The first The Great LYN Nintendo DS Meet up was at McD, Sungei Wang in December 2005, with only 5 participants. Today it has become a monthly event/tradition in KL/PJ area, and bi-monthly in Kuching,Sarawak. With 8-10 participants averagely in each gathering.
Forumers will start voting for venues and dates at the forum board, either early begining of each month or end of previous month. The gathering Time will always starts at 11am/12pm, and ends after 3pm or later (because the NDS will run out of juices by then).
Selection on venues is normally based on these 2 main factors:
easy access of public transports; &
affordable hang-out areas;
Considering many of the forumers are still studying, who are heavily dependent on public transports to move around, and pocket money from family.
Activities During the gathering, forumers will share informations, such as tricks & tips, latest games releases, latest gossips in the game industry, technical questions/supports, fellowships, chill out, have fun, eat, drinks, tok-kok, and of course - go Multiplayer mode on the DS.
Normally, the gathering will kick start with Mario Kart DS, then follow by other popular games listed below:

September 2007- Kuih Bulan Edition; Time : 1100hrs - 1700hrs; Date : Saturday, 22nd September 2007; Battleground : McD, AmCorp Mall; Status:Completed Photo Gallery: coming soon
First of all the attendees, in order of appearance 01) penman; 02) Pr1me_Minister; 03) sihumcha; 04) kelvint83;
Reports: Generally, AmCorp Mall is a good place to host our monthly gathering. However, this month's outing is a bit cold, due to lotsa real life commitments/factors. But no worries, 'cos there's always the nxt month! :thumbs:
Games Played: Mario Kart DS - seems like everyone slacked, didn't practise at all. The performance was off the normal standard. LOL~
Tetris - Corez didn't present, so it makes the game more hope! :P We actually brought some jambu, to counter his jambi. Unfortunately, he found out about it, and stay home and pretend sick... ( :clap: just kidding!!!)
Sharing Session: sihumchai and penman were conducting a education workshop to Pr1me_Minister & kelvint83, of the up & rising Picross DS Community. They were touched, and planning to move on with this community.
The gathering ends at 3pm, as Sihumchai's DS ran out of juices. So we called it off and return home.
Despite the low attendance, we still have fun+good time!
Look forward to the next gathering, and see you all again!

August 2007- 50th Merdeka Edition; Time : 1100hrs - 1700hrs; Date : Saturday, 25th August 2007; Battleground : 01 - Hartz Chicken Buffet, Sunway Pyramid, Bandar Sunway;
July 2007 Time : 1200hrs - 1700hrs; Date : Saturday, 21st July 2007; Battleground : Utara Coffee House, Ground Floor, Armada Hotel; Status:GREAT SUCCESS!!!; Photo Gallery:The Great LYN Nintendo DS Meet up - July edition;
Description For a change, we are going to have something different and more comfortable. We are gonna have a Hi-Tea Buffet LYN Nintendo Gathering, it's RM35++ person at Hotel Armada. Currently, there's a "2+1" promotion going on, i.e. if we can get a group of 3, it'll only cost less than RM30 per person.
Facts From previous outings, I see averagely most of us, spent RM20 on drinks and food alone. This one... FREE FLOW!!! You can eat & drink until you vomit, from 12pm - 5pm.
Now wat? Now we need confirmations on headcounts, so that we can make reservations. And once you have put your name(s) down, please respect & honour it. Your attendance will be crucial to the gathering.
Payment we'll take the TOTAL amount, then divide by attendance on that day. It'll be great, if we can find a group of 3s, e.g. 3, 6, 9, 12, etc.
TOTAL BILL RM35 x 8 pax (4 free) = RM 280; 15% Tax = RM 42; total = RM322 (for 12 pax) RM27 per pax
First of all the attendees, in order of appearance 1 & 2) Pheonix & Prime (not sure who came first) 3) Core Z 4) Penman ( who did not see us oendaning at the lobby and straight walk into the restaurant.
While waiting for the others its already 12 and we started eating. Yum Yum Satay.
5 & 6) Ayish & Yuki (they bumped into each other at the LRT station I guess. 7) Hamtarox 8 & 9) Sihumchai and sihummoi 10) Andy (But no DS, came for the food I guess) 11 & 12) Bernie with GF
Games Played Mario Kart, Tetris, Bomberman, EBA, Oendan, Sonic Rush, Warioware. I might miss other games played.
Food Selection I usually avoids eating rice at a buffet, so since they have satay thats all I eat that day. Others that worth mentioning is the ice cream which they refilled around 4 pm. Can't really say much about the others but I saw lots of satay sticks at the table :).
Duration of meetup Sihum x2 and Bernie x2 left first around 3 plus. Then Andy, Hamtarox & Penman around 5. Ayish left after that and myself around 6. I donno how long did Yuki, Prime and Pheonix stayed at the restaurant or maybe after being chased out by the management :).
June 2007 Time : 1030hrs - 2000hrs; Date : Saturday, 23th June 2007; Battleground : Food Court, 10th Floor, outside IMAX Cinema, Berjaya Time Square; Status: SUCCESSFUL! Photo Gallery:LYN Nintendo DS Gathering Pictures June Edition
Elite Beat Agents - Round 1 - Corez/Phoenix_Cypher_K1 vs Yuki Ijuin (DL play 2 vs 1 :P) - Round 2 - Corez/Phoenix_Cypher_K1 vs Yuki Ijuin/Pr1me_Minister (DL play 2 vs 2)
Ouendan 2 - Corez/Phoenix_Cypher_K1 vs Yuki Ijuin/Pr1me_Minister (DL play 2 vs 2)
Pokemon Diamond/Pearl (trade) Phoenix_Cypher_K1, Pr1me_Minister (thank you for the Togekiss and Articuno :P hope you enjoy the Latis)
Overall I'd say the turnout was...not that great. Yep. And we stayed for quite a while (till 8pm). Yuki was quite busy with Nanostray and Ouendan 2 on my R4. Corez was busy playing EBA till his batt ran out. PM played my ori Ouendan 2 despite his touch screen being busted (and you ought to see what happened to his...navy DSL but I'll leave that to PM himself to explain) :P
despite we got some hiccup from A&W. We are officially black listed A&W, for any future functions or gathering in future. After we were asked to leave the place, even when we keep replenishing our food+drinks.
Corez himself alone, oredi ordered 1 combo meal, and 2 ice-creams in less then 2 hrs time.
and we haven't even started 2nd round... WAT A NOOB!!!
so we moved to Section 14's McD, and continue to have fun! tongue.gif
Games played: 1) Mario Kart DS - Winner: Prime Minister; 2) Tetris DS - Winner: Corez; 3) Club House DS; 4) Star Fox Commander DS; 5) Elite Beat Agents;
