TDU competition - The Event's Date

[tenebra_uk]

Righto, finally...

We have been given the choice to pick up the date, so let's vote for the most convenient one for everybody. Atari will be running these tasters every day for the whole week, so there's room for flexibility :)

Please, remember to send either Understudy or myself your name, surname and age if you haven't done it yet.

[Jombob]

I'll just check which would be best!!!

[tenebra_uk]

Jombob, are you still asleep? Where are you seeing the option for the 17th July? :mefiant:

[tenebra_uk]

You ARE asleep, the thread was posted with the poll lolblue: lolblue:
Cold water helps, go wash your face lolblue:

Done!!! Much better now!!!

But one problem! I asked my mum, but she said no! I can't go! The reason being it would cost £130 to get their and back, and, were not really willing to pay that!!!
So could you organise to send me the goody bag please!!!

Sorry :noooo:

[tenebra_uk]

Sorry to hear that. I'll see what I can do ;)

Soooo, there is a spot up for grab. Anybody here who wants it? :bravo:

[Jombob]

[Gaskellorama]

Mid week is always a pain for me to do, and i doubt i'll be able to make the 13th as i may have an interview on that day, i might be able to blag the friday!! I have voted for 2 because i am fairly flexible!!

[Maxi_Live]

I would if there was 2 spots :P but id have to get my mate go for transport reasons with me not being able to drive. Unlucky JomBob

[tenebra_uk]

Hmmm...if you call me Mistress for the whole day today I might find a spot for your mate as well ;)

[Gaskellorama]

[tenebra_uk]

Sorry, I still have to sort that out, having a date was my priority. If you trust me/Understudy with your address you can surely pass it to us before going on holidays ;)

are there really people voting who didn't actaully win the competition?
Yup, that always happens, I made a public poll so that we can take out the votes of those who're not involved ;)

[Bezzers1986]

yep, I'll do that before I go, unless you get the information about it before I go.

[Stiltskin_77]

I'm fine for anytime next week mdr1

[Gaskellorama]

vote for all of them then!!

[Vieon]

I have a mate that's interested in this, are there any places for him?

[Taxi144]

I dont care so i voted for all. Looks like monday!!!

[tenebra_uk]

I have a mate that's interested in this, are there any places for him?
Vieon, I think there's another space or 2 but let's give forum members priority first :)

[Taxi144]

Yeh , davie evsky??? :)

[davie18]

I wish I could, but I live to far away :noooo:

Move atari up North! :bravo:

[Crazed_Dodgem]

Cannot do friday, i have to play with my school band in the national youth music festival in birmingham (an event that we have prepared for all year)
I can do wednesday however that is practice day for the band, so it will be less than convenient...

everything else is convenient (i think)

[ziggyjinx]

How Many Peeps Are Going !!!! (http://gaming.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=6004)

I thought it was just for them lucky winners on here.....lol

[davie18]

weirdblue

What? Tenebra, did you know there were lots of people going? :)

[ziggyjinx]

A company like Atari should be able to accomodate for all these winners over all them days and pick em up and do a drop off for the little buggers, it aint like atari is short of a few bob or so, the tight pikes.
What happend to hospitality !!!!

[the_gaming_guy]

I definitely can't do Friday.

Mums shoulder is busted so no driving. Too much for a train journey. Dad working. (Might be able to pull a sickie but would get in trouble if they found him lying.)

Oh, its not looking good. :noooo:

[tenebra_uk]

weirdblue

What? Tenebra, did you know there were lots of people going? :)
It was turned into a bigger event, yes, since there were lots of requests. In fact I'm now working with Hexus with booking the slots for you :) The good thing about this is that in case someone has problems with a particular date selected by the majority, I can reschedule him in any of the other days. It's all very good, don't worry ;)

I gather you don't read industry news and have no idea of how much producing games costs tonguegre
I think Atari are being very generous.

[leighton]

It now says we have to be 16 or over! What?!!?!?!

wanna bet (http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/716/716112p1.html)

"the new audited financial results show a net loss for the fourth quarter of $6.2 million and a net loss for the whole year of $69 million."

