats the deal tomorrow guys?
When is best to get down there for (my ticket says 11am). Will people be meeting up in the venue, as I'm going by myself?
Thanks!

I'm not sure what queues will be like, I'd say get there for at least 10 if not before? Yeah there'll be a few of us meeting up there.

I'll be wearing my Gaf t-shirt, it has my avatar on the back.

I'll look for it!
I'll be in FFXIV yukata cosplay.

I was thinking of joining you guys at the pub tonight, but by the time I got out of EGX it was like 8pm, so I had no idea where you'd be.

Pub meet is tomorrow, for egx attendees and non attendees alike.

 

[Mr. Sam]

I'm setting off in a minute for my afternoon ticket. If you see a man in a Dragon Ball t-shirt, a blue hoody and grey jeans, probably playing Everybody's Golf while he queues, do not approach him - he's likely to get violent (especially if you mess up the timing of a shot).

 

[Musha_Soturi]

We're in the pub now

In attendance at the pub now:

Musha_Soturi
jimbor
BGBW
afoni
shorty_symd
zomgbbqftw

[openrob]

Heading to pub, guessing it won't be hard to spot you?

 

[Xun]

Should be there later, not sure what time though.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Yeah, having a bit of an emergency and only just got overground. Won't be there. Sorry and have a good one.

 

[Musha_Soturi]

Should be there later, not sure what time though.

We'll be in this pub till 8 then we're heading to somewhere else for food, I'll let you know where we end up.

Edit: we're on North End Road gonna get food from some fast food joint then go to The Slug, Fulham.

Edit: We're all in the Slug now

 

[7aged]

Thinking of joining you guys. I'm currently in Angel waiting for flaky friends. Might jump ship. Where are you guys at? Oh, I've got trainers on unfortunately. I've been out and about all day didn't have time to go home and get changed

We're at the slug at fulham. Trainers are fine

 

[SKINNER!]

Incredible meetup and unforgettable night once again. Thanks to everyone I met hope you all had a wonderful evening. Thanks to eggybob for guiding me to the right bus back to my hostel. I'm off to get some sleep now. Good night

 

[Xun]

Sorry for not being able to make it in the end.

By the time I managed to leave it was already pretty late, and the travel to Fulham would've been a pain without the District Line.

Next time!

Any pics taken?

 

[Musha_Soturi]

 

[BGBW]

Look at all them Ians.

 

[Mikeside]

Look at all them Ians.

Rockin' it like an Ian.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

BGBW looking sharp with the new doo. Mike still looking like an emo lion. Noffs still looking like a cunt

really missed you chaps this weekend, my sadness was palpable. NEXT TIME

 

[SKINNER!]

Ian would've been pleased.

 

[Mikeside]

We missed you too buddy.
You have you come to a game expo next time, I think you'd love dicking about and playing shit like Gang Beasts

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

But gameeeeers...! I just think it would bring out my inner bastard. I'm a far nicer person when there's not fifty thousand gamers around me to take the piss out of. And (shhhhhh but) I don't think I'm into modern games any more...

And yeah, I got to practice yesterday with all my LEZ money and Johnny said he doesn't need it yet, so I probably coulda come out. WAAAAAH

 

[Son Of D]

As you might be able to tell, I got drunk fast. Was on my third drink rather quickly. And I'm usually the slowest drinker. Anyway, here are a few more pictures. Some of these are ones I took and some are ones from the Whatsapp group.

 

[SKINNER!]

BGBW was getting invited into selfie pics by numerous random chicks at the dancefloor because of that pikachu hat. Him, Eggybob and I were all hardcore gaffers 'til the bitter end singing Grease medleys and Bohemian Rhapsody.

What a glorious night!

Btw, is that dating game on Android?

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

Musha looking super cute in some of these <3

 

[eggybob]

It may not look great that we were all around my phone playing matchmaker but that was possibly the most fun I've had playing a phone game before

 

[Musha_Soturi]

Dawwww thanks Jed, is it the buns? Mike said he liked the buns.

It may not look great that we were all around my phone playing matchmaker but that was possibly the most fun I've had playing a phone game before

I bought it

Seriously, in most of the pictures of me from that night I'm focused intently on your phone, compelling stuff.

 

[openrob]

Hey guys, was great to meet you all, even if it was only briefly. Look forward to the next meetup

 

[Musha_Soturi]

Lovely to meet you too buddy! You showing up ticked our quota for a newbie! Come and hang out in the BritGaf thread, and I'll let you know when the next one is.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

Yeah probs being surrounded by a bunch of nerds probably doesn't hurt either haha

People love hats. Time to invest in a proper Pikachu cap.

 

[jimbor]

I also bought the Kitty Powers dating game. It's on both android and ios.

me too. it's amazing.

 

[Stuart444]

I was thinking about coming but in the end, EGX just took it out of me lol.

Glad you all had fun. Maybe someday I'll come to a meet up with you lot.

 

[Indrid Cold1]

To the three people above: Certainly. Email me Rupert at Eurogamer dot net and I'll sort!

Sorry mate but are you Rupert Loman, the big boss of Eurogamer? Just wanted to chime in and thank you for the years of enjoyment I have had out of the site, if so. Cheers!

Err, sorry for the derail Brit-gits.
