Huge news is not just that the B-Boys will be going to the midnight session - as they did for Phantom Menace and Clones - but Z will be coming along as well. Yay!!! Yep, the trailer gave him goose-bumps, which is Z's quintessential telltale for determining Z excitement. So he's decided to obey his feelings. It's the way of the force!
After the successful event last year, Simo's offered again. B-Boys should remember to bring some interesting personal music - like Eurovision!
Doomathon this year? Well, there won't be one! Shock, horror, but there just won't be a chance. First time ever the B-Boys have missed out on a gaming event during an entire year. Naturally everyone blames Bob. Look to one in the new year, though.
Pentastic, Grey Song (especially if it's wet) and Makybe Diva - these are the UKKK's (the B-Boy's horse racing connoisseur) early tips for the Melbourne Cup. In fact, he suggested Makybe Diva for this year in the report about last years Cup! Look out for Distinctly Secret too. In the Caulfield Cup, add Another Warrior, if he can make the field. Most B-Boys will be up for their sixth Cup straight, while, of course, the UKKK is up for his 27th straight
Hopefully during that Cup week period, a Smackdown maybe in order. But after the recent illnesses and non-attendances that have plagued recent gaming events, rumour is that the UKKK will require a monetary deposit from every B-Boy before committing his new and improved Konsole Kingdom, not to mention his precious time, to such an event.
Z's already preparing physically, mentally and culinary for the second instalment of his GF Day BBQ. A great success last year, especially with Collingwood losing such a close match (at least it was a brave effort). This year it's shaping up to be a total non-Victorian-team match meaning no obvious allegiances for most B-Boys. Argh well, as long as those snags are ok.
With Simo on holidays and his brother, the Dutchpunk such a Quake 3 revelation at the last Bobmart, it's perfect opportunity to visit the SimoDome again. But this time, Bob and the UKKK have been working feverishly on creating new QWC stats, and all eagerly await Z's profound analysis and subsequent diagnosis of where everyone went wrong.
Last year it was a BBQ at Z's, previous years saw piss-ups at various clubs, this year it's undecided. Maybe do both. This year the day falls on a Friday, so maybe a soiree at Paddy's on Southbank, then Saturday BBQ/Pizza and GOBB. Just be prepared!
While Simo's a Pies fan, some of the B-Boys are also interesting in seeing this match. That's because it's a rematch of last year's Grand Finalists and just so they can see Collingwood lose live this time!
It's on again! The big annual Queens Birthday Bobmart - the mother of all B-Boy gaming sessions. Huge rivalries are building with C&C Generals, not to mention the new Quake League Championship. Ricky B's should turn up for some Timesplitter, Mario Tennis and Beach Spikers. But best news of all, Simo's brother, the Dutchpunk, has just bought a PC and plans to show-up himself! All the B-Boys need now is for Bob to gain permission from his Mum!
The Melbourne Cup weekend is developing a tradition as a Bobmart weekend, and is second only to the Queen's Birthday B-Boy Game-athon. Like last year, the B-Boys will attend the Cup on the Tuesday and hope to turn around a poor 2001 betting performance into one that reaps gazillions of dollars. Most will be up for their fifth in succession, whilst the UKKK will be going to his 26th! Also like last year, the same headline has coincidentally been used. Spooky!
After the success of Z's first ever BBQ, he's agreed to have a BBQ Grand Final GOBB. Yummy.
With Simo settled in for a few months by then, the new SimoDome will undergo its first major B-Boy test run. The venue itself has the most open space of any B-Boy venue, so should cope. It's just a matter of Simo ensuring the ambience and the coke is in order. Simo will also need to draw some inspiration from his new venue in order to redeem his Quake skills that went terribly amiss at the first Brouhaha. With the rest of Quake World Order in form, some classic QWCs like QWC8 at Bobmart 11 will be on the cards. It might just finally see the UKKK's QWC reign finally come to an end.
The annual Queen's Birthday weekend Bobmart is a goer. Venue is actually undecided yet, as Simo's unsure if he'll move into his new house in time. If he does, it maybe a pseudo house-warming at the new Simo Dome. But just get those Quake 3 skills ready.
The phrase "it's all happening" has just reached a new crescendo. The month of May 2002 will see two enormous events for the B-Boys. May 16 sees the release of Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones (what a dumb name - "The Clone Wars" would have been better) whilst the next day sees the release of Nintendo's Gamecube console. Bob and the UKKK will be purchasing on release and will be eager to snap up sequels to their favourite games of all time (Waverace and Rogue Squadron). Bob also has the release of the latest Final Fantasy game on the PS2, whilst Z plans on finally getting the DVD player he's put on hold since last December. However, after bizarrely changing his mind from "definitely" to "no way" in the space of a day, Z won't be among the B-Boys for the big Star Wars viewing. But that's his loss, especially after he regretted not seeing Menace on its release. Again he's offering the same lame excuse of not being able to take a few hours off work (at midnight mind you!), switch shifts or to even re-jig his hours. No, he simply refuses to participate in this monstrous B-Boy event. No wonder his brillocity rating is so low.
Anyway, to top the month off, the UKKK and Simo will be on leave for the final week and for a part of early June, with the UKKK planning on hitting the Gold Coast for his annual surfing pilgrimage. Plus, tickets to the World Wrestling Federation's Global Warning event scheduled for Melbourne on August 10 will be going on sale on May 20. Finally, of course, the B-Boy awards nominations will be kicking off. Phew.
After Roy's original Doomathons, Bob's recent Bobmarts and the UKKK's Smackdowns, Simo's finally going to host a major B-Boy gaming event when the first ever Brouhaha has been scheduled at the temporary Simo Dome of his girlfriend's house starting from the 13th of April. All the B-Boys will be there, and amazingly, so too Z. It seems he's got his mind into order and can start committing to events scheduled greater than a few hours in advance. And hopefully the UKKK's PC will behave itself this time so he can defend his Quake World and Hardcore Championships. If not, suppose he'll just have to remain champ for that little bit longer!
Who'd of thought Bobmarts would reached double figures? While there was one cancellation and one non-event when Z failed to attend for not being in the mood and letting everyone down, the weekend preceding the Melbourne Cup will see "Bobmart X - The X-orcism of Z" take place. After Z let all down with the BM9 fiasco, he has taken it upon himself to prepare mentally and physically, and unleash a new Z on the B-Boys that will rise to the challenge. The rest of the B-Boys will also help in the transformation by beta-testing the new Z. Ideally, the old Z will be exorcised completely, with a new Z - code-named Xavier - to supplant it. The transformation has actually begun as he's just recently grabbed a new 3D card for his PC to improve his Quake skills.
Bobmart 10 is just the start of it, as the Tuesday after the weekend is,of course, the Melbourne Cup. While the UKKK will be attending his 25th in a row, most other B-Boys will be up for their fourth. It is looking like it will be a classic race this year with many top horses emerging as challenges. That's not to mention the international horses whereby Italy and the USA look like having their first representatives for the race. Sadly, last year's winner - Brew, that Z and the UKKK won on - has retired through injury. However, B-Boy favourites from last year Yippyio and Kaapstad Way will be back. And look out for the brilliantly named Maythehorsebewithyou. And may the horse be with you too.
Z lost for the first time in three years, whilst only Bob managed to pick minor winnings on the winner, Ethereal, and broke even. The UKKK got back half his losses by winning on the subsequent race. Whilst the Cup was a disappointment winning-wise, it was still a great race - and a great day - as the mighty NZ mare, conceding 5 lengths, ran down Give The Slip over the final 300 metres.
November continues to be a huge month for the B-Boys as the national football team is due to play its quadrenniel World Cup qualifiers against an undetermined South American opponent (though most likely Uruguay). The first leg of that match has been set to be played in Melbourne at the MCG, with all B-Boys attending. The following week, the UKKK has invited the B-Boys to his Konsole Kingdom to view the return leg. That match will be a very late Sunday night or early Monday morning, so will test some of the B-Boys faith in their national team. Royza and Bob will be dead-certs, no doubt. But before then, the warm-up game against France is scheduled for the 11th, with all B-Boys, except Z (who's decided to view silly touring cars in New Zealand of all places), attending. And that includes apparent soccer-hater Simo, who still can't work out what possessed him to part with $200 to see the matches. Call it loyalty to the B-Boys and B-Boy events, or maybe he really is a closet lover of the world game.
While the B-Boys revelled in the two matches, Australia ultimated saw another World Cup campaign go down the drain. Read all about it in the UKKK's Socceroo Realm.
