Northwest Majors '09 - Saturday, August 22nd- Landmark Convention Center, Tacoma, WA

Brent, here’s the 4 way setup I’m suggesting:

Normal matches can be played on this too, btw.

To do this, we need:

1: 3 SDtvs
2: 1 HDTV
3: 2 or 3 tables
4: A/V Splitter w/4 AV cables
5: 6 available power slots (minimum)

So I’d rather not bring my TV as it sucks, is huge (in the bad CRT way), heavy as fuck, and the color/picture is not very good. I can probably adjust the colors though… But in a pinch I can bring it if we’re really low, but I need big strong manly men to carry it for me. My chiropractor doesn’t want me carrying heavy things, not to mention I already tweaked my wrist doing it anyway. Either a rolling cart or some tv-carrying slaves are required for me to lug my TV. Hopefully we have enough though, I honestly just don’t want to. :lol:

Does anyone have a laptop I could use to run the tournament?

I am going to bring a small LCD monitor (doubles as a smaller tv) and ps2 setup, but it’s mainly gonna be dedicated to melty blood (since there seems to be a fair amount of interest in it from the GG community). however i’ll bring all my games so if needed it can be used for 3rd strike or GGAC+ (if someone has a disc for it).

am i still committed to commentating GG, BB, and 3s? just making sure.

I’ve got Bracket making skills, commentating skills, people skills, put ME to WORK!

I’ll volunteer when the times right tomorrow!

Can I commentate on Blazblue and MvC2? I feel like those are the only two games that I know enough about to not sound stupid while talking about them.

Sweet, Melty Blood. Mash A fest!

Im bringing mine!

I actually really like that layout, it reminds me a bit of the gods garden layout when they had two tvs connected to one PS3 using a powered HDMI splitter.

Brent I’ll try to be there @ 9am or earlier. I’ll call you when I get into town.

Yo so I was just talking to Emmanuel and it brought up a question… if I didnt register online what time do I have to be there tomorrow to register? I wasnt planning on showing up until a few hours before SF4 starts but he said he thinks final registration is at 11.

This can happen. In fact, this needs to happen. If you are sure we can make it work, then lets do it.

James (LogicHoleFlaw) is loaning his HDTV, which is the size of a small bus (no, really) and is also bringing his sound system. We packed it for 1 /12 hours today.

We lag tested it when running on PC and gaming mode, and it seemed fine, but if it is just being used for displays it doesn’t matter anyway. I will talk to you about the set up when I get there.

Ray, what time you planning on being up here? I’ll be at Venue close to 9 to set up all my gear so let me know if you need help with the wiring and what not.

Still bummed we can’t get working internet there. I might see just how badly I can piss off ATT and see if I can get decent speed with my iphone cause I’m going to need it to upload pics

I hope you didn’t update your iPhone recently, I heard the 3.1 update breaks the tethering hack. I haven’t verified this personally though.

Finished pre-registering but it didn’t ask for my info. Here’s all the stuff. I sent an e-mail too.

Actually somehow mine still lets me tether. But I did the what…3.01 update or something. I dunno, all I know is that it works every now and then lol

Alright, it is now 12:00, which means it is officially the day of the tournament. Pre-reg is now closed. See everybody tommorow morning.

Alright I’m not gonna lug my TV, just giving a heads up. Not sure when I’m showing up, see you guys there! I’m hyped.

Could you be there by 9?

Hey Brent, I e-mailed you a bit ago regarding my name not showing up on the table.

edit: apparently all I wrote about was that I didnt see a spot for my handle, but I’m not seeing my name on the chart at all yet either.
