Iowa: Maize of Defeat

I owe Uh is my favorite place to fart!?

Good luck at all the people going to FF. Blow it up!

I’ll be at Faustings for sure. Time to get to work on some gear practice.

I think he was referring to focus fire seeing as its this weekend.

Edit: Also just looking at the Frost Faustings thread, I doubt I’ll have any interest in going to that. Not interested in SF4 or GG and it’s looking like the 3rd game is going to be melty shit so yea.

How’d Focus Fire go? I can see that Grog decided to show the world his Third Strike skills once again.

I think it went pretty well. I placed second in both high stakes and regular ST, and even made Justin counter pick me in high stakes (though he learned my Sim during the regular tourney and didn’t need to). My team picking skills in 3S are still amazing, I got carried to winners yet again. Not sure where I placed in Vampire, there were 8 people in it total I think so me winning one and losing two would tie me at 5th? I didn’t play HDR, we decided to leave before it started due to the blizzard, we at least got our money back in it. If I entered I’m pretty confident I would’ve placed at least second. Also if you watched the stream ignore what John the commentator said, he blew what I said a bit out of proportion :tup:

Charlie’s ability to make his 3s teammates win is amazing

congrats on the successful trip and i missed the stream so what was said?

Congrats Grog.
I really need to remember that this thread exsists lol.

Thanks guys, don’t forget Murph got 2nd in Vamp and Curtis also got in the money for randoms 4.

Also just got a call from Rob, he won’t be able to drive down this weekend due to work. To be honest after this last weekend I’m not in much of a mood to drive, if someone else wants to volunteer I’ll chip in gas of course though.

anyone interested in attending this ? http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/8485/flyer1copy.jpg

A tourney with hnk? That would be awesome, even though it would probably end up being round robin.

Please tell me that hnk is going to be played on a cab…

Yes.

Well then, Congrats Curtis and Murph as well. Between work and holiday plans I won’t be able to drive out this weekend. I would have offered otherwise, it’s been too long since Redemption. Quick question though, anybody use a Tek case yet? The full Plexiglass ones that a tech talk poster makes?

Yay double post.
On another note, anyone gather on the weekends aside from Rob and myself?

I’m on the same page as the man formerly known as grog, I’m willing to throw in for gas if someone is willing to drive.

And yes, I have a tek-case stick, its pretty nice, but not perfect.

Ok, status updates on what’s happening this weekend (that is if plans are still on). Who’s riding with who?.. When we leaving?.. How long we staying?.. that sort of thing.

On a side note

IN ONE DAY BEEEEEEEEEEYATCH! I’M THAT DAMN GOOD!

^Yeah.

As far as I know, people going are:

Me
pbj
Grog
EvilZangief
Blank

That’s enough for one car. Personally, I’m in favor of driving down and back same day since we have no accommodations and I don’t want to spend the money unless forced to (due to weather). If that’s the plan, when and where are we meeting/leaving?

Also, I guess it’s me or Charlie that has to drive. I know Charlie already said he doesn’t want to, but I’d like to point out I’ve already driven to KC once and also to Minneapolis. But since I seem to have 0 authority around here, I’m guessing I’ll have to.

What say you?

Blake you do make a good point that you drove last time, I’ll drive but it’ll still be there and back same day (well maybe stay Saturday if things get TOO late). There is one problem though, I won’t be home on Friday night for the Ames guys to crash at my place. I’ll be home around 11pm but is that too late?
