lol, I have no idea. I was on one time, it said you logged on, then before I could invite you it said you'd logged off. Are you about tonight? I'm free from 7pm all night


PS: Do you have the Arcade Edition? Also, I'm going to try and use the PC version first (I believe you can cross-platform with PC and Xbox, if not, I'll boot up the 360)

 

[milkshake]

I have Arcade edition yes.


Hopefully tonight we should be able to train then


I did a quick google search an i dont think you can play ssf4 xplatorm i.e. PC vs Xbox player.

How does the Ramsden Arms sound as a possible venue for the meet up? I've been in once before and found the reviews on the beer on the evening site (see link) to be a pretty accurate summary.


It was fairly quiet, seemed not to be plagued by hoards of hen / stag parties (except the one I was with ), had a couple of smaller side rooms and the staff & patrons were friendly. The beer was also very good.


If nobody has any objections / better suggestions I'll update the first post with this as the chosen venue in a week or so.


Address / contact details for the Ramsden Arms Hotel :

I was hoping we could all hit the town and get the genuine Blackpool 'experience'.

 

[milkshake]

whats the blackpool 'experiance' sounds awsome!

I had a quick look too, shame. I'll have to just play SSFIV, but I have the upgrade pack, so should be okay. Means I'll have to use my Xbox pad instead of the pad I'm going to take (which is a PS2 with USB adapter, I believe these will work on the PS3).


I'll boot the xbox up, and leave it on until you arrive

I should be online (xbox live) no later than 9pm hope thats ok.

I'm gonna go on a limb at guess that it's not legal in the United States (except for Reno, Nevada).

The blackpool experience: one large plate of beige matter washed down with 16 pints of stella artoise, 14 counts of public urination followed by a brisk punch up, marquess of queensbury style. Get off with two rotund ladies of a similar age to your aunt, followed by shouting at long hairs. End the evening by defecating yourself face down in a pool of someone else's vomit.

 

[Blue Protoman]

Sounds like some of our poorer cities. Detroit and Baltimore come to mind.

 

[craigix]

I can't wait.

I would enter the tourney but I absolutely suck at street fighter 4, in fact playing that online killed my love for fighting games completely! That's why I'm selling my sticks. Maybe I could bring them and try to flog them there

 

[EvilDragon]

Got a reply from the Replay Expo team - they are trying to organize us some area where we can present the Pandora and the iCP to new users


How many of you guys are coming? Should we create some Pandora T-Shirts and infiltrate the show?

Sounds awesome.

 

[craigix]

I can bring some of the keyrings too as they will be ready by then.

 

[Sugar_Kane]

I'm slightly concerned that someone would try to steal my precious Pandora, have to chain it to my wrist with some handcuffs. Of course it's far more likely that I would just get completely shit faced and drop it on the floor, smashing it into a thousand tiny bits.


It would be cool to know exactly who is there from here, if we're all wearing t-shirts then we'd be forced to talk to each other, or at least regard each other suspiciously from across the hall

 

[craigix]

What are these 'T-Shirts' you speak of? Won't you all be wearing shirts (without a front pocket, and tucked in) and some of you ties?

 

[Sugar_Kane]

a shirt and tie in blackpool? that would be like going to mars in a bikini
