So there I was, at 2pm sitting on my computer in my boxer shorts working on my secret little flash game project.. When out of nowhere I get a call on my mobile from a private number. Generally I don't bother to pick up my phone if the number is private, but I thought I would anyway just incase. The call was from Virgin Blue, they were notifying me that my flight had been cancelled and they were able to move me onto 2 different flights of my choosing. Only problem was all of them kind of fucked with my plans. I wasn't supposed to be leaving for Sydney till 12am that night and then arriving at the same time as Luis to hang then attend the NG meet at 12pm. So my only option was to get a hotel for one night and go a day early.
In other words I had 1 and a half hours from that call to get the hell on a plane. So without a doubt it was a mad rush to make it on time. But I did.
The Sydney meet was a small gathering of people, but it was fun considering. It took us ages to actually find everyone, but we did in the end. We went to Lunar Park which was kinda fail, so we decided to go elsewhere. We ended up having an awesome lunch then heading over to an arcade. I was fighting LiamTaylor on Street Fighter 4.. He managed to beat me once, then I returned the favour. Shortly after that a japanese guy sat down and cleaned the floor with me. Without realizing I managed to rip the knobby thing off the joystick whilst getitng off to let another asian bloke have a try. I gentely screwed it back on for him and told him I was a very intense player. His crowd of chums laughed. Sadly my camera was left back at the hotel, so I didn't manage to get any of the Sydney stuff on film! My bad.
From there myself and Luis had to run to catch our 1 hour flight to Melbourne! Upon arrival we both were buggered and fell asleep. The next day we met up with the whole crew and did everything from laser tag to break dancing (with a bit of drinking here and there). Not too much to explain about the Sydney meet, since the video does that for me! 17 people in total. It was bloody fun. Gotta love Master-Samus and his fliptacular flipping. He also made us all little Aussie Meet mugs! Looks like it'll be my designated Milo cup from now on.
Thanks to everyone who made it out, I had a blast. Hope we can do it again next year.
Cheers!

Sounds fun. I hope I can come next year.
Also, video is private? Well, that's no good to me.

What the hell. It defaulted to that. Changed now!
