RENO CREW thread

Brisco County

That’s where you’re from?

“No ma’m, that’s who I am.”

Did anyone ever watch this fucking show? I just found it on suprnova and so many memories. http://202.157.184.195/suprnova//torrents/1443/Brisco%20County%20Jr%20[1x01]%20Pilot.torrent

I can’t go to the arcade tonight cuz I have a midterm due tomorrow that needs its ass kicked.

There’s 2 tourneys tonight, we’re doing GGXX first since it’s 1 game single elim, it will get done faster, then cvS2 will follow afterwards (assuming we still have the numbers). Anyway, sign-ups are still at the same time 7:30 and tourney starts at 8:00.

Each year I get less and less interested in the scene…

And each year I say to my co-workers that thats it… Im going to quit… but something inside of me keeps saying no… not yet… as if there is something I need to prove…

I’ve accomplished a lot I believe as a gamer… yes I no Choi or Valle or Justin… but for a small town gamer I think I’ve done well…

Recently, I talked to a friend of mine (at least thats what I thought) but anyways thats besides the point… but he made me realize… that I’m not happy anymore… not with him… not with the scene… and frankly… not w/ the people i hang out with (I dont mean to disrespect… but thats how I feel inside)…

Well anyways… The one thing that I realize what kept me in the scene is that I have fun w/ games not becaues i think im good at them… but because its just FUN… but I dont have that anymore… the second reason is that I have fun with the people I hang out with… but outside of gaming… I barely hang out with any of you… Im sure thats partialy my fault as well… but regardless…

Im officially throwing in my towel… IM DONE…

unless NCR for whatever reason sparks any interest back… IM DONE…

Evo this year is gonna be crap for me… I hate console… I dont think its how a major event should be… I flat out DONT LIKE IT…

Besides GGXX… there isnt a game that I wanna keep playing… and now knowing Im not going to Evo… whats the point of playing GGXX… oh well IM DONE…

WHAT TO DO WITH ALL MY STUFF?.. hmmm

Well after NCR… if u want something of mine… and u wanna buy it off of me for something reasonable… (fairly cheap… i dont wanna just give it away…)

just ask…

Jpn PS2
DC mod
Xbox
Games TONs of fighting games…
MAS Sticks… (i actually expect something reasonable here)
VIDS (Im gonna sell the vids i have… im not gonna make duplicates… if u want something some else got… then ask them to burn it for u…)
Guides…

etc… etc…

Yes Im serious this time… IM DONE…

Those who want to hang out w/ me outside of gaming … call me up… Im always down to hang out… other than that…

hey nice knowing u all…

In other words… this weekend… is probably the final weekend u guys are probably gonna be coming over… and playing at my house… since I guess after NCR I wont have any systems to play anything on… OH WELL

Lates,

ROB_UNR

:frowning:

anyway, i posted the results up + in the tournament thread i think? o.o

tigerwtf: cause everytime i’ve seen “him” online, “he” got banned.

gg motherfucker.

rob_unr: aww, where’s our money match. ^^ anyways, sorry that you are giving up on the gaming world, but if it really didn’t give you any pleasures or joy, there is no reason you should stay in in the first place…

only thing that keeps me playing is the people i play with and the competition itself…

anyways, good luck in whatever you do.

btw, how much are you looking for for the x-box? that’s the only system i have NEVER played on, and just curious…

kugler: i want to sex you… not really, come to berkeley and find them secret spots scamp told yall about.

you mean more hot pot spots? O_o that’s all scamp talks about now adays. :frowning: he’s a raving lunatic with hippy hair! :O!!!

Oh man Rob, you’re probably the best all around player I know, through 2d and 3d fighting games! I just wanna wish you a good farewell, and good luck to whatever your gonna do in the future.

PS I’m willing to buy your Xbox and whatever games that come with it for a $100. I really wanna play Ninja Gaiden to tell you the truth.




…FINALLY I CAN HANG OUT WITH SOMEONE WHO DOESN’T JUST WANT TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES ALL DAY!!!

Or maybe Rob has finally made the jump to online PC shooters…

At any rate, I would like to see you price lists and availible financing options…do you accept most major credit cards or do you have in-home financing with a Rob’s House store credit card? Will you be duping people with 25% interest?

