You know, it’s really silly that you and I haven’t met yet. Are you the desk with all the Capcom posters in suite you-know-what? I think I’ve been by there after you’ve left for the night and I’ve seen what I think is you sitting at it when I go in there for Dr. Pepper but I haven’t ever gone over and said hi. I’m thinking of the one more or less dead center down the hallway from the door here.
Yes, it would be hard not to figure out that that is my desk, ha. All sorts of Capcom stuff is laying around there from various Capcom collections and, well, other such development.
You and I are the only actual fighting game players there, but we have no games in common.

chipp power!
Pat the Great: I’ve tried for years to retire from Chipp. I might be on the verge of really doing it. lol.

Sirlin I will take you up on Slash whenever I get a chance to import that mess; I don’t feel like noobin’ it up. I’ll hit you up for some ST sometime in the near future.

Oh yeah, we have to play. I’d be down most for maybe some Sliz. Got to get my Jam up to par, though.
Man, you sure did tear up WOW in that article, just had to say.
A_Rivival!!! leave for Tilt after 3:00 PM Friday! It’ll be fun for you! Plus, I know you likes to sleep.
I mean, who wants to leave efore 3:00 PM anyway? Losers, that’s who…
Wait… do you go to skiz on Friday or will you be at home?
I have school on friday, but it’s set “3-6pm” so I will be out that mess quickly.+(tues-thur-sat is variable from 12-whenever lab ends).
Are you in the north bay or the east bay right now? I’ll be in SR tomorrow.
-A_Rival
Well, there’s always ST. I could probably be talked into playing Guilty Gear once in a while as long as I don’t hear too much preaching about it. 
I see that you guys have everything figured out but what about wednesday after six at the arcade in emeryville. I’m sure I can get about four heads their for third strike, Two or three for marvel and one for GGXX.
good luck. he’ll suck you back in with his new teleport.
Dem-Dem: What arcade in Emeryville? I hope you don’t mean the terrible one at the Public Market across from the Broken Rack.
If anyone wants to play GGXX or possibly something SF2 or Alpha related, just come to my place. Today, wednesday, or thursday is all good.

Blast… i’ll be working…
Rivival… i’m back in SR right now. Working every night through Friday, in which i’ll be working until 3 then it’s weekend off… including all of Sunday. But I might be heading down to SJ. I’m not sure. I needz to play some DR.
And it looks like I might be getting a PSP for DR after all…
Im gonna try to be at the tilt b4 5 but its looking like I might have to bus out there(oof).
Would anyone be able to host something during the weekends…? I’m a GGXX specialist, and probably the only “real” GGXX player in Oakland. Sirlin, I’ve heard great things about you and I’d love to have an opportunity at playing you in Slash.
Raon, e-mail me at sirlin(at)sirlin.net. I think GalzPanic will come over tomorrow (Saturday) at around 5:30pm. If LB reads this, maybe he’ll come too. See if you can make it. I must live like 3 minutes from you.
–Sirlin
sorry for the long time to respond. Yeah that’s the only arcade I know of in emeryville. I car pool through out the week except wednesdays it’s the only day good for me. if your residence is in oakland/emeryville i’m there.
sup guys sirlin where’s your place at? I live in berkeley, play guilty gear etc.
Hey I agree that the oakland scene is near dead, but not completely yet. Since most of the local arcades are either shut down or just plain suck and have no competition, I have started collecting my personal favorite arcade cabinets. So far I have SF Alpha3 and SF3: third strike. If anyone is interested in playing, send me a PM. Heres the deal, machines are on free play, and all are welcome to come play regardless of skill, race or affiliation. Just no attitudes and no hurt feelings. My partners and I certainly talk a little head when we play, but its all in good sport, if you dont like that then dont bother coming. No one has to pay anything to play obviously, but donations of beer, food and other things are always welcome. Im leaving town for the next 3 weeks on wednesday so if you are interested hit me up and we will work something out for mid august. I would like to see this become an ongoing thing with good competition and possibly some cash tourneys in the future if people are down. Ideally I will be meeting people first before I invite them into my home, so that means dont show up with a bunch of strangers unannounced or you might get a door closed on ya. Other then that, I hope there are still some players left in the area that have even a marginal amount of skill who would like to come represent. For those that said the oakland scene is dead…I hope to hear from you soon. Laters
I got a text message saying the oak tree arcade is back… can anyone confirm?
-A_Rival
ps. I’m down for that in-house arcade madness. Hit me up on PM for phone #.
oaktree is back? lol
