TENNESSEE THREAD : HOME of THE ANGRY OLD MEN and PO' FOLKS

She’s “ok”. Had surgery and is now home resting and on pain meds. Thanks for asking.

I got hit by a drunk driver with my girlfriend, completely totalled my Paseo (yes, the same Paseo I am still driving) about 7 years ago…completely smashed in the front up to the engine block, frame had to readjusted twice on it, took 3 months to get the car back from the body shop and miraculously even the paramedics and fire department and police department could not believe we walked away with hardly anything except some emergency oral surgery I had to get the next day from a tooth jarred in the crash, but the point is, drinking and driving = WTF…

I’m glad everything’s ok, Kodee.

Mass Effect 2 is the shit.

Also, I decided that Garou is much more my thing than KoF98. Also, I’d love to try Tekken 6 if anyone wants to buy or borrow me a copy. The price tag on it is pretty steep.

GGs to everyone that came out to Eddie’s gathering. It’s 5:48 am and I’m just getting back to Cookeville. Still it was a ton of fun and glad a decent amount of peeps could come out. Thanks again for the hospitality Eddie, and we’ll have to do it again soon.

Boo fucking hoo to everyone in Memphis for not playing SF4! No one save for Jay and Sev play the damn game. And to top it off, those guys don’t travel so they aren’t serious about it! Guess that’s how it goes.
I know so much about Tekkunz, it gives me nightmares. I wake up screaming NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO(Spanish accent) like Miguel!!! Thank God it’s just a dream, I say. Frame traps, throw breaks, movement, set ups, throw breaks, excecution, most punishing combos, throw breaks, side steps, frame data, safe pokes, natural combos, stupid gimmicks, blocking a low or parrying a low, throw breaks, blocking or neutral, just making sure I block correctly, ducking throws, getting hopped kick when I duck a throw, throw breaks again, gay 10 strings, whiffing something, punishing something that the opponent whiffs, Oki, Oki setups, Oki wakeup, Oki fucking omelete, shennanigans, Roger Jr., throw break…NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO(Miguel spanish accent) and I wake up again!! All this and I still don’t understand Tekken.

P.S. Kodee, glad to hear your girl is ok.

Just because holding d/b doesn’t beat almost everything doesn’t make it a nightmare :slight_smile: Learn to break throws, don’t duck unless you have to, and don’t backroll unless you know it’s safe. There, you’ve now eliminated the majority of your problems. Now take 30 to 60 SOLID minutes and practice learning to backdash cancel correctly and you eliminate the majority of the rest of those problems. :slight_smile:

And thanks for the concern about the g/f. She just gets to sit at home for a few weeks now being sore and pissy haha. No work for her, but gets to reposition her surgery-fied arm 239487234 times a day and sleep for 15 hours on hydrocodone. Sweet.

Yes thanks for coming everyone. Fun matches and peeps were having a good time. I had as much fun watching as I did playing…lol! Shit I think I had more fun watching, you guys are too funny. Saw some “GROSS ASS COMBOS”…

I will definitely do the gathering again. I’ll give you guys at least a week notice though next time so more peeps can plan to make the drive up here. I plan to have 3 setups ready so peeps don’t have to bring theirs over. I guess I should start it earlier next time?

Oh man Kodee, glad the girlfriend is recovering well.

Ya an earlier time and the rest of the Cookeville crowd would most likely be able to go. Good to hear about your girlfriend Kodee, hope the recovery is speedy.

Daytime gatherings are for losers. Nighttime is where it’s at. So the sex can come out.

And Eddie, do you have a beanbag I can sit naked in and play? I tried bringing mine to the arcade once but it won’t fit in my trunk :frowning: Step down from the Cadillac to the Impala in that category.

No I do not and (sherryjinx voice )no you cannot(/sherryjinx voice)

The REST of Cookeville, apparently, never goes to gatherings.

Good shit to everyone at Eddie’s yesterday. Sounded like fun! I’m stuck at work on Sunday. GAY!

:sad:

Gg to everyone i played Fri.

Man I’ve had a horrible connection to xbl all weekend, anybody else have the same prob? I’m guessing it’s my ISP :frowning: ggs and sorry for the lag to ppl I’ve played this weekend, not sure what’s up :frowning:

Kodee - glad the gf is aight ppl who drive drunk are just stupid

Excuse me, I know we all go to ranbats when possible and if this is directed at me I didn’t go to KiT because I’m a broke fuck but that’s about the only one besides that Memphis tournament I can think of. Can you please tell me what would make you say that we never go to gatherings because I’m a little confused.

When should I plan the next gathering?

You pretty much need an advanced degree in higher mathematics to be able to play Tekken. It’s that serious.

My apologies for having to cancel last week, but I’m not sick any more this week. So let’s continue.

If you are in the Cordova/Bartlett/Wolfchase area in Memphis I’m hosting an open freeplay session for SF4, Wednesday night, at Powerplay Videogames, from 7:00-9:00 PM.

We’ll be on 360, and bringing your own controller or stick is recommended. However, I will provide a Fightpad and classic controller for public use. If you play on PS3, and you are willing to bring your setup, please do. I’ll have to ask permission to get a second setup going, but the venue had no problem with it last time.

The venue is located at 841 N. Germantown Pkwy in Cordova, beside the Outdoors, Inc.

Good sportsmanship is expected, and please keep the salt to a minimum, as we are going to be in a public area. Format will be announced on-site, and will depend on the number of players who attend.

If you have any questions, you can email me at sf4memphis@gmail.com, or check my blog at http://grumble-and-mutter.blogspot.com/. You can also reply to me here, and I’ll do my best to answer promptly. Thanks for your interest, and I hope to see some of you there tomorrow night! Thank you.

DISCLAIMER: I am not employed by PowerPlay, Nor do I have any other affiliation with them. I’m simply working with them as they were willing to provide a venue for the event, and I’m trying to get more community events going.

anyone going to be at GG monday or tuesday?

I’ll be there from 10 to 3 on Tuesday.
