*wakes up*
Oh hai. I got back from London about fourteen hours ago. I went to bed immediately owing to some fucked up sleep patterns.
Drinks consumed over London
* Much cola
* 2 x Piss Tasting Lager
Stuff I found out during the NG Meet:
* No one knows who I am or that I'm a forum mod, according to the Stickam. This suits me just fine.
* Poozy is a lovable psychotic
* I went to Bloodstock this year. I went to the Silent Descent gig during it. I stood front and center and filmed them (badly) playing Beyond Grey. The mosh pit behind me was a whole two people, and one of them was my good buddy Shalashaska-1. And we totally missed each other somehow.
* The admins are worryingly human. No halos or anything.
* Mind you, whenever Swain opens his mouth it does sound like an angelic choir. Or occassionally like Conscience or Blockhead
* Sqeezy should be the lead singer of a Death Metal band from his displays at Rock Band, or a freestyle rap artist from his kareoke sessions
* Ear plugs are a worthy investment for future meets.
* It IS possible for two forum moderators to herd a group of sixty five people from the London Eye four hundred meters down the South Bank to a bar full of arcade machines. One of them needs to wear a damn sweet Australian Duster to do it however
* Dodgems is officially the Newgrounds sport. Dodgems with Super Soakers was considered, but once I pointed out that the ceiling is electrified, it was shot down.
* Again with dodgems - everyone is merciless on them. There is no fair play, there is no sense of honour... there is just violence
* Finally with Dodgems... the wheel controls the direction of the wheel at the bottom of the dodgem, not the direction you're trying to turn in. It's a silly thing, but understanding this concept allows you to drive backwards like I was doing, and how to PIT someone into a pillar... as well as how to get out of a twelve car Reg pileup.
* No one knows thier way around London except for me. And you all walk DAMN slow.
* Private Hire taxis charge whatever the fuck they like. Hackney cabs always seem to charge you £5 no matter how far you've travelled
* Newgrounds Staff members spawn randomly at McDonalds Walk-Thrus. Yes. We have Walk-Thrus apparently (they're like Drive Thrus, but when you lack a Segway...)
* I don't need to code in AS3, according to the staff coders. Huzzah
* I need to do more flash stuff
* I need to go to more meets
* I rock at Big Game Hunting. Seriously. Give me a virtual shotgun with no feedback and some badly modelled Moose or Wildebeast and they're DEAD.
* I am the Newgrounds DDR UK Champion
* Dance Music is a crucifiable offense
* BananaBreadMuffin, Me, and Kirk-Cocaine are the ultimate three piece Mod Band.
* Public Transport is silly. Next year I'll be coming down on my bike
* People don't quite grasp the concept of me finding alcohol a vile, horrid tasting substance
* Coca-Cola costs more than Beer. What the fuck?
* It IS possible to drag an entire Rock Band set (with XBox) and two extra bags through the London Underground. However, I will not be doing it again, owing to the fact I slipped over twice and leapt thirteen steps down Tower Hill station after tripping over them. Landed on my feet still carrying the box and had a crowd of thirty London Commuters confused at the acrobatic feat. Metal
* HappyHarry is an awesome hotel room mate.
* The Philadelphia Eagles suck.
* Tom Fulp's bringing sexy back. Us motherfuckers don't know how to act.
* The UK Evil Dog is like a car crash happening in bullet time.
* NegativeONE gets lost on his way to the toilet. So much so he has to take the tube back to the station where we're waiting for him.
* People are constantly amused by the moderator controls.
I'll get some pictures uploaded soon. Theres not many from me this year, although there's a great one of HappyHarry in front of the world's most obvious gaybar
