NC LXI: Sweet Home Carolina

It was definitely Jon’s hair

Rotfl.

This reminds me of the time Ceron had a gathering for the SC3 release and I beat this guy and he looks at me and says “you wanna go dude?”

Lol. I dunno …the way you perceived hostility made me think about the time I almost gutted some pig at my friends house. Truth is if people are already close the new guy might get the cold shoulder even though he is invited to gatherings, you have to warm people up.

Personally I really dont give a fuck. If you like me if you dont. I dont start shit and I’ll knock your head off if you try me, but I digress…

Oh…while im thinking about it…John, do you know how that guy Chet died? It was so weird when I found out. He’s been dead like 3 or 4 years now.

i meant hostile here on the forums, not in real life, but from the way you sound maybe i should be concerned about both. “gutted some pig”? seriously? why you gotta act so tough on a video game forum?

Don’t project your insecurities on to us just because you’re socially awkward. I’ve been to six people’s homes here without having known them first and they were nothing but gracious. People aren’t obligated to be excited about an arcade with games they don’t play, hours from where they live.

LOL what is your problem?

I called him a pig because his ass was fat and he was gonna get his ass kicked trying to fight me over a game in my friends place.

ANYWAY. Just that alone gives me the impression that you take things the wrong way, so its no wonder you feel like people dont like you on the board.

I dont know any of the guys in here but if they invited me to a gathering I would go. You making shit too difficult man.

No need for that stuff here, man. Nobody is worrying about getting violent over a video game.

The Ark sounds cool. I’m definitely down for some ST,JoJo’s,and some Waku waku 7!! Thanks to everybody who showed up last night.Small crowd but it was great fun. Sorry I was sooo sleepy,lol. Gonna head up to ez soon ,just feelin kinda lazy tonight.I’m in no rush I guess…
Oh, I have 2 SEGA Dream Casts,but we really do need sticks. Those pads are some of the worst in history!!! If need be I’ll have my home boy in Japan send us a couple of Green Monsters!!

lol. I feel like you are reprimanding me like a child.

“Hey man, no need for that in here”

I promise I wont do it again. Unless you feel salty about losing in Soul Calibur 3 and come at me first.

i’m trying to get games they DO play, but if you’d rather just play the same group of people every week and kick back and joke with each other on the NC thread, be my guest. i’m far from socially awkward, but i’m not going places where i’m not wanted.

and if you aren’t willing to drive, maybe that’s why players from ATL and virginia always win our local tournaments. they’re willing to drive, we aren’t.

Just because people aren’t stumbling over themselves to pat you on the back doesn’t mean we’re hostile or unwelcoming. The NC thread isn’t really an indicator of one’s standing in the community. I’m not sure why you think it is. Zoogstin has been a close friend of mine well before we started posting here, but you don’t see him trailing over my posts because it’s not necessary.This thread isn’t about any one person’s social standing, much less yours. If people aren’t immediately receptive to your ideas, there is probably a good reason.

This is nonsense. Self serving nonsense actually. Whether or not players from out of state beat us has nothing to do with how many people are willing to indulge your Arcade fantasies. You’re right, they’re willing to drive. They’re willing to drive to tournaments and gatherings that matter (IE: strong competition)-- not to a location that might at some vague point in the future have a single cabinet for a game they may or not even play. Take up your own challenge, why don’t you drive to one of our already established locations? We have four game centres that are functionally no different than arcades, except that they’re better right now because we already have the games and you pay less.

Secondly:

Who said this to you? Is this something that actually happened? If someone has insulted you personally at a gathering for some perceived lack of skill, then that’s awful. Tell me who it was and I’ll speak to them for you if you want, I’m not a fan of bullying.

However, if you’re just tossing it out there, carelessly insinuating or alluding to very serious things-- that haven’t actually happened, then you’re own your own. I can’t be bothered chasing away the monsters under your bed, because they’re not there and its a waste of time pretending they are.Don’t project your insecurities on to us just because you’re anxious or nervous about being new. It’s going to be a lot harder for you to feel comfortable participating in the scene if you’ve already made up silly reasons to exclude yourself.

oh shit.

LOOOOOOOOOOL

lol yall seen this. I hope i dont have any suckas like this tryin 2 come to my crib and shit all asking 'do u like me? how much do u rlly like me?. Shits homo, no homo.

anyway im back now that 3SO is out Thats that real game. I got free advice 2. Make sure you play with MICS on so you can hear if they a nigga or not coz Niggas is too good at this game, dont play them.

SupremeDNA only speaks words of wisdom.

also more pro avice dont play Oro. I just seen this shit today.

i mean damn.

let me space it out one more time so you can see.

DAMN. That nigga got his DICK all out and shit like its jsut something to do. Thats why hes got on arm under his robe for real yall fucking nasty if you still play him. . I aint trying to play with that busted ass Mr.Burns lookin muhfuckka no more tho.

lol why would people drive out to an arcade place in Greensboro to pay to play a game we already have on consoles? It’s not like there’s going to be some huge outpouring of skilled players at this place, maybe some random kid or a mexican every now and then on the machine not knowing what he’s doing. NC’s reason it loses to people from out of state is that not enough of our players are dedicated to getting better. Doesn’t matter how many lost arcs we have, we gotta have motivation before any of the rest can come and those of us who are good are just going to have to travel to level up until more people step their games up.

It’s cool you’re doing an arcade but there’s a reason they’re failing in the world. I used to go to arcades to play stuff I couldn’t play at home. Now I can.

ORO FAN SERVICE FUCK YEAH

I’m voting for deleting this thread and starting a new NC LXI topic and pretending this one never existed.

what in the fuck happened in here? i mean lost ARK sounds cool and i would definitely make it a priority of mine to visit, if im in the area. ESPECIALLY if its a Majors production. but as is, theres not one game in there that will draw the type of focus some perceive it would. hell i can bring my modded XBOX and play every single game people can name…for free.

Lucerne proving why he so GDLK and SupremeDNA is back? i will subscribe for these alone.

dont delete…let it ride.

but on the note of Lost Ark, it was said that its also a store and all formats are represented. im an AVID classic game collector and my focus has recently been on collecting AES carts. whats there for me?

If you have new fighting games that I can’t play at my own house / other peoples’ place / tournament venue… then I’m all about going to Lost Ark.
I think it’s a good idea, but like Jon said, there are a lot of fighting games that you can already play everywhere else. Gotta provide something that people can’t usually play without traveling to places like Cali, Texas, Japan, etc. That way it gives people an incentive to travel to the venue.

Delete? This is the best thread ever. We have Lucerne throwing the logic around and Oro’s dick. What more do we need, as a state, to discuss?

I don’t know which is more gay. Guys staring at Oro’s dick or the fact that someone actually took the time to look for it. I still only see a robe covering him.

When it comes to newer players vs. older players newer players have a big advantage that many probably don’t try to realize. As a new player instead of going through trial and error you can just ask someone who has been playing the game for years advice. I think this is why a lot of the older players can seem like jerks most of the time. Its not that their trying to be jerks, its just that they’ve spent a lot of time to gain the knowledge they have now and all you have to do as a new player is just ask and its yours. Instead you whine and moan and when older players choose to ignore you and not waste time you get upset and throw a tantrum. Just saying, use the resources you have, level up, and settle whatever it is you have to settle on the sticks.
