Friday- Meeple was the first to arrive. Was playing TotA while waiting, so we played through some two player for a while. Trashed the Behemoth in the swamp, then decided to kill time watching The Critic, which is awesome. Shale and Super arrive after a bit. Amazingly, no crazy travel stories! Ice is broken by showing off some PS3 demos of Eternal Sonata and Valkyria Chronicles, the latter which impresses. Also showed Super some Armored Core 4. Super suggested XS3 after this, even without a copy. Meeple counterthreats Vincent May Cry. Jim (Notmiki) then arrived, and we settled on Apples to Apples until dinner. Post dinner was the Naruto fighting game, where I proved that my Fangirl powers are still strong. After that was Soul Cal 3, where it was mostly highly amusing Random creation play. That lasted a long while, and afterwards Jim, Shale and I ended up shooting the shit until about 4-4:30AM.
Saturday- Meeple proved to be a fuddy-duddy and not show up in the morning, but after Shale-fast (Which was excellent) we decided on Apples to Apples again until Fnorder and Snowfire arrived. During this time we created a whole new way of playing the game that rocks face. Unfortunately, it only works with about 4-5 people. Snow was on time, but we got a text from Fnorder that was amusing:
"Everything is late. I am also soaked. Kill Super- Fnorder"
Yep. It was inevitable. S'what you get for quartering the Super. He eventually arrived as well though. Apples to Apples continued on for a while. The dog then proceeded to barf on the couch, missing Super's head by inches. We ended up playing Guilty Gear until it was time to leave for bowling. About two minutes on the road, just as they're turning onto the same road I had my accident on, Super's Jeep gets transmission trouble. Was kinda funny, because I was watching them in the rear-view and it literally was a there, look away a sec and then disappeared. It manages to limp to GameStop. Dinner was pizza, then BOWLING! Meeple won, Shale got the high score, I blow a really good start. Details and scores in another post. Meeple's friend was working there, so we ended up bowling for a dollar each. Sweet.
We then move to Meeple's house. Some craziness trying to get there, as I pulled out of my spot the wrong way and had to circle around the lot so I can follow Meeple, we get back and he's not there. Wouldn't have been so bad if the weather didn't suck. We had to make three attempts trying to find the street since it was so dark and foggy, but we made it! Super's travel victim support group increases membership. Meeple's was great though. Music quiz was good as always, and Super won the prize of a squishy Phoenix Wright gavel. Smash was had, and I proceed to crush all comers in pool and air hockey to make up for my bowling debacle. Snowfire and Fnorder headed home after this, and we retired back to my house for a showing of Fargo. We also started The Jerk, but we stopped short since we were tired.
Sunday- My Mom beat Shale to the punch and made breakfast. Super managed to almost flood the top floor of my house by putting the shower liner on the wrong side. After that we played a game of Betrayal at the House on the Hill in which Jim summoned a Banshee on us. We ended up kicking his ass, killing him and banishing the banshee. Close call though for most of us. Super ended up playing an axe-wielding little girl who was friends with another girl and a raving, frothing madman. Gratuitous item passing was had in the end as well. We wound down the day with watching the Giants game and generally following football, during which Meeple and Shale played their DS. While packing up, Super manages to almost kill himself by falling down the stairs. He tried to climb over the dog gate while carrying all his stuff. Very smooth~ He ended up being fine though, as far as he said.
All in all a good weekend. DL continues to be a very chill group to hang with. Thanks to everyone who came.
