Yes friends, it was that time again. "They" had gathered. Last friday we had the 3rd official finmeet. It was the day ramirez slayed a dragon. We didn't have quite as many people as last time, but I dare say that we did have more fun than last time! The lineup: ramirez, DragonSlayer, Verne, Jonbi, Erasmus^_^, Babar, mika (+gf) and me.

There's not much to tell about the meet itself that isn't strikingly obvious from looking at the pictures. We got together, ate well, drank well and played well. This time in addition to the video games, we also had some board games (whoa).

The meet movie this time was Dark City. While it is a great movie, in retrospect it maybe wasn't the best possible movie to watch in a meet (I had to keep throwing rami with paper balls to prevent him from falling asleep). It was, however, decided by a public vote so no complaints can be made.

Good stuff. I also won the award of being the only guy passing out (honestly I was just tired didn't even drink much!!) during the meet. These guys need to learn how to play poker.

so can someone (DP) draw red circles around DS and blue circles around rami or something. I know what DP looks like, so you can leave that, but come on..... we need some sort of color-coded system to figure out which admin is drunk in which picture.

Oh man, I really wish I could have been there. On the other hand it wouldn't have been half as fun with me there since when there is game. Shinan wins. It's an ancient fact.

Next time I'll try not to do anything cultural when the finmeet is on.

fuckin finns

i never really got guitar hero but that is an awesome photo where you are aiming the controllers towards the camera like heh.........we're hardcore

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.
