Charleston, SC: Hustle... Hustle... Hustle... Hard

RevOlution told me that he might host, he is thinking about it. TheHurricane told me that he’s not hosting today. I just bought a new laptop (G74SX), so I may not come out. I might just stay home and install all the programs I need on it (antivirus, office, etc.)…

I might host on July 4th or 6th, whichever is more convenient for everybody else (unless I end up having plans for the 4th >.>)

Is there any place like a pc cafe were we can host casuals

I vote for July 6th, just in case I have plans for the 4th. haha

As far as I know, there is not a PC Cafe down here in Charleston.

Most colleges have a lounge area where usually there exists a TV and a bunch of chairs around it. But, the problem with this idea, is that you might have to be a student to use this lounge. I know that CSU has a lounge, because I graduated there. And, yes, you needed a student ID card to get inside the building that had the lounge. It shouldn’t be too hard to make a fake school ID though…lol. Just kidding, don’t do that. :wink:

What if we all pitched in and rented a hotel room just to game? Naw, bad idea because the rooms are way too small in places like Motel 6, La Quinta Inn, etc. and there is not a lot of chairs. Everybody would be compacted in the hotel room like sardines in a can.

Does anybody have any intel on what the military bases have, as far as recreational facilities, where there exists a ton of TVs and game systems? Only problem with this idea (if even such a place exists here in SC; I know there was one in Norfolk, Virginia’s base), is that you might have to be in the military to use such facilities. lol…sucks ass big time…but, it’s also possible that you can bring a guest with you. It depends on the policy of the command.

Another idea is community centers. Whatever happened to the old Goose Creek Community Center, where people played video games, board games, and other games in? That would be a good spot. I should ask Steve Kaufman about it, since he lives close to it. He might know something. Another idea is to rent rooms in the new Goose Creek Rec Center (http://www.goosecreekrecreation.com/FORMS/party.pdf), but the prices are steep. Most of the recreational facilities around here seem to cater to people who like to do outdoor activities. I googled Summerville’s, Goose Creek’s, and Hanahan’s Rec centers–they seem to cater to people who enjoy physical activities and outdoorsy type of activities. But, I didn’t find anything about playing games inside a building, unfortunately.

The old places (Green Dragon, that anime store that icege found a long time ago)…what was the status of them again?

In other news, AE is coming out on PC. And, yes, I will have it soon.

I’m in the military, though I’m not sure what facilities might be available on the Naval Station or AFB. I’m also willing to host some nights.

I went by the Green Dragon like about 3 to 4 months ago. The guy there said that we had issues of tables breaking from along time ago. I think Josh tried to pay them back for it then Chi ruined it by saying there assholes and fuck u.

Dr. Faust: Most of the time We ussually game at my place 2 times a week and Shinjuvi. Once a month Icege host’s at his beach house. Besides Icege place everyone else is in Goose Creek. I dont know if u have a car but we live like 15 to 20 mins where u live. And everyone lives in the Goose Creek area.

Hey Dr. Faust. I sent you PM but you never replied. I sent you some info so maybe we can get some casuals going on sometime. I think you said you live close to West Ashely High School, and I live close to that school too.

Green Dragon was extremely unprofessional. I would register the room for us weeks in advance, and it seemed that almost every week they were “surprised” that we showed up. I also had to pay for new chairs and tables because Ben (big, loud Ben) broke them and he wasn’t even part of our group. I also had to pay for torn card tables which they swore the TVs did. Even after replacing these things, they still said we were too loud (when people playing AD&D next to us were 100x louder) and never seemed comfortable with saying yes.

The last tournament I ran there I booked the room 2 weeks in advance with nobody scheduled for that weekend. When we got there, they had erased us from the board and put up Warhammer instead. We got shuttled to a small back area with one large table. After talking to Beowulf, he told me that the owner, Scott, did not consider video games a hobby because they didn’t require “imagination” or some other hokey nonsense.

I can sum up my feelings towards the Green Dragon in two words. The first one starts with “F” and ends with “uck them!”

I live over by west ashley high school also, but it seems like all the action is up in goose creek. I’ve been making the drive from west ashley to goose creek, so if anyone in the west ashley area want to carpool, contact me at (206-779-5383).

It’s about a 30 min drive for me (probably because i’m new to the area the i plan my route from I-26 lol, probably not the quickest way), but all the game nights that i’ve gone to so far have been very fun and worth the drive.

Big, loud Ben gets so mad when I beat him in MvC2 in the arcade. Lol. He’s one of the saltiest losers, EVER. And, when you said that Scott did not consider video games a hobby because they didn’t require imagination…that made me laugh. ha ha. If I was him, I’d say why does it matter as long as I’m getting money from people using my electricity and place?

I emailed the Carolina Ice Palace for pricing information to rent out rooms for parties. I told them that I was thinking about hosting a “video game party” lol. I asked about the Penalty Box because the place already has 9 TV’s in there according to there online brochure. I’m still waiting on them to reply, but, if it isn’t too expensive, I say we should split up the cost and play in there sometime. They even have a bar there! Not that I drink often (anymore, anyways).

I’m sorry I’ve been busy but I don’t have a ps3 stick only a 360 stick, at least until B15 finishes my stick

I leave near west ashly

I live near West Ashley High also. I will try to keep in touch and see what days any of us can get together and play some games.

Okay let me know if your stick works well after it’s dual modded. We could use my ps3 if we ever meet up .
