Drew|SF Posted August 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Sorry you guys can't make it this year. This is the 8th annual, hard to believe. I was poking around on the net last night and discovered that a gaming conference/show is being held in Germany next weekend and there is a slim possibility that Homeworld 3 could be announced while we're together. How awesome would that be? :-) Reaper doesn't think he's going to be able to make it, I think I'll give him a call this week and pressure him over missing one after making it to the first 7 years.

Malone|SF Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Drew, can you remind Reaper that of course there will be a STEAK NIGHT? I don't know if we want to go to a restaurant or grill our own, but one way or another there will be STEAK NIGHT.??Vic, I'm sorry you can't make it. Save your money and hopefully you can come out next year. How cool would it be to have all the Eastern SFs like Split, Fiirks, Vic, and Pit to road trip out here? Maybe if we do it at Reaper's next year (Ohio) it won't be such a drive for you guys.??Airwave, we are going to miss you too but I definitely understand. Airplane tickets across the Atlantic can't be cheap. Never the less, we will definitely hoist a beer in your name, and maybe toast the Queen's Mum. ??Drew, it will be good to see you again. It's ok about the boat, we will still have a blast racing go carts and tubing down the river. Sleeping at my place is no problem.??Malone out.

Malone|SF Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Oh, and by the way, my team won the National Ski Championships yesterday. ??We are now the best ski team in the nation, which by extension probably means we are the best in the world and possibly even the galaxy. ??http://www.gazettextra.com/weblogs/latest-news/2011/aug/14/rock-aqua-jays-win-national-title/??Malone out.

Syntax Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I'll be there but my cell crashed after last SF Fest so I lost everyone numbers (but Drew who called me).??I plan on being their Thurs late afternoon, leaving Sunday when everyone else does. Staying @ Malone's as well. I'll need an address for directions though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malone|SF Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hey Syntax, it will be great to have you! I'll text you my address so you will get my addy and my phone number all at once. See you Thursday!??Malone out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malone|SF Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Alright then! Drew and Syntax arrived late last night and we ate some taco pizza. Stayed up til 2 am talking about camping, Homeworld 3, etc... Today we are going to a gun shop, liqueur store, mall, race some go carts, eat some pork cutlets, and possibly play some Homeworld tonight.??I'll take pics and put them on Facebook.??Malone out.

Malone|SF Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Well, today we played HW1 for about 16 hours. Somewhere in the middle of that we grilled up some steaks, watched a couple Firefly episodes, and well, that's about it. It's 3 am now so I'm heading to bed.??Malone out.

Drew|SF Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I've made it safely to my step-daughter's house. Malone, you were an awesome host once again and I had a great time. I was not expecting to play Homeworld at all but it sure was a blast. Thanks for letting us ride your sweet mountain bikes my butt still hurts a little . I wish more people could have made it, the HW series has brought together an incredible group of people.??Yesterday's marathon HW session brought about a conversation about having a set evening like the 1st Saturday of each month that everyone can count on there being a fair amount of activity and players. We had several 4vs4 matches last night and it was incredible to be part of it. Thanks to all of you that weren't at SFest but found time to play some games with us yesterday like Fatboy, Chainster, Havoc, G-force, osgier, Volans, Rami-HG, EvilTesla, HalflifeRyan(drunk) and several others I'm sure I am leaving out. ??The weekend always goes so incredibly fast and it seems to take forever for the next one to come around. I'm always sad when our visits end. It always makes me think of that 1st year when some of Reaper's and Malone's kids cried when it came time to leave.????Enough sappiness, I'm off to bed. In my book, another incredible SFest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malone|SF Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Thanks Drew! I'm glad you guys had fun. Sorry about the go cart racing thing though. But we did have some awesome steaks!??I put up pics on Facebook. For those people still living in the Stone Age and don't have Facebook, here is a link:??http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2303320832721.133096.1540253231&l=d5cc3f1316&type=1??I do think that was the biggest HW marathon I've ever done. We started around 10 am on Sat and played til about 2 am Sun. Yes, we paused for steaks and a couple episodes of Firefly but that was about it. Syntax said he hasn't seen a 4 vs 4 in a couple years and we must have played half a dozen of them.??It was also brought up that maybe we could figure out a way to do a big camping trip together that might involve tents, mountain bikes, canoes, and hiking. Something to think about...??Also (to reiterate) what Drew brought up, would be the return of SF Nights. These were very successful in the past and with the huge turnout on Gameranger over the weekend we thought it might work out again. To keep it simple we were thinking of the first Saturday night of every month. However the next one coming up is Labor Day weekend and I know that many people will be out of town and unable to spend a night on the computer. Syntax already has plans to help his brother move from Colorado to Michigan so he would be out for sure. So I propose that for Sept we go with the second Sat (the 10th) and then try to go with the first Sat of every month after that.??I'll start a separate thread for SF Nights so we can keep this one cleared for SF Fest goodness. ??So, glad you guys had fun!??Malone out.