Sorry I missed it tonight…the last hurrah is it were…I saw your car leaving as I walked up to the arcade but I didn’t think you were leaving for good…

My question now is for JP…what’s up? You told me a while ago how you wanted to lead “Reno Crew” after Rob stepped down…is this still true or are you retiring as well…and if that’s the case, when will everybody else get to hang out with Joe!? WHEN?!

Well, my 240 seconds is up so I guess I can post now…

Good-bye, Eddie…

Gosh… it feels like Im gonna die or something…

Yes Im quitting… but thats after NCR… so if LB wanna bet me… it’ll be at NCR…

Who knows if NCR sparks interest to me again… maybe i wont leave the scene just yet… but as of now… that seems to be the last day…

as for my stuff…

Electrify… WOW… yes if i quit u got it… $100 for xbox… i only got cvs2 online thats what i bought it for :smiley:

JP has got first dibbs on my import PS2 since he’s pretty much been my right hand man…

As all of u know… I have a lot of games in DC and PS2 all of which are figting games…

most of which are imports… if u wanna buy em off me… i’d probably sell em for like $5-$10 each…

Sticks for maybe $100 for the one that works… the other just needs the ps2 cable replace as far as i can tell id probably sell that for like $50 … i have bunch of 8way sticks buttons switches… etc… i dunno if people are interested in that… i still have ParaPara …hehe lord…

I have vids for GGXX CVS2 MvC2 T4 TTT VF4 etc… all pretty good i think… probably like $5 per stack just to cover for the CD’s

Gamecube w/ Metroid two controllers i dunno if someone is interested in that…

Strategy Guides… for GGXX and CvS2 and A3

Tons of OG vids… from B3 B4 B5 Evo MWC TTT nationals SkillSmith GAMEST etc…

and other stuff i cant think off the top of my head…

but ask for it after NCR… since thats really when I will decide…

Lates,

ROB_UNR

Since Nick Yacono asked that question, I guess I’m inclined to answer. And the answer to your question Nick, No. Why? There are so many reasons as to why, but mainly I have seen the scene go from having 1 idea built and just get dropped. After NCR 1, we decided to become a crew, and learn to play and feed off each other. That didn’t happen. Secondly , I never even saw any dedication from anyone (practice and what not). None. That hurts considering that how we did in NCR, IMO, wasn’t good enough. Did we do something about it?? No is the answer to that.

Nick remember when we had that conversation 4 months ago that lead you to post that horrible thing here in our threads about Nick Suttie, and you told me that you felt that he didn’t really have any enthusiasm towards it? Well to be honest, and Rob pointed it out, he did. He played CvS2, every single time, and had the right motivation. That’s what we expected the moment we all agreed we were going to be a crew. That didn’t happen. As Rob was telling me all of these last night, I grew bored and un-interested to the scene already. It felt like almost everyone was already happy of how they’re doing and how they stand right now. Tourney’s are boring every single time we had one. Nothing was fun anymore.

Also, if you read almost anything I have said, there are times where I’ve asked if anyone wants to do something besides playing games. And that gets shot down almost every single time. I’ve always thought of all of us as being friends, and getting to hang out, not just with games but hang out as friends. Apparently, I was hoping for that last Sunday, it became apparent that some aren’t really interested, not just by watching Wrestlemania, but hanging out as friends. It sucks, and oh well. That’s all I can really say to this. Rob has gotten to the point where he’s just tired of it all. Reality struck him, and it has for so long, he just really didn’t realize it until now. I’ve felt about this since last year. And I already know what he’s going through. I have so much problems that’s going through right now, and keeping a positive outlook is probably the only thing that’s keeping me a float from going insane.

There, now you know the answer. I don’t know if that’s the answer you wanted to read, but yes I’m not going to take the torch and run with it. If you think Rob’s tired…I’ve been tired, since last year. OH well, see you guys in NCR, since like I have stated, it’s my final major tourney.

