Boston Area Torquers?

#1 Bah. Missed yet another. Speaker looked interesting as well. I've been meaning to show up, hopefully I'll get to it next month.

#2 It was interesting.

Took me a while to "get" the game they were demo'ing. Still not sure I would buy it, music games don't seem to register with me.

#3 OK. Let's all agree to make the next one in January. The pattern is to alternate between Tuesdays and Wednesdays so the next one will be on a Wednesday. Bring all the members of your teams that you can and we'll swap code, scripts, and stories on how the engine works.

I'll buy the first round. I was one of the original founding members and a member of the board. In fact, the name of the organization "Post Mortem" was my idea. And yes, I blatantly stole it from Game Developer Magazine :)

#4 I try to go every month. So, see you then!

#5 Hope to see you there! I finally got myself on the mailing list so I should be dutifully reminded when the time comes. Perhaps we should all wear identical items of intimidating/conspiratorial clothing? ;)

#6 Just how "darkly conspiratorial" would you like to be?

Dark grey suitcoats with a red carnation in the lapel would probably make us stand out like aliens on landing pad in Close Encounters :^}

#7 LOL

It sure would :)

I kinda like that, but I think my wife would think I had lost my mind :)

#8 Or maybe just come with really long screwdrivers (because they give you lots of *torque*, duh...).

#9 Hey thats great, I live in Chelsea. Less than a 10 minute drive to cambridge. I would like to go but I am to young :( 17. But Currently I am on the game design stages for the game that my team SystemSaga are creating. Currently I am building the website but here's the link anyways www.systemsaga.com. So maybe I can go? Just to see whats it like to be around gamer developers. Good to see game artists here in the boston area :)

#10 Well, you might want to email the organizers about the age thing, it is mostly a 21 and over crowd and there is beer as well.

Couldn't hurt to ask them though.

#11 oh........ forget it then. Have fun guys, see in a couple of years lol. Too bad.

#12 I hate excluding anybody who is interested. Maybe we could at least find a place near where it is being held to meet for a bit. Depending on where it is being held you might be able to get in - one place serves dinner. I'll check with those in charge and try and find out.

#13 Excellent idea, David :)

#14 I'll e-mail the appropriate people tomorrow.

#15 Hey guys -

I'm in the area too. Stopped in for about an hour at the PM, but had to leave (Mac codebase and my contract job are keeping me busy...).

Christopher's shouldn't be a problem. Brewery downtown might be though.

BTW, I'm looking for content/demos of TGE to bring up on the Mac and possibly show off at Macworld early January. If anyone knows of some cool stuff, let me know.

#16 The correct day is Wednesday.
The correct DATE is January 9th, 2002.
The correct time is 7:00 PM.
The correct place is Christopher's, in Cambridge.
The correct thing to do is be there.


They have a restaurant at Christopher's so everybody should be able to attend. See you all there. Missed the first one due to illness, sorry.

#17 Let's do this ;)

Cya Wednesday.

p.s. David, I was effectively outta town last weekend, and will be outta town again this weekend, I'm not ignoring you, just got super busy. Hopefully I will have something on a CD for you if you will be there Wed.

Can someone bring a torque capable laptop?

#18 I'll bring mine if I can lick the video problem with my Mobility chip by then. Hell, I may just bring it anyway, ugly crashing graphics and all.

#19 Don't forget today's the day!
7:00 is the time when it starts (although most don't show till after 8:00.)
My laptop is worse than useless, tried new drivers and it made the graphics worse. So if anybody has a working laptop that can run torque bring it along! (I'll bring this one but it won't do anything useful unless I get lucky between now and 7:00pm.)

See you there.

#20 David C, you coming tonight?

I'll try and find a laptop.
