[The No Obots Club] - SE Michigan - November-January

Robo: I hear the sound of crying children who can’t get their way all the time because other people want to have fun. Don’t you?

(evil laughs)

CourageousTizoc and bookerd, you humans really want to challenge I, The Deity, in Magical Drop 3(sega saturn)? Very well, I will destroy the both of you. I’ll even let the both of you select my characters. The same goes for Super Puzzle Fighter. When ROBOTRON has FNG this coming Friday then, I’ll bring my Sega Saturn…and erase you all from existance. (evil laughs)

I, The Deity, will destroy ALL in:

Naruto 2 and 3
Super Puzzle Fighter
Magical Drop 3
Tech Romancer
ALL King Of Fighters
SNK vs.CAPCOM: Chaos
World Heroes Perfect
Mario Kart: Double Dash
Powerstne 2

I, THE DEITY, CAN’T BE DEFEATED! (evil laughs)

If I remember right, you were all too busy playing fucking dungeons and dragons to finish this bullshit when it came up last time.

It’s not our fault that your name is stupid and you’re not known for anything. Why don’t you cry yourself to sleep at some wrestling show with your internet pals.

That’s funny, i seem to remember kicking your ass in mario kart, clarence. To the point where when you hear the baby circuit song, you just curl into a ball and cry. But if you want to get beat down in powerstone 2, ayame and gourmand will be happy to help. Maybe I’ll pull out Team German, or the sinistar, or Money, or the big injun man, but you gotta earn your way to them.

:xeye: - Like I said, I guess I need another TV.

Unfortunately, I can’t accomadate everyone @ FNG…I don’t have enough tvs.

Ivy’s XBox could solve alot of these squabbles, because his one machine has mostly all games…but there is a joystick/pad problem…at least for me. Otherwise, I’d have his machine running up front on the tv all the time.

Then there is the Gamecube, which is very popular now because it has many NEW 4 player compatible games on it…unfortunately, half the peeps hate N3, MKDD, SSBM, OPGB3, etc. What am I supposed to do? I tried setting up something in the kitchen, but still there is drama.

Next month after tax return time, I plan to finally get a high definiton tv. When that happens, I will probably put the 32 in. tv upstairs and set that up as gameroom 2. Maybe that will smooth things out a bit. One can only hope.:cybot:

Kin, Let Them Bitches Bring There Own Tv.when We Played Halo We Took Are Gaming Gear With Us.[bitches Do The Same] Kin You Are Too Nice To These Grown Men Who Always Are Unhappy. Kin If The Fng Crew Wants You To Buy A Tv They Need To Bring You A Diffrent Hoe Every Saterday.thats An Even Trade. Act Like Men And Quit Cring All The Dam Time You Gay Bitches.

But he’s got the point. You can’t make everyone happy and its YOUR house (Robo), you should do what you want to do. No one should come into anyone’s house invited and then disrespect by sitting and talking shit about games that other people like.

Remember, half the people may hate Naruto, half of them LIKE it.

You don’t like a game? Fine. Say, “I don’t like that game.” Maybe give a logical reason or two. Discussion of whether or not a game is garbage is also good as long as you don’t take it to personal levels. “It’s gay.” does not count as a logical reason to dislike a game (or to sit and dis it at length when no one is listening to you anyway). But don’t walk into Robo’s house like you own it and throw a fit when things don’t go your way like a spoiled child.

Last time I checked, only adults went to FNG.

Well, adults and Uber. :encore:

As far as I’m considered, most of us don’t “get our way” any time, because there’s never been a time where any game most of us like was played all fucking night. Naruto people get couches and a big tv, where garou, alpha 3, samurai shodown, sc2, trilogy, and to a lesser extent 3rd strike and that fighting jam are relegated to a tiny screen in another room on folding chairs. Mind you I’m not saying we’re not accomodated, but when there’s 4 to 6 people in the living room for naruto for hours on end, and 12 to 20 in the adjoining room for another set of games, maybe the game that doesn’t change should get the lesser of accomodations.

As it stands, if we’re not going to cycle a game out every once in a while I might as well stay home; every chair in my house is an uncomfortable one, and I don’t own a couch, but at least the screens are bigger.

Clarence solved his controller problems.

I don’t want to sound like I’m busting your balls here, but for my count I don’t think you can call the gamecube “very” popular. There’s you and the set of average 3 people who come with Ubersaurus that are really the ones sitting on it. That’s 5 people. If pressed I can whip up 5 or more for Samurai Shodown, Garou, Alpha 3, or even Mortal Kombat, and if we wanted to be annoyed by internet idiots, I could get a large group of losers who play SC2 with bullshit settings.

