When entering primrose you will turn left into the parking lot of the plaza, drive further down the parking lot till you see the NE1 LAN it is also near Lifes a Stitch so if you see that then you might as well just park.

There are a few places nearby for food but I recommend driving down Nolana because this is the main restuarant strip in McAllen you got all the badass restuarants down this road. But there is a Dairy Queen and a Whataburger near by.

**Taken from a post I made on second page:
The secret game is…
NFL Blitz 2000 for N64. Yes betting will go hard for this (I will be side betting like crazy for this). Only 8 players will be chosen to a winner take all single elimination bracket (no crying this is a mans game lol, this game makes me cry sometimes though :sad:). I know $20 is steep but with a few backers at a few bucks a piece it can easily be made, hell I’ll back a person or 2 if I have faith in them. Thats $160 for the winner!!!

If you would like a shot at being in this tournament please post up (remember it is very easy to get people to help you pay for it if you don’t wanna fork all if it out yourself). If you would like to nominate someone post up.**

While yall battle at the border for 2nd and 3rd San Antonio Should Take 1st Lol:rofl: Just starting to pump it up Nah But We Be There

so like is 3S just being forgotten? Who still plays HDremix?

3S fell off the face of the earth way down south, nobody except like 3 people play it still tournament wise. I’m debating on putting it in but I got a gut feeling it would end up like GGAC last year, more out of towners then players from here entered and it barely filled a bracket. But I don’t know I’ll have to see more interest in 3S, hey we still got over 2 months so games can still be added.

Last year I ran 9 games and somehow finished before 11PM. I think I can still sneak in a game. The secret invitational will only have 8 players yes 8 so it shouldn’t get in the way of anything, so that frees up a spot.

On a random note the Secret Game is NOT a fighter. But I do expect it to get a lot of side betting. I’ll let it toy with you all for a little while.

-DJ-

:tup: 360. good for me if I don’t have my stick dual modded by the time this rolls around.

everybody retired 3s cause they cant beat me

I can beat J.D if you tie his hands behind his back and force him to play with left foot with a disabled Jab, Fierce, Low, Short, and RH while blind folded. :looney:

-DJ-

ill be there for SFIV mainly, prob BB, hate HDr and dont play the others… ST sidetournament? :lovin:

If there are enough setups, people will be allowed to run there own side tournaments if they would like. I’ll get back to you all on this once I get a rough estimate on how many setups we will have.

-DJ-

I’m taking first for Tekken this year xD :razzy:
Damn, its only gona be out for like ten days before the tourney lol And i only got like 2 days gameplay expierence at UFO

boo that its on 360 again. garbage… really i am disapointed that its on this system…:lame:

can the secret game be fat princess on ps3…

It’s the only system we have an abundent supply of that and 90% of our players own 360 equipment then PS3 equipment.

I wish it was Fat Princess. That game is fucking awesome even my girlfriend likes it.

-DJ-

as much as i dislike the 360 over the ps3 (fanboy) when it comes to tourneys Id have to side to xbox. only because of how big the user base is compared to ps3. wish it was the other way around.

Secret game should be KOFXII fo sho

Update:

$100 Pot Bonus added for Brawl. DanEG and I are currently working on more pot bonuses for other games so we will keep you informed.

TMNT: Tournament Fighters added to side game line up.

-DJ-

Is the secret game puzzle fighter?

Nope I wish though. If you got it downloaded on PS3 I’ll game with you on some PF.

-DJ-

secret game should be guilty gear or cvs2

lol you should just choose the secret game yourself if you like all the suggestions people are throwing out.

Or have a second secret game :looney:
