The Orlando Thread: CEO Tourney This Saturday 4-23-2011

played the mk demo today at a friends for like 5+ hours. pretty fun so far. im sold :slight_smile:

thanks on the feedback for the 3DS guys… It pretty much all depends on how much overtime I work this week which will dictate whether or not I get it. I might actually have to miss out on Barfights this week due to work being shortstaffed, but nobody wants a free win anyway I’m sure =) I haven’t touched my main since the tournament in Tampa last month, I don’t think lol. If I can’t make it, I’ll almost surely swing through to catch the 2nd half of the action. Props on donating to the disaster, couldn’t be for a better cause.


Jebailey just told me Wolfkrone is confirmed for CEO! That’s excellent news. Top players draw top players. Can’t wait to see what the pool brackets look like come June!!


I’ll read the CJ article here shortly.

Lucky for you we play casuals every thursday over by UCF!!!

there should be about 8-10 of us there normally(assuming Nestor doesn’t have to work, and in which case i’ll take over hosting then.)

Btw shuma is gdlk. I’m going to miss you hulk :frowning:

psh i was in the crowd son… you and your u t00bs are so far behind…

Jeezus. Homefront JUST came out on Tuesday and is already down from $59.99 to $41 on Amazon & Walmart.

If anybody has any interest, have at it: Homefront just $42 from Walmart, Amazon | Joystiq

Reviews (which aren’t awful) here: Homefront for Xbox 360 Reviews, Ratings, Credits, and More at Metacritic

I haven’t played Homefront or the demo. The most I know about that game is that its a shooter. How many shooters come out per month? Too many. Dropping the price is possibly the best option. I don’t know. The last shooter I bought was Halo 3. I can’t have too many of the same/similar games.

looks like it should be called Call of Duty: Red Dawn (this joke has to have been made somewhere else before)

i noticted that too…too bad i barely have time to play agmes as it is…sooo many good games to play killzone 3, uncharted 1 and 2 dragon age 2 and homefront smh.

tony u play mk9 yet? the demo is suprisingly very fun…i only played as subzero so far but i love it. ima be all about mk9 and mvc3

Kotaku, the Gamer?s Guide this is reason enough for me to get one.

@Dro - nah, I still haven’t played the demo yet, dude. I’m hearing the 360 demo will include 2 extra characters, Cyrax & Kung Lao. I believe it, since the price we have to pay as 360 owners (or non-PS3 owners), is that we’ll have to wait a significant amount longer to play it. I’m gonna soak it up big time when I get it. Everybody that I’ve talked to thus far has had more positive things to say about the game than negative… don’t expect those 50+% combos to stay in the final product lol. I’m predicting in advance that my main will be between Kung Lao, Mileena and Stryker (my UMK3 Stryker was BOSS).

@Carlos - nice! The 3DS is looking cooler and cooler as each day goes by. I’ll probably wanna test one out first before I drop the cash on it. There’s just so many damn gaming options available now…

EDIT: @MK9 demo players — stick or pad, thus far?

i’ll probably go with kabal, I think i saw he was in it, Cyrax is a maniac and my old school main BAraka.

Lol I love it…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, bitches! :bottle: :tup:

Re: MK9 straight pad. stick feels way too akward and i don’t want it to fuck me up in other games haha. Mileena is feeling really good right now, but i’m still stickin by my main souls da ermac.

@ St. Patty’s day GDLK

Nice to see i’m not the only one who thinks this around here

I close today so I may not host until late tonight, which would be around 10:30 or so. I’ll post an update later on in the day.

well if you don’t mind i can take up hosting responsibilities for the evening. I can start at like 6:30 but i may have to boot you all out at like 11:30 due to work the next day and all :S

Be warned no matter what happens i will prolly be really drunk wearing green playing Celtic Punk rock all night.

yeah, I’m leaning towards pad before I even play the game. I’ve played MK games (at home) on pads since 92. I hope it works well with the Mad Catz SF pad, because that pad is ludicrously comfortable imo. I’ll try both — but I’m thinking I’m gonna stick to my roots and go with pad. Ian had a good point about the block button, it just seems more intrinsically in sync with holding a shoulder button to block than holding a button on a stick.

I am personally in favor of this plan; my schedule’s still all fucked up from Final Round, and i want to get some sleep tonight.
