WHERE: Rogue Ales Public House - 673 Union Street San Francisco, CA 94133
WHEN: Tuesday, July 12th (7/12) from 7PM - Midnight (they close at 12)
WHAT: Super Nerd Night is a monthly gathering of a bunch of great people who just want to play games! There will be board and video games and the emphasis is on having a great time (saltyness and rage need not apply!).
A current fighting game tournament will be hosted (MvC3 was 2 months ago, MK9 was last month), but please keep in mind a majority of the participants are extremely casual players in it for fun, NOT HIGH LEVEL COMPETITON. There will most likely be a surprise prize for 1st place. It will be on Xbox, controllers and TE sticks will be provided, you’re welcome to BYOC though.
Aside from MvC3 there will be other video gaming in the back. Last month there was an Xbox setup and they were playing KoF98 (if memory serves), Little Big Planet, and there is a high demand for Super Turbo if we can get a setup arranged. I will be bringing my PS3 setup with 2 sticks/controllers and SSF4 AE, SSF2T: HDR, MvC3 and MK9.
Additionally I have a ton of old consoles with fighters that I’d be willing to bring along if there’s enough demand for such a thing.
Please keep in mind space is limited and the focus isn’t exclusively on video gaming, there will be plenty of awesome board games too!
I’m not sure if they’re strict about 21+ if you’re just hanging out (100% sure they are for the purposes of buying liquor), so you might want to call and check. The times I’ve been they haven’t had a bouncer at the door or anything.
There actually wasn’t a tourney last time due to a lack of people (they were mostly playing board games). In April it was SLAMMED so they ran the tourney. Things tend to get started by 9 or 10 since the place closes at midnight.
In any case you guys should stop by for casuals and board games too!
There’s not a whole lot of fierce competition (myself included in that statement…) just to warn you. Like I said in the original post the people at this gathering play for the lulz, not high level competition.
