I don’t think I’ll be going to EVO this year…I definately don’t have the money, but I don’t think I have the motivation…unless I master Kliff in the next couple weeks count me out for sure…
Otherwise I’ll be riding in style in the General Lee whose muffler simply fell off in the middle of W. 7th street today…
At least it doesn’t rattle anymore…
Anyways…Nick Campbell! Hook it up with the Foldgers!!!
I really have to think about going to evo. It costs me over a thousand dollars in expenses and money lost from time off work to attend Evo. This year I would definitly be more of a spectator since I don’t realistically expect to go that far and I’m honest with myself and my practice and dedication to the games which is almost nothing. I do not play or practice GGxx outside of tournies and casual play, I occassionally mess around with cvs2 in practice mode and I play lag fighter.
This is fine with me since being a top player is not a goal of mine, I like to compete but do not wish to invest hours upon hours of practice and travel to play the best to get better. It’s not like you can be a pro tennis player hitting balls by yourself all day and then expect to react to every opponents style, I think the same is true with fighting games. Although I really enjoy the experience with you guys I have been fortunate enough to go the last two years and I just have other goals in my life right now and could use that 1,100 bucks towards school or just to save. So I guess I just made up my mind and I will not be attending this year, sorry guys.
Until we have confirmed how many are going, it’s hard to say how much we’re going to spend. The rooms last year cost more cause it was for 2 rooms. Now that it seems that we’re going to be only having 1, I think we’ll be alright with the price (I’m willing to pay for more if I do get a bed, but I highly doubt it, we’ll see though). Since right now the head count is at 5, and 2 people sleeping on the floor, it’s really tough to say how much everyone will be spending. I’ll be entering XX and the team for #reload, but that’s wha?? $10.00 for #reload? and $10.00 entry fee with $25.00 on XX??? The ticks would prolly cost $150-$190 (relatively speaking), and hotel will cost $150-$160 (split with 5 peeps give and take) at most, food will vary upon from $25-$50, maybe even $100 depending how hungry you are for the next 3 days. Over all, you spend $495-$500.
That’s the reason why sometimes you do think why you do this year in and year out. I’m doing this cause this is my final time in Evo, and probably would just save my money to go to SBO instead or like what Chris said “GO TO SCHOOL”. People say you can do this and still have enough, assuming I have a parent that I can rely on (not bashing on anyone about this, I’m just stating facts about myself here). But in reality, if you think about it I don’t. I’m not dropping the scene, I’m dropping the Majors, like I have said over and over already. This is the last one, and I’ll try to go out with a bang :D, not just to make myself satisfied, but to silence the people that doubts how I am, and how I play. I may not play much now, but come Evo, I’ll come out as the old me.

P.S. Retirement speech?? Bullshit, we heard that shit over and over with Rob and it never happens so I won’t say nothing. Btw he just needed money and he wanted to sugar coat it instead of just comming out and saying “I NEED MONEY FUCKERS THAT’S WHY I’M SELLING MY SHIT.” though I didn’t believe he was going to so called “retire”, he really needed money then, and glad he’s doing great now. Now hopefully I can say the same for myself ; ;.
P.P.S.S. Don’t hurt me rob hides, GG’s last night btw, :D, you’ll hate Sol even more now that I’m going to be bugging you almost every night after the 2nd week of June :D.
???.. Eric, i changed the date on my post, sorry, i looked at the wrong calendar (I looked at the May one instead of the June). Anyway, Our #reload machine?? Is it impress cabs or is it just going to be in our XX machine??? Just curious, since everyone keeps saying it’s on JPN’s sticks and stuff (and more complaints when people can’t get used to it, watch). As for cruising exotica…i doubt we’ll learn that, maybe T5?? assuming it’s not the same crappy BS as T4 (no more 1~2’s please, it’s really boring when the game revolves on that).
(Breaks the chopstick in half PERFECTLY!!!) “Hehe”
“hehe”