Also, I can’t believe you put “NEW” is all caps there, like “new==good” or something. I don’t know what OPGB3 is, but DoubleDash is like a year old now, and SSBM is at least 2. That leaves Naruto.

I’m not stirring up drama here, but I didn’t say shit about this issue this time, so you see it’s not just me. I’ll sit on the floor, I’ll sit on a plastic chair, I’ll sit on a stool. All fucking day. Why? Because that’s what I’m sitting on at home anyway, and that’s what the usual people who are at my house are sitting on too, so it’s not a big deal to us, but to the people who are wandering the hall and kitchen area waiting for something they like to go on the tv where they can sit comfortably, that’s probably a big pisser. We’re playing one of what I’ll call for purposes of this argument here, one of “my games;” someone comes in and says “man this is trash” I don’t take it personally, and I ask “well what do you want to play?” then after a few matches or so we switch games to something the complainer wanted to go to. Henry- HENRY, NOT ME, mentions in passing how Naruto is garbage. I concur. What happens? “Someone” gets his fingerskin-biting panties in a fucking bunch and goes off on some tirade like “why you gotta hate?! blaaaaaagh!” like it’s my fault that not only am I more vitriolic in my hatred than he is in his support of the game, but that other people have come to the same conclusion I have. So fucking sorry that your game isn’t loved enough to warrant 8 hours straight play.

I don’t know, smash bros tends to get like 7 or 8 people playin on it, with clarence, potemkin, and a few others. But other then that, you are correct in that it’s generally like 5 people playing naruto, with others watching, or wandering out of the room in cycles. It’s fucked up when that game runs for like 2, 3 hours, but motw, smash, real bout, kart, or sam sho, or league bowling, stuff like that, can’t get played, because it’s simply ridiculous to have to pull out a room full of systems for one fucking game. Robo has a myriad of sweet as fuck games, as it’s been proved in the past, and other people bringing stuff like Clarence’s saturn, or scotty and myself’s SNES gear, or ivy’s xbox, there’s plenty of other games.

There’s only one game that’s gotten played there that really deserved the 2+ hours of play it got, and that was KOF 2k1, since EVERYONE who went, played it. A third tv may help, but honestly, if you just set the cube up to the little tv, put some folding chairs around it, and let the naruto players run on that, then it’ll solve the main issue, that is, limited access to the bulk of the gaming rig. A 3rd tv would just be nice if people were bringing stuff to hook into it (which, as I’ve already stated, happens often enough). It’s the simple solution. Hell, I, or damn near anyone, could bring along their cube to replace the one in the main room if smash, kart, pacman vs(dammit, we’re playing it sometime), or world fighters wants to get played.

Let’s be honest here-that much naruto is akin to me and brandon playing frogs n flies for 2 hours. Yes, we could do it. We’d have fun doing it. But everyone else would be bored silly just watching it, and since they’d keep leaving the room, no one would challenge for the tv.

Personally, if Ivy could get a PDP-1 emulator running on his xbox and got Spacewar! running, I would probably never leave that machine alone.

Edit: Mario Tennis is pretty new for the cube, and supposed to be pretty sweet, as I understand it. Smash is like 3 years old though.

MESS is the only emulator that does Spacewar. It is not on the xbox.

Didn’t know MESS wasn’t on the xbox. Ah well…MESS kinda sucks, anyway. I do know that someone recently hacked the craptacular Atari 2600 version to play pretty damn close to that one, though, and you can’t tell me there’s no 2600 emu on the Xbox. I can send you a link to the hacked rom sometime, it’s a pretty strategic game with the right gravity and speed settings. My buddies and I played the PDP version on a java emulator for damn near 5 months a couple years back, and it was a blast.

Yes, we should cycle thru different games 'cause everyone doesn’t play the same games as other people do. That way, EVERYONE in ROBOTRON’s house would have at least played something. If there’s a game you don’t like then, just simply don’t play it at all. There should be a new rule: Half hr. to 40 minutes on EACH game that’s played. That way, it’s GUARANTEED that EVERYONE in the house would have played something.

Now, about taking turns: For every 4-player game that’s played, the 1st. and 2nd. place winners should remain on the sticks while 3rd. and 4th. place losers should pass the sticks. It’s only fair.

Now, the T.V. madness: If you know that you wanna play some games, other than the people are playing then, BRING YOUR OWN T.V. This will definately help alot.

Well, that’s all I have to say about this. BTW, Ubersaurus(Kevin), you will NEVER defeat me in Mario Kart: Double Dash and Powerstone 2. All you gonna do is sit there and continue to talk and won’t DARE try and challenge me in those games. When I walk in the door, I wanna hear you say, “Let’s play Mario Kart: Double Dash and Powerstone 2, me and you, 1 on 1”. If I don’t hear that from you then, you’ll ALWAYS cowar when I’m around. This doesn’t just go for you but, FOR EVERYBODY! I ACCEPT ALL CHALLENGES! (evil laughs)

Yeah, saying something helps too. And by that, I mean, sitting in the back of the kitchen and bitching to your little group of friends. Way to speak up, I’d stepped away from the controller long enough and was mingling with the crowd. It’s not like I, or anyone else was trying to fucking keep the game going all night long. If you wanted to impress everyone with your knowledge of Xbox emulation, you should have said something. The group of us that do enjoy Naruto are SO sorry that we didn’t want to watch 3 of you play fucking Mortal Kombat 2, or maybe a few of you run some Soul Calibur 2. From what I remember, the fucking living room was FULL of people wanting to play Naruto, whether you believe the game to be trash or not. Congratulations, you don’t like something a bunch of other people do. I could give a shit. Next time be so righteous as to speak up and give a suggestion as to something you’d like to do.

I apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused you, Jessica.

Indeed.


When I said “NEW” I meant N3 and One Piece, although I mentioned a few other games in that sentence, they were mentioned for their 4 player compatability…I rather thought that statement would be common sense.

People who play N3:

Me
Techno
Clarence
Potemkin
Biz
Sonya
Ramone
Hollow
DeAngelo and I believe MOK and a few others. Thats more than 4 or 5.


Clarence comtroller problem was solved. A lot of good that funky gizmo did me and Techno…we tried it, it did not work.


I think next FNG I will try Deity’s suggestion…I think an hour for each game is fair, lets say we change games on every hour, no exceptions. For example…9 to 10 SC 10 to 11 Naruto, etc. Come 1 minute b4 the hour…give up the controllers, we’re switching games, no excuses. No:

Well I only play KOF once and so and so got 2 turns.

None of that sh*t. Also, If you were last one on the controller…get up when ther is a game change, no:

I won the last game, so I should have first go on the next game.

Room majority picks next game to be played. If you mf’s act shy and sht and can’t make up your minds or if there is a tie “I” (ROBO) will cast deciding vote. Don’t like it…too fcking bad, shoulda said something.

Expect to play certain games at FNG? Get there at a decent time. For example, if we play Naruto at 10 to 11 and you arrive at 12:30am…don’t complain that you didn’t get to play Naruto…that simple.

Please…If a game is being played up front and it is one your not too fond of don’t crawl in another room and bitch all night, speak up. And if you still don’t don’t get to play the game you want to play, speak up again. I have never REFUSED to play a requested game as long as more than one person wanted to play it. It could even have been a game that I don’t particularly like for example CVS2…but I will still attempt to play it or at least get out the way so people who want to play it…can.

After I make these adjustments I hope things will improve. I spend cash and put a lot of time and effort to give everyone free gaming and in most cases free food and drink and a place to hang out with everybody…all you gotta do is find a way here…geeze.

I did bring my own screen. You’ll recall it’s the one you got your ass beat in trilogy on.

Ooh, ice burn. Way to sign your posts; did your last girlfriend leave you because you were too much like Dominic? What’s the countdown on this current one?

Since you’ve outed yourself as the yutz who couldn’t take it when someone didn’t like his game, I guess there’s no point in dancing around that; every fucking time naruto’s been going on for hours at a time I’ve said to fucking everyone “let’s play something else” or “new game!”

As for “bitching to my little group of friends,” I was concurring (AGREEING) with Henry (meaning that he was the one who brought it up) that the game is shit. You think it’s just me that doesn’t like it? It’s not. And I can’t attest to it either way, but I’m sure at least one of the people who were out in the living room were waiting to play it because it was the only thing they had a fucking chance in. Room 1: Ulysses and Deandre beating the shit out of everyone in CFJ. Room 2: Brett and I beating the shit out of people in trilogy. Room 3: La de da prance through the daffodils jumping projectile fest with higher controller turnover, (also, Clarence: what the fuck is this first and second stay? First player stays because they’re the winner. Everyone else changes because they’re the losers) lower learning curve, and comfortable seating.

“Impress everyone with my knowledge of xbox emulation?” What the fuck are you talking about. I apologize that I mod xboxes, but I don’t see what the fuck that has to do with shit. If we hook up my fucking xbox its because there’s shit on it that we want to play. By that same token you pasty anime fag, nobody is impressed by your knowledge of stereotypical action anime #4037.

And thanks for admitting that you didn’t want to give up the fucking tv, thus blowing a big fucking hole into your “we all love sharing if only you’d say something” bullshit. You don’t want to watch us play mortal kombat? Good, go back in the other fucking room and talk about “one piece” or whatever the fuck else you give a shit about. You don’t want to watch anything we want to play? Good, do what we do when that happens, go in another fucking room; if it’s good enough for us to do it, then its good enough for you to use it as well. Your “living room full of people” would likely take a round in anything that went onto the fucking screen.

