Street Fighter in Beijing?

oh yeah, 32–do you still have my stick? i’ll probably be looking to get my ticket over in the next month or so, just figuring out what i need to sell before i go over.

He still has your stick and it’s still in working condition. That makes me salty too because both my Q2’s were bugging out on me lately. You must have got an improved version or something.

@32 We just played some D3 during the open beta they had this weekend. Game’s boss! Can’t wait for May 15th.

Yup, your stick is still here waiting for you.

Me summing up my shortcomings in FGs while chatting with Rod on MSN:

“heh I think I’d go a long way in these games if I just tier whored. Alas, I just can’t pick a fat character in yellow spandex jumping around like a monkey all day.”

I’ll be off for my short sabbatical tonight. I hope you all have a great time while I’m gone and be good.

hi guys .long time no see.i hope you are doing well .with the god forsaken place im in (吉林) i lost track of time and since im an impolite prick i forgot to get in touch with you guys.
i took an appartement (twice bigger than jason half the price lol) but the stupid city knows only KOF and CVS which is not my cup of tea.
and frankly the weather here (-10 -20 degree half of year )is not encouraging .
i main now ibuki and yun .and finally managed to get arcade live(chinese ggpo)to work here and i got to say its a blast .
recently i stopped playing 3d fighter after playing the abomination callled SFXT and i think ono and later harada should be judged by a supreme court for betrayal and Hypekillery.
in fact i should play SSBB if SFXT is considered a Pro Fighting Game.
BTW where is my favorite friend? i mean Rod .
as everyone knows im clumsy,and i lost all your numbers guys with my old phone.

anyway i hope youre doing okay and say hi to vietnamese guy(i dont know his name).

Woah, looks like we found a ghost! long time no hear Ab -

Favorite friend? I’m honored haha - but then if you switched to Ibox I dunno how I feel about all that lol. There’s a reallllly good Ibox here all the 1frames and vortex loops and it. it. it just sucks. lol

@yannis: you know trouble never brews here - it **boils. **hope you’re doing a bit of burning yourself chap!

Despite the election results and overall bad social atmosphere, I’m well here in Athens. I’ve been burning and relaxing a lot. I can’t believe how much I missed good ol’ creamy Greek yogurt. We’re checking out the wedding venue next week and having a food and cake tasting. All I have to say is I’m probably coming back fatter!

@32 There’s a launch event for D3 going on at a mall on Tuesday. I might hit it up and see if they have a Mac version. I made Kim a B.net account and pre-purchased the game. I’ll look you up once the servers open on the 15th.

Posting to avoid the DEVIL. THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU.

good to hear it, hope there’s some pix in the works!

Bit late on getting to this (I should really lurk more frequently, so I can pretend to still be in the loop), but Blizzard games launch on dual-compatibility discs. You buy the same box/disc/SKU and it works on both Mac & PC.

Which region are you guys playing on D3, anyhow? I’m getting LIGHTNINGFASTSUPERPLOXOMG inter网 next school year, so it might actually be worth a shot seeing if I can play cross-continent.

Good looking out Twm! I did not know this. I think all I need in the end is a CD key really. Right now Kim and I are just swapping on her account on EU servers. We will be playing on US when we return to China. That’s where 32 is on as well.

Strangely enough all my friends here in the UK are on US servers for one reason or another, so it seems pretty unanimous between them, you guys, and (unsurprisingly) my American friends that I should be playing on them too. Welp, that was an easily made decision!

Of course, the UK is suffering a crazy Diablo 3 shortage right now. What shops aren’t out of stock are selling their copies for £55-60 generally. I never thought it’d be cheaper to buy it from the Blizzard download store (£45)! Bah and double bah.

Thumbs up for buying it on blizzard’s store. You have to link all current blizzard products to a battle.net account anyway. This way you don’t have to muck about with disks ever.

Anybody been bothered by the cops for passports latley? i heard its going on but hasnt happened to me.

I’ve heard the same, but haven’t had any problems. All the same I’ve been avoiding the typical laowai hangouts.

We heard that some shit went down and the police are out looking for illegals. I’ve got nothing to fear really as I am 100% legal but I’m not comfortable with carrying my passport around everywhere I go.

@Trouble Brewing I’d love to get my copy from the Blizz store but I can’t use any other payment option aside from the TW MyCards. I could change my account to Greece but I need to send them a utility bill proving I’m a resident. Too much hassle compared to buying the retail version. I think I can find it somewhere a tad cheaper too.

Have you guys been getting any games on? I’ve been itching for some FG action so I’m getting my fix by doing challenges on BBCS2 on my PSPgo. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve been too busy with school for fighting games I’m afraid. :confused: three more weeks then I can relax a little.

lol i feel bad for you guys just because some fucking drunk english dude fucked it up for the rest of you guys

none of that shit has been happening in the lower tier cities like xi’an where im at right now

yo where do i download arcade live i want to get in on this

also anyone else going to 合肥 on the 14th for the big invitational tourney? going there just to participate in the free for all and watch the tourney.

I’d love to, but I’m buried in tests until the 20th. :confused:

i am officially a scientist of computers! aside from any apocalypses, end of the world events or the like, i should be back around by the end of august.
