I'm struggling to think of much else, thanks to a hangover.

 

[Stevisiov]

You have a Hangover at 6pm Nigel that is poor form.

I will make a list of what I am bringing at post it soon.

 

[daan]

Do we need more MildAshers or is 1 enough? I don't think I've got a spare one.

2 x 19inch LCD TV
2 x PSTwo
1 x G25
1 x Memory card
Assorted cables

I'll add a DVD recorder to that now, and I could possibly be bringing a Chris.

 

[Sureboss]

It's delayed from last night.

 

[Famine]

It's delayed from last night.

Tantric-tastic.

 

[Sureboss]

You'll have to explain that to me, Famine.

I tried doing colour tags on that, failed.

 

[Mrs. Famine]

A combined equipment list from the House of Cubicle:

2 x slim PS2
1 x G25
1 x DFP
Huge box of like a million cables
Several pairs of headphones (courtesy of American Airlines )
Possibly a 22" Luccudatuv if i've bought one by then
15" Luccadatuv
Probably a PS3 for amusement
Networking stuff
3 x memory cards.

 

[MagpieRacer]

2 unofficial controllers and a spare mem card if i still have them.

otherwise:

1xheadphones.

 

[Famine]

You'll have to explain that to me, Famine.

Tantric sex = the art of delaying it. q.v. Sting.

We still need at least two PS2s - preferably 4 if we're going to plumb the DVD recorders in (though the same can be achieved with a signal splitter and not need the PS2s).

I have access to 4 memory cards, so I'd like two sent to me (or 4 if we're blah blah blah DVD recorder blah blah wibble). If you've sent them before, you know where to send them - too many is not an issue. I MAY experiment with static IPs, which will resolve the need for a lengthy reset in the event of a netfart, so the sooner the better.


We also have more consoles and attendees than copies of the game currently. Please don't forget to bring (and note that you're bringing) yours!

As ever, TVs are an issue - though I expect Mr and Mrs Specialized will be able to source a couple locally. But IF you can bring one, DO bring one.

 

[Roo]

1x Oldschool PS2 + Network Adapter
1x GT4
2x PS2 controllers
1x G25
2x 14in telly (can get a third if need be) Edit: *reads thread* 3 it is then.
1x Memory card
1x 2 metre, 6 plug extension cable (possibly a second if I can find it)
1x Headphones

 

[daan]

I have access to 4 memory cards, so I'd like two sent to me (or 4 if we're blah blah blah DVD recorder blah blah wibble).

I'll just bring my card down to you on Thursday.

I also have a signally splittery thingy for the DVD.

I also forget to mention that I'll be bringing a copy of GT4...

 

[Famine]

That's pretty much one LAN right there. If we can get 10 set-ups that'll be one per driver and we have a twin 5-machine LAN and rattle through the race series.

I'll just bring my card down to you on Thursday.

Most. Expensive. Postage. EVAR.

 

[Stevisiov]

Misfortune has it (or sheer stupidity), that I traded in most of my equipment to buy a TV

So from me:

1x Racing cockpit (including wheel).
1x Copy of GT4
1x TV if I can find a safe place to put it in my car. (will be either 21 inch luccaddattvvv or a 32 inch )

 

[Venari]

Tantric sex = the art of delaying it. q.v. Sting.

And there's me thinking it was just good manners.

I'll just bring my card down to you on Thursday.

Most. Expensive. Postage. EVAR.

Heh. Not when you see how much fuel I can burn.

Oh, BTW, OT, FWiW, etc:

1 x Network Adapted PS2 (silver fattie)
1 x DS2 (silver... er... dingly)
1 x DFP
1 x GT4
1 x mem card (at least)

And, if required/desired:

1 x big ol' Sony CRT telly
1 x Dell CRT Monitor with Video-to-VGA Adapter
1 x Dell Video Projector
3 x 4-way mains extensions

 

[Sureboss]

A couple of gallons just to park, eh?

 

[Sureboss]

I can bring some power extensions. Probably get 3 maybe 4, there is one massive single plug 30M extension which is something like 25 amps. Will there be ample power sockets at the pub?

 

[kikie]

Why don't you guys buy an empty warehouse and make a permanent setup (without the ps's and the monitors)? Make a small bar in it and sleep accomodations.

 

[TheCracker]

I can bring along with me:

GT4
DS2
DFP
PS2MC

 

[Mrs. Famine]

Only one TV from the House of Cubicle i'm afraid. I ended up buying a 32" and there's no chance i'm bringing that with me.

 

[Famine]

Why don't you guys buy an empty warehouse and make a permanent setup (without the ps's and the monitors)? Make a small bar in it and sleep accomodations.

Because that'd be immensely expensive.

 

[Mrs. Famine]

There's an outside chance that the UKGTPX will be at the new House of Cubicle. Watch the space.

 

[Sureboss]

Not the House of Famine?

 

[Famine]

I'm outnumbered by Cubicles, 2 to 1.

 

[Mrs. Famine]

The house of Fambicle? Um, Famford Cubicline?

 

[MagpieRacer]

UKGTPX "The Famford Cubicline"

In the meantime, if Sureshot has room I can manage a 22" lcd.

 

[Famine]

We now have enough of everything for one full 6-machine LAN. Ideally, of course, I'd like moar, so that we can perhaps set up a couple of LANs (of varying number, but hopefully the same on each).

I'm a little confused as to how we can have 8 GT4s, 7 wheels, 10 TVs but only SIX PS2s. What is everyone playing it on?


Last but not least, IF you can bring something, DO. Don't assume someone else will bring something. Even if it isn't used in the initial setup, we might need it in the event of hardware failure, but it's also just plain handy anyway.

 

[TheCracker]

I'm a little confused as to how we can have 8 GT4s, 7 wheels, 10 TVs but only SIX PS2s. What is everyone playing it on?

Phat, old skool, non-network carded PS2's like mine one presumes.

 

[Roo]

I'm a little confused as to how we can have 8 GT4s, 7 wheels, 10 TVs but only SIX PS2s. What is everyone playing it on?

PS3s?

Oh, and I just stuck the memory card in the post.

 

[Famine]

Phat, old skool, non-network carded PS2's like mine one presumes.

Bugger me! They still exist? I thought they'd all DREd to death.

PS3s?

For people who think the sky glows green and purple.

Oh, and I just stuck the memory card in the post.

Eeeeexcellent.

*raises hand*

How easy are network adaptors to get a hold of?
