Iowa: Maize of Defeat

I don’t have anything planned that weekend, Blake, so I’ll go with you if you do.

Results thread for the tourny:

Wait what?! Blake entered MK9! When did you start playing that?

This thread needs more people joining Team NOCS.

This man knows whats up.

He also knows how to haxxor HDR, why so cheaty mike!

I started to learn a bit of MK9 last week and got some basics down. I’ve decided that’s like the worst game ever though. I’m gonna try Tekken 6.

If you don’t like MK9, you probably won’t like Tekken 6. In all honesty, if I wasn’t 14 years invested into the series, I’d never play it again. I’ll probably be one of those people that thinks SFxTekken will be the best Tekken game of all time.

That shit was awesome. Considering how long I mained Vega, though, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen nearly everything hax’d about that character’s goofy-ass hitboxes. Doesn’t make that standing cross-up cl.FP from Cammy any less than the most hilarious thing ever, though.

Yay! Whenever you wanna play let me know. And I agree with Mike, if you don’t like MK, I dunno if you’ll like Tekken. A lot of Tekken players have started playing MK because it’s an easy transition, for whatever reason. I’m going to pick it up this week and give it a go. Regardless, I do want to try to scrub it up in SF, so I’ll play that with you, too. Just let me know.

Good news everyone. I got in touch with the venue and the manager finally said she’s on board witht the tourney idea. To work around M.O.K., I’m going to push my event as far back as I can (sometime in November). VGE hasn’t really gotten back as a sponsor so unless no one else steps up, I might have to fully rely on everyone to pitch in on systems and games. Finally, might not be able to feature all the games I wanted, so it just might be what’s on the PS3. Considering 3rd Strike is being re-released, that might not be a problem. Full details when everything’s finalized.

Eggers was at the 6/11 event? Why doesn’t he hang out with us anymore? Did he move and I just forgot about it?

Forgot I had some family stuff today. Can’t come to DBQ. Jay might come on his own though.

On the off chance I go by myself, what is the venue address? I’ll probably just sit at home and grind ssf4 lol, but you never know :smiley:

On the off chance that you are able to go, would you by chance pick me up? (I don’t have internet, so you’ll have to call me to say so or not)

yo klaige, get me a spot on the next gg podcast!

I had no Idea he was doing these, I’m gonna try to listen every week.

I’m just part of the idea, J1n is scheduling all the special guests. But yes i’ll be there every week hopefully giving insight and having a good time. We want to build up the community and get people playing Gear again, as well as getting everyone hype for whenever we get a new game. So if you dig gear at all definitely give a listen.

Shoot us a link.

I just felt the need to point this out, Sam Bridget is a boy. That is all

Here’s the link to episode 1 of the midnight carnival if you didn’t get to hear it the first time. http://j1n.org/GG/GuiltyPodcastEpisode1.mp3 we’ll be live every tuesday streaming on j1n’s justin.tv channel. We’re still figuring out a few technical kinks here and there so it’s not perfect but it’s a start.

If i can ever be around i’d like to get in on those gear podcasts
