So, what happens when you put
three Sea Snipers from around the continent together into one place for 6 days…? Let’s just say a lot of
beer, a lot of
sugar, a lot of
gas (the kind that you pass!), a lot of gaming, and a hell of a lot of
fun!
This past weekend
Tuefel Hunden and
Midnight met up with
DatGuy in Vancouver for a few days of fun, and of course the fun started immediately. Tuffy flew into
Vancouver on Wednesday and Midnight was there to pick him up. We both
drove to Dat’s place and once we got inside, we were greeted with a pleasing note on the coffee table, “Tuefel, YOU SUCK. Don’t touch my stuff or I will be forced to kill you.” Such a
warm welcome! Anyway we get there and have to wait for Dat to arrive, so we decide on
a little pay back. Surprisingly enough,
Shooter shows up also! So, that evening we all head out to
Toby’s where Dat and Tuffy put down a few pitchers while Midnight drinks all of the Coca-Cola the place has and
gets wasted!
The next morning, Dat has to go into work where Sony put the ixnay on us getting to check out SOCOM Confrontation. Boo, hiss… Anyway, Midnight introduces Tuefel to the global phenomenon of
Geocaching and they spend a couple of hours hunting down a few local
caches. Around noon, they head over to Slant Six and meet the
lovely studio coordinator who Tuffy can’t stop talking about. We weren’t really allowed to do anything there, but a 3D Artist with
killer tattoos was very cool about taking a
group photo of us in front of the Slant Six logo in the lobby. DatGuy then takes them Vera’s for some friggin’ crazy burgers, though we kept ours pretty
tame. They’ve got one called the Vick that would be enough to feed a small country for a year! Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately for all SOCOM fans), DG has to get back to work, so we head up to check out the
Capilano suspension bridge, otherwise known as
Endor!
This place was awesome. If it wasn’t already odd enough the first night,
Shooter shows up again! After Tuefel stops
taking pictures like an Asian tourist of
trees taller than a
thousand Bassani’s, we head back to Dat’s place for a little gaming! Of course the night wouldn’t be complete without going back to Toby’s for more tasty pints of Canadian brew.
Friday morning we end up sleeping in a bit longer than expected and Tuefel wakes up to see
DatGuy’s e-famousness explode onto the world! Okay, maybe that’s a stretch. Anyway, we pile into Midnight’s land yacht and head up to
Whistler. It’s a little late to catch the zip line tour that we wanted to do, so we do the next best thing,
drink lots of beer at a place called
Black’s in the village. While we are there,
Jules (an old high school friend of DatGuy) comes out to have dinner and a few drinks with us before we head out for her
going away party that evening at the
Keg. Before heading out though, we all head over to
Jules’ place since she was letting us stay
there for the evening. Very cool of her! Her
place was
amazing by the way. Shortly after dropping our bags, it was time to head out and it wasn’t long before the drinks started
coming and
coming and
coming. Unfortunatly,
SportoFu was working next door, so he couldn't join us. There was an
unending supply of woman to choose from, but Midnight ended up
having too many! Dat was catching up with his old friend Jules, and Tuffy was
hitting on the waitress. The night was long, but so much
fun!
