Any Local Meetups?

alexsduo · 01/11/2012, 03:08 PM

So, I was browsing the forum, trying to see if there are any meetup posts, i.e. about playing some games together...

But, alas, I did not find said things.

Anyone into playing games together?

Alex as you already know, there are many of us in our area... Don't forget about the VGS in July too!

Sadly, I don't think there are many folks in these parts ;(

There's always the Midwest Gaming Classic in March. That is coming up pretty soon.

I hear turbo will be represented well this year.

hoobs88 · 01/11/2012, 05:09 PM

About a year or 2 ago, someone (forgot the member's name) from the Boston area had a meetup. I felt awkward about driving 90 minutes to play video games with strangers but kinda regretted it afterwards since he posted photos and it looked like a good time. I don't think there are too many other members from my area but I might have to go to the Midwest Gaming Classic one of these times.

YSM of TRS descent looking for GHF of QOQ desecent for PSG, UMD, HES, FMZ, PVP & maybe a lil ol' fashined NGPC!

Actually, I did once meet up with someone whose online name totally escapes me, but I met him on the old Yahoo Turbo Grafx club. I think his real name was Art Agreesior or something like that, though it's been years since I've heard or seen him.

You must be talking about bust3d. I think he was having a bbq and game thing. Man I wish I could've gone to that, but a 19 hour drive is kinda long.

Retro Gaming Convention meets up every September in Portland Oregon, but then again, its a little bit of everything.

Arjak · 01/12/2012, 01:58 PM

I live in Wyoming. It might as well be Mongolia as far as my chances of going to gaming conventions or meetups are concerned.

What part of Wyoming? Colorado isn't that far.

Arjak · 01/12/2012, 02:46 PM

I live in Laramie. True, Colorado isn't very far, but I don't know of anything to do there, except visit the used game store in Ft. Collins. If you're willing to suggest something, I'd be very happy to listen.

Sadler · 01/12/2012, 02:53 PM

I wouldn't mind having a CO gathering. I know there are a few of us that are members, and I never get a chance to properly geek out about TG/PCE. Even store managers in "retro" stores stare at me like I'm crazy when I mention anything TG related. I'd love to have some Bomberman tournaments, or play through some DE, or whatever.

Arjak · 01/12/2012, 03:07 PM

Cool; if anything like that is set up, let me know. I'd definitely try to make it.

Cleveland here, Cept for the ccag their ain't much goings on here.

geise · 01/12/2012, 08:04 PM

Bernie are you in VA like Lilgrafx? I believe Ninja Spirit is also from Virginia. I'm here in Wilmington, NC. Not to far from Virginia.

Lilgrafx · 01/12/2012, 08:07 PM

Wow that's pretty awesome didn't realize so many peple were in the mid-atlantic I live right on the border of Virginia so NC quite close

roflmao · 01/12/2012, 09:04 PM

I'm in Fayetteville, NC. I'd be up for a meetup.

alexsduo · 01/12/2012, 10:41 PM

Great responses!

I am from the CHI, so I know about the VGS, and the MGC, and I will most likely be there..

I was wondering about informal casual encounters, or just a few dudes hanging out... Nothing weird, you know just gaming... maybe a 5-some....

(I seem to remember proposing a turbo grafx dating something or other, but it didn't go very far)

Maybe we can make a stickie (sorry), for regional monthly hang outs or something?

roflmao · 01/12/2012, 10:44 PM

lol

TheMilford · 01/12/2012, 11:43 PM

NYC/Brooklyn.

Be forewarned... I'm terrible at video games but I love them and don't mind watching if my ineptitude becomes a drag.

Duo_R · 01/13/2012, 01:54 AM

Kinda far i am near Sacramento

If Wyoming is Mongolia, I live in Mars because I'm from Spain. No conventions, no forums dedicated (obviously) and no one with a TG...
Beat that!

Shrapnoid · 02/03/2012, 12:28 PM

Forsyth County, NC.

Anyone in the triad, Stokes, Davidson, Rowan or Davie Counties?

BT is near Durham, right? Think he would be interested?

PunkCryborg · 02/03/2012, 12:34 PM

Wish there was some more Floridians on here. I host game days with some of my local friends all the time. We have a blast and usually have my cab, pvm monitor and TV all going at once

I'm game as well, I'm down in Colorado Springs so I'm only like an hour from you Sadler. Gotta do a meetup sometime and maybe get the Joe the Red to show up as well.

BTW-Denver looks like hell today. We've got snow, but it looks like a full out blizzard in Denver.

Isn't Bucci living somewhere in NY right now? If so, maybe you can play games with him.

Sweet man, that'd be awesome!

Maybe when the weather gets a little nicer we can do a BBQ or something. I'd be happy to host.

As far as the blizzard goes, yeah it's pretty nasty where I'm at. Not sure how it is farther north, but Highlands Ranch is getting slammed right now and supposedly it's going to keep up for another 12 hours!

There's seriously some guy riding around my cul de sac right now on a snow mobile.

Guess that means I've got no choice but to get my turbo on

That's me out there. I'm waiting for you to get lost in your gaming experience so, I can sneak in and snag your collection.

makes me so sad. I LOVE snow. Yet I'm stuck here in Tennessee where its a balmy 60 degrees... Maybe I need to just bite the bullet and move back to Denver...

Also, if you guys plan something in June I'll be out there visiting (cant remember the exact date) and I'd be game for a meetup

Anybody else near Wichita, ks? Would love to meet up and play some turbo's. I only meet one other person here whose into pc-engine but haven't ask him to meet up. I think it would be gay just asking a stranger if his wants to basically go on a turbo grafx date, heheh:)

Hey Retrocool, make sure you save this date: Saturday July 14th. There will be an EPIC turbo meetup at the Video Game Summit in Lombard. If there are anymore before then, I'll let you know.

TheClash603 · 02/04/2012, 11:56 AM

I think he is too scared to ask you to go on said turbo grafx date. You should make the first move.

Animazement in Raleigh is PCEFX friendly. This year, the gameroom will have even MORE Turbo goodness.

Triad = Winston-Greensboro-High Point.
Triangle = Raleigh-Cary-(Mur)duham.

Only an hour and a half away for each other.
