My first NG meet up

Posted by StupidHumorKing - August 7th, 2010


Why am I making a front page post about my first trip to a NG meet up in London? Even if I'm not well known on here due to my lack of inspiration and motivation for creativity? Will you give a shit? I dunno, you feel like randomly reading something? Then read this lol.

Well, first I wanna thank Luis for organising the meet up, gives people like me the chance to increase the social skills a bit more haha. Nabbed two numbers off of people which is awesome :3 also gave me the chance to meet and chat with some veterans like Wonchop, Eddache, Eddsworld and others, Eddache's advice on how to be a bit motivated was cool. Although I need to get him back for slapping me in the dodgems (Eddache you ninja bastard lol).

It was also good to meet Zictor for the first time after 6 years of chatting on the net and doing one collaberated flash together lol.

Secondly, I wanna apologise to anyone there if I annoyed or bored the shit out of them while chatting to them, I had a feeling I did with my awkward silences lol. In case any of you there had forgotten, I looked like the picture under this whole text. Yes the hair's a mess (and I am a fugly bastard) because I didn't know it was gonna piss down so I didn't bring a coat nor umbrella. But fuck it, I love the rain, got soaked!

What pissed me off a little was some knobend kept calling me Harry in the dodgems... prick... that's the nth time someone's called me that (it's not my name by the way).

Me and Zictor recorded our dodgem mishaps because that's the only awesome thing we and a couple of others mainly went on. Although he had a HD camera while there was me with my brick Nokia phone. But anyway, it was fun, I like to call that shenanigan the Newgrounds Dodgems Brawl. Might stick my footage of it on Youtube or something. Ain't watched it yet so dunno if its worthy lol.

Eventually everyone went to Camden Town (still never been, I'll have to go another time) so at Waterloo it was time for me to say my goodbyes to Zictor, Wonchop, Shaun (dammit I've forgotten his NG name) and a girl he was with called Sarah (she was nice).

Getting home was funny. Forgot to get off at one station then had to stay on to go all the way round to another station THEN went back one station because my ticket was valid there (board game springs to mind). Then I missed the last bus, so I had to walk all the way home. Got back about quarter to nine lol.

Anyway, fun day, anyone who didn't go to the London one, highly recommend it :)

As for me getting back my urge to create again (and get that fucking game finished and uploaded)... I'll try :) Laters.

My first NG meet up

I was there.

Good meeting you dude, I was the dude with the goatee we met before going to Namco. hope you find the motivation to finish the game, it'll feel good in the end and will lead to good things. ;0)

Thanks dude, great meeting you too.

I don't think I ever talked to you at the meet and if I had more time I would have made sure I spoke to you all. It makes me wonder how Luis could manage talking to everyone there. Still, if you're going to the meet next year whenever it's planned, I'll be sure to go there and give us a second chance to talk to each other.

You make me wish I went. Oh well, next year...

Lovely meeting you fella!

*slap*

DAMNIT! STOP SLAPPING ME! haha, nah great meeting you too.

man i just missed it, i saw hans van harkan and tim froyerman by the entrance and thought there'd be more inside so instead of ssaying hello, i went in found no one and came back out and they were gone...:( real shame
Maybe i can see you lot next time!

i saw you dude :) sorry we didnt get the chance to have a chat :/

@ TheThingy5
Hans wasn't there, not sure who you saw, but it wasn't Hans. Tim was there though.

WOW! Congratulations!

Tell me you got footage of those hats getting knocked off my head.

Also i still can't figure out who you remind me of. Was a lot of deja'vu for me at the meet this year.