[the_gaming_guy]

It now says we have to be 16 or over! What?!!?!?!

What? Where?

[leighton]

http://gaming.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=6004

'Now there are a couple of conditions for those who want to attend. First, you MUST be 16 or over as there just isn’t going to be room for parents or guardians to come along too and we can’t legally have unaccompanied minors in the building. Second, you MUST be resident in the UK. '

[tenebra_uk]

That's Hexus' rules, you well know that I've fought for your cause and under 16's are ok. That's a special rule for the special people in the special Atari forum ;)

[the_gaming_guy]

So will it just be all of us lot together? Or will we be with other people?

[leighton]

ok, great! So their is room for parents!! No possiblity of going on a Saturday??

[the_gaming_guy]

So is there like 20 people to one session?

[leighton]

ok, so where do we post our details now?? Surely not Hexus! espeically if i am 15!

[Crazed_Dodgem]

by the looks of it, monday is winning, is everyone ok with monday?

[the_gaming_guy]

So can someone explain to me what's happening?

Will we (Atari Forum guys) all be together with a time slot to ourselves?

I thought this was a little event, turns out its huge.

[the_gaming_guy]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

i CANT GO.

[davie18]

Thats why I didn't enter, so I didn't make myself be even more disappointed when I realised I couldn't go :)

[the_gaming_guy]

For ****'s sake, i'm still trying to persuade my dad on msn.

[leighton]

well i am, YeY! /\ Haggle? I though thats when you try to get something cheaper?

[Bezzers1986]

For ****'s sake, i'm still trying to persuade my dad on msn.

don't worry, you come to terms with it eventually :p

Lets hope tenebra can persuade them to send another goody bag out :)

[leighton]

Please can everyone agree to go on a Tuesday!!! Or can we go on whatever day we want?? How is this going to work, how on earth will we all be free on the one day or have i got the wrong end of the stick?

[Crazed_Dodgem]

*hums* >dum< >dum< >dum< another one bites the dust

all this 'dropping out' buisiness isn't exactly making me confident about my parents sticking with their decision to take me...

[davie18]

Lol if she's dishing out the goody bags I wouldn't mind having one :nuts:

[the_gaming_guy]

If i do go, i don't want to end up with people i've never heard of.

[tenebra_uk]

Guys, why the panic? :mefiant:
There are 20 slots, and you have priority. You can decide to go on different days if you want, but I'd suggest that you all go together on the same day.

Why are you involving Hexus now? Your details to either Understudy or me.

[the_gaming_guy]

Wait guys, i might make any day except Friday. *hopes and prays*

[Bezzers1986]

Lol if she's dishing out the goody bags I wouldn't mind having one :nuts:

you had to win the comp to get one tonguegre

thats if she can get them sorted

[leighton]

phew!!! i was panicing because i got the wrong end of the stick. !!

[Crazed_Dodgem]

well, i see that leighton wants tuesday,i'm good with that, what about everyone else?

[edit] never mind...

[the_gaming_guy]

I could do Tues. (if i can go)

[Taxi144]

Well we all want to try and go on the same day , otherwise it will spoil it.

[the_gaming_guy]

If i can go, it'll probably be monday (NOT FO SHO)


Sorry leighton.

[leighton]

well i dont care as long as i get to play it! Im sure there will be some people that can go on the Tuesday with me I mean come on whos gonna miss out on that, a day with me,,,,,in person!!!!!!!!!!!

[Taxi144]

Well lets work around this , everyone who's going post your best day. And i'll edit this so we get the best picture of what day.

Come on everyone. TUESDAY, TUESDAY, TUESDAY. please!!!!!!!!!!!

you forgot my number!!

Get rid of (no number) and replace it with 10,000.

[tenebra_uk]

There's already a poll for the choice! :cry:

All you need to do is pick the dates you can definitely do, make sure that you have your parents' permission and send me the name. Why are you making simple things so complicated lightbulb

[Jombob]

Sorry people, I can't go :noooo:

The reason is on the first page!!!

