Title: Southern Arizona arcade meet-up
Post by: Ummon on January 30, 2009, 04:57:23 am
I'm thinking of working up an arcade meet. The places I know are Castles and Coasters and Gameworks.


Also, if anyone in Tucson wants to do Golf N Stuff or the Gameworks at the Foothills mall, let me know.

Been a while since the last PHX meet up at C&C, I'd be game for either location. C&C has a nice collection of Pins so it's my preference, but it's also super close to my house, so I feel guilty if everyone else is coming from all over the valley. I'll go with whatever the consensus dictates.

I'm with you on selection. It's not much difference for me, either way, though. We've gotten some views, but only your reply so far. I may have to break protocol and post in Main. Of course, if someone with a home arcade is interested in hosting something, I'd pitch in for food and such.

I'm down with either location but my preference is C&C for the same reason as Zero's.   I'm sure Haruman will join in, too.

Hmm...

C&C gets my vote over gameworks...  although Gameworks does have SF4 now, not sure about C&C.

Depending on when its going down, I'd be in.  Another vote for C&C also for the pins.
Title: Re: Southern Arizona arcade meet-up
Post by: Ummon on February 05, 2009, 02:02:39 am
Ah, cool. I only just caught mention of your 'condition', Goz, so I didn't know if you were up for it. No surprise on the voting. I'll post a 'heads-up' in Main just for coverage, and then we'll look at a date.

I'm out of town the weekend of Feb 27th so try to avoid that weekend, if possible.  I'd really like to make this.
Title: Re: Southern Arizona arcade meet-up
Post by: Boz on February 06, 2009, 01:29:03 am
C&C gets my vote. They have  Tekken 6 and some bitchin new games just purchased in the last 6 months. David Edge (GM) and the gameroom manager are planning a pinball tournament in the coming months too. I'd be hard pressed to go anywhere they don't have lots of pins.

Regardless of where and when we do the meet-up, please post when you get any specifics about a pinball tourney @ C&C, I have no doubt I'd get schooled, but that would be very cool.

Alright. Looks like this may be our full group, so let's figure a date. (Others can trickle in and  make what is decided on, or not.) Since Somunny's gonna be gone the weekend of the 27th, we got this coming weekend and next. Or it could be first weekend of March, etc. Also, what day, Sat or Sun?
Title: Re: Southern Arizona arcade meet-up
Post by: Zero_Hour on February 09, 2009, 08:29:23 pm
Either Sat. or Sun. work for me, I would prefer 1st week of March. Based on our previous jaunt to C&C, we should definitely call ahead and make sure they don't have any private parties.

Post by: Boz on February 10, 2009, 01:40:30 am
If we meet Mon-Thu, they have half price arcade credit buys. Other times are full price. I'm open pretty much any weekend. Goz... what's the schedule look like? Not traveling to Bolivia this weekend are you?
Title: Re: Southern Arizona arcade meet-up
Post by: Boz on February 10, 2009, 01:44:36 am
I'm sure Haruman will join in

Gonna have to check on his 'condition'. He says he's been out from a hernia operation. Probably tried to bench press Pixelhuggers cab.

I'm good.  It's been 2.5 weeks since the operation, I'm back at about 95% now.  Like other people, weekends work best for me.

The weekend of March 7th works for me.

Ha, no ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. I remembered and then forgot to mention that. There are parties on the 7th, 28th, and 29th, until 1pm, so we'd have to meet then. Or do the 8th or wait till the fourteenth.

That would be great, especially because then you can hear the classic games, but even more so the pinballs - both of which they seem to never have turned up!

Nope not traveling to Bulgaria this weekend. All my travel is put on hold at the moment. If its this weekend I wont know until tonight or possibly as late as Friday depending on how some personal stuff plays out.Sorry to sound wishy washy about it, but its the closest I can come to committing at the moment.

