You didn't know i was filming, i like throwing surprises in. Including the anti-lynx effect, which was epic indeed. I knew i should have filmed some of the "balderdicks" that was some serious stuff there. And @Cube, what did you do with all that spare time to kill?

Houses of Parliament Mafia - Death of the Prime Minister

I already mentioned that i targetted yourself Peeps last night. As for anything else to go on, i not nothing else unfortunetly. -
N-Europe 2012 The official write-up of Jimbob Friday Arrived early afternoon, around 12pm (ish). Proceeded to the hotel, which so happened to be 5 minutes from the station. Very nice indeed that’s what I say to that. Decided before I even got to London that I was going to the Olympic Park to see it before the games begin, which was nice indeed. It’s pretty big from what you are allowed to see, and from how close I got, it does look near-complete. Later, I did a good deed by helping a lost Chinese tourist find the British Museum (no I did not rob, molest or do anything to the chap). Basically, I guided him to the museum as I was heading there myself. Made some video, took some snaps inside. But as I went last year, there wasn’t much to see that was different. Headed out for dinner in the evening, after contacting Charlie about possibly meeting up for drinks later. It turned out it was better to not meet, as by the time we got to Euston (half way between both of us), it wouldn’t have been much time for drinks. So decided to wait until the morning. Later that evening, leading into Saturday. Decided to do the Oral B challenge, video is below. Saturday The big day indeed. Checked out of the hotel, and headed to where Rez booked us in for the night. Certainly different that’s for sure, right on the other end of the Bakerloo line. The staff confused me for Rez (how is that humanly possible I have no idea). But I managed to get my bag into storage and headed back to Paddington to meet with Rez, Danny and Goafer. Rez was running late, and after Goafer had stopped chasing giant Penis’s trying to photograph them, Rez advised we head to Marble Arch and meet him there. We arrived before him, and whilst I grabbed some lunch (offering to get some for Danny and Goafer as well), Rez turned up. With the 4 of us in tow we headed to the meeting point. Where we were met with Cube (sporting a N7 hoodie) and shortly after by Yvonne, Twozzok, Rummy, Arbitor and Peeps. A few others appeared out of the shadows (seriously, weather reports said rain in London. We were getting glorious sun with some breeze). Including Zell, Charlie and Bard. Rez’s Lynx effect proved to no evail (seriously wtf, we were sure it was going to work). Played 2 traditional games (being Consequences and Paper Telephone). And also played one of Yvonnes new games. Basically, take 4 pieces of paper and write a game onto 3 of them. The 4th was to leave blank. Put all 4 pieces into the middle and mix-up. We then picked 4 each at random and we had to either play the game on ourselves, on someone else or as a group. Of course, many games included doing something to Rez. Which included him hassling some strangers whilst we took pictures, him pretending to be asleep and setting the “penis” free. To the surprise of a council worker indeed. Rez’s Penis game was ”different” to say the least, he even allowed the women who rejected his “Lynx effect” to judge our drawings. An amateur film crew approached us., the YouTube guys had appeared. Wielding an expensive camera, microphone, interviewer, director and camera-man, they meant business. Then they interviewed Rez (I have no idea why still). They showed interest in our group, this was certainly not the last we were going to see of them We even tried a “Live Mafia” or two, the first was brilliant. The second, not so good. Mafia killed in 2 phases because someone couldn’t read his role (Rez!!!), confusing the word “Maf” with “Town” dear oh dear. Ended up with the Youtube crew returning, this time with females. Where they interviewed Rez again, which certainly surprised us all. Interviewing Rez, whats up with that. More and more time of fun passed, in that time we discovered one thing about the sun. It was hot, and we were burning. Luckly Yvonne had some sun-screen, which stopped the burning and began the tanning. The Youtube crew returned again for the last time, with some very young females. Too young really, but they were a good laugh to talk to. Rez certainly was light with beer, that and no food made him think we were elastic and rubber-based persons. He needed help, and it was KFC that provided that help later. Even got Dannyboy into the love of the chicken and the recipe. Arbitor and Yvonne left, was nice meeting them guys indeed. It was after this point (and purchase of needed after-sun) that we go to either a bikini party or to the Namco arcade to meet Dyson. Us being men, we chose to go to the Namco arcade. Hey, who needs bikini’s ey. Venturing onto the Underground, we found the arcade and met with Daft just inside. We also found Dyson working nicely behind the counter, where some credits were slipped into the hands of our party. These were used to play a variety of games, including Air Hockey, Connect 4, Pac-man and Bumper Karts. Some epic moments, all are included in the videos. Managed to get to speak to Dyson, as he popped out on break. He loves that job, he really does. By this time, many of us had dispersed. Bard, Charlie and Zell went on their adventures. Rummy and Marcamillian left us at Waterloo station, it was to be the last time this weekend. The remainder being myself, Rez, Danny, Goafer, Cube and Peeps headed to the hostel. Where the games began again. It wasn’t too bad the hostel, we had a sink and shower in the room. The toilets were at the other end of the building on each floor, which was different. No wonder the place only got 2 out of 5 stars, they wouldn’t even let me have my bag back without proof they said. They didn’t even give me the proof when I dropped the bag off originally. Played some Balderdicks (dash), learned the new meaning of “Dragee” and had some Nazi-themed pictures. Including Hitler’s “Glass of Juice” mis-interpretation. Went to sleep around 2:30, Zell called at 3am. That was the last we would hear from Zell until Sunday evening. Sunday Sunday, as it were. Left the hostel pretty early, it was too cramped for breakfast. Had a subway for breakfast, because McDonalds don’t serve breakfast past 10:30am for some reason. This day also included the Comic book shop visit (some good memorabilia inside indeed) and delicious frozen yoghurt in Trafalgar (I had Mint and Banoffee). It was soon after we said farewell to Cube, who’s train wasn’t leaving til 6pm that day. His original ticket was 6pm Saturday, he ordered by mistake it seemed. He left with time to kill, probably went to see the new Men in Black. Who knows. Got back to Paddington, said farewell to Danny, Goafer and Rez. Met with a former work mate for coffee before heading home myself. Overall, it was an epic meet this year. The best I’ve been to ever, thanks to everyone who attended and made it possible. Seriously, you guys made it all possible and it was worth it to be fair. A massive thank-you to all, which includes Rez, Goafer, Dannyboy, Zell, Rummy, Marcamillian, Bard, Arbitor, Yvonne, Twozzok, Peeps, Dyson, Cube and Daft All the Photos All the Videos Note: If part 11 does not work, it's Youtube being a tit. I'm making a new version of this video, with no audio for the bumpercars part.

