Calgary Thread 2012

Holy shit kotk was a fucked up movie. Steve weebie got screwwwwwed over. Kind of creepy all of the people blindly following and/or directly executing billys insanity throughout. I also read that they edited it to put billy in a better light because otherwise the movie would have been too “dark” lol

And seeing video game enthusiasts from the 80s, it’s really no surprise that the older generation would think games are for nerds. Some of those dudes are…something else. If those guys were the only people that played games now I sure wouldnt be playing

You gain exp for your summoner level (That would be you yourself)
Every game your champion starts at level 1

Japan sure is weird.

boobs. i mean, yeah. japan is boobs. erm, weird.

hey guys don’t forget that this Sunday is Dicken’s Pub gaming day
BYOC - Canada Cup won’t be bringing setups this time (too much f’ng around hauling gear).

I’ll bring at least one!

Hopefully I’ll be getting my new laptop today then I can put AE on it. eaaaasy setup. http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX35851

Does anyone know if steam released the 2012 patch yet for PC ?

I like the super-phallic snake necklace, myself. Namco is gettin’ all my moneys.

congrats man. if you end up not enjoying the job, Suncor is looking for supply chain people again. so you could put in a resume here and see how that turns out for ya.

if you are down, you could come over tonight Daniel. I wanted to have a couple guys over to play some KoF. we could play SF if you ask really nicely haha

Keep in mind while watching that movie that the narrative comes almost exclusively from the editing. This is true of a lot of documentaries (people like watching a progression of events i.e. a story), but it is a little over the top in TKOK. Everything is very embellished through this narrative structure in order to develop that good guy versus bad guy thing that everyone wants to see. Not saying it isn’t a good movie, but you should take everything you see with a grain of salt. There has been a lot of dispute over some things being completely falsified in the film like where they break into the garage. I mean I don’t know all the facts but it’s definitely not as black and white as they make it out to be. Definitely a must see for all us nerds though, it’s a really entertaining movie, and with regards to the subject matter I don’t really care that it’s sort of a made up narrative, because of how entertaining I found it.

Also, I’m not sure about them portraying Billy in a better light. I’d definitely argue that they made him look worse overall. He is definitely not a nice guy, but they don’t even really give his side of the story, and that’s just on a superficial level.

Sure Cody. Thx for the heads-up.

I’m willing to get bodied in kof and learn how to play this game.

YO i am down for kof.

aight I shot you guys a PM with my address. I figure I’ll be ready to go at around 8

Is anyone doing anything during the day? I got out of school early and am now bored as hell at home.

I’m sitting around the house watching not geo and drinking coffee lol

Woot one of the guy I work with is giving me a Free 36" Sony HD CRT woot. hes got two I might just grab both. I still regret selling my 30inch HDcrt when I got my LCD( I didnt know about TV lag and such at the time).

this video was really sick

Glad i’m not the only one that saw that as a (reverse) golden titty fuck :sunglasses:
I won’t touch that game but that poster sold my gf on buying it haha

Add me shadowsbk9. And yes you gain all the xp in the game, but it takes time to get to 6300 to unlock new char, during 5v5 or 3v3 u defeat the enemies and destroy there turrets and take down there central nexus, and there are " jungle monsters" where u can kill and get more gold, the game is sick if u pay attention to your team and work as a team to merk dem fools! But no shoryukens not yet haha

I enjoyed LOL when I played it but im probably rusty as fuck and I wasnt amazing at it in the first place.

Dude… watch Chasing Ghosts. It’s more about all the nerds and the history than the whole King of Kong story.

The nerds in KoK are pretty cool and hip compared to how they seem in Chasing Ghosts.

I think it’s an awesome movie… Better than KoK even (in a different, not badguy vs goodguy way)

Speaking of ultranerds;
Ulilililia is getting a documentary made.

[media=youtube]G9crDjdIqZo[/media]

Story behind this guy is he’s a math genius with crippling OCD. He wrote a book (a hilarious one), is making a game, posts guides on gamefaqs (that are hopelessly convoluted), has some brutal LP’s on youtube, and is terrified of mirrors.

Ulilililia only eats cheese pizza and is terrified of bodies of water. he is also obsessed with flying. by all accounts he seems like a very nice fellow.
