We should have winter social up in either Johannesburg (Cresta) or Pretoria (Menlyn) for the Game.Dev community. How about lunch (13:00) at the Dros on 18 July? Which venue is prefered and who would be able to make it?

Date looks good for now, and I'm happy with whichever mall is most convenient for the Majority(tm). Barring Murphy kicking me in the teeth again, I'm there.

Seeing as I'm pretending to make games now i may as well show up :P
I'm the same as Gaz, whichever is easiest for the other I'm happy with...
also there is a small possibility I'll be traveling at the time, but barring that I'm there.

Then let me put a preference down for Menlyn!
Well, Cresta is more convenient but I can probably make a plan to get to Menlyn if I have to.

I should haopefully be able to make that date. Menlyn is best for me.

Uhmmm, Fengol, why limit it to only Game Dev people?
It seems my successors of the meet and greet have become lazy in my absence. Why not extend the invite to the main NAG forumites as well?

I guess it's just to get a more "focused" meet: you know, so that if somebody starts chatting about gamecrafting, everybody will be able to relate. :P
I unfortunately don't think that I'll be able to make it. After the festival in Grahamstown, I'm sticking around for a bit 'cos I've got a GH Metallica order to wait for. \:D/

Less than a week to go until the Appointed Hour. This still happening?

yip, I was just about to bump the thread. Of course anyone from the NAG community is welcome!
Does anyone have a SA Game Dev account? They're welcome to join the social as well!
So far it's looking like Menlyn is the best venue option

Dros Menlyn at 13:00 on Saturday it is, then. Put me down as 95% confirmed (5% allowance for Murphy :P).

Table is booked at The Dros, Menlyn Park under "Andre Odendaal" table for 6 in non-smoking.
Hope to see you all there. I'm sure they'll be able to add more chairs if more people pitch. Everyone is welcome.

Erk, I don't think I'm gonna make it. I have climbing to do.

Hope the meet went well.. I was busy chatting to Dominic Keating (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominic_Keating) about the idea of him being Captain of the Goodship Lollipop :P

Pics or it didn't happen.

No pics unfortunately; it was a small meet of which more than half were playing "The Infected". We talked about the new Mechwarrior game and what makes a mech game, spacetimepancake theory and looked at some prototypes from Aequitas and Dislekcia for their current project.

No pictures? Nonsense! Meticulously constructed from my absolutely flawless memory, are the Chronicles of the Meet!

Fengol enjoys his beer. He was the only one drinking alcohol at the table. For shame, and other needlessly derogatory comments.

I try to summon Nandrew. It doesn't work. ;_;

Zak is nervous as the zombies Aeq and dis talk about stuff. Dis ate pamcaeks. Aeq ate brains.
Stop looking at me like that. My memory is flawless, remember?

These pancakes hold the secret to harnessing the quantum world. Teleportation, FTL, cancer cures, all of it. Couldn't summon Nandrew with these either. Bummer. That black stuff is either cranberry sauce or spacetime bleeding from the wounds.

We did summon a giant mech though. It destroyed the restaurant and most of the mall, and we didn't have to pay for our meal. The pilot even gave us a ride home. It was rad.

I can attest to the accuracy of these pictures!
Aye that is how it was!

oh fantastic! This definitely deserves a 2-finger walk up High Five and I completely forgot to mention the mech pilot, he had candy too!

Gazza wins the journalistic integrity award for amazing recall and kickass pictures. That is indeed how it went down, yo. The mech pilot was rad.

@ Gazza: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Brilliant pics, man. ^_^

What does this teach us about drinking beer? Hmmmm? ;P
The moral of the story is clear, good Game.Devvians: if you had attended this meet, you would not only have got to experience these events in glorious Technicolor Real-O-Vision, but you would've ridden home sitting on the barrel of a PPC. Bear this in mind for the next one.

Awesomepics of winsauce.
I had half an inkling to secretly go up to Gauteng, hide about in the mall and wait for Gazza to wave a knife around.
It would've been epic.

You would've blown Gazza's mind.

O_o
I can only assume Gaz would have died happy.

Assuming, of course, that I didn't reflexively stab him as he sneaked up behind me, which would be unfortunate.
Okay, not *that* unfortunate. I'd get to keep his hat. :>

Bear it in mind and wear thermal underwear (see Space Quest III.)

I thought you were just doing your regular spy checks. They made me hand in my flamer before I got there.