JP

aaww man, i hate to see you guys do this. But it is your lives, thus its your choice. And i support that.
Just remember…you guys r my dawgs man…we can hang whenever you guys want (if my work permits of course :stuck_out_tongue: )

well rob if your really gonna go thru with it, then ill buy your stick off of yu (the working one for 100 bucks). i need something with a ps2 port on it so i can practice ggxx.

later dudes

sorry to hear both jp and rob are quitting. =/ seems like reno’s top players are all quitting/leaving… sucks for everyone i suppose. i think the saddest part is that rob’s post was saying how he didn’t feel like he had real friends in the scene, and what’s the first thing out of everyone’s mouth? “oh hey well uh lemme buy that game from you or that system!” instead of talking to him as a friend and asking him why he’s leaving this and that. =/ kinda pathetic, really

but whatevs, to each their own. i’m not quitting gaming, and ncr/evo aren’t my last tournaments. if you don’t have fun entering tournaments than i totally agree; don’t go. if you don’t like games, don’t play. it’s called a game for a reason…

anyways, sad day for reno crew =/

ps; jp, i hope you’re not quitting because of the fact that rob’s quitting… you seem to use rob’s motivations/feelings as your own alot of the time, and i don’t really care to see a good player leave for no reason other then his friend is leaving aswell… but that’s none of my business.

This sucks. I don’t know either of you two well, but it’s always sad to see good players leave the scene.

Everyone has their own reasons for doing something Paul. I dunno, I did say I was gonna quit last year but Rob made me stay. You dn’t know that simply cause I didn’t tell anyone else except Rob. I never wanted to go to the first NCR, but Rob told me to go. Reason being, I did say that NCR is my last Major, why cause 1 it’s the one I can afford, 2 it’s seomthing worth going to (for myself). I don’t expect you to understand anything that I have said due to the fact that 1. you’re moving to Florida, and 2, you never really were there to motivate me. It’s not an attack to you, but over all, that’s how it felt. If you guys think i’m quitting cause Rob is quitting, well there’s 2 sides to that. 1, Rob is the one and only the one I will consider my equal or better yet my Rival (Angel is the second closest one), if my rival quits, there’s no point for me to actually stay and find a new one. no point. I’ve already stated why. No motivation from everyone, and anyone. It becomes boring and over all I just grow tired of it.

JP

I remember having a conversation with you, and then, unrelated to that conversation posting “horrible” things about Nick Suttie, but I don’t recall me being the person to say that he was not enthused about CvS2 four months ago…it’s not my place to start calling people out, but I remember who said what in the motel room that night…in the car, I repeated what was said the night before as an example and said that Nick didn’t seem like he was getting into the whole “Reno Crew” as a family thing…I don’t think anyone would disagree with me on that…if Nick Suttie wants to say anything on the subject, feel free…but when I agreed with you guys and said that it didn’t seem like he wanted to be a part of “us,” I was right…he might be now, or he could have been the next day, but I stand by what I said…

And whatever ugliness happened between everyone else and Nick is everyone else’s business, but the last two times I saw him, everything was quite civil and friendly between us…for anyone to bring up something I may have said months ago is trivial compared to the way some people talk and feel now…

And as for this quitting business…ummm, if you don’t want to play competively on a national level, that’s cool…welcome to the club…just don’t be so melodramatic about things…Rob said it’s not fun anymore, but I try my best to have fun everytime I play…I might not go to Evo this year since no one else is now, but it doesn’t mean I’m going to stop playing games…I love games because they’re fun and I like playing games with Reno Crew because you are my friends down here…I’m not very good at the games we play, but I go down to Sunnyvale and I went to Evo because I wanted to hang out with you guys and have fun…

I hope that both you and Rob consider me to be your friend like I have considered you to be mine…Rob said some cryptic things back there, so who knows how he or you feel towards anybody? But aside from my natural distaste for silly theatrics, none of this matters to me and I still think you two are interesting people that I’d like to keep around…

You could have just said yes. :stuck_out_tongue:

Well I gave him a good farewell and all that good stuff. I didn’t exactly throw the offer in his face. Anyways I don’t think I know him long enough to ask why and write long paragraphs saying goodbye.

Cool Rob, if you retire I’ll take that Xbox and CvS2 for $100.

wowzers, jp is quitting too.

gg yall.

And it’s because of you…

You make me sick…

LB knows me??? I thought for sure he didn’t since I haven’t met him ; ;. Though, I’ll sure meet you now in NCR, see you there.
