ZapCon 2015 Roll Call

[harveybirdman]

So who do you know at the FBI, that sourced you that Polybius PCB? 

Can you now remotely mind control Nep?

[yotsuya]

Can you now remotely mind control Nep?

I'd rather remotely control superfine Hot Goth Girl to come sit on my lap...

Didn't see any thong like we did at Zapcon 2014, tho.

I dunno...  I'll give she was pretty hot but so were the Power Pill girls...

[yotsuya]

But the Power Pill girls were supposed to be eye candy. Hot Goth Girl was just being herself...

Don't ruin my illusions, I totally assumed the power pill gals were just aficionados of knee socks and hot shorts.  They made me feel kinda funny, like when I'd climb the rope in gym class...

Oh, don't get me wrong, they were primo, too, but there's something about a Hot Goth Girl with no tats that I find appealing. The beautiful people, the beautiful people.

Not getting a pic with the power pillers is my second biggest regret of Zapcon.  My first is not loading up a pin to take as my carry-on for the flight home. 

My third is when I dropped that cab on top of Yots and left him for dead.

The idea is to attract customers...

One of the Power Pill girls was playing some House of the Dead with me and I swear she was channeling Mario, she was showing so much plumber's crack.

No complaints though.   

[ChanceKJ]

Right on.  I thought he had made it.

He was too busy having a sleep-over in his red tent.

Baaahahaha, That was pretty clever.

i saw that first post with my name and was like ..."Wait... what?  How long was i out for on Saturday?!  "

[TacoTownCharlie]

Yotsuya,
Thanks for the shout-out.  My son and I had a great time Saturday.  He is only 15 and I don't think he could find the words to describe Polybius  .  I had a great time with all the pins and a great time with the SpyHunter stand-up.  So nice to play that game with the right controls (but the music could have been louder).  Not too far from that was a Karate Champ game.  I really enjoy the simple pleasure of walking White up to Red and using a front kick to send Red's 'nads up to his lungs.
I will have to plan better next year, my two youngest (10 and 7) wanted to go Sunday but we couldn't find the time.  I'll get my wife to come out also, she has a few favorites that I saw.  And my neighbor, she and I have a high score contest on Centipede.  I finally moved the MAME cab out to the carport so that she could play when we are not home.

Good deal, my friend. You need to join us for all the BYOAC festivities next year. And we gotta get you your own shirt!

[yotsuya]

That looked like a lot of fun.  Thanks for posting pics.  I may try to make it in a future year.

Dude, don't worry, you're on the list of guys who gotta come!

[ChanceKJ]

theres a list?

[Nephasth]

Finally back home after 1980 miles round trip. It was great meeting everyone, and thanks for everything!

Dude, I give you so much credit for sacking up and making the drive out. It was awesome to finally hang out with you. Looking forward to next year! 

[yotsuya]

Yeah, we came up with a list of guys who needed to come out next year while we were scarfing down at the buffet.

[yotsuya]

Early design idea for next year's shirt - second annual meetup, get it?!

[ChanceKJ]

  hahahaha,

...wait, no. 

[yotsuya]

hahahaha,

...wait, no. 

It's either Player 2, or Two Grooms (not that there's anything wrong with that). It'd be cool to have the P1 button shirt one year, and the P2 button the next. Maybe not Encom Style, but I gotta work the P2 button in again. People liked them. Someone even asked a BYOACer if they'd build them a MAME cab!

Are these festivities "Wife" safe?

Everything but the secret reveal at the buffet, but I asked RetroGreg and MelvinBates if it was cool first.

I am planning to come out next year and I think the wife might come with but I dont want her to be super board or see any weird stuff.

Try to keep the wife at home. It's easier to have a sausagefest that way, although we DID have two females join us at The Monetary and StarFighters, courtesy of Jawhn. Jawhn ALWAYS delivers.

If you do come, you have to bring your Mario suit too so you can take photos with MelvinBates' kid.

[yotsuya]

Ha! A couple more photos from ZapCon. The first is the Phoenix KLOV crew, with some BYOACers sprinkled it. The second is Me y El Chuck during breakdown time.

[RetroGreg]

Nice pics! It really was a blast. Can't wait until next year now. 

[yotsuya]

Same here.

Yeah, it was awesome meeting you guys. I might do a meetup/party here at Casa de Yotsuya soon so we can all hang out again, since no one went to the afterparty at HaRuMaN's.

[Rick]

Yeah, we came up with a list of guys who needed to come out next year while we were scarfing down at the buffet.

So, who's on this magical list?

Maybe it's good I can't get bright pink...might give off the wrong idea...I mean I do have pierced ears and all...

Seriously.  You keep talking about this list.  It's been talked about so much I'm starting to think it's a Polybius cab....

And you kids even made the local news here.

[harveybirdman]

So, who's on this magical list?

The Queen, The Vatican,  The Rothchilds, The Getteys,  and Colonel Sanders before he went tits up....

[yotsuya]

If you need to ask, bro, you're probably not on it. 

Although there IS a Canadian on it... 

[Vigo]

I just wanna say thanks for letting me treat you guys to dinner even if I couldn't make it this year. Make room, because next year, the Carpathian is going beast mode in Mesa.

But seriously, man, your gesture was really awesome. We had a great time at the buffet, and I split up all the loot you sent me into the SwagBags. Although Chuck wanted to know why you sent Home Town Buffet Birth Control Pills.
