I know of a LOT of people who have driven to Florida. My sister did that a few years ago.

If you are to fly, you would take the subway to North Station, then take the Commuter Rail towards Fitchburg. The nearest train station to TGA is Fitchburg, and that's like a 20 minute drive. There are no buses to TGA since there aren't a lot of businesses out in Winchendon, so you'd need to arrange a ride. Strangely the buses go to MWCC, which is 10 minutes from TGA, but that's as far as the buses go.

I see youre in Fitchburg

Any chance sometime in the future you can give a ride to complete strangers? XD

I've met viking once before, and he's a really nice kid, quiet, yet, nice. I'm sure he wouldn't have a problem, you'd just need to get an o.k from him & work around HIS schedule. Also how long would you be staying? I'm sure he wouldn't be going there every day the same time as you, so how would you get from the hotel to TGA?

It looks like IIDX GOLD is now at TGA (even as the Distorted machine is still there).

I guess the management of TGA is now ready to make it money

Yes it is. It's a boring drive as well. I love going to Six Flags, so I know that route well .

Dj Troopers


SOOOOO jealous....

[TheViking]

omg, Troopers is amazing. I played lots today. Played several games of 14-key, and many many games of 7-key, thanks mostly to a small blizzard that kept some IIDX players away. There are a lot of fun charts on there, and the hardware upgrade breathed new life into the old IIDX machine. It really feels as new as it could.

I cleared Ristaccia Hyper on the umpteenth attempt. That song is a fairly hard 9. I cleared Avant-guarde Another twice, my first 10 clear on troopers. I hope to clear oratio hyper and that A remix Hyper within the next few weeks. I found Switch to have a fun Hyper chart. i need to start playing more 11's. It's time.

I did find a few songs that I'm not really a fan of. Kick Out creeps me out to no end. Eco-g (Y&Co 80's Euro) sucks. Played it twice by accident.

It was a good day today.

[The Chemist]

How is the timing?

[TheViking]

The timing is very similar to CS timing, much like Gold.

Sooooooooooooooo jealous T_T