Been almost a week. Any updates?  I'm okay with this coming weekend, or the next, there's just no calendar of events for the rest of this month, and I haven't called yet.
Title: Re: Southern Arizona arcade meet-up
Post by: Zero_Hour on February 18, 2009, 11:25:14 pm
I'm cool with this weekend.
Title: Re: Southern Arizona arcade meet-up
Post by: Ummon on February 20, 2009, 03:39:46 am
I'm guessing not for everyone else.

Yeah. How's about March 7 then?

That works for me :)
Title: Re: Southern Arizona arcade meet-up
Post by: Ummon on February 21, 2009, 05:57:33 pm
I'm fine with that, though like mentioned above, there's a party which means the place isn't open to the public till 1pm. Which, thinking about it, is probably good timing.
Title: Re: Southern Arizona arcade meet-up
Post by: Aceldamor on February 27, 2009, 10:47:35 am
I would like to partake in these BYOAC festivities!! C&C would be cool indeed...just for the pins  :cheers:

March 7th then? Is there a definite time? Just so I can calendar it  ;D

It sounds like there is a private party that day, so after 1 PM ?  Showing up @ 1 PM sounds good to me, anyone else care to chime in?

Title: Re: Southern Arizona arcade meet-up
Post by: Ummon on February 27, 2009, 05:01:41 pm
That's what it's lookin like. Definitely 1300 or later, as it notes on the site that parties are 'closed' affairs.
Title: Re: Southern Arizona arcade meet-up
Post by: Zero_Hour on March 02, 2009, 12:35:34 am
I'm definitely good for after 1pm on the 7th.
Title: Re: Southern Arizona arcade meet-up
Post by: Ummon on March 02, 2009, 01:06:15 am
Well, I hollered at those who haven't posted in a little while. Goz ain't been here since the 21st, and Boz hasn't since the 10th, so we'll see. Steve probly just has forgotten, cos he's been here. So I guess we'll say yes, depending on ya all. I'm available either way.

I think somunny might have completed his Ark project...  in which case his face probably melted off right after.   ;D

I'll have on a swanky BYOAC cap. 8) See you in the pins.
Title: Re: Southern Arizona arcade meet-up
Post by: Ummon on March 05, 2009, 08:34:30 pm
Righto, then. If anyone knows how else to contact Goz and Boz, I suggest you do so. I think Goz said he was RGVAC or whatever (obviously I'm not).
Title: Re: Southern Arizona arcade meet-up

Goz can't, Boz can

Ah, cool. I'm wondering if anyone has a VGA to BNC (5) cable I could scab off of or something and if so can you bring it?
Title: Re: Southern Arizona arcade meet-up
Post by: Ummon on March 08, 2009, 10:53:58 pm
Had a fun time meeting everyone and playing games. I have a bunch of images on my phone, but have to find a special cable to get 'em off. I think I'll post them in Main for everyone to see.

Good times....   have to do it again sometime.  Maybe we can get even more members out.  :cheers:

Had a great time, and everyone was very cool. I must say...Zero is very pinball wizardish in his ability to get replays on Spiderman!
Title: Re: Southern Arizona arcade meet-up
Post by: Zero_Hour on March 09, 2009, 11:51:08 am
Good times indeed. Both Spiderman and The Shadow were treating me well Saturday. I'm definitely down for the next time around whenever that may be. :cheers:
Title: Re: Southern Arizona arcade meet-up

Well, maybe we can get a more regular - perhaps at least bi-annually - thing going.

Sorry I couldn't make it guys
Title: Re: Southern Arizona arcade meet-up
Post by: Ummon on April 02, 2009, 05:01:04 pm
No worries. I was thinking again this month, but I want to make a visit during the week, when it's quiet so I can hear all the pins. So how about another in May?
Title: Re: Southern Arizona arcade meet-up
Post by: Ummon on May 18, 2009, 03:06:44 am
Anybody wanna do this again some time soon?
