Columbia, MO 2008: We Post More Than We Play

What he means is that he looks like a mountain man. Seriously I think Josh didn’t shave for a week and now he’s just too lazy to shave the whole thing off:lovin:

i was hella jealous when i heared you fucks were playin games. I wanna get some venom level ups so bad. I seriously need to get out more. You guys need to come up here too we got uhhhh…corn and cows? I mean sweet corn and steaks…yea!

Andrew - I didn’t shave for 2 weeks, then I cleaned it up a little, too bad I still look homeless:woot: How’s life away from home? now that sf4 is officially out, are you gonna go check it out and let us all know how bad it sucks? Aaron said rufus is broke.

good shit to all I played, I really want some more games against Paul and Andy in gear tonight. sorry about the kidney/rib shot Shohaib, but that mosquito was the size of your head.

Don’t worry bout the money Paul, I think you’ve bought me a few beers here and there, and I don’t think I used that many parts on your stick. BTW the flex tubing is slipping off the cord near the base. I’ll gladly fix that for 8,000 dollars:wgrin:

So what’s a beard alien?

I’m glad I got turned on to Accent Core - I’m really enjoying playing with Zappa. But I can feel my reflexes slowing with age. Maybe that’s why I’ve gravitated to 3D fighting games over the years.

Say, are people still playing Neo Geo Battle Colosseum? I picked that up cheap last weekend. It’s not too bad.

I’ll do that for him:woot: The graphics looked like ass on the cabs they put it in, all jagged and aliased. The animation is pretty damn fluid but I’m not really a fan of the new look. The new gill clone is fucking annoying to boot. I was hoping Ryu’s desperation super would be something cool but instead it’s just a second fireball super.

It’s a pretty solid game but doesn’t have much of a following (along with any SNK game really) here. Although if some of the Stl guysAaron, Steve, Robare in town we’ve been known to play it from time to time

Paul, Andrew - have you seen this?

Wow.

So Fubar and Shogo are both opening arcades soon. Man, I hate Columbia.

I’m going to be around this weekend. If anyone wants to play, let me know.

I may want to play Sunday night when I get back into town. I’ll post up if that’s happening

I may not be able to travel much this weekend (budget proposal…I really have to stop taking work home), but my place is open if anyone wants to stop by. Just message me in advance - I check often.

Josh - Any chance we can play on the supergun soon? I haven’t played true arcade 3s in a long time.

edit: is there really a cabinet in Jeff City? Does anyone play there?

I was driving up to Kansas City the other day…there was a big ass strip club with an arcade in it it said lol didn’t go in cause there is prolly a cover and i bet the only have like Big Mother Trucker and a half broke ms pac man…jw, has anyone ever been there? lol, what games do they have?

There’s an arcade in the mall called Aladin’s Castle that has Soul Calibur 3 and Tekkan 5. Unfortunately, I don’t know if a lot of people play there.

I saw a 3s machine sitting in the local Slackers, but it wasn’t running, so I don’t know what kind of condition it’s in.

is it just me or is soul calibur 4 really laggy on ps3? people who spam kilik claim to be good, rofl. tekken dr online seems so much better than sc4 online.

I’ve got friends on both networks, so I’ve been switching back and forth between the PS3 and 360 versions. I haven’t really seen a difference as far as network quality during fights. The 360 seems faster when it comes to matchmaking connections, though.

Certain characters definitely have an advantage online when you factor in the lag. I usually play Astaroth (and Ashlotte on occasion), so I’m doubly screwed. Amy or the Greek sisters can pretty much shut me down. It’s frustrating not being able to reliably sidestep, parry or block quick lows on reaction - I basically have to plan out all my actions half a second in advance, which makes a huge difference. Although Asta’s new stomp into air grab always puts a smile on my face.

Playing last night, the mix was about 1/3 Cervantes, 1/3 Killik, 1/3 Mitsu, and a sprinkling of Apprentice here and there. I did fight one really good Hilde; it’s cool to see people getting good with her so quickly. 4 bars on the ping meter is the absolute minimum for a decent fight; anything less and you can almost eat a sandwich in the time it takes for you to see action after a button press. It’s honestly better than I expected, but it takes some getting used to. The worst part is, when I’m playing locally I find myself having to unlearn all the habits I’ve adapted for playing online. More than once I’ve caught myself buffering parries a half second before I think they’ll hit.

My gamertags are right over there on the left. Feel free to add me, and let’s get some games on.

word up to that!!! I tried out GGPO the other day. Cool, but not as cool as i thought it was gonna be. Just let me know when is good for u (and shekeib?) , and if anyone else wants some 3s on the gun, please don’t hesitate to ask:bgrin:

also, I bought a tennis racquet, and we’ve gone out to play twice now. I suck, but man am I hooked. I need some pointers on my serve… so I don’t get served haHA!:shake:

Probably some midget porn slot machine or some shit like that.

Also, SCIV wounds my pride. If you see me hosting a game, feel free to join in so we can cuss at the TV together.

Would anyone here be interested in Kendo? my kendo club from KC wants to get together with the kendo club in STL and do a demo in Columbia. It would be free of charge and you would not be obligated to join a gym. Just come down and check it out. If so, send me a PM or post up here and ill get back to you when we find a venue.

and we can play some games afterwords :slight_smile:

With all the talk of SCIV, that reminds me, that when me and my sister stopped by Brady Commons, my SCII character is ranked 6th on the team that I’m on in conquest mode.

I also feel left out for SCIV, I don’t have a 360 or PS3. xD

sorry for just disappearing guys but i had to move for school. keep it real
