January Shindig

I’ve yet to attend one :(
Hopefully this time I will be able to go, you up for it Nooptical?

Very much doubt I’ll be able to make a January shindig.

Lenin and Stalin did not do what they did for the power. They did it so I’d be stuck at home studying every bloody detail of their existence in anticipation of one very important exam at the end of the month! ;)

I should be able to go, will know for sure closer to the event…. :)

Kool, try and get Aaron and Oz to come along(the less said about Chris the better)too, should be a laugh.

Last Friday of the month is the 28th?

I’ll be MIA until at least June

Jamie

unfortunately I am in London on the 28th for the Digiplay seminar – see calendar – on games and learning and education and gender…will probably head to Germany the following week…

Aphra.

28th is grand for me… will have a concert over at earlsfort terrace till about 10…

no problem to come find you all later though. Toners is only round the corner..

will Jenny be there this time i wonder?

We will try and get them to come along, could be a challenge though!
I think Chris should be barred unless he agrees never to dance in public again……ever.

This is the one year anniversary of our first ever IGDA meeting. Perhaps we should celebrate it be doing something different…

May I suggest we have our January shindig on Friday the 4th of February??

that date would get my vote! As for doing something different – any ideas?

I’m writing a 1yr retrospective for the site at the moment

I too like the concept of having a January shindig in February.

Name the date I’ll be there, Skyclad if theres nothing happening in January we should go for a jar anyway. And Ronny, whats all this Anti-Hoff alliance bollocks?!?

*fires multiple Hoff Planes at everyone*

That date is fine for me…..

Simple, my friend. It’s in response to how ridiculously far this whole thing has been taken.

I thought I would be able to ignore it. Now I find myself watching a show about him on the Biography Channel and sending 1000s of pics of your hero to my girlfriend.

This needs to stop now before you infect everyone!!!

One of us, one of us, one of us……..

NEVER!!

This………………….will not stand, man, this aggression will not stand! You may be overdue a visit from the Hoffstapo, shadowy underground figures who rub Regaine on your chest as you silently slumber and then shampoo your hair with Hollywood Strength Volume Plus Pantene before finally removing your pyjamas leaving you with only two puppies to cover your……………………self…

Excuse me if you will, I have to go and make a phonecall

so it looks like the Hoff fan club is meeting..have you agreed on a date so we can circulate it and publicise it???

Aphra.

Friday 4th seems to be the favourite – no objections yet.

Perhaps we should all come dressed as David Hasselhoff. His entire following (Pete) seems to be in a hyper frenzy over him right now.

Not just me Ronny, the WHOLE world.
http://www.gamehoffelopers.ie anyone?

Word to the wise, don’t click the link above, it doesn’t exist (yet!)

If anyone actually clicked on that link they should be erased from the genepool…… ;)

phew ! saved..

i SOOOoooo nearly clicked on it :D

Hours of fun!!!

:D

So, date is set for the 4th then?

Anywan able to book the room, or has everyone emigrated from Dublin? I can try and sort it over the weekend if not.

Dave

Check it out – Toners has a website! – huge url for soem reason:

Nice. Oh and eh…banned for a month!

The jokes are starting to get Hoffally bad in here :)

And don’t even think of giving me any Hassle for posting that :)
Mal

yes it would be a good idea if someone in Dublin could impersonate Jenny and book a couple of tables..

If you PM me I can give you details…

Aphra.

Feck (h)off Mal, the jokes are just getin’ good!!!

Anybody saw that ‘awards’ thing with Jonathan Ross last night? The Hoff’ was co-presenting :D
(& Ross didn’t pass on the Germany jokes, nor did the Hoff pass on the Berlin Wall affair :D )

I saw that Steph, and thought to myself:
“I hope Pete is watching this!”

The Hoffmeister General had the audience eating out of the palm of his hand, a consumate professional. Probably the greatest actor ever to have lived……

yeah, he fairly milked the Berlin Wall thing – at least he stopped short of claiming he was partly responsible for bringing it down, as he’s done on occasion

http://www.gamehoffelopers.ie anyone?[/quote:69d28f5b1e] i admit it – i tried clicking it… for having me threatened with erasure from the genepool I hereby pledge my undying revenge, McNally!

The G.D.R.F(Gene Destruction & Restructuring Force) is on its way to you right now Idora……

Lets hope they go for Restructure as opposed to Destruction, and simply turn you into a sloth or a pint of milk.

Jesus, I’m talking some crap…..

ROFL :D :D

> Probably the greatest actor ever to have lived……

Probably the best actor in Knight Rider. Other than KITT. And KARR. And that Goliath truck thing.

Mal

*cough*

Ah for fucks sake!!!!

I didnt do this!! I just saw it and had to share it :D

yeah, just happened across it, did you?!

What are you implying Tony, that I keep a a bag of “THE HOFF” photos on me at ALL times????
I dont do that…. anymore!!! ;)

Still on for friday folks? did anyone manage to get in and book the place or shall we just meet up there anyway?

Dave

i’m game… didn’t book it though

i’ll have a look in Toners after work.. but i don’t finish till around 10 or 10.30..

maybe see some of you later then:D

Anyone home early tonight who wants to give us a review of the antics the usual suspects got up to?

I have a real strong feeling that either nothing at all happened or someone made an annoucement that rocked Irish game dev.

Have fun one and all.

Incredible night !!!!!

We were… let me remember… oh at least… oh yes we were five !!!
Nevertheless, it was a very enjoyable shindig :)

:D was a good one alright.

thanks to Bomberman spotting me as i headed downstairs to a party in the basement !

the shindig was a chat and a pint by the door.. but easy for the smokers to be kept in the loop.

a memorable evening i reckon. i really enjoyed meeting Eoinhappydude at last. Skyclads animated conversations kept our brains ticking. Ian Hannigan and i caught up on the goss and Bomberman is an inspiration to us all :D

I think we got thrown out of there around 2 .. ish

Animated conversations? What did I end up saying? :)

just watching you and eoin discussing frame refresh speeds was animated enough :D

i know i was grateful for the explanations once you’d sorted it out amongst yourselves :D

I sent a message to Tony on the night but he seemed to have been missing in action…sorry I missed it but was working my way around the bars in Saarbrucken (Germany) at the time..

glad to hear it was a good night

I’ll get you next time GameDevelopers, next time. Didn’t get back to Dublin til 1 am so I couldn’t make it either.
