Iowa: Maize of Defeat

True story.

I’d be down for Blokus.

If you cant pay for video games we could always do Soggy Biscuit ranbats!

No? Dont look at me like that.

You’re a sick sunnavabitch, I’ll give ya that.

I ragequit in Soggy Biscuit. Just a heads-up.

Hey Mauser, are you guys still playing Melty? Specifically MBAACC 1.07? There’s a guy in Iowa looking for some comp…

Yes.

My graphics card couldn’t come here sooner.

Might be a total buzz kill for the Dubuque crew with this, I’m thinking of going on hiatus with Tuesday nights, got a good excuse though. Coming up at the end of March, I’m presenting my very own art show over at Loras College. I’ve been working as best as I can at making new pieces for the presentation and I feel any time I can dedicate towards working on it is time put to good use. Thing is, I’m a super procrastinator and I have the tendency to do anything non productive a lot. Therefore, in order to make better use of my time, I’m not coming to Tuesdays until April (until further notice).

One reason I see this is a big problem. Mike wants to run KOF. I like KOF. And from what I’ve seen, I might be one of 3 people in our group that actually wants to support it. So unless Alex, Olli, Jackie and the others give this a shot and keep playing it, I’m throwing a wrench into Mike’s plans. Sorry I didn’t say anything about it last Tuesday, I hope everything goes alright.

Used to have a different account but I lost the password I posted here a few times. Just wondering if any of you guys are going to UFGT8 in May and how you plan to get there. I really want to go since it would be my first major but im not sure how im gonna get there.

I think everyone will road trip someway, somehow. Iowa usually has good turnouts at Chicago majors, so I’m sure you can catch a ride with someone. Now that you’ve put it out there, start checking in here as we get closer to the date. I have a feeling no one has anything set in stone yet, lol.

I guess they are only using 360’s at UFGT8. Converters may need to be purchased.

Ironically, I DON’T need one this time BECAUSE it’s on 360. And I get to use the stick I like most (Hori EX2). So yeah. O’Doyle rules, etc., etc. :stuck_out_tongue:

James - No sweat. I’m not worried about a lack of interest in KOF. Like I said before, at worst, people can download the demo and have 7 characters to mess with, so no one has an excuse to not play the game outside of a hatred of 2D no-airdash fighters. If no one plays it for the month that we have it, then we won’t run it anymore. Problem solved.

With most games, XBOX won’t be a big deal, but Tekken is probably the scene with the most pad players. Having converters to convert PS2 to PS3 is bad enough; having to get one to convert PS to XBOX is gonna be a huge pain. If memory serves, there aren’t really any reliable converters out there. Might be a moot point for me, though, since I play SC on a pad and I’m sure everyone will be playing it on XBOX, which might make a converter almost necessary.

There’s one pretty reliable converter out there (tested, works, I own it). Two strikes against it, though. One, doesn’t work for MadCatz sticks. And, two, it switches the X and Circle buttons. No joke.

Slight problem - Might not be able to run KOF on this Tuesday. Depends on if the game gets here in time or not. If not…I’ll probably just run Arcana Heart 3 or HDR.

The top-rated converter for PS2 to PS3 is great (even has a PS button) but has a problem with inputs geeking out. For whatever reason, it’ll just start sending rapid inputs to the PS. Just shows how big a pain in the ass having multiple gaming systems/controllers is.

I was talkin’ about PS2/PS3 to 360.

Yeah, I know. I was just giving another example of converter foolishness.

Haha okay thanks for the heads up.

And this is why my next stick is gonna be a Eight Arc since the ones that work on both consoles are only 190 and are apparently really good

Thanks SRK for not giving me proper notifications when someone posts in a watched thread. Well I’ve missed a lot of posts. Guess I better start checking everyday again, just in case SRK wants to be finicky again. Just a heads up, I probably won’t be able to make it to Joker’s. I got dates mixed up and I thought it was the 28th for some reason, now I realized it’s this weekend and I’m already scheduled to work Saturday. There is still hope though, I may be able to work something out with my schedule. I’m not gonna lie, I really wanna go. I haven’t been to a tourney since the Ames tourney at Pixels.