Now i will clear some issues for Kinn’s defense. Really he doesn’t have to do this. He even put his date on hold one time so he can have ppl comeover. And he does provide food and drinks. And about the second tv issue, up until recently not that many ppl came to FNG. Why have two tvs when only 4 or 5 ppl are gonna come.

Now I will admit that I don’t play much Nartuo. But to each his own. That goes for everyone

You got your old school gamers who enjoy the classics
You got your Halo2,GTA, and MGS3 freaks
Your sports fans (football,basketball, WWE fans)
the FPS
RPG Fanbase
Shooters (Robo)
Etc. etc
Hell u even got your foot fans (Deity)

That is what makes us different.
I didn’t like SSBM at first until I got a Cube and bought the game. I probably like alot games others don’t.

I think I’m the only one in the world that plays Art Of Fighting2

But that’s besides the point.

I hear it all from ppl bitchin about games to players gaming styles.

GROW UP OR SHUT THE FUCK UP!
I say.

P.S. Robo I think ur doing a good job with FNG! Keep it up

Like I’d said before, I could give a fuck what you want to think about Naruto, or anything I may enjoy for whatever reason. You don’t decide what’s good or what’s bad for me, and neither do I for you. I’ll continue going to FNG, enjoying what I do, and ignoring your presence as I should have in the past. Peace the fuck out.

Indeed? Indeed what? You all act like I’m a timid fucker. I spent weeks saying “lets play a new game” then when this “here’s a tv in another room” stuff came up, I used that tv, but I still said lets play a new game. Does it ever do any good? No, it doesn’t.

The context of the sentence was that they were popular because they were new. If they are to be taken separate from their preface then new should have been mentioned afterwards.

I won’t go into detail about disputing this list, but Hollow doesn’t even come over anymore.

You missed my point. My point was that when Clarence wanted to use a different controller, he went out and bought an adapter. There are plenty of adapters out there that aren’t based on all-digital saturn boards that will work. Failing that there are also plenty of universal sticks. When the damn dreamcast came out everyone complained about the pad being shit. What did they do? They learned to use it. I learned to use the xbox pad. If you can’t or don’t want to, there are plenty of options for you, but being that I have no money I can’t be instrumental in you pursuing them.

Look, don’t bother officiating, because it only ruins the whole thing. But just like real voting, this “majority rules” thing doesn’t work when most of the fucks don’t commit to anything. That’s what we call the status quo. When a lot of people will play whatever is up at the time, or have played it in the past, there’s no need for majority rule. Let’s play naruto. OK, then 2 hours later, hey, me and so-and-so want to play some whatever. OK, then after a while somebody else says “anyone want to play real bout?” or some shit like that. This majority rule switching is like standing there saying “if someone doesn’t want to change games, give me no sign.”

And because of those differences one set of games should be relegated to the back of the fucking bus?

Yeah great, because I’m the fucking villain. Look, nobody thinks he’s not but you’ll notice I’m not the one who brought this shit up, I’m just the most vocal about it. Whatever’s on the main tv gets played by basically the whole group. Everyone’s particular games, where possible, should get exposure to the whole group, otherwise what’s the point. If me and a couple other people are just going to have to sit back in the back room all night, why bother showing up?

EDIT:

If that’s true, why did you blow the fuck up when Henry and I were talking about it? Why did you try to turn it around on us to no success when we came out to hook up SC2 on the little screen?

You sure you don’t want to tell Jesus to bless me or something? Go off on a tangent about the 3 levels of otakuness and how a shaman found you in an alleyway and told you the secrets of the 2nd tier?

(evil laughs)

FOOLISH FLESH CREATURES!! I, The Deity, forsee 2 humans going back and forth argueing. (evil laughs)

BTW, here’s something that none of you youngsters here remember…MACRON 1!

http://soundamerica.com/sounds/themes/Cartoons/J-Q/macron1.wav

I meant “Indeed” one should speak up. I elaberated on that in the following post. Speak up and keep speaking up. Sometimes I forget.

Ivy, You are by no means “timid”.

Sigh…ok. I will try to be more careful with my diction in the future.

Okay…I’ve said this before to everyone…If you have a better suggestion on how game selection should run at FNG, I would be glad to hear any reasonable suggesstions, but please don’t say: “Your way sucks” but then won’t suggest or provide me with an alternative.

I don’t think your the villian here Ivy, sometimes being critical is how things get better…as long as it doesn’t get personal. (you know…like personal insults on ones character)
