Columbia, MO 2008: We Post More Than We Play

Gentlemen, the hotel is booked for FRXI, if you are coming hollar at me, total cost is 380 bones for thursday thru sunday, if we get 6 people in ther that’s only 65 bucks a head. speak up soon, don’t wanna cram the thing too full. So far confirmed are Myself, sam and aaron.

you guys are going to frxi?

YES YESS!! BET IT!! (cartman/marn voice)

If you reconsider I’m heading down Saturday & coming back early Sunday afternoon if you need a ride

yea ive never been and theres no MW challenge this year since george is a lazy black man (woo fedd bait). So i will be there for sure, yosh we should hang out and make many dick and fart jokes.

Wow, I didn’t know that. All the more reason to hit FRXI I guess.

dat frxi, dat penis and fat jokes, dat andrew’s beautiful long hair. get hype! get money! dat frxi y’all!!

so, after a week of back pain stemming from work… now my eyes are beginning to hurt. who wants to walk over my back, then pour boiling water on my face?

Yo, Tanizaki has some stories about that and all I’m saying is it’s not a good look

Dude died before he could earn a Nobel

I’ll be curious to see if andrew and yosh shit themselves at the more lean version of Travis, fuckin omaha dudes were going nuts all weekend at n-cubed.

that is for real. Travis hella slimmed down. Also, I got to check flight numbers and make sure I can take off work, but I think I’m heading to this instead of Trashday. Also need to try and take off Feb 4. Damn a lot of days to take off coming up :bgrin:

I have FR weekend off, not sure what I’m going to do about housing though. Plane tickets shouldn’t be an issue as long as my W-2s come in soon…

I plan on buying a SFAC stick because I kind of want to get a new stick, and my friends get mad that they have to play on pad and I get my Namco stick, and I was wondering if anyone has ever seen this thing: http://arcademx.com/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=158

Believe it or not, I think I have and if it’s what I’m thinking of you probably want to stay away from it. Namco sticks are really nice, I don’t really know of anything else that’s as good… if you’re used to playing with the stick in your lap and not on some kind of flat surface in front of you like a table or chair, I’d stay away from the SFAC stick too. The thing is enormous and bulky. I think Josh can vouch for me here :stuck_out_tongue:

My favorite stock stick is the HRAP1, but they’re so expensive… and both of mine are broken again :confused: I need to put in yet another order for buttons.

i feel mixed about namco stick. they are niec size, and durable as hell… but definitely a lot less responsive (both the stick and buttons) compared to hrap. and it’s really tough to feel the edges on whatever restrictor they have in there. it just feels “mushy”.

Oh yeah, I totally agree. But compared to pretty much everything else sub-HRAP I think it’s better. The only other small Hori stick I like better is the Soul Calibur 2, and those are basically all cashed by now…

As posted in the kc thread i have been traveling alot lately and am thinking of making a trip to columbia for a night and KC for a night.

Im realy down to learn Guilty/3s/Arcana which i bet some of you could help with. Plus some more casual ST.

Do you guys play smash? One more game i need to learn.

Arcana never really took off here because I’m the only anime dork :confused: I’ve never played another human being at it

Anyway I’m down for 3S/GG/ST, but you probably knew that already. I don’t know if anyone plays Smash…

Some random thoughts leading up to my return to CoMo in two weeks here before i go to work.

  1. What are the odds of us getting some of this footage recorded? If there is one thing that would help me out immensely it would be being able to rewatch my stupidity over and over and learning how to correct it. I’ve never had more than one or two matches from any given tourney get recorded, and it doesn’t make for much of a sample size.

  2. I need you guys to be ON MY ASS constantly about staying in a good mood and not getting discouraged. This is step one in my attempt to make a final run at a real finish at Evo. It’s also my first real gathering since all the bullshit that kept me mopey and not posting on here threw me for a loop. Don’t let me be a whiney ass at all, criticize my play, give commentary and ideas on how to make me improve, but don’t let me sit there and get pissy when I inevitably get a 10 streak dropped on my dome.

  3. Anything you guys want me to bring? Extra Tv, system, game, good booze?

  4. It’s 4 hours on the fucking cold ass roads of southern iowa and missouri for me to get there. So if one of you motherfuckers doesn’t come out and see me i will hunt you down and squick you.

Later fools.

Okay, right now I have an Namco and SFAC Pad, thinking of getting a SFAC stick that is at a local store, or trying to get lucky off of a good stick on ebay.

Is there a way you can test the SFAC stick out before you commit? Some people really like those, so maybe it’d be fine for you.

And yeah, Travis, I can at least videotape the matches for you.

Apparently Silverfighter lives in Columbia now, he must not have Internet access on the regular or he’d probably have posted here by now but yeah +1 people

Cool Andrew thanks. If nothing else i can just bring a cd and burn everything so you don’t have to worry about encoding and posting on youtube or any of that garbage.
