Hanging out with a bunch of guys named John

June 15th, 2008 · 11 Comments

No kidding, HALF of the people at the Houston meetup were named John.  Dave and I got to chill with some great folks this evening, and since most of the arcade games sucked, we played shuffleboard.  ya.  Shuffleboard.

Here are some random pics and videos taken by fellow Sarcastic Gamer Philip Guffy.

Dude, nice shirt.

Dave showing off the “Dave Slider” a shuffleboard technique that involves heavy concentration, uncessary practice motions and then chucking your puck off the side of the board for no score.

The newest boy band?

We all agreed that Shuffleboard would make a great Wii app.   Hard to believe we were surrounded by about a million dollars in electronic entertainment, and yet our attention was captured by a table with sand on it.

Dave and I react to JohnnyNero’s “leg trick”.  It was worse than you think it was.

A few more pics and even a couple short videos will be up later on.  Thanks to everyone for a fun night and for giving Dave and I the chance to meet them.  Frickin’ awesome time in Houston.  LONO?  How was the Chicago meetup?

      Haha must have been fun…although some of the biggest gamers surrounded by so many games decided to play shuffleboard still confuses me

      Well, when you realize that Shuffleboard is better then75% of the games in the midway, it makes it less surprising.

      Shuffleboard is actually a lot of fun. Especially when you get to beat the pants off Doc and Dave.

      Here’s the introductions might of gone:

      “How are you, John?
      I’m fine, John, how are you?
      Oh, well, well. What about you, John?
      I’ve been better, John, I’ve been better.
      John, are you doing well tonight?
      Yes, John I’m fine.”

      But seriously, it was a great time.
