LOL! fuken troll!
i’m with foger.
REBOOT THE SCENE doods… gotta look past your grievances or grudges, whatever is holding y’all back from being a community.
didn’t you guys used to have BP’s on wednesday? what happened to that?
Honestly? “I don’t want to bring a setup” is a pretty poor excuse for letting a LAN center nickel and dime us.
I didn’t buy an Xbox so it could collect dust while I payed to play games on a different system.
BP’s was best because you could chill, eat and drink, even when not playing it was fun. At OK it is a little more stale, just gaming is boring now. There is not enough competition for that to be exciting. If we had 30+ people playing one game then it would be better.
Also there is a lot of bitterness in the community, clearly there is a divide. Unfortunately the result of that divide has some people simply stopped caring about the community, and the game.
This is a huge bummer.
This is a huge bummer.
I lol’d when I read this statement. Hopefully during reading week I can get some games in. I am not surprised by how little people showed up at OK. We should bring back WNFs at BPs. That was the best.
Edit =\
it is what it is nigga =(
ill host at my place but it sorta gonna go down hill. we can do mondays at the comic book ands games clubs just need to bring a setup and its free
I don’t even get off on Mondays until 5PM, then I have to get from U of A to Grant Mac. That leaves a little over two hours for games… >.>
We’ll figure something out, it just happened afterall.
I agree here. Loved BP’s. It was more about hanging out and having a good time than it was about video games. Anyway, I’m gonna get back into fighting games. Gonna try to learn KoF, SC5 and play SF again. Whatever scene is left, I’ll try to support it. I just moved into my new place so I can probably host games too if there’s enough interest and support.
Sad to hear that OK isn’t having us anymore but gotta thank them for having us. Yes 10 bucks is a steep price that many people do not wanna pay or simply can’t afford to. Regarding BP’s, we only left because we lined a deal up at OK and it seemed like a venue that had more of a professional appeal to newcomers and it was more convenient that no one had to bring setups. I remember someone call going to BP’s unclassy or whatever. Raiden did try to support the scene by coordinating BP’s meets but it was just too much work for one guy to do, so after he was burned out different people brought their own setups to help out. Hope to see the scene bounce back on it’s feet though.
Just a suggestion, but it would be nice to have a retro station with games like CvS2, 3S, and ST/HDR for us old farts. I don’t have the time or interest to invest in learning any new games, but I wouldn’t mind hanging out and watching people play KOF13 and SFxT for a couple hours while enoying some good food.
Sounds like people want BPs to happen again. I liked going to BPs too. I was addicted to their wings. It pissed me off when they started charging for ranch tho. A little over a Month ago a couple buddies (PJ and Randy) who I’m sure some of you know asked me to see if Nait BPs would allow them to gather twice a month on Mondays to play fighting games. At the time my sister wasn’t managing anymore but I knew the guy who was and he ended up saying yes.
They wanted it to be beginner friendly and instead of focusing on competition they wanted to zero in on getting really green players better. They thought you couldn’t really get that at OK because it was kill or be killed at the time. They were intending to do that by recording matches and having more experienced players go over the recorded matches the next week with the less experienced player and have discussions about it. They didn’t want a ranbat format or a tournament setting where the best player ending up playing the most matches.
They asked me to go this Monday so I’m going to go. I’ll probably bring a setup too. If anyone else wants to come that’s more than ok. If it gets too big then they said it will have to make adjustments like doing it every Monday. It’s not quite what drives me to get better (I like tournaments) but like I said earlier I liked the wings and beer so if I’m there and people are willing to listen to what little I have to say then so be it.
Randy and PJ don’t know I’m posting this so I apologize to those guys if it gets so big it makes it hard to stick to the original their original vision.
tl;dr Monkeys from outter space are butt fuckin asteroids for bus fare and walking anyways.
Charging for ranch? WTF
yes, since the great ranch catastrophe of 2011 food chains and restaurants alike were forced to charge for the rare condiment.
this unfortunate event has caused other franchises to suffer as well.
“because of the ranch epidemic, our company has suffered too” stated a spokesman from frank’s red hot sauce company.
“no one wants their wings to be delicious and hot - they just can’t handle the heat without something to cool them down”.
local bar patrons and salad junkies form a line outside of an emergency ranch dispensary. “WHAT WILL I FEED MY CHILDREN” screams a morbidly obese diabetic teen mother, half way from the serving window. “THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!”
Boston Pizza’s ranch sauce is the shit.
Eh I’ll go to BP’s as well. I don’t mind to bring a setup as well.
*I’m also willing to bring start going to BP’s for wednesdays if it turns out people are going,*If you got the old flyer your girl made for you shoot it my wa
I’d go to BP’s on wednesdays for sure. I always thought the biggest problem with overclocked is that is was really only a gaming atmosphere, not really room to socialize or eat at all lol.
never trust someone/something whos only intrest in you is your money. they dont care about you and will fuck you over when the money(the only thing about you for) stops flowing
Looks like I’m not quitting UMVC3. I challenged Allen to a MM and it seems like Lapchi is willing to throw down 500$ for him.
omg… im soooo wet right now!
