[EvilMario]

Note: This will be a Saturday meetup! There was a large outcry from people unable to make Friday meetups, so we're going to try the weekend. If you can't make it, don't worry, we'll have another one in December.

Where: 6:30pm, Wheat Sheaf
When: November 7th (Saturday), somewhere between late afternoon and early evening
Wat: Come join us for a good time of eating overpriced nachos and drinking Coors Lite. We tend to move out around 10pm and visit nearby Korea town for fried chicken and soju.

Bar food? Disgusting: There will be a pre-meetup gathering at The Burger's Priest on Queen West. Let's aim for 5pm, so we can dine and walk over in plenty of time.

FAQ:

But I'm shy and scared of meeting people I don't know
Best way to get over that? Go out and meet some people. Yes, we don't know you, and you don't know us. However, the people I've met have all been friendly and we haven't had disagreements in the past. What will you talk about? What do you want to talk about?

But it's too far and it's too cold!
Yes...! Another convert of Team Warm! One of us was driving back from NEW YORK the night of the last meet up and STILL made it. Another came all the way from OTTAWA! The temperatures for the last meet up, I'm guessing, were colder than this coming meet up AND there was a power outage last time. Nothing...stops this train.

But I don't drink alcohol and bar food is disgusting
Come chat and/or bring your portable game system and play a few rounds of that popular video game with us. You can always come just to say hello, see the carnage, and be witness to the shenanigans.

But I'm poor...!
If you can make it, people usually treat others to at least one round. Of course, we aren't going to do this if Rob Ford or something like 50 crazies show up, but anyone who comes for a drink always gets one. You can always join Kraftwerk for some Kraft Water.

I'm busy doing [insert activity here]
If you're busy at home watching tv/movies or playing video games, they aren't going anywhere, and you can play games with us and discuss tv/movies with us. If you're busy doing someone, well...you can finish and then come visit after a shower of course.

I'm tired
Nothing brings out the energy like discussion and body slams.

Why would I want to go meet a bunch of Internet gaming nerds?
lol says the person posting on an Internet gaming forum.

It's possible, although I want to see exactly how it could be played in such a way. If we end up booking some place with a television, Mario Maker might be in play.

 

[krae_man]

Ohhh that's good too.

 

[isny]

Whoooo!

Hearthstone tournament too plox. I need a fireside gathering card back...

Toronto GAF Meetup XIII-III Kave_man Returns?

Have you ever seen me and Kave Man in the same room?

Spoiler

Just kidding, I sat beside Kave one time.

 

[Entropia]

Probably a no from me. Going to be in TO the previous weekend, and back in a couple weeks after that.

 

[Stat!]

We usually hold it on the west end of downtown(Annex, King West), but our meeting spot for this one is up in the air, so if you have suggestions, post in this thread.

You might also drop by the Toronto-Age OT if you haven't checked it out yet.

 

[mr.rager]

Nooooooooooooo! The one Saturday I can't go lol. Leaving for Japan on the 9th for 2 months and hanging out with some buddies that night! Haven't been to a meetup since the April one 😞 😞 😞

 

[Quadratic]

Uugh, that's Blizzcon weekend.

 

[EvilMario]

Not hearing a lot of suggestions on where you guys want to have the meetup. Attempt the Ballroom again? Head back to the Wheat Sheaf? Get shafted by Victory Cafe again when it comes to asking for the private room?

Common occurrence. Talk about the date in the Toronto thread, no one complains until the meetup thread is posted. Sorry, guys!

 

[dluu13]

We should go to Don Don Izakaya and just throw back half a million polar Sapporos.

Watch Dogs 2 now takes place in the Air Bud cinematic universe.

Far Cry Forza coming fall 2018 where the playable character is an exotic high-end sports car.

You'll definitely have a good time. We're a good mix of loud talkers and quiet introverts. Not every drinks, not everyone plays in the tournaments, some are just there to hang out.

I'll put a vote up soon for the location and we'll decide a week later, so let's say the 28th. We always have it near transit and the west side of downtown, so hopefully it'll be easy for you to access. If you need, I can give you my number and you can text / call me if you get lost.

I was nervous for my first time too, but everybody is friendly and we sit around and chat about stuff. Then, we go for fried chicken and soju, which I look forward to every time now.

Sounds good. I'm a bit (re: a lot) nervous walking into a new situation where I don't really know anyone or the location especially when it seems like everyone has known each other for a long time.

Hopefully, when I get more comfortable, I'll transition from quiet introvert to being able to chat.

Looking forward to it!

 

[hwalker84]

Put me as a possible coming from Pittsburgh. If not this meetup maybe next one that's a Saturday.

We've had plenty of people nervous their first time but are now happy to come. Frankly, I'm not sure how we haven't scared off shadowkat yet.

We all play (ok talk about...) games and there are sports fans and tv show fans and movie fans too.

Put me as a possible coming from Pittsburgh. If not this meetup maybe next one that's a Saturday.

Phil Kessel gonna be at the meet up! :0
