RIP Billy Mays and X3O...MD/VA post X3O gathering thread

Good games to all last night. If I don’t have any luck sellin this damn PS3 SE stick I might just suck it up and take it back to Gamestop for credit. Hmmm maybe I’ll use the credit for BB. We shall see.

lolwut: Congrats on the button install. I would have put more force into removing the microswitches but I really didn’t want to risk breaking them.

GGs to all as well :smiley: I hardly played, since I haven’t had time in the past few weeks, but hopefully I can get some legit casuals in this weekend.

Ditto on those QDs, they were much harder to pull out than normal.

Yeah dude, good to hear they finally did come out :smiley: I hope switching the buttons was relatively painless other than that.

If you get a JLF without a mounting plate, you’ll have to do some extra fooling around to get it to work. PM me if you need help.

I’m kinda unhappy that I missed the whole thing. It must have been super awkward.

Thanks for the Free McBoot and slice of pizza! I’m going on a burning craze now, burning a ton of games lol. Laggy TVs suck. Hopefully we can get house sessions going like Dikrodnum was talking about.

I want to burn games…what games? I dont know.

I am going to have to come out to this spot ASAP. So do a lot of folks be there on Sundays and can I bring my S.E. stick(360)?

Sundays are a gamble because X3O tends to have birthday parties on the weekend. Just check the thread, DevilJin or someone normally calls ahead of time and finds out what’s going on. And yes, you can (and should) bring your stick.

In other news, anyone up for some BlazBlue action at PG tomorrow starting at like 5-6ish? I’m gonna head up and check it out, how late is PG open?

Hey upas, how much to dual mod a te ps3 stick?

pg??

Its more like I show up at 10 and they tell me that I can’t play me some street fightaaaaaahhhhhrrrrgggg

PG = Power Gamer, a store in glen burnie mall

Monday ? Saturday: 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Sunday: 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

If you burn Fate/Unlimited Codes, I’d play that. I think the ultra long combos would make the wait for BB go by faster.

I’d come down for that

$85 all parts and labor included :smiley:

360 to PS3 is only $75, cuz I don’t have to do a padhack.

was meee…good games. Was fun playing you in MB and Akatsuki.

Also, I can be a pioneer for Poverty games. I already got a laptop that can run them pretty well.

Blitzkampf is a sick game, we were playing it for much of the day. So, I’ll have that running as well as melty and 3s.

Also, thanks Deviljin for the games, and teaching me some high level 3s. :karate:

any of u guys know where I can get a GC thats WAY better than a Nvidia GeForce 8500GT. Thats what I have currently in my PC and I need to upgrade.

I don’t think you need a really good graphics card for fighting games, though. I think it’s more dependent on RAM. Plus, yours is fine, I think for fighting games that’s, but not for most fps games that are running in that x30 place (just saying as an example).

I ran the bench mark for SFIV, and my joint is straight ass…and I know u didnt just post a link for a $180 GC?, lol. I got a couple suggestions from other ppl along with there links to Newegg, was just wondering if u guys knew anywhere locally. Ive been recommeded: GeForce 9600 and some others I forget. im lookin for somethin not to exceed $100 (really dont wanna spend that), bc I ONLY really plan on playin SFIV on it. I never game on a PC & this would be my 1st time ever buyin a game on the PC.

GG’s to all yesterday. Good Dictator and Ryu practice for me. The girl working there even let us play a little bit past 10 o clock (and let us sit and talk for like another 20 minutes after). Definitely inspired to buy an Asus Evo monitor by next week. Look forward to lag free HD SFIV (and other games) pretty soon.

nah, I just gave a link for graphics card section.

well since your willing to pay $100, looking at the stuff you can get from newegg i’d grab a nvidia 9800. If your going Ati, make sure its at least 256-bit (Same with the 9800 you pick).

Please make sure its running DDR3 ram

and if your looking to pick it up microcenter is another alternative. I dont know how good GTS 250 are but heres one for 99.99

Question(I know probably dumb)but will I still be able to play on the 360 with it and vice versa?

I say $100 b/c all the decent ones seem to be priced around that # If I see something cheaper, Im gonna go that route. If I just want to run SFIV on it, I dont need anything thats gonna be too serious. I just need to free up a TV. Then I could just play STREET FIYTAH FO ON THUH PEE CEE.
