Lol, could make it like a lemmings game.

If there is gonna be another meet up here for a game like that, I don't think Luis would be hosting it ;) If there is gonna be another one, I'd totally be there.

Dean, you're a wonderful football player. Apologies for the bruises that I gave you in the over-zealous tackles :P

Thanks to all who turned up, i'll make more days next time, i'll book a hotel!

I look forward to seeing you then :)

Well, Luis goes back home on Wednesday, so give it a few more days before we start harassing him :P

All we need now is some picnic stuff and we're well away!

Great to see you too, as always :)

Liar! You loved the beer more than us and you missed it!

I even bought some of the guys a pitcher of Pimms. Even Keith had some, which is apparently the only alcoholic drink he will consume.

Select which mod you wish to deploy to herd the nerds.

In fact, Herd the Nerd - London would be a great title.

Wish I stayed for the footy, but I had to leave D:

Next time!

Haha, don't worry, you looked after me at the last meet! Think we should definately explore the idea of a northern meet too!

Lot's of stuff.

It was great to meet everyone, the entire couple days has been a great experience, i've gotten to meet some really friendly and genuine people and that's something I don't find often.

Liljim sorry I didn't really speak to you! I knew who you were as James but didn't know your account name until I was leaving!

I regret not speaking to either of them (other than Afro-wolf, who helped me out with the crappy payment machines for the dodgems (and I didn't twig who he was until after that)).

It's one thing for young users to get their parents to accompany them to conventions, where there's tons of different stuff to check out, and have them stop by the NG booth at those events, but it's quite another to convince them to spend a whole day based around an NG-specific event. That's parenting as it should be!

aww thanks :3. And next time i'd be allowed to go with out my dad because now he knows what will pretty much happen now at the NG meet up. And also, I was not sure who you were, but were you the guy who was kind of small, had a Britain newgrounds black t-shirt and had a beard? (i think).

Don't worry about regretting not talking to people, I have that same problem too ;)

Oh so you only seemed so chatty with me because you vaguely remembered my name from this thread? :P

That's not because I don't necessarily KNOW their usernames, either - more often than not it's just because they're pronounced differently to how I think they might be pronounced when I read them on NG.

90% of everyone says mine wrong. I guess that's the downside to keeping an Internet pseudonym you made when you were 14.

I mean, "I do creating", you'd think it's a no-brainer but the amount of "I doc reating" i get is annoyingly high.

Also, here's a picture of British Comedian Dave Gorman. liljim is physically a 1/8th scale replica of this guy, lovingly handcrafted and painted by quality professionals, this limited edition web programmer can be yours for just 12 monthly payments of $12.99!

Urgh.

I feel kinda crap how i barely got anyone's names while i was there. I've forgotten most of them unfortunately, but i do kinda remember from what people did or how they looked.

There was really good at Guitar Hero guy (I WANTED KNIGHTS OF FUCKING CYDONIA. I DEMAND A REMATCH).
Really good at air hockey guy (Who nearly smacked me in the nads during a heated session against someone else).
Tiny short black guy with an NG sticker on the arm of his shirt.
Minature Dave Gorman guy.
Lifeguard/Gym Teacher guy.
Headband/Union jack shirt guy.
Barefoot girl.

That's all i can remember off the top of my head.

I have video oof Dave and Keith doing karaoke. LOL.

hey london meetup and shit lolololololololol

gonna post more when i get back home etc lololol. or well, probablt not cause im lazy, but yeah...

still, i've met so many awesome people , and that includes every single one who attended to the meetup. how crazy is that? there were like about 40 people, and every single person i spoke to was just awzum lulz.

but i guess that's what you get on these kinds of meetups when everyone has the same interest and all that jazz!

so, big fat ups to everyone who attended, and extra big cred to luis, who's currently sleeping hard next to me here - who made all this shit happen! you gotta love dat krazy meksikan lololooloooooooololol o o o ollo lo lo lo lo lo lo l lo lololo lo lolo

Eh; Luis and Bez have almost all the events covered between them. I suppose it depends on when either of them get around to uploading anything.

