'Bout time I actually made the thread for this. Word's been floating around for a while, but I'll make a more formal statement here.
Metal Beer Solid Marathon osu!con @ awphouse
Where: It's at my place. I will be PMing the people serious on coming soon regarding the actual address, but it's in Guelph, Ontario.
When: June 4th-8th, tentatively. Please note that I have two midterms on June 8th so I'll probably write them while MGS4 is wrapping up.
What: A bunch of osu! folks are gathering at my place to play through all four console Metal Gear Solid games, in the form of a drinking game called Metal Beer Solid (drinking is not a requirement, just a recommendation). We'll probably be playing one MGS game a day, with MGS4 possibly bleeding into day 5.Day 6 will just be a wrap-up, for the sake of plane flights and such. I've got stuff to do June 9th. You're all on your own after the 8th.
Who:As far as I know, here is the list of people who intend to come. Attendees:
Dakeyrus
lilychibi
CheeseWarlock
SFG
foulcoon
Bob (don't know him that well but whatever)
awp
Cost and Accommodation: You don't actually have to pay to come. You gotta get your own ass down here, feed your own ass, and find your own ass some shelter, but other than that, it's free unless you're a dumbass and cause some actual damage.
Since there are more people coming than I had initially planned, I can't simply let everyone sleep at my place (I'm just renting, after all, and WE'RE NOT ALONE). Cheese and Dakeyrus, you guys can probably spend the first few nights here since you're not strangers to the household, though. As for everyone else, there's a few hotels here and there; one's just up the street and to the left about 2 or 3km away. I don't know how much it costs and forget the name of it, but I could check. If everyone rents one or two rooms together and pools money, it's probably fairly cheap.
Food: once everyone's here we could always all go shopping and pick up groceries for the duration; we can store the food at my place if there isn't too much of it. This shouldn't be too much to work out. There are cooking facilities (oven, two-patty and one-patty grills, microwave, stove, toaster, kettle) as well as restaurants (there's a McDonalds like a 10 minute walk away). I'm cheap so I eat at home.
Booze: Acquisition is no problem, but people also need to get to the hotel each night so someone's gotta play the DD.
The household rules typically don't allow smoking, so this rule will probably have to be enforced, but when we start MGS1 up I'm smoking my Cuban stogy to kick us off unless there's an objection to it.
This thread will likely contain pix when the festivities are over. If anyone else wants to join in, throw me a PM before Sunday, May 31st. Contact info and location is going out Sunday/Monday of next week.
Also everyone who comes has to sign my osu! mug >=|
Rules for playing Metal Beer Solid (incomplete, tentative, etc):
- "You" will refer to whoever is playing at the time. "Everyone else" is obviously everyone else.
- "Point A" refers to where the player enters the current map/zone. "Point B" refers to the objective (location or event).
- When the player triggers a "You" drink, that player will pass the controller and drink as soon as Point B or a zone is reached.
Everyone Drinks objectives:
That's what I said. (Taken from GameSpot forums) When a statement by one is repeated as a question by another during a cinematic. Ex: "...for Metal Gear that is housed here..." -- "Metal Gear?"
Say my name. When Liquid shouts, "SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!" in that angry defeated shouting tone of his.
Climbing the ranks. When Snake is referred to as a Legendary Soldier
Hooray for boobies! The camera deliberately directs your attention to someone's cleavage. (MGS1 omitted)
You Drink objectives:
Take two steps back. Return to Point A due to an unfavourable situation.
This isn't a sneaking mission. Reach Point B violently when you're supposed to be stealthy. Requires an alert.
Snake...? Snake!? SNAAAAAAAKE! You dead.
Jackass in the box. Raise an alert while hiding in a box/oil drum.
You're not fooling anyone. Raise an alert when you're (poorly) disguised.
Everyone Else Drinks objectives:
BOOM! Headshot! Score a non-sedative (aka fatal) headshot. Limit once per zone.
What was that noise? Reach Point B by stylishly or humourously avoiding the guards.
Legendary soldier. Achieve a Herculean task (most boss fights) unscathed. Ex: Destroy a fucking tank. On foot.
Hooray for boobies (and more)! Successfully distract one or more guards with pornography.
/IMG/
The crowd at day 1 + awp
Side-shot of awpcigar
A cuban cigar...Big Boss' favourite. (Pretty sure that's the right brand, too)
Oh, SFG and her beer
Vodka + Rum + lightweight = Prinny getting lucky