Xpert 11 Season 23: The highlight of the Summer
Jimbob replied to Haden's topic in General Chit Chat
Umm, yeah. I'm kind of behind with the write-ups, by 3 matches. For now though......... For those not subbed to my facebook, or Youtube. Here is the interview between me and Charlie over the weekend. It's classic, and makes up for the lack of reports. -
All the videos are hidden for now, i've put the Xpert interview up between me and Charlie in the Xpert thread. Return tomorrow and i guarantee all the footage will be available. There was me thinking it would all be done by now, i'm not waiting until 2-3am for the last to upload.

The streak continues. 10 games played, 7 wins and 3 draws. 0 losses. Beat Emo 5-0 today. -
No 8: Dragee (All my videos are uploading from home as i write this, i'm in work at the moment. Hopefully all 2 hours, yes thats 2 hours of footage should be available when i get home. 1st part is already up)
-
I made 1 or two indeed, they are uploading now.

Gaming-wise of 2012, it's been ok. Been playing Witcher 2, which is a great game by the way. Mass Effect 3 (best of the series), SSX and MGS HD. Max Payne 3 has a fantastic multiplayer, single player isn't too bad.
-
In the process of sorting my videos, on part 5 of 13. Yes, thats 13 parts. Writing up the weekend as well, i think it would be easier to just include the link to my Youtube page. Or put all 13 videos linked in here, not sure.

I wonder if he's still there
-
Basically, it's the name you want to be known by as you said. For example, if your first name is Alexandra, but people call you Alex and you prefer being called that, you would put in the known name box "Alex"
-
I mentioned about his at the meet, I am considering running my first mafia game, which would be the "Happy Days mafia". There is some interest already, and as soon as one of the current games concludes I will prepare this one.

What would Vegas make of Rez and penis-themed drawings
-
Thankfully you are ok, glad to have met you yesterday. It was a pleasure indeed. Whoever that person who let you stay at theirs is a very nice person indeed, at least you had somewhere to stay and were not on the streets.

Xpert 11 Season 23: The highlight of the Summer
Jimbob replied to Haden's topic in General Chit Chat
Once i find the footage (it's on one of 3 cards), it'll be put online. History in the making. -
I played the demo a few months ago (mainly to get the extra stuff for Mass Effect 3). The game itself, even though it were a demo certainly looked like something from the 360's early days. Didn't play too well either, and i wanted the demo to end. Not my cup of tea to be fair.
-
Didn't work, he couldn't be asked to move from his comfy corner. Hopefully he's ok, as it was said the last we heard from him was around 3am when Rez gave him directions to the hostel we were staying in.

Xpert 11 Season 23: The highlight of the Summer
Jimbob replied to Haden's topic in General Chit Chat
1-0 Seahawks And Recall are team of the month (again). 2nd time in a year, well done indeed!! From the Meet, i've secured an exclusive interview with the Bayern Neverluson. Once i find the footage on the camera, i shall present it in all it's unedited glory. -
Going from lush London weather back to chilly Wales, well that's what I've heard so far. Lucky to get on the train, idiotic people on the train occupying my reserved seat and not hurting. All seats seem to be reserved, so attempting to find another saying London to Newport. Overall, weather-wise this weekend was brilliant. @Rummy summed it up, we needed last year's crowd and this year's weather to make the meat more epic. Full write-up and videos coming over the next few days.

Weather is superb, have turned into crisp n duck.