I only have one decent one (I was too busy enjoying myself to remember my camera). Rucklo was tired in NAMCO (after spending all night up during the karaoke, AFTER spending hours travelling here) and decided to use the NG flag as a blanket. It was too good to resist taking a picture. :P

hehehe :3... athough i never understood why the newground flag diddnt have a pole for it...

also when we were told to get moving i thought it was *lets all go over to the green in one huge block... pick up the icecream van... we already went over this!!!... ah..* but no... oh well...

and that guy on guitar hero three has played it that game faaaaar to long... i didnt think i saw him do a duff note once!

had fun... now back to the real word... with the working and the housework n stuff... *sigh*

if only every day was a newgrounds gold day :P

Ps: darn you people battering me in the dodgems... my back is killing me!

Sounds like either Keith (KaynSlamdyke) or Harry (Kirk-Cocaine)

Really good at air hockey guy (Who nearly smacked me in the nads during a heated session against someone else).

Hmm... might have been me, but probably not.

Tiny short black guy with an NG sticker on the arm of his shirt.

Afro-Wolf

Minature Dave Gorman guy.

liljim

Lifeguard/Gym Teacher guy.

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Mastermind shirt, with tank patch, right?

Headband/Union jack shirt guy.

And this was one of the names that I didn't remember

Barefoot girl.

Cally.

Also, I've never seen anyone party as hard as Rucklo. Man, you're insane :) <3 And huge.

Sorry I mean expect. Sorry guys. I have to wait another year to go and meet Seth Green and fight Brian in arm wrestling contest. You will lose buddy boy.

To those that missed the Newgrounds Skeleton Gimp, you may get a chance to see him in an up-coming flash cartoon, maybe a game if peeps get together.

Failing that he'll appear on photos on the Hub Page sometime.

Apologies to those who missed out!

p.s it's my 7th NG Birthday!

Apparently, the budget didn't cover it. According to Luis, those flags are pretty damn expensive to make.

Ps: darn you people battering me in the dodgems... my back is killing me!

Haha, I'm sure everyone has bruises from that. It was a hell of a lot of fun though (worth it in my opinion).

hmm.. were both of them me? because I remember playing a guy on Guitar Hero who wanted knights of cydonia. And that was at the Namco. And I was also the really good air hockey guy and SORRYSZZ I DIDN"T MEEAN TOO!!! :3

But yeah, I forget who it wass, sorry, but one guy I played, I just put my air hockey holder, or what ever it was, and just set it infront of my goal. And then the other guy kept trying to get it in but ultimately just got it in his own goal :3 I DIDN"t DO ANYTHING. <3

Really fun time guys.

Guys, it is the expert opinion of me that the GH machine there was the biggest pile of shit ever.

The strum bar double-strummed, the guitar weighed a brick, the frets stuck, and most importantly it was really badly calibrated.

I didn't talk to Afro-Wolf at all during the meet. Never even noticed his Dad was there lol, but i wish mine would've been that cool when i was younger.

Those dodgems were brilliant, although when your sharing one with someone else your knees are right up next to the steering wheel. One nasty shunt from a side and your knees slam into it. Totally worth it mind, T-boning Luis was a highlight.

Also, i wasted a lot of cash on that stupid ball dropping thing and got like, 100 tickets for my effort. I bought some chewy sugary hot dogs. Then Wonchop came down with a bag full of drumsticks, the lucky git.

when I tried double strumming on the expert level which I always do, it can't fucking sync it into the came, so i have to do extremely fast strumming with my thumb, Ow. The frets weren't that bad, I was ok with it.

I never bothered with it, just watched the rest of you play for a bit.

Never been a huge fan of Rythm games, especially not Rythm games with awful music like Guitar Hero...

Donkey Konga was fun though.. Hmm, I have the urge to play that now..
