The purpose of these groups as you know, is to set up a local community to get together for video game or NVGR related shenanigans. It's a great way to have fun with like minded individuals who carry the phrase "Also, Cocks" in their hearts. So, join me Dtoiders in creating something wonderful in the New England Area!! If you have any questions or concerns just email me at dtoidnewengland [at] gmail [dot] com
2 weeks ago the Funspot meet up in NH happened and I have to say It was awesome! Tha_Meat, ZeroTolo, Rawnewdlz, Sonicboom w/friend Craig, HeyRicochet w/gf Amy and myself were in attendance. It was cool how as soon as we got together, you could swear that we've known each other for the longest time. I'm glad we all came together for a good night guys!
A quest for Arby's, the great ticket obsession with the last of our monies and a 6 player X-Men arcade (who wants to be Dazzler?...anybody?) were among some of the cool things that happened that night. Here is to hoping that more people are able to come out next time with us!
Some things that may be scheduled for the future: Game Unicon: August 21st - 23rd

Space Ace...how I wanted to play thee...
Tha_Meat having a grand ol' time!
I photoshopped this to hide the fact that our heads were exploding from excitement!
I still can't believe Space Ace was busted and that was the first game I wanted to play when I got there! >.< I did find a gem of a SHMUP called US vs Them though, which made me feel little better.
The worst part about The Simpsons was that it was right next to the TMNT machine, so after playing TMNT for about 15-20 minutes and breaking it, a couple of us jumped over to The Simpsons. I don't know how many tokens I put into it, but I know that I certainly didn't use them all. My hands were getting so tired.
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
:D Looks like fun.
Unfortunately, the X-Men machine was at a different arcade down the road, but it was literally about five minutes away.
