Uh, you mean ABCD like BB? Yea, I talked to them about it and they said they’d give it a try to put it in.
Also, note, tomorrow we’re doing a Melty Blood Gatherng at Southtown! It’s 5 dollars per person for the whole time. Bring your sticks if you like! It starts at 6 and ends at 9!
To the owners of Southtown, I drank earlier with a man named Larry Zhiou (I think that was the spelling), but he claims to know the owners of Southtown, and he wanted to say what’s up. That is all.
@Kof peeps: If you guys are cool with it, there’s space on Sundays to run the ranbats. It might be possible to get the stream on iPlayWinner just like AE and MvC3. If you’re not okay with Sunday, please let me know otherwise I will change it to Sunday.
Since XIII has come out it’s taken a while to get people who’re interested to actually put in some time on it, I assumed it might have been because it we all thought no one was gonna take it seriously. Now’s our chance to show everyone else what we already know about how good this game is. I think the best we can do it for it is give XIII it’s spot on Sunday streams, the opportunity’s pretty much been offered, we should take it, I feel we’ll regret doing otherwise since we pretty much got nothin to lose.
Hey apparently all 3 games are running this Sunday. With regards to streaming, I hope this doesn’t take away from XIII, it’s rare to find high quality competition on a high quality stream for this game. I don’t even play the game but I think it’s awesome, I think it needs exposure a lot more than AE/MvC3 which are already very popular.
So how is the IPW going to handle multiple games? Stream top 4/8 of each?
Well, from some of the positive feedback and a poll based on Bay Area participants for the game, we’ve ascertained that Sunday will not be a problem. So, I’ll make a quick change. Sunday is a go as far as I’m concerned.
Thank you very much, Haunts! It’s much appreciated and I thank you greatly for your support. Lets keep up the hype, ladies and gents. Make the whole Bay aware what’s gonna happen Sunday!
