Thanks man I just got back last night at about 12:30. Costa Rica is so fun.
-first 5 days spent on the Caribbean side. Rained at Night and in the morning and was about 20-25 even when it rained. The hotel I stayed at was called banana azul and it was right on the beach which was amazing. Got a little sun burnt but not too bad. Went zip lining, atv ing, checked out out the natives make chocolate, went to a crazy ass waterfall, got a monkey climing all over me (no poop or pee thank god).
-went to the arenal volcano town called la fortuna for 3 nights / four days it was about 25-30 durning the day and 19-20 ish at night but it was hot enough that I needed a/c to sleep. Went zip lining again, then toured the jungle around volcano and got some sweet pics, went to one of the many hot springs and got food poisoning from a restaurant puked every 1 1/2 hours the same night.
-went to a place called monteverde (green mountain) for 2 nights and that place was pretty cold pretty much the entire time it was like 10-20 with a metric fuck ton of wind. Did a tour of the cloud forest and visited a coffee / sugar cane farm and learned how they harvest and make coffee. The cloud forest was a trip cause the clouds are really close to the trees and move really fast. It’s was neat but I don’t thing I’d ever make an attempt to go back.
-went to the pacific coast and stayed in a beach town called samara for 3 nights. The weather was +35 durning the day and +25-30 at night. Wish I would have got the room with a/c for 10 bucks more. The beach was pretty nice. Just ate slept and went to the beach. Spent more time at the hotel than in other places cause we didn’t have any tours booked nor did we want to and because the hotel pool was our saving grace from the crazy heat.
-spent a the last day in san hose (the capital) at a bnb in the city. Didn’t do much cause we had to wake up for about 4 to get a taxi to the airport yesterday morning. Nothing really to say about san hose other than if anyone plans to to go there and you don’t want to stick out as bad then wear jeans even if it’s +25. No one wears shorts in the city other than tourists and that’s not a lot. San hose is a dump really. Garbage everywhere and razer wire protecting homes / businesses.
-All in all Costa Rica felt really safe and no one hassles you. You pay the price for felling safe though. It’s only about 20 percent more expensive to travel around Canada in terms of eating and hotels. If you want to go to costa rica for cheap you can though. Most private hostel rooms are around 15-20 bucks american and aren’t as dirty as you’d imagine. I spent my entire trip going to higher scale places cause that’s the way Jillian planned shit out but I’m too old to backpack anyways and I wanted to just have nice mix of relaxation and fun.

haha I’m down. I haven’t played in a while so give me time to warm up a little and get some games in. ft5 $20 online sounds reasonable i’d do ft5 $50 offline only.

Oh Shiro! whoever starts these rumors is just trying to get you riled up for their entertainment. Don’t feed the trolls.

BOOM HEADSHOT. lol deathmatch againsts a bunch of pub scrubs and bots and you’re 3-D now?

lol

Damn! Calgary takes top 4 in sf. Good shit to bee for winning marvel and getting top 8 in sf. Crazy how Calgary got 6 of the top 8 slots. Good shit to my Calgary bros.

I guess 9th is decent for my first real SF tourney…

When’s the next one, Shiro? :wink:

If that happens I’ll be sad. Nothing beats playing offline. It’s kinda the way it’s been in the last few years that I’ve been around though. Basically when it rains it pours. I’ll still go to OK when I can and I’ve heard rumblings about a training session at every other Monday that I’m gonna check out if it’s still happening.

Owen got 2nd?? YEAAA BOIIII

GGs everyone. Fun weekend.

Respect.

Thanks guys for the tournament.

See you next time :slight_smile:

Wooo…lols to that Kevin guy that choked up rocket punch xx plasma storm yesterday. He’s the worst player ever.

(But my Doom TAC was still worth the price of entry.)

Oh yes, the power of the Renagade was strong that day! Only been playing this game for 3 weeks and only really been playing Steve and Dean!

I now trade in my ruby red visor for a pair of green fist!

I AM RENAGADE

-Renagade out!

I’ve played against your hulk like a month ago and it was beasting then.

Huge thanks for your hospitality Edmonton. I really enjoyed it there.

Hey guys, I’m looking to buy a Porsche, I think I’m finally ready to take the plunge.

But I don’t wanna buy new. Anyone know where I can buy a used Porsche for a good price??

move or someone host casuals on tues/thurs pls

I’ve thought about hosting but I’d only have like two setups at home. That, and my building isn’t very smoker friendly as you gotta step out to the balcony.

Why don’t you host Mel? :slight_smile:

cause i live at home with my parents and it would be weird having a whole bunch of random people come to my house. 2 setups would be nice for just like a small gathering. but still for other people to bring their setups is a hassle (ex. BPs).