And everyone is using my list that I created! tonguegre

[Taxi144]

We want to go on the same day , thats why its getting complicated!

[Jombob]

Change it to a list of who can or can't go!!!

[the_gaming_guy]

Why can't Leighton do monday?

[leighton]

There's already a poll for the choice! :cry:

All you need to do is pick the dates you can definitely do, make sure that you have your parents' permission and send me the name. Why are you making simple things so complicated lightbulb

Come on! am i the only one taht found your first page description confusing or what!?

by the way tenebra you have a PM.

Gaming Guy - Parents really busy. But not on Tuesday! I live near bristol!!!

[tenebra_uk]

We want to go on the same day , thats why its getting complicated!
According to the poll so far the favourite day is Monday, so work to achieve that everybody can make Monday, no? :mefiant:

[Taxi144]

Ok sure thing your modship tonguegre

[the_gaming_guy]

Sorry leighton, but monday would be the only day suitable for me.

I really think the majority of people should go on one day. It would be fun.

[craigie22]

this whole thread could have been avoided if Atari had announced the dates before the competition launched :)

I love stating the obvious :):)

[tenebra_uk]

Ok sure thing your modship tonguegre
It's mistress weirdblue tonguegre

Please try to decide by tomorrow early morning, I need to confirm shtuff :hallucin:

[leighton]

Oh Man! i really wanted to catch up with some of you people, never mind i'll just play it in a dark corner with a load of strangers. By the way atari. Can we take cameras???

[the_gaming_guy]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (3 posts up)

That post could have been avoided if craigie22 didn't state the obvious.

[the_gaming_guy]

Ummm....can we take in game photos and save them onto memory sticks through the 360?

[Jombob]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (2 posts up)

That post could of been avoided if craigie22 didn't post!!! tonguegre

[Taxi144]

Ummm....can we take in game photos and save them onto memory sticks through the 360?
Thats stupid , coz we cant look at them. lolblue:

[the_gaming_guy]

You know on GT4, when you take an in game pic and then save it onto a USB stick?

Thats what i meant

[Taxi144]

Well firstly i thought you meant the 360 ones. But now you've said that , still no. You cant get your pics or game saves from the 360 to your pc or storage device.

[the_gaming_guy]

Really?

That is deeply upsetting.

[Taxi144]

Really?

That is deeply upsetting.
Yeh , we all want our pgr3 pics on the PC but you cant do it , Unless you have a soldering iron spare , and the brains to do it.

[the_gaming_guy]

Is there a photo mode on PGR3?

[Taxi144]

Is there a photo mode on PGR3?
Yeh its really really good. :)

[the_gaming_guy]

does it not give you the option to save to a USB stick?

[Taxi144]

No , didn't you read what i said up there! ^^

[the_gaming_guy]

I did, i just felt that it seems simple enough.

Insert USB stick to 360
Save photo to external memory.
Ta-da!

[NWATA]

I can go on any day mdr1 thanks to my parents !

[Gaskellorama]

I can go on any day mdr1 thanks to my parents !

and yet you only choose Monday on the poll :rolleyes:

[Diablo_]

I'll be surprised if you can't transfer to USB or upload to a special place to show your images. PGR3 is a joke with it's photomode options, you can always extract the images but it's fairly difficult and not always reliable.

I haven't voted yet but I will know tomorrow, gotta see if I can get the time off work and also ways of getting down without driving for 9+ hours. I will definitely know tomorrow though. Could be another spot opening for someone though.

[thetarget]

Only date I beleive I can do is the Friday, I will check at work tommorow...

Thanks

Target

[the_gaming_guy]

I will know tomorrow aswell.

[Vieon]

Vieon, I think there's another space or 2 but let's give forum members priority first :)

Alright, no problems T.

Just so we know - Are we going to be with the Hexus people? Or will a day be allocated to forum members only?

[tenebra_uk]

Just so we know - Are we going to be with the Hexus people? Or will a day be allocated to forum members only?
The deal is that there are 20 spots available. If we fill them all, it's us only, if we don't some Hexus people will fill the vacant spots. Obviously those who want to go on alternative dates are more than welcome to go any other day with the Hexus guys - hey, they don't bite ;)

Nice and fair :)

[leighton]

well it looks like im going with Hexus Guys :(:(:(:(:( Never mind.

[the_gaming_guy]

Tenebra, have you been there before?

Just wondering if its easier to get there by car or train.

[tenebra_uk]

Tenebra, have you been there before?

Just wondering if its easier to get there by car or train.
Yes, I've been there. I'll need to check about parking but it's close to Hammersmith tube station. I'll be happy to give you directions if you guys give me an idea of what London station you'll use.

[ziggyjinx]

Jesus i would of never of thought a company like a Atari would be in financial difficulty and is such a very shame to hear, For one of the originators of the gaming world to be hard up is a very sad day indeed, i hope the future will bring better and brighter things for the company..... :noooo:

[Taxi144]

Can i have the address please? Or even the post code.

[Crazed_Dodgem]

directions please, i plan to come to london Via London Euston train station...

take it away ten :nuts:

[tenebra_uk]

Atari UK
Landmark House
Hammersmith Bridge Road
London W6 9EJ

[the_gaming_guy]

Is it easily accessible by car?

[tenebra_uk]

Directions from Euston:

Get the Victoria line (blue) southbound to Victoria. Change at Victoria and get the District line (green) westbound Richmond branch and get off at Hammersmith station.

From there, follow this map (http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=523172&y=178472&z=0&sv=w6+9ej&st=2&pc=w6+9ej&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf)

Is the Hammersmith and City Line not working?

[Crazed_Dodgem]

[Understudy]

[Taxi144]

[Vieon]

I am definately going. If there are spaces free T, could you PM me to say whether my mate can come?

[NWATA]

I never knew it was multiple choice :noooo: Anyway I can go on any day but i will probably go on Monday, the sooner the better + more people are going. :atari:

[tenebra_uk]

I am definately going. If there are spaces free T, could you PM me to say whether my mate can come?
I'll let you know tomorrow evening ;)

[Crazed_Dodgem]

[Vieon]

[Crazed_Dodgem]

right, monday for me (mum is ordering train tickets when she gets back from work... this better be worth the £50 it costs in train tickets...)

before i could ask my mate about coming, my mum told me there was no way in hell that she would pay for his ticket :nuts:

[Vieon]

And this is 1:30pm till 5 correct?

[tenebra_uk]

Correct, Vieon.

Lwsbrck, why should your mum pay for your mate's ticket? :mefiant:

It'll be as good as you make it, the game will be there but you'll have to make the atmosphere ;)

[Jombob]

Any idea what the goody bags will contain!!! tonguegre

Also any luck about them being sent to us!!!

[Gaskellorama]

Correct, Vieon.

Lwsbrck, why should your mum pay for your mate's ticket? :mefiant:

Do you know what colour socks Lee will be wearing, and what kind of hairstyle he has?

Will there be tea and biscuits?

[tenebra_uk]

I don't know. I don't even know what colour socks Lee will be wearing :cry:

[Understudy]

I don't know. I don't even know what colour socks Lee will be wearing :cry:
Just as long as he doesn't wear that blonde wig... eekblue: :nuts:

[Taxi144]

Im trying my up most hardest to get hold of mr trifle , he has a very busy schedule.

[Jombob]

Any idea what the goody bags will contain!!! tonguegre

Also any luck about them being sent to us!!!

You completly ignored my questions!!!

[tenebra_uk]

You've completely ignored the answers I've been giving you every day for the past 2 weeks: I do not know what's in the goody bag.

While it was only one or two I might have been able to arrange it, now it's far too many people. The prize of the competition is and has always been the possibility of playing the game at Atari, and the goody bag is something for those who actually attend the event. The prize has never been the goody bag itself.

Don't worry, there won't be anything big, don't even think about PSP's or anything like that. :nono:

[Taxi144]

Lol psp you've got to be dreaming! I'll be happy with a pen. :)

[Crazed_Dodgem]

goody bag...
think Pen, T-shirt, Baseball cap and Xbox360 faceplate (all atari/test drive unlimited branded of course :))

[Taxi144]

Some how i cant see the faceplate happening. Maybe a pen. tonguegre Oh and of course the bag!