In what looks set for an annual event over the Queen's Birthday Weekend, Bob will host the next B-Boy gaming extravaganza - Bobmart 8. With all B-Boys finally Quake addicts, a full Quake World Championship has been organised to decide the ultimate Quaker. In fact, WCs in just about every game has seemingly been created, and no doubt WC in crappiness and idiocy will be on too (though, Bob and Z are raging hot favourites to retain those titles respectively). Check out Rooster's QWC page for more details and final results. Quake World Championships
The inaugural B-Boy Footy Tipping Competition was won by the UKKK, and with the prize being free booze at the end of season pissup, it will be held this day at the Mercury Lounge. This happens to be Grand Final day as well, so the plan is for a bit of a GOBB at the Konsole Kingdom to watch the GF, then for the other B-Boys to be on the receiving end of a thrashing dished out by the UKKK at any game dare to be played. Before the ML, a possible visit to Don Dinno's Pizza joint, where the UKKK gets shouted again.
In fact, this is the third attempt to get this event happening. Two full weeks notice should not stop anyone now. This is every B-Boy's priority, and other than attending your own funeral, there is no excuse for not turning up. A particular B-Boy whose name starts with the letter Z has been the main culprit for the postponements and opted out for flimsey excuses. Last week he suddenly had to go for a drive to Sydney, but ended up in Adelaide and Mildura. The week before saw a supposed migraine cancel a pre-piss-up pizza at Don Dinno's. And last night, a supposed eye infection stopped him. What a soft-cock wowser. In fact, Simo almost pulled out too, claiming tonsilitis, yet still went to work. Since when is work more important than a B-Boy piss-up? Thankfully for him he avoided being lumped in a team with Z called Soft-Cock Wowsers and last night went ahead anyway. Turns out his illness was sort of genuine as he was gone despite not even having a chartreuse! At least Z could have shown some B-Boy spirit and made an effort.
B-Boy day is 27th June, so this weekend marks the first opportunity for the B-Boys to get smashed. No plans are concrete yet, but all B-Boys are required to keep this weekend, or at least the Friday or Saturday night, free so than can unleash themselves on the unsuspecting populace.
Bobmart 6, orginally set for early March, is now set for this date. Hopefully Bob won't be a wowser and will come to the party and not can it at the last minute. At least this time, the B-Boy Realm did ask Bob before hand, so there should be no excuse.
With Bobmart 5 setting new standards for B-Boy gaming and mayhem, the anxious news for dates of Bobmart 6 have been announced. This the Labour Day long weekend which means three full days of madness. Whilst the F1 GP is on the same time, this will only enhance Bobmart 6 - it will play curtain raiser to Bobmart. These dates are attentitive, because as yet, no one has asked Bob! But then, that never stopped the B-Boys before.
[As it turned out, Bob failed to come to the party and Bobmart 6 never took place]
Unlike the dissappointing Bobmart 4, hopefully Fatboy will not be invited and hopefully the much antipcated Quake 3 death match will take place if the PC Peons can get the network happening. With Royboy turning up, that should be no problem. Z and the UKKK have just become FPS fans with the release of Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 so it will also be interesting to see how adept their skills are after such a short period of time.
Thanks again to the masterful organisational skills of the UKKK, those lucky B-Boys that have decided to come, will be heading to Twister2000 at The Palace (maybe it should be renamed the Princess Peachie Peon Palace after the Konsole Kingdom's sister site) to wreak havoc, cause mayhem and deprive all other males of a decent chick since they all will be gravitating to the B-Boys. Those B-Boys that will be attending are the UKKK,. Rooster, Bob and Z. Visitors to the B-Boy Realm who want to party with the B-Boys will be able to pick them out easily: just look for four guys with three of them having a gazillion chicks hanging off them, and the other, a dopey looking mofo that wears glasses. Royboy - regular B-Boy party animal - will be going crazy in his home town of Geelong, whilst other B-Boys and Kandy Arse Boys like The Croat, Pappsmear and Geraldine, well, who gives a stuff.
With most B-Boys fans of the real football code, the world's best ever nation will be
in Australia to take on our very best in a two-match series. An email has just been
sent out to ascertain those interested, and whilst the prices are on the high side, the
usual suspects in the UKKK, Bob and RoyBoy will most likely be attending.
UPDATE: Response from this email was good as those three, plus Z, will be attending.
Naturally the B-Boy organiser that is the UKKK did his niceties once again and got the
tickets. Can't wait.
