*spit take* You mean you don't recognise local-to-me darts legend Phil 'The Power' Taylor?!

I can only remember one Taylor at a time obviously, because you've stumped me again with that one Zero.

I think we can get from this Andy doesn't no sports.

I thought my lack of sports love was pretty common knowledge tbh.

It's Dennis Taylor, the snooker player with the unusual glasses (or, well, he had them at the time of his fame).

You make a game out of this, name that sort of celeb

Name that famous Taylor? (No cheating and looking at the Link)

He's the drummer for the Foo Fighters, right?

Bingo! You know his name though?

To answer the actual question - although it would be amazing to meet you guys, I don't think I can justify it, what with a wedding to be saving for, and that.

That's fine, we didn't think anyone else would want to come but thought we better ask.

I'll be meeting gJone tomorrow at this retro meet up, which I've got a few good bits for the swaps which I do find weird that's it been held in a shop which I would want people to trade with me, buy games off me, not people swapping amongst there self's.

Also there's a tournaments of likes of Street Fighter II.

Triple Combo

I've booked all four days of EGX again this year, anyone else planning on going as this year Drunka isn't going that I either got to pay a few £ for the hotel (likely a travel lodge) or go quite far out as I fund one that's only £80 for all 4 nights but is 15 miles away.

So if anyone is planning on going and wants to save there self some money let me know even if just a night and you give me like £20 or something.

This might be short notice & just for Scottish folk of the forum but this sounds like it'd be quality.

That does sound quality - I quite like a wee session at Drygate. I've got other plans that night though

If not that we should definitely try to organise a meet up at a future Glesgames.

Didn't anyone else get tickets or still planning to go EGX this year which is only about 60 days or less away.

I'm also thinking about going to the retro event in Bournemouth which is in a few weeks time.

Working that night and there's no holidays for the rest of August, so I'll not be able to make that sadly.

Sounds ace though - next time round I'd be game.

Definitely up for that. I looked into it a bit more, and it looks like they run another Glesgames every few months. This looks like the fourth one in 2016 - maybe there'll be another before Christmas. Let's keep an eye out for when the next one's happening.

Failing that: mob X-Scape and play OutRun 2 for a whole weekend.

Aye I followed them on twitter a few months back but just never got the chance to go to one before so I'll be sure to let ye's know when I see the next event date.

So aye the next Glesgames is due to happen Saturday March 4th, obviously be easier for Scottish forum members to get to but everyone is welcome to come if they want to.

Here's the details: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/glesgames-xi-tickets-30486173967

Quality - let's get that sorted. If you can get across Glasgow for this and if Jay can get across from Edinburgh, I'll get down from Aberdeen. 👍
