Armando, aka Angelic, tends to host gatherings on Wednesday nights.
Good read, Nick! And check this lil’ beauty out from watson in that very same thread…MLF | SaBr3!!
Rofl rich. I remember that post.
What a fun tourney that was
I dont remember that tourney at all, must have been one of the ones i missed after my son was born, i took a break from the FGC.
although, “the great drought” sure didnt help any. capcom forced us all to play the same damn games for almost a decade.
Does anyone ever host on Tuesdays or Thursdays? :o
Oh thank god - I won’t be the only SG player in all Arizona!
I hope you have an xbox, I’m gonna play the living hell out of this game.
So, going back to this whole LI Joe thing, I was wondering if Robb or someone deeply involved with Devastation could shed some light on their recent involvement with Centerfolds and how this pairing came about, and whether Robb/Devastation felt that this might hurt them or cause a negative stigma towards Devastation somewhere down the line (as this seems to be what most nay-sayers are worried about). While the situation is not exactly the same, it still has to do with who you do business with, and whether or not you think it will affect your other sponsors/business partners. I can’t imagine Dev banning a BRZ sponsored player, but I could be wrong?
I sure do! Feel free to send me a FR
GT: howmuchkeefe
Look forward to playing ya!
Well, I’ll let Robb share the details if he wants.
But, first off, aside from Devastations name, this has nothing to do with fighting games. We have run Madden 12 and MW3 only. I would also like to point out, that the side of the club we use, is actually closed on Sundays. We are the only ones in there besides the bartender who can only sell soda, granted there is a full titty bar with alcohol that IS open on the other side, but that’s separate. Now, sometimes a girl or two wanders over and “works” , but its not like there are girls around the whole time, you will see more girls in the smoking area than you will on our side, full of gaming nerds who would rather stare at a screen. (side story: during the madden tourney, near the finals, somebody paid one of the girls 10 bucks to distract an opponent so he lost, the guy had a girl on his lap, and he didnt even look at her, started right at the screen the whole time…FAIL)
And since when doesn’t football, titties and BEER not mix? Seems natural, anywhoo it started with madden and KUPD, and they loved it so much they wanted us to come back. and the people that went loved it so much, they wanted to do it again, not too mention from my standpoint, it was a fucking blast to work.
I should hope it would be viewed as nothing more than a pretty sweet venue. Everybody there is an adult and above 18 (they card) and know where its located before going. I’ve got nothing but support and “man this is awesome” “best tournament ever” “when is the next one?” from everybody who has attended, and “awww man, i missed that!” or “why didn’t you tell me!” from people who didnt go.
And, as far as devastations name goes, I think a big difference is that the brazzers thing is much more public. I would think only local people in AZ know about the association, or those who frequent Robbs facebook page. Also, were not sponsoring the event, were just running it. It is promoted by centerfolds, and the prizes come from centerfolds, we just set up and run it.
I’m sure at some point Robb will chime in and offer is view, those are just some points i wanted to share, since only 2 active members of the FGC have attended, I’m sure people have all sorts of misconceptions about it.

[LEFT]Ah media attention whoring at it’s finest. Sounds so bad when you read the article. Sometimes laws need to be updated to reflect the current times, and this bill brings the same penalties that already exist for harrassing someone over the p[/LEFT][LEFT]hone, to the computer. I love how all the objective journalists don’t talk about the fact that this law has been around for years, and all it’s doing is changing the physical media it reflects. Did you know it’s already illegal to “terrify, intimidate, threaten, harass, annoy or offend people”?
13-2916 Use Of Telephone To Terrify, Intimidate, Threaten, Harass, Annoy Or Offend
A. It is unlawful for any person, with intent to terrify, intimidate, threaten, harass, annoy or offend, to use a telephone and use any obscene, lewd or profane language or suggest any lewd or lascivious act, or threaten to inflict physical harm to the person or property of any person. It is also unlawful to otherwise disturb by repeated anonymous telephone calls the peace, quiet or right of privacy of any person at the place where the telephone call or calls were received.
B. Any offense committed by use of a telephone as set forth in this section is deemed to have been committed at either the place where the telephone call or calls originated or at the place where the telephone call or calls were received.
C. Any person who violates this section is guilty of a class 1 misdemeanor
Now read the actual bill in question, IN FULL. You’ll notice all they ddi was take the law on the books already, and apply it to digital media.

I’m so sick of the “objective journalists” that have become nothing more than activists.
It’s not vague, it’s specific. You’re not allowed by law to harrass, annoy, terrify, intimidate, threaten, or offend people by any delivery. This SHOULD exist. If things have gotten bad enough that someone calls the cops, the cops will tell you to stop. If you don’t stop, it becomes a civil matter. This is the way it is, and how it should be.
It’s a subjective matter. If you message me and say “I’m gonna kill you.” because I disagree with a comment you make, I’m gonna just be like “YES TROLLED!” But if you say the same thing to a girl on your friends list, especially if you don’t know her well, that could seriously make her fear for her life. Because it’s subjective, there’s no way to make it any more specific than it already is. Tell me how YOU would write that law. I figure it would have to look something like this:
You cannot say “I am gonna kill you” unless you don’t really mean it. And if you say you don’t really mean it, you have to prove it.
And so on.
A judge wouldn’t see this, unless it became a civil matter. There’s quite a few steps inbetween you’d be missing. If I tell you a joke, and you are offended by it, in person, you can’t have me arrested. Remember that while this specific bill doesn’t specify this, it is still subject to the other laws already in place. Let’s say you were black. Some white supremicist sends you a joke over the internet that says “So two N*s walk into a bar.”. You wouldn’t be able to get him arrested in person, or over the internet, because a crime hasn’t been committed. Even if he came up to you and said “I want to punch you because you’re black.” you can’t have him arrested, and put in front of a judge. Now you CAN call the police if you feel threatened, but all the police have the legal right to do is make sure the two of you are separated, and at that point it becomes a civil matter.
Now you WILL have the right to get a restraining order from this white supremicist, and if he continues in ANY fashion, at that point you will have the ability to do something legally. But it’s not the way you’re thinking it is, at all. The laws that govern in person exchanges will still apply to these laws that cover online/telephone exchanges. The bottom line is, you can’t have someone arrested for something like this, in person or over digital media.[/LEFT]
