    Thanks so much for the offer retro. Getting a ticket isn't my problem though. It's a matter of cash :smt009 My funds are starting to dry up now since I'm going to be in the UK longer than I thought. Impotaku has already offered to take me down there but I don't like to take advantage of people in that way. He's really kind for such an offer but I just wouldn't feel right with it. It's not all doom and gloom though. I still may be going to this years Tokyo Game Show :smt023

    Well, if Importaku is going down, then you're not taking advantage, merely joining him in his expedition :D

    GO!!!!!!!

    damn, you've been in Japan too long, such manners aren't a scouser attitude!

    hehe j/k ;)

    :smt043 hahahaha, I don't even sound that much like a scouser anymore too. Although it is creaping back in to my system. I gues being a scouser I should be saying " Aye, Fuckin' nice one, me Impotaku mate. You'r fuckin' tops you laa. Too fuckin' right I'll bum a lift of yeh." :smt043 Translation for those who have no idea what I'm on about "That's very kind of you Importaku. You're a true friend. I would definatly like to have a lift from you." :smt033

    Ooh err :butthead:

    I offered to pay for yakumo to come but like he says he is very low on funds so i dont want him totally using up his cash when he still has another driving test coming up. If i could drive i would have picked him up no problems.

    Fingers crossed mate you pass :smt023

    Just popping my head in here to say that I'm going yet again.

    Importaku, next week I should be able to first class open return tickets for nowt... :D

    Also, travel lodge are doing 2 for 1 nights in London.
    Maybe we can do this and take advantage of another day in London to go to Gamestars one.

    Yeah i just made one up like i did last year.

    I wouldnt worry about it,

    all that happens is you just show your pass to the person at the reception desk & you get given a holder for your badge then thats it your free to do what you want. :smt023

    Importaku, I would've got you in if you'd wanted. I'm going on the Wednesday, send me a private message if you wanna meet up.

    EGN isn't really worth it... well its meant to be better than ECTS, but its strictly trade only, and each ticket costs £25+VAT! The gamestar thing or whatever is the public front of that. It isn't near to ECTS, so you'd need a one day travelcard, and I'm not sure if zones 1+2 would be enough. Gamestars is £10, or £12 on the door. Not worth it IMHO.

    Yakumo, get your arse down to London with Importaku! You can send him some nintendo tat when you get back to Japan in exchange for your fare :p

    Hmm, I really want to go. I'll have to ask Importaku what he's doing when he's down in London. If I go then I'll bring the digital Video Camera to make a video for the guys here at ASSEMbler.

    The plan for me and importaku is this... ECTS on Wednesday and pending if I can get my free open return first class tickets Games Stars as well the next day.

    More than likely after ECTS we'd be heading towards Tottenham Court Road to CEX and Game Focus then goto some arcades round Troc before we eat some nice Japanese food in Japan Centre and then go home...

    We'll be headed to CEX after the show too, on Wednesday, so we might as well arrange to meet up at the show!


    ...although the retro shop isn't in, or off, Tottenham Court Road ;)
