Oh I know for sure about Flatrabbit, he had some issues so I didn’t want to pry into his personal life. Super cool dude though.
I feel ya on that. PAX '05 SUCKED while working in the BYOC PC… They set up 2 DDR machines right next to us… “I’m going to throw the next motherfucker that plays that ‘aye yae yae, my little butterflyfuck’ song off the balcony.”
Yeah, it is really pretty incredible how organized/nice it is. Will probably be spending a good chunk of time in there tomorrow since I’m bringing my stick.
The guys in the Smash pools I was running cheered when my name was announced, which was cool. And then when I was walking the Exhibition Hall, some guys yelled “ZACH!!!” and I was really confused - until they said thanks for running the pool.
Pretty random.
Capcom is sold out of Servbot keychains already.
Probably will be sold out of sticks soon - they only had 150 of the original 700 left. I got 2 of the Femme Fatale TE 360 sticks. I picked them up in case other people wanted 'em - let me know if you want to jump on that. I know Toshin wanted one, but shipping that will be a bitch, so I got him his backup requests.
Note that if you’re volunteering for Rob, you do NOT get an Enforcer shirt this year, so bring your own shirt that you want to wear.
Yea man console and PC freeplay this year was leagues beyond previous years. Attendance has gone up significantly and yet there were no lines to play. 1000 seat LAN is fucken sick.
ATTENTION PEOPLE THAT WANT TO GO TOMORROW BUT NEED BADGES
They got word from the convention center that they can sell 1000 more tickets each day. Originally they were going to sell these at the door but you can get the ONLINE nowas well. Get em while they last.
Preppy, hold on to the other just in case gameshark decides to fail me in my order. Even then I might get it from you after kumoricon so I can mod it haha
the kids in my pool were pretty sweet, I think I had the two smallest pools though. only one guy who kept wandering off, the dude that took pool 16 did it with a busted up hand with a brace on it.
zach - if it’s not too late, zig totally guilt tripped me into entering SFIV. could I borrow a sitck as I don’t have any 360 hardware.
EDIT: TE would be my pref, but I’ll take what I can get.
I only got to talk to Ian for a tick this morning in the free play (after I shoved a flier into his hand). I’ll be heading back down round ~10ish to check out his screening and panel discussion.
Orlando took 2nd, munky took 4th (beat out the future to make it out of his pool), vagrantlest and I took 5th, kriangkrai took 9th? Riki took 16th?? Mandel and paul le took 23rd…there’s probably more but that’s off the top of my head.
Nick (Munky) got 3rd actually. pool 21 was a rough place to be, so glad I didn’t go 2 and out, i still went out but didn’t get totally shamed…
GGs to everyone I got to play.
EDIT:
thanks Pat and Nick and dude who’s name I can’t remember for passing out fliers. and thanks for the stick loan Nick, I cleaned up all the micro switches and the actuator. could prolly use a bit of lube soon and your spring is getting the be a little loose.
