LAPASET 2006 - The Aftermath

Pet Terry · Thu 06/07/2006 17:28:21

I just got back home from the first ever traditional Finnish AGS meeting. It was hell lot of fun and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, though the mosquitos and horseflies were quite annoying. The weather was ace during the whole meeting, and we did all kind of cool stuff.

The attendees were: Haddas, Inkoddi, Ishmael, JetXL, Pablo, Petteri, Stickieee, Tuomas and visy. Some of us also met Azash briefly the other day, and Haddas' sister Fanny kept us company on several occasions.

I've got hell lot of photos, video and 18 pages of Lapaset diary and it all needs sorting out before uploading, so stay tuned!1 For now, here's a photo to give you a general image of the happenings:

Pablo and Ishmael are still at Haddas', but I hope everyone is getting safely home. Especially Inkoddi, whose travel plan gave us gray hair last night.

A lot of fun? Everyone looks bored out of their skulls in that picture!!!

Glad you had a good time though, Pete - and it'll be fun to see the rest of the photos and videos!!

LOL, even Visy went!

PABLO WON'T LEAVE MY HOUSE! :'O

Ishmael · Thu 06/07/2006 17:51:36

Somebody helmp me... I'm in a closet and it's all dark and stuff in here. And explosions! D:

And btw. I took a whole huge lot of photos so far, and I'm still not finished, I think.

It was teh greatness!

Me & visy didn't drop Inkoddi off at Lahti, as originally planned, but took him all the way to Tampere instead, where he eventually got on to a bus. (I believe). As we were heading to Tampere, we stopped to pick up two russian hitch-hikers with us. Do always pick up hitch-hikers, especially the ones with towels. It's the humane thing to do.

I'll post a few pictures as soon as I have time to go through the piles of photos.

The time flew past surprisingly fast.

The first patch of Lapaset photos can be found here! The videos are coming tomorrow, I need sleep now because I haven't slept properly in ages.

Some of the photos are blurry and some have strange grainy stuff in them. Sorry about that.

EDIT: Also, I couldn't be bothered to load up 140 photos in Photoshop and fiddle around with levels and brightness of each one of them, so some of the photos are quite dark.

Is Ishmael holding a handgun in that picture with the donut? Sure looks like it.

Hehe, glad you guys had a good time

Mosquitos in Finland? Shurely not!

The picture is misleading, indeed. But from my experience I must conclude that this was THÃ‰ most chill out meeting evva!11! No plans, no rush, not even fierce game discussions! Everybody agreed with each other. The picture is about a few ags members sitting on a bed and playing every nes/snes/gb/c64/neogeo game made (and some arcade games). And when they got bored of that they watched futurama, HHGttG or PÃºmaman.

I didn't know Hanson toured Finland! :o

Ummmm, bop!

Mordalles · Fri 07/07/2006 01:39:51

ouch.

Azash · Fri 07/07/2006 07:16:26

So, will you be holding Lapaset next year as well? It's a shame I couldn't make it this year

Oh, and here's the obligatory "No, I really DID make it to Lapaset! Check out this unedited footage!!!11234567890FFF" picture.

Hopefully, yes. And if I get to say anything about it, we'll hold it here in Tampere

Nice photos, guys. I'm still not quite sure how I managed to look like a complete moron in all of them (it's me, isn't it?).

Stickieee · Fri 07/07/2006 09:32:36

Wow, it felt awesome to actually SLEEP last night! That's something we really didn't do at lapaset. Anyway, here are some photos I took. My personal favourite has to be this one! Who knew showell could be so mindblowing and interesting at the same time!

I just played the awesomest demo ever and was astounded by the greatness of it all.

Azash · Fri 07/07/2006 09:38:36

The cookie is defying gravity! :o

And why is my attention always drawn to stuff like this?

Haddas · Fri 07/07/2006 14:36:37

Maybe you're just crazy?

Azash · Fri 07/07/2006 14:42:18

DUN DUN DUHH :o

But on a more serious note, I would love attending Lapaset next year.

See? Work really does destroy your social life!

Nacho · Fri 07/07/2006 15:02:57

Pet Terry · Fri 07/07/2006 16:11:26

The videos are downloaded straight from the camera, so some of the files are quite big. I couldn't be bothered to to start converting them all.

But enjoy! I still have to scan the diary, but I'll do that later.

I agree with Jet that the meeting was overall very relaxed, and that added to the awesomeness of it. Also, great phatos, Stickieee!