[leighton]

:(:(:( Never mind, i am definetly on my own on the Tuesday:( Not one person that i know!:(

[the_gaming_guy]

:(:(:( Never mind, i am definetly on my own on the Monday:( Not one person that i know!:(

Surely you mean Tuesday?

Its a shame. You sure that there's no way you can make Monday? tonguegre

[Understudy]

I hope you mean Tuesday, the time sheets have already been sent off!!! weirdblue

[leighton]

yeah sorry tuesday!!

its just that mondays on my mind!!

[NWATA]

Will I be able to bring a friend along ? If not it's cool mdr1

[tenebra_uk]

Go on, NWATA, but I want to know it for SURE and have his name and surname by tonight :)

You lot will be shocked to see me in person.

Oh nononononono.

Gaming_guy is a guy alright.

The thing is, most of us have never met, and we will be shocked when we put names to faces.

Indeed. Im so wearing my corvette t-shirt. In with the spirit!

[NWATA]

[QUOTE=Gaskellorama]what you don't know his name and surname :lol:[/QUYes I do , i meant ill ask him if he wants to come.

[the_trifle]

Yay a date... Can we come on more than one date? tonguegre

Hey Taxi I got your message through yams, so Im coming up on monday :).

I take it the nearest tube station is Hammersmith? tonguegre

I'll be coming on the underground although I don't like it much... Too tight packed >.<

[tenebra_uk]

Guys, assuming that we're going too - as it stands now - Undies and I can pick you up at Hammersmith station.

[Vieon]

Ok, that's a bit more practical. How many of us will be meeting up there then altogether?

Oh yeah, do we ever get to know your real names? Or are you all mystery villains with no name?

[Taxi144]

The tram will busy around 5 but i doubt it'll be heaving, central line is usaully in the worst!!

[tenebra_uk]

Oh yeah, do we ever get to know your real names? Or are you all mystery villains with no name?
Tenebra is actually my real life nick - most of the people who know me where I was brought up call me Tenebra.

I fear that Lee or whoever else at Atari will give it away calling me by my real name though :cry:

By the way, it's really roasting in London, bring a bottle of water with you as it's pretty hot in the tube.

[Crazed_Dodgem]

roasting here too

but 'here' is wales, now 'roasting' and 'wales' are never ever ever in the same sentence, hell we had snow in april once

[Gaskellorama]

Going back to that really annoying point about the goody bag!!

but wouldn't it be REALLY REALLY nice, if those lovely people :atari: gave a special little gift of a car available for download on release similar to Play.com are doing with there pre order offer!!

that would be really really nice, oh and the cake and a balloon!!

going back to the above point, i've always wanted to try roasted whale, also penguin and panda!!

it's hot in Manchester as well.

My name is Mike and i am bored at work!

[tenebra_uk]

I've got a penguin. A Penguin of Death weirdblue

[Vieon]

You can eat seal with grated puffin in the far east. That sounds pretty cool.

[Gaskellorama]

(just how off topic can this go?)

[Jombob]

[the_gaming_guy]

Man, its soooooooo hot in Northampton.

We had thunderstorms and powercuts.

[davie18]

It's pretty hot in Sunderland aswell :)

[the_gaming_guy]

Trust me, where i live is nice.

I go to a school that was built in 2004

http://www.rm.com/_RMVirtual/Media/Images/chrisholmschool.jpg

Looks nice, don't it?

Not Private though.....

[Bezzers1986]

I live just down the a14 in Huntingdon. lol, my girlfriends college was (she finished last week) in Northampton.

Nice place, but they need to learn how to put road signs up dark:

[the_gaming_guy]

Recently, they re-numbered all of the roads so the signs look like patchwork and are all wrong. Bloody council. Well, they pay for our school.

[davie18]

My school is....aliright. He is a small pic of the 2 buildings it is made up of :)

[Jombob]

Down here in Gloucestershire its been warm but has also rained cooling everything down!!!! tonguegre

[Crazed_Dodgem]

bloody hell Gg that is what i call a superschool, unlike our council's efforts at a superschool, all they did was renovate the ancient assortments of boxy rectangles built in the 60's that were formerly called saint davids

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/38882000/jpg/_38882073_rhosnesni203.jpg

for the £10m it cost to rennovate it all we got was a slightly larger canteen, new computers a lick of paint and a new hall (was not originally planned but was burned down during the rennovation!)

[Taxi144]

Lol you dont even wanna see my school! It was supposed to be tempory , for around 15 years , its been there 40.

[the_gaming_guy]

£10M!

Our school cost £26m to build!

[Crazed_Dodgem]

[the_gaming_guy]

[craigie22]

[NWATA]

Tenebra you got the PM of my friends details right ? Just maiking sure. mdr1

[davie18]

Oh yeh and I go to an all boys school :rolleyes: :cry:

[craigie22]

haha....i couldn't survive at an all boys school tonguegre lol

[davie18]

And no ones allowed to even think of saying the G word, it makes Tenebra reach for the sledgie tonguegre

[Crazed_Dodgem]

i'll try not to say the word meaning homosexual

just because Davie18 never comes into contact with girls (bar his mum) doesnt mean he likes males (like a gay person!)

(its allright to say gay right, in the right context, just not as an insult, i.e. that post is gay = bad spending all day at an all boy school might make davie18 gay=good/right context)

[craigie22]

i wasnt sayin he was gay

[davie18]

Well my school is 30 seconds away from a mixed school, and about 2 min away from an all girls school :nuts: (the school what we are like sorta twin of)

Lol I know Craig, I just said that before anyone thought of it :wink:

That's ironic becasue gay actually means Happy and Good!!

[davie18]

That's ironic becasue gay actually means Happy and Good!!

That isn't the first thing that comes into most peoples head though. Tenebra wont be happy with whoever started this.

Oh noes! It was me!

[craigie22]

well we should end this now and talk about nomal schools like mine

[davie18]

Your saying that mine isn't normal? sour: Lol j/k

Ok, lets talk about "normal" (i.e. Boring) schools :)

[craigie22]

[Crazed_Dodgem]

[Crazed_Dodgem]

[craigie22]

[the_gaming_guy]

STOP the bullying

NSB (Northampton Boys School) is the best in our area. I could have gone, but i'd rather be in a mixed state of the art school.

[Vibroboy]

[Jombob]

Ditto, at least you get to play computer games all day!!!

[craigie22]

one of our dinner ladies died and now they're not serving food until the end of the term :(

[tenebra_uk]

You're kidding, right? Who told you that you get fed at work? eekblue:

[craigie22]

well u have a lunch break

we're not allowed out of school to buy food. Therefore i go hungry all day.

[the_gaming_guy]

Or..........you can take a packed lunch?

[craigie22]

it takes me 40 mins to walk to school

i dont have anytime to make packed lunch

i buy stuff on the way home from school

[the_gaming_guy]

Get up five mins earlier.

Grab some crisps, a chocolate, sandwich, and a drink. Not really hard.

[craigie22]

try living in my house. Then you tell me it isn't that hard :nuts:!

[Understudy]

Get up five mins earlier.

Grab some crisps, a chocolate, sandwich, and a drink. Not really hard.Who makes those sandwiches? Who makes sure there are crisps and chocolates in the cupboards? Who buys the drinks? :respect:

And who gets all spotty from eating crisps and chocolates every day? :nuts:

[tenebra_uk]

try living in my house. Then you tell me it isn't that hard :nuts:!
Tip: make your own sandwiches before going to bed, put them in the fridge and pick them up in the morning before going to school ;)

Life is hard at all ages, I know that. Just learn to make it as easy as you possibly can ;)

[the_gaming_guy]

Thats what i do. Stick 'em in the fridge.

[craigie22]

i will try that this week at school.

if i can fit my sandwiches in the fridge lol

and drinks arn't a problem as there are ribena machines at school :nuts:

not as good as the coke machine they removed last month tho

bloody jamie oliver!
