First of all, Zach, thanks for having me over.
Second, it was awesome to finally meet many of you who I recognize on the forums. It’ll probably be a while before I get all the names/faces down though.
Thanks to the portland peoples showing up. It was awesome to see fatbear in action. I really don’t feel like I was on at all though. I didn’t even want to continue embarrassing myself playing making that many mistakes. I was a little uncomfortable playing 3s on the st cab. Maybe next time we’ll get some time with a ps2 or something like that.
Also, thanks to zass for teaching me st. It became clear pretty quick that I’m a pretty poor student so I think he was giving up, but thanks for trying.
I actually picked up a copy of ccc2 and will practice st until I get to play again. I also swear to learn some marvel at some point before next time.
Sadly I talked to some of you and neglected to really find out who you were. I realized my connections were a little limited with only going to gw and only playing 3s. Hopefully by picking up some other games and showing up to zach’s I will be a better contributor to the scene.
However, my biggest notice is the complete lack of 3s happening. I really think that the 3s players should find some organization and I don’t think that it should be on zach to deal with it. His thing is marvel, and though it seems like st is pushing itself in, it is also happening at other locations.
gameworks and that mall(forget which one) that have the crappy 3s cabs aren’t enough. It’s overpriced and not a good environment. If I had the means I would set it up at my place, but yeah…it’s not possible. Despite that I am determined to contribute to 3s happening in seattle however I can. I honestly can’t think of how to better organize or unify seattle 3s, but I know the players are there and I think we could rival portland if we step it up.
So anyone who is “sort-of” a 3s player or used to be or is considering it by all means please speak up now. I’ve tried pressuring gw staff to fix the machine hundreds of times and it’s still always broken. I can’t recommend a substitute but I am effectively done with gameworks. Hopefully someone can come up with a solution.
If nobody is really interested and I am just pushing a dead issue then I will shut up. However I truly believe there is a large enough 3s scene here that we can get together regularly. I used to offer to buy time cards every week and also pay for any games from when I got there til’ time card time. Then I would just leave the time card there after I left @ like 11:30. I only bothered with it just to try to encourage people to show up who kept saying they had no money.
It’s sort of similar situation outside of gw. I can’t help out a whole lot here, but if someone really needs a copy of anniversary collection give me a pm and I will see what I can do. I’m not exactly rolling in the dough so it’s about all I can offer. Most everybody has a ps2 especially in the scene so I figure that’s taken care of, and many have sticks so I leave that to you. However, if money is an object and you really want to get a copy of the game, give me a pm and I’ll see what I can do.
sorry for the wall of random ass text
