Calgary Thread 2016

i thought i was going to have to throw a new PCB in my old TE after it got epically slammed onto a concrete floor, just to get it working again

but even though the sides have popped off and won’t re-attach, wire looms are hanging out the gaping side holes, two corners are no longer even fully attached to the main body of the stick and some of the plastic posts that hold the thing together have cracked, the stick and buttons all work 100% flawlessly

dug stick mods S tier

still might have to put a Brooks PCB in it if I ever plan on playing GG outside my house tho cuz iirc PS4 GG doesn’t support PS3?

i don’t think so, we couldn’t get a modded or PS3 stick to work for GG last weekend on a PS4

Yeah i was looking at that board earlier today. I actually just ordered one of those Hori arcade stick mini’s so i could rip it apart and throw inside my stick for ps4 compatibility. The Brook board looks pretty great though. It has a screw terminal and a USB port so you don’t even have to solder anything.

PS4 sticks only for Xrd :frowning:

imagine if this brook PCB was available at the start of this gen, lol. i wouldn’t have had to buy those dumb cronuses

better late than never though i guess

if KI gets some traction on PC, it will help it stick around as a tournament game as well, since this seems relatively cheap and easy as an all-purpose solution for any game you’d want to play

sucks the canadian dollar is so low right now, i imagine the conversion + shipping for this kinda stinks

this is incredibly hard to do

very very hard

I’m concerned because Brooks converters no longer work as of latest ps4 patch plus $80 is pretty steep (it’s not like I need xbone support) .I’ll wait until Teyah does an input lag test on the thing and if they sort out the ps4 stuff then I’ll give it a go.

apparently brook converters broke with a recent ps4 patch but brook applied a downloadable hotfix within 24 hours, so they have a pretty good track record of fixing stuff like that

others have tested the lag and say it’s pretty flawless, but certainly i would like to see as many tests on it as possible

kinda sad we have to resort to this sort of stuff just to play games

Anyone else using Chrome getting weird errors in Youtube?

Free game featuring David Bowie.

It’s by the same guys that did Heavy Rain and some of the team that did that Until Dawn on PS4.

Just punch in Omikron for your coupon code and it will be free.

Really failing to sell the game here.

Stuff and things,

when does SF5 actually come out? I wanna play video games again before my new baby comes.

february 16th

I can understand not liking those 2 games, but Omikron tried a lot of weird shit. It’s worth a try if only to see some experimental gaming.

Trust me, it’s a lot more interesting than Heavy Rain.

i’m going to change the name of my ki guide away from “for SF4 players” (since sf5 is coming out and the guide has grown to be a lot more than just that anyway, trying not to scare people away)

but i’m kind of stuck on a name. does anyone have (serious) suggestions?

the best i have right now is “the complete killer instinct guide”, which isn’t that bad but i’m sure there are better ideas

Holy shit, has anyone seen the movie Gone Girl? I just watched it for the first time

what a fucking intense movie!

Movie should have been named bitches be cray cray.

Most accurate statement of 2016 so far

watching these SF4 tournaments feels so hollow now. what a weird feeling.

thank god for chief arino – his play throughs of old wacky japanese games will help pass the time in the absence of AGDQ.

Everest is a good movie, as is Vacaction for a laugh.

Trying to figure out which game I should clobber off my steam library next… thinking “The Evil Within” – only played about 5 hrs last time.

Omikron was actually a pretty big deal back in the day. Had to use some warez channel in IRC to get it… back on dial up… the glory days ah yes

edit: fuck am i old
