I want gaming pals in Groningen!!

Re: Who's from Groningen?
Hi,
I live nearby Groningen, about 20 to 30 minutes driving. Have a personal "mini-gamecenter" with 5 candy cabs and a dedicated racing cab, ran by me and 3 friends from here.
There are a lot of pictures here http://www.forum.nozomi.nl/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5642
Not really into fighting games (especially not Street Fighter, but do like Tekken/Soul Calibur/DOA), mainly shmups and puzzle games.
Currently not much time unfortunately, but you're welcome somewhere in the near future

Re: Who's from Groningen?
Well, actually, uhm, no I'm from Germany and my parents too
But nice to hear that! On the map it looks like you're about an hour away from Groningen, right?
I found a facebook group for Dutch fighting game players and they said there are many Smash Bros players in Groningen and a few who play SF4 and the new Guilty Gear. Guess I'll join the GG party
But I'm a scrub though. Only meet me if you're not looking for a challenge

Re: Who's from Groningen?
Hey what's up?!
I don't want to put myself into the spotlight and I'm also still afraid of posting in Dutch!
Just wanted to let you know I will move to Groningen around the 24th, so is the SHMUP TEAM NOORD perhaps planning to meet sometime in September?
I will probably bring my car, too (if the repairs will be finished until then) so it won't be a problem to come to wherever you guys meet!
Is there any chance of becoming a member of SHMUP TEAM NOORD? Any game I have to 1CC or any score I have to beat?
I'm so excited about everything, can't wait to move into my new room! With all the CRTs I will have to carry up the stairs

Re: Who's from Groningen?
I think they will be very happy to actually have a good shmup player among them

Also, all 4 of us placed in the top 10...
(only member performing worse then you was me)

Re: Who's from Groningen?
That was a great day...I found out that I sucked less at playing shmups than I thought.

There seems to be a Babylonian language confusion going on here, related to sucking

Nedgame.
Oude Ebbingestraat 68
When you're standing on the Grote Markt, and look at the V&D, the oude ebbingestraat is on the right side of the V&D. Walk +/- 200 meter and then it's on your left hand.

Re: Who's from Groningen?
It is a nice shop! Lots of merchandise and retro, too!
Haha I went there, told a friend about it and now I will have to get plenty of GBA games for him from that store because he collects GBA PAL complete
