-
i really got to go to one of theses Shindig, but i have way too much course work to do for 2 weeks time, to even consider going to this one :(
-
Oh, and really the timing….April 28….E3 = May 10th…. :(
-
Its fine if your organised…get in on the weekends and you’ll be fine ;)
-
Oh, I’m not thinking of me, I’m thinking of others. Thats not my excuse for not coming.
-
Hrm, I’ll check if anyone in the office is going so I might be able to get a lift down…I really really have to make it to one of these… :?
-
I don’t see any reason for me not to make it down. Will send the email once I’m certain.
I might be able to get a life[/quote:7075e82b23]
It’ll make more than one social event for that to happen, Gizmo! :PDidn’t know you moved to Donegal.
-
Isn’t Donegal Pete going?

Oh, and really the timing….April 28….E3 = May 10th…. :([/quote:9ae4d8dd4e]
I hear ya on that one. I thought id be able to make it but unlikely. E3 is only 2 weeks away and alot of crap needs to get down for it. Have a good one.

Why is it when I have to get a flight the next day I always end up working until the wee hours. Anywho, I’ll see you lot tomorrow. Ta Ta!
-
Serves you right for being a slacker. Do you work and leave on time you schmuck!
-
I’ll be thanking them again tomorrow but a bit thank you to the Digital Hub for providing the venue and security for our birthday event, to Gamestop for sponsoring our awards and to Upstart Games for sponsoring the refreshments.
All coming together nicely so far..
More on confirmed speakers etc. http://www.gamedevelopers.ie/news/viewnews.php?article=265

Yeah, but if you can’t slag off the most respectable person in any given situation, you’re falling short, and she didn’t leave me anything else in that particular post…I did use a conversion engine I found online, I didn’t look it up in a chart – if that ameliorates the crime at all. Probably not.
At least I have a cool sig – clumps of souls forever!
-
I think Coleraine is getting to you…
-
um… the name of the pub you’ll be ending up in ?
do you know what it’s called :D
am thinking you’ll be gone from the hub by 10.30 yes?
-
Yes, will definately be gone by then. Probably to McGruders. Do you have my mobile #, can give me a bell if you cant find us?
Dave
-
thanks Dave… no i don’t .. will you pm me with it :D ta …
and see you later
-
Sooooooo, how’d it go? :D
-
well in my unbiased opinion (!) pretty well.
I will write up a proper report and post images later. On the night there was a slightly smaller crowd than last year (40ish), probably given the bank holiday but I think our three speakers (Will, Sarah and Tony) gave some very useful insights into their companies and the casual and mobile games industry.
This was followed by the awards and the winners were
1) newbie – nifty
2) Stamina – Skyclad
3) Salmon of knowledge – Mal
4) Humour – kyotokid
5) group of the year – Demonwarethe event continued after in McGruders where gossip, slagging and the usual ensued…

My God, Ivan got an award…you must have all been fighting off his hugging arms by the end of the night.
-
-
Its the bits you didn’t see I worry about ;)
-
ah the famous hugging, we’ve heard about that.. :P
-
-
was a great night… nice to see a load of new faces, and some old ones agin. One of the best Shindigs ever, I thought (…although some of the best bits occurred in Skyclad’s living room after the Shindig was technically over – but that’s another story!)
-
We don’t want to know what you and Dave in your pricate time Tony.
Rememer, this is a public forum that children can read! -
It was actually Ian’s dancing that put me (and everyone else) to shame.
It ranks up there with his Eddie Rocket’s rendition of “Lady in Red” from last year…
-
8) it was a cool shindig ! i really enjoyed the quick drink and chat with you all
:D
-
Aye. Great talks (with many thanks to the speakers), and nice to see a lot of new faces make it along for a few pints too.
Dave
-
It was a great night. Freezing it may be, but the beer garden is a good place to spend the evening! It was good to meet the new folks who made it along.
-
Sorry missed that one. Seems like it was a good night. Damn you E3, damn you to hell! :x
-
Lol, just looking at all the post dates on the last page!
It took us 5 days to summon the courage to post!
I know I was destroyed (!) after 2 pints, a bag of chips and a quarter pounder, but the rest of ye?! (jk)Lovely to meet you all,
Very interesting chats, on subjects ranging from the correct pronunciation of “Yahoo” to the tribal political situation on the disputed island of Jersey – with a smattering of games… stuff… thrown in there too.I look forward to next year’s event (or anything that happens in the meantime).
-
3) Salmon of knowledge – Mal
I feel like Fionn mac Cumhail, I now have a great excuse now for sucking my thumb when trying to solve a game design problem :)

I suppose it is a good thing I decided to go home!
Managed to get the train at 7.30AM instead after 4 hours sleep! Anyway, it was great to meet everyone and a great night out after!
-
-
It was really good, pity I didn’t get to talk to as many people as I would have liked. Also, by leaving early at 12.30am I managed not to make too big of a fool of myself. Woo!
-
I always knew there was somethin fishy about Mal.
Thought it was the smell.
Or the fingers maybe…
Congrats matey!
-
yeah, was sorry didn’t get a better chance to chat with Ivan, Michael from BitRabbit and some of the Upstart crew – but it was great to meet Damien Murphy (can’t remember his forum handle), Destructor!!! and Sofox
Quite a few people travelled to make this one, so fair play to them. And thanks again Jamie for the Xbox Gaming Centre passes! They’ll be put to good use

-
