Chicago: More Popular Than Porn ... The Legend Continues

GW tonight!! Be there, or be square!

I’m pretty much sprinting there after work. Metaphorically of course. Hope to get there around 530 or so. Hopefully. Come beat up on me!

I just pm’d him. Hopefully we can work something out soon so you guys can have flyers out for random people in the next week or so.

Also ari loves sf4 and if you talk shit about it he burns kittens. Real talk.

mirc instructions posted, mibbit link given… mibbit is a convenient work work-around, since its just another tab on a browser

another easy way is to use firefox and download the ChatZilla add-on.

once d/l’ed and installed do the following:

open firefox
open chatzilla
click on the word efnet
type “/join #srkchicago” (without the quotes of course)

it’ll prolly ask you to choose a handle or whatever too before that.

also, lol at people getting upset over being called out for spamming. i remember when i mentioned the same thing months ago people were like, ‘whats your problem? are you against having an active community?’ obviously thats not the case. i rarely point out join dates, but in this case… 09’ers are going to know less about how, what, and why this forum and these threads work than people that have been here longer.

and if youre looking for off-topic, then thats general discussion… where they talk about non-fg related stuffz.

the thread name and most of the thread names in general are/were the result of things, not the cause. for example, a thread called ‘chicago: we talk about shoes’ is not encouragement to talk about shoes, its poking fun at orka talking about shoes all the time.

<3 orka

ps, my comments are not orders, requests, or guidelines… theyre more observations and explanations.

People, ggs last night at GW. We stayed til close (12am). So, next Wed if people want to randomly show up anytime during the night, I’m guessing there will be people there. Glad to see Wed night at GW is still ALIVE! :slight_smile:

Haha.

Tranceaddict, what happened? You only played like 3 games and left…

Edit: Actually, I think people are not so much as upset as it is kinda sad that this thread is no longer carte blanche. I think just in the short 6-8 weeks or so, some of us had gotten use to the type of discussions (random or not) here that it’s just sad to have to discontinue some of them. As for me on response to Cracka J’s thread, I was merely pointing out what I thought was going on, it was not a complaint or me being upset or anything. As a matter of fact, there’s no need to be upset if anyone is. It is a general public thread, some guidelines to our posts is not inappropriate at all. We’re here to maintain a Chicago scene, not just for our daily browsing pleasure, so, I completely understand. (blah, this edit had gotten so long… random babble…)

Very good games last night @ GameWorks. Hope Steak 'n Shake was yummy.

G, I think your Vega skill increased ten fold last night, and you were talking about finding a new main, haha. Either way, I seek REVENGE.

Yo Guys It seems each month at chicago yall have tourneys but i seem to go at the wrong time each month do yall have any arcades with sf4 and do yall think yall gona have a tourney in december i mite be to weeks over there wi sum friends

We’ve got one location with the arcade version of the game, and that’s at the GameWorks in Schaumburg. Thursday nights are the big nights there, although Wednesday has a dedicated group as well.

As for any tournaments in December, the only one I’m aware of is Frosty Faustings, which is still being planned out.

Haha. Boris, I think it’s just on my Vega vs your Blanka. Just have to slowly figure out your Blanka weakness and prey on it, but then again, it’s your style of Blanka, probably won’t work as well with some other Blankas.

Also, I was surprised to beat tranceaddict’s Zangief, but I think that’s because he doesn’t know the match-up well, unlike Aki, who close to perfecting me on both rounds last week!! Darn you… haha…

I’m not switching the main, I’d never abandon my sexy Vega!! :slight_smile: Just want to learn another character to change things up (when I get my ps3 slim) and to beat Eric’s balrog… hehe

Chicago officially has a new Guilty Gear player! Moi.

Nives has been trying to teach me the basics and whatnot. GG is such a sweet game.

*prepares to be called a noob Sol player :slight_smile:

I was telling Carl yesterday, I tried learning Abel a few days ago, and that resulted in a massive failure. I’d like to learn someone new as well, since I simply can’t seem to figure out Ryu, or any of the shotos for that matter, in SF4.

GGs at Jerry’s last night even though I’m horible at GG and my 3s skills are scratching the surface of scrub. Good ole getting into FG’s late. I just ordered Accent Core so at least I’ll have the newest version to mess around with.
Make room for me yosh so i can redeem myself at a game i actually play :confused:
Also I just biked 10 miles in the rain because I am retarded.
Double also edit has anyone tried Trine? I sort of want to get it.

quote fixed! also you must not have heard me yell “STREET FIGHTER” at the top of my lungs on the way out the door.

Glad to hear Rich and Noah getting into GG! it feels very refreshing.

Eric (bob washington), dunno if u check this thread much now, but would like to get more sol vs potemkin against you, and also with prucha.

whose going to season’s beatings?

If you drive :wgrin:

this…
:lol::tup:

Once I get my game back to what it was, i’d love to pit my Jam against you. I’ve forgotten how to play that game, 6 months of inactivity will do that to you though.

I’m hopefully going to SB, but we’ll see about carpool situations.

Phreak : If you’re driving, I wanna tag along. :rofl: It all really depends though if I can get the time off, the same goes for Jen. Kinda grounded to local tournements.

See you guys at Gameworks tonight. Please shower before you come!

:rofl::rofl:

Does Gameworks sweat people under the age of 21 staying, or as long as I stay low key can I avoid being carded

They coming down pretty hard on the under21s. Especially on a Thursday night. So if you want, feel free to show up and beat up on me before 9. But be prepared to get carded at 9.
