OLD UIUC 2011 Thread

soooo here is an update from me:

apparently one of my brother’s friend’s xbox got RROD and he gave it to my brother (like literally… just gave it (what a dumbass)) and our xbox has RROD too so I think over spring break him and I are gonna fix both of them and then I’ll actually have a console to play on here that I can practice on rather than playing like once a month and then bitching cause my execution sucks. I’ll sit out on game nights till this though because like I said… I get pretty pissed off playing when my execution goes to the crapper like that and I have to like relearn all my reflexes for the game -_-

in other news I’m also hype for super :smiley:

I think M$ should fix them for free. If not, you can send them to Modchipman for repair, he is local to IL so shipping will be on the cheap side.

I still have my old RROD xbox…not sure what to do with it…

I named my XBOX RRod.

You say it kinda like how you so double Rs in spanish.

well i mean i can get the parts to fix it from ebay for like… less than 8 bucks and then theres like hella detailed videos on how to repair it yourself so no point getting someone else to do something like that since its not supposed to be hard anyway… if i get mine working over break, i’ll help you fix yours up chris :smiley:

I should find out what the exact error codes are so we know if this is even possible to fix.

Example: If my entire videocard is shot, then we aren’t fixing that shit by hand. If its just a burnt out fan, then it should be easy.

Farooq, I feel you on not wanting to play or whatever but you should come and at least play TvC…that is new to all of us so you aren’t behind the curve so to speak.

I second that. Besides, we never get to see you, and it’s good to have you around! :tup:

man im so hyped for tonight can’t wait to meet all of you guys

If you guys set up an alternate game night next week, I’ll stop bye to check out TvC :smiley:

yesterday was so much fun. ggz to everyone who played me. props to everyone who tried out TvC. James work on fighting against PTX its not that hard of a match but good shit on taking out my Jun/Tekka. Mike I kinda got frustrated against your Blade when you had that 11 game win streak I think that break afterward helped a lot since it gave me time to process what you were doing and relieve some of the stress of trying to beat Blade. Patrick (I think that was your name) good shit on taking a match off my Jun/Tekka if you practice a bit you could be pretty good.

GGs last night guys.

Pretty sure my team is just not that great vs giants.

Cant do much from far away besides laggy moves.

Just learn how to break his grabs. With Frank stay up close and use his command grab after any of his laggy moves which is all of them. With Casshan try using his twirly kick thing it breaks his super armor make sure to baroque it if i block it though. That team should be able to take out the giants quite easily once you know what your doing against them.

GGs yesterday, James and Brock we need to get more matches in, was just so tired yesterday -__-

Thats cool Dennis.

If possible I would like to hold a SF4 night at my place sometime this week. Maybe weds or Thurs.

And yeah If you ever wanna play some online let me know.

Brock: If I do decide to go to the ranbat in chicago saturday, I would probably leave from champaign but I am not sure if I will return there afterwards since my Home is more north of Champaign.

Dont Drink Alcohol

LOL @ that post being at 5:44 in the morning. Way to go James.

And if you are going to roll back near Chambana after the ranbat, lemme know. If not, oh well :frowning:

Unless someone else is going this weekend. I know a lot of the guys there, and Im fairly sure a lot of us could place top 8 over the people that have been showing up to the ranbats, and even a few of us that could place top 3 and win some MONAAAAAAYYY.

Anyways, here’s a link: http://www.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=226571

If anyone is thinking about going, let me know if I could bum a ride there, or even just back to Chambana if James ends up going.

yea i wanna go to that as well but need a ride :frowning:

I might go, it’s like only 30 mins from where I live.

So we got 2 who wanna go, and 2 who might go, being Dennis and James, but they both wont be returning to Champiagn (at least Im assuming that to be true for you Dennis, but you know what they say about assuming).

So that leaves Christian and myself, who want to go, but need rides.

Im broke right now, but I could pay for gas money in video games haha. I got a copy of Left For Dead 2 for 360 to whoever could give me a ride.

Or Fable 2, Ghostbusters, Street Fighter Anniversary Collection, Madden 10, NHL 10, Dead Space, Sould Calibur 4… I got a few other games too. I’ll give one game of choice for a ride there, and a game of choice for a ride back. So that’s 2 games you could get just for letting me tag along. Yes, I do want to go that bad, and I am that desperate.

Or, I have a 16gb Zune HD that I could let you hold onto as good will, until I could spot you 30 bucks when I start my new job at the end of the month for the ride. Like a pawn shop between friends, lolz.

lol thats some dedication there