For the second year in the succession, and the 23rd for the UKKK, the B-Boys will go to the MC. Latest B-Boy Realm recruit - Pappsmear - plans to go, providing he can get away from his taxi driving. Early tip: Inaflurry. Caulfield Cup place getters always do well, and nothing else was really running on that day. Her query maybe the distance. But CC winner Sky Heights is an out and out stayer. Look for him too. For the imports, Kayf Tara is the obvious standout, especially since this MC seems light on class. With the intermittent rain, the ground will not be too hard either - a problem that has curtailed many imports recently. The whole situation seems very reminiscent of 1993 with Vintage Crop. Kayf Tara also has winning form over the distance, with defeats over most of his travel mates. This Saturday, however, Inaflurry for the Cox Plate, with Sunline the danger. (Sunline ended up winning - Ed)
The B-Boys will be off to see this Shark film this Sunday at the UKKK's request.
Prior to that, and since it is almost cricket season, will be a bit of kick-to-kick with
the UKKK's new footy.
UPDATE: That seems to be Monday now.
This hybrid of Australian and Gaelic Rules football produced one of the most games of any football codes when the two teams met last year in Ireland. Australia fought back in the last quarter to sneak home by one point, but in the second game, Ireland managed to keep the larger and more aggressive Australians at bay. This year, the first game will be in Melbourne at the MCG, so most the B-Boys will check out this weird game live. The second game will be in Adelaide.
The newest entrant to the Realm, Pappsmear, will be holding his very own Smearmart this day. Yeah, sure, the GF involving North Melbourne and Carlton is big, but not compared to the Smash Tennis War between his own team of Team Pappsmear (usually with the UKKK) against the Totally Redundant Greek Empire of Z and Bob. They initially had the wood over Team PS, but the tide turned last meeting and they will be primed for revenge.
Not an official B-Boy event yet, but could turn out to be one. The UKKK, Bob and
RoyBoy are starters, but more may follow, especially when the excitement builds as the
match approaches.
UPDATE: No more B-Boys will be attending as tickets have been acquired and no more $60
seats are available. It will be interesting to see who Bosnich lines up for after
the recent ManU signing.
The first B-Boy day in the 27th and will be preceded by a B-Boy intoxication session to count it in. As a test event for the year 2000 count-down, it is a must. Problem is, it may be so huge that the B-Boys may not even recover in time for 2000. So what, they know what they're doing.
The anniversary of the very first Bobmart Carnegie Tour. Unfortunately Quake3 has been delayed, but all the old favourites will be there, including Bob.
With all tickets sold-out for the first weekend of the PM, the B-Boys first viewing will Sunday 13 June at 10.30pm at Southland's Gold Cinema. A great date for Bobmart, but unfortunately it throws a spanner in the work as far as the piss session at the Casino goes. A Sunday night piss-up may still be on as clubs should still be rocking considering the next day is a public holiday. Failing that, a Friday or Saturday piss-up may be in-store as preparation for the big event.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Tickets are not sold-out and the B-Boys will indeed be seeing PM the minute it is out, but will also see it again (obviously) to make Bobmart 3 the best Bobmart ever.
The B-Boys plan to see the movie as soon as possible, and that would be 0001 hours, Thursday 3 June at the Casino's Cinemas. Preceding that will be general B-Boy mayhem in and about the Casino and the city of Melbourne. After the experience of a lifetime, getting trashed in one of the Casino's nightclubs is next. Providing no one dies, a B-Boy breakfast will take place at the first day session of the movie. Are the B-Boys Star Wars fans? Well, does Dolly Parton sleep on her back?
After much consternation, and bullshit from Z saying ALL tickets were sold everywhere for the first weekend, the B-Boys (well, at least all the Planet B-Boys - that's another sad story to be told later on) will see PM at Chadstone Cinemas at 0001 hours, 3 June 99. Mayhem may still be able to reigned upon some helpless victims in the vicinity and an after-film piss-up may still be on at the Casino depending on the B-Boys' emotional state. Next day, the 3rd will also see the release of Episode 1: Racer for the BBs' to re-live some of the film personally, and then, who knows? Maybe another viewing that day.
Rooster has finally discovered one of the joys of the South/Port area that the UKKK had the pleasure of for 20 years. A visit by all the B-Boys is due. Failing that, Jerrycan and Pappasmear want to meet the B-Boys so they can personally hand shit on them instead of just via email. Z is planning to meet at Don Dinno's Pizza in Albert Park so these two events may be incorporated to create (YET) another B-Boy extravaganza of bibilical proportions. Yeah!
