Yea JB. Make sure you got some flyers I can pass out and post up. Theres FullSail reach out to as well as this insanely popular comic shop nearby. Hopefully things are alright for hosting tonight on Nestors part cuz I wanna swing by.
Thanks man and yeah you must mean A Comic Shop. Had dinner with the owner last night and gave him flyers. He’s having a Marvel vs Capcom 3 Free Tournament on Saturday. It has like 200+ people saying yes on the facebook event page Welcome to Facebook - Log In, Sign Up or Learn More
I have to work though so I can’t help. And they’re only gonna have 6 setups for 200 people lol. It’s free so it’ll be full of cough scrubs cough, but it should be a fun tournament. I may host a future CEO there so I can start streaming again.
Looks like I need to order my cthulhu board sooner than I thought.
I knowwwww, right? Jebailey shot me a text yesterday after I posted the Challenge Tower link…
Google: Wow the challenge tower is amazing
Me: Sarcasm? lol
Google: No asshole I’m serious lol
Me: Me too, bro, me too. $20 I’ll get it first? <<I meant I’ll get the 300 in-game challenges first, but he thought I meant a copy of MK first>>
Me: Provided you don’t get a copy 9 days b4 me lol
Google: I will get it first lol. And ask your unreliable friend for an early copy haha
Me: Ouch lol
Lol. Just dissing your friend for not being very helpful to you when Marvel Came out early lol.
Anyways so I truly am excited for Mortal Kombat and well believe it or not, through a connection I got to speak to ED Boon Directly about CEO and he was very honest with me in that they don’t really have any interest in the hardcore fighting game community and they prefer to reach out to the completely casual crowd at big conventions and such so I don’t see any CEO Support coming from Midway :(.
EDIT OH SHIT OH SHIT. Mortal Kombat 9 Demo coming to PSN March 8th for a week…

A Comic Shop is legit for how small it is. I went there with a friend last week and they had some known artist there. The place was packed. As for the MVC3 Tournament, I believe its round 2 of a previous one. I’ll go there anyway, since I live right next to it. Plus, its a good thing if its filled with “scrubs”, they prolly havent heard of CEO yet.
BTW, I think the Tower Challenge of MK just turned me off even more. R&D and Money that couldve been spent more on the core game. I’m reminded of the “Adventure” mode of Tekken 6. Whatever tho. I’m still on the wait-and-see boat. Hopefully the game turns out great.
@ tony: hope you have a ps3 for the mk9 demo. looks like i’ll be trying out playstation plus.
Midway doesn’t own MK silly. It’s WB now
they went defunct last year
I’m not 100% sure if it’s gonna be the wisest move for me to spontaneously go out and get a PS3 just to be able to play the MK9 demo 1 week before it’s available on XBLive, as well as the (free) PSNetwork.
So, who am I buying drinks for to get some demo practice time with’em on their PS3? :lol:
Sorry Ian I meant WB. And Tony, not sure where you saw Xbox is getting the Demo but From What I’ve read it’s not at all. It’s coming to PSN PLUS members first on March 8th, then a week later to the rest of PSN but not at all for Xbox live.
From the link you posted: " * Mortal Kombat 9 Demo On The Way! Playstation Plus Exclusive 3/8-3/15 then it opens up to Everyone else, Including Xbox Live Users*
But, as you stated in your text… there is an asterisk
Which means that it may not be 1 week later exactly for XBL members, but it is coming. Either way, I’m just happy a demo is coming. I won’t make a big deal out of it, since I’ve only known about it for 90 minutes lol
I hope the demo is more than just 2 characters like the SF2HDR beta (Ken vs. Ryu) — that shit got terribly old after a few days.
Pez, you can buy me those drinks. I have Playstation Plus and I’ll have the demo.
@Google, I want a CEO T-shirt!! XXL please.
I’ll be at Nestors tonight if he is still hosting. I’ll swing by once I get off of work.
Yeah No clear Announcement for XBox yet actually so who knows if it’s coming at all but I hope so too. And if you had a facebook you’d know exactly what the DEMO Includes lol:
“The demo includes four playable characters: Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Johnny Cage and Mileena, along with their Fatalities and X-Ray Attacks; two environments: The Pit and The Living Forest; single player and one-on-on…e versus modes; and stereoscopic 3D support.”
@Jebailey - thanks on the demo details.
@Irvyn - I’ll be there with booze in hand, buddy lol
Which model are you in the market for?
I’m sitting on a precon PS3 Cthulhu I’m doing nothing with right now.
I’m sure there will eventually be an xbox demo. But prolly not for awhile. They are actually working pretty close with Sony on this game. Pretty apparent, with the Kratos exclusive and the 3D viewing mode. Most likely in exchange for marketing. Sony themselves are promoting the game quite abit.
What do you need it for? Don’t you have most fighting games on 360 anyways? Although you do have 6 and DR for PS3…
He probably needs a dual mod for Final Round…just like pretty much all of Orlando GOING to Final Round…coughincludingyourstrulycough
Is Nestor hosting tonight. I’m still coming out to the UCF area for dinner so I’m down to play games anywhere and if he isn’t hosting and noone else is I’ll go play Marvel at Rocky’s on their Big CRT.
I don’t need it for Final Round per say, only decided to play T6 since my team for Marvel has been changing too much. I just would want to get it done sooner now that Rico is going back to Texas at the end of March.
Not everyone has a 360 that hosts.
