Charleston SC, Prepare Yourself!

whew, I actually did some stick work today :sweat:
I went by there and they DO have them I picked up two packs.

Kevin, Im hacking a new pad for that stick. i swapped the stick and the buttons and even redid the paint job. I should be done within the hour… assuming I don’t get distracted:xeye: The other case I had for you has been routed and the top panel primed. after a few coats of black it’ll be done. I just don’t have any artwork to go inside of it

Thomas, the flaws on your case have been fixed it just needs a few more coats of paint. I would really love to put 3-4 more coats of paint and some Laquer to seal it up but I have to leave Tuesday evening. You can either get the stick unsealed on Sunday/Monday or wait until (God knows when) I come back and perfect the paint it’s up to you. Also I have countless Playstation pad for you to hack and destroy.
Hacked Analogs $30
Hacked Digitals $25
Unhacked Analog Controllers $15
Unhacked digital Controllers $10

Paul, I havent heard from ol’ boy about your artwork yet so I’m holding off on ripping into your stick until i get back

:woot:

Well, that day that I called they only had one size that I forgot which one it was, and it was not even insulated.

I ordered today online from that San Diego place. Right now I’m seeing where I can get the MDF I bought cut. I’m gonna try to follow this template:http://www.slagcoin.com/joystick/example2/box_x.jpg

For the panel, I’m gonna be using two layers of MDF: http://www.slagcoin.com/joystick/mounting_layering/top_double_routed.png

John or Luis: My XBox360 EX Hori no longer goes up or down. Everything else works (including right and left). Would one of y’all mind looking at (and possibly repairing) it? Also, I’d appreciate a price quote on what it would cost to replace the buttons and sticks with sanwa parts :slight_smile:

Mygit: I’m at CofC every MWF from 10am-11am. I’m more than down for some games when I get out. I take it your roommate and you play on 360?

Paul M: I already sent word to Myrtle Beach, Columbia, and Savannah :slight_smile:

Tournaments are at Play N’ Trade in West Ashley. It’s on HWY 61 in the same shopping center as Senor Tequila and Total Wine & Liquor. It’s across the street from Barnes & Noble.

We’ll be running a tournament at CofC in the Stern Center during the Fall semester. I tried to do that for this one, but CofC told me they wanted to do it in the Fall. If it goes well, expect more at the college!

For you guys as well as everyone else here: get the word out about these RanBats! The more people that show, the more points that you get, and the more people we get to game with!

Because of SF4, Akihabara and LL are frequently closing down since they are swamped with orders.

Akihabara’s price on Sanwa OBSF-30s is about 1.80 dollars each. Now for joysticks, the LS-32, LS-33, LS-40, JLF, and JLW in the 20s/30s. Shipping is gonna be a bit expensive because they ship from Japan. From their site:

"EMS (Express Mail Service) comes highly recommended when you want your goods as fast as possible. Parcels are fully insured, trackable over the internet and delivered within 3-5 days to most major countries.

Airmail normally arrives within 1-2 weeks and is priced significantly lower. However, keep in mind that airmail is neither insured nor trackable if your total order is below 2000g (2Kg)."

It’s about 20 dollars for the Airmail and I paid 29 for EMS. Get in touch with John and Thomas because they are trying to order some parts. http://akihabarashop.jp will open tomorrow and most likely will close again later on that day.

PS: I don’t know anything about fixing sticks. Just now I’m learning how to put a box together…

I definitely want to come to the ranbats, but I won’t be here on the 18th.

Also, are you guys gettin together this Sunday or any time next week for SF4?

For everyone that plays SF4 who would be down for a weekly get together??

I would, just let me know at least 2-3 days ahead of time and I can come down there.

Also, Paul, I heard some guy got super pissed at you at FRX for beating him with my Blanka tactics. Fuck him, hahaha.

who wants to go to the grensboro tourny tomorrow? let me know!!

Correction, my Blanka tactics:wink: But if we did weekly casuals what day would be good for you?? I am off of work every Thur, Fri, and Sat…

:tup:

Hey guys, if anyone finds a TE stick for 360 in the Charleston area…please send me a PM. For those who don’t know, many different game shops got a second shipment yesterday. I live in Columbia, and am thinking about driving to Gastonia, NC to get one since they have 2 in stock. I have friends in Charleston though, so the drive would be much more worth it if one turns up there. Thanks in advance for the help!

ah i wish you gave us a little more time ahead to know when it was going to be :confused:

Posted that on 3/30

Don’t worry though. There’s going to be at least one every month :slight_smile:

BTW JV, Shawn, Ryan, Anthony, Kevin, Thomas, Luis, Chris T, Chris X, Josh, Paul, Jerry#1, Jerry#2, ShinobiX, Justin, Matt, Chi, Rob, and anybody else that plays games, what are your schedules like weekly??

18 people total

:china:

I have off sat and sunday for the most part. Go ranbats!! I need to get a stick for PS3 usage.

That sucks. It makes the PC not a Personal Computer anymore.

But, I’m not too worried about it because they’d have to arrest almost everybody who surfs the net, for downloading songs and other stuff.

Hey Semen JRome, what’s up ? Man, I’m working on my box here and I’m kinda close to done but I was wondering if you had something I need. I left a voice message for you.

Let me know ! Thanks.

Damn Romie, that Tekken forum sucks you should know better ! Kevin needs some secret training.

And Kevin, my stick is indeed in FL My parents are gonna send that probably this week if you need the gate when you come back it should be here. You’re staying there for a week right ?

This is for you JRome: [media=youtube]r7iWYL_22TM[/media]

This is for you John:
