GBAtemp Tour 08: L.A. Meet-up?

We've received several requests for a meet-up in Los Angeles :)

So, we'll be there between April 28th (probably late afternoon/evening) till May 2nd (departing at 8:30 am... *yawn*)

So that leaves us:
- April 28th evening
- April 29th all day
- April 30th we're going to Las Vegas on that day.
- May 1st all day


nintendofreak and IxthusTiger have already contacted us.
Who else is interested? :yayds:

And another question: can anyone recommend anything to do in L.A. ?
I think the only thing we know we want to see for now is the big HOLLYWOOD sign on that hill :P

You need to visit a place called Compton.
There are tons of great people there and awesome attractions, from what I hear.

The street itself is kinda like the Vegas "stip" Down Hollywood blvd

And yes, if you can go to Compton go but simply to see Watts Towers :D

No, the neighborhood is not the *BEST* but stick to the major streets and you will be fine :D

Oh! and the Griffith park Observatory!
http://www.griffithobs.org/

I am around and in los angeles area...
many things to do in Los Angeles can be found here http://www.laokay.com/

if you guys are looking to meet-up someplace for grub you cannot really get any place else, try:
"Tommy's World Famous Burgers" - http://www.originaltommys.com/
or
"In-N-Out Burger" - http://www.in-n-out.com/
( Shhh, they also have a secret menu http://www.in-n-out.com/secretmenu.asp )


EDIT: Most "Tommy's" are open 24/7, and "In-N-Out" is open usually until 12:30 on the week days and 1:30 on the weekends

oh yeah also, you guys gotta hit-up a Hooters also (and not the one in Hollywood or Long Beach - thats where hooters girls are sent to die). Santa Monica Hooters has some nice California Girls. Pasadena and Burbank Hooters are also very well stocked in the attractive girls (on of the Pasadena girls was on Playboy TV a few times... I'm just say'n). sorry for the double-post
 
nintendofreak
SWEET!!! Yeah, lol Hooters sounds like a GREAT idea! Sadly, im extremely busy most of the time, but maybe we can set somthing up for tomorrow dinner?

Theres a hooters that id242 was talking about, amazingly close!
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&...mp;t=k&z=15
And if theres time, the observatory? Ive always wanted to go... Lol even I who lives so close has never gone lol

Post it up here :D We can go elsewhere if you guys want :D

EDIT: BTW, im in South Gate.

you all need to go to the echoplex on Tuesday night, the 29th in echo park, from 9-2am.

18+ and free, but I sweat to god it will be the hippest coolest thing you can do while you're in la, and its rarely free and you'll probably see a celebrity so take advantage why you're here

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
