Oh snap… I work in San Rafael. Might have to swing by during one of those “I might be back in a couple hours and yes this is a completely irresponsible lunch” lunches.

Hey man, I heard about your Street Fighter IV set up and a friend of mine told me that you’re doing free play over there for that custom cabinet you made. Is this true? If so good stuff man. Is there any good competition going over there?

Pics?

I like the mix of concave and convex buttons.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
Just make sure that the X-Box360 is kept in good condition, because you don’t want any random RRoD happening to it.

Live right near it. I’ll be comin in there soon.

Do I sense sarcasm? lol

That would be cool. A buddy and I have been meeting there fairly regularly on weds. evenings from 9-12ish. We’ll probably be here tonight, I know I will with my TE stick. Can’t do the concave/convex frankenstein thing (sorry Bob).

I’d love to see some more competition come through once in a while. It’s always nice to play with folks who know how to play the game. I know there are players in Marin just on the down low. Get off dat xbox live and get out to the arcade!

Does it take tokens like an arcade cab?
Or is it an xbox inside of a cab?

No, no tokens. It’s an xbox inside of a cab with a hi-res monitor. I usually give Bob, the owner, 2-3$ for a couple hours. Im going to talk to him about having something more formal like Wednesday freeplay. Pay 3$ and play unlimited from say 8pm-11pm or whenever he closes. We’ll see. You should definitely come out and check it out!

How much does it cost? Metreon just got a similar setup for SF4 and it costs 50 cents for 2 minutes.

LOL. what a rip! That’s like 15$ an hour. Dude, it’s really informal now. Like I said earlier, I pay ~ 2-3$ for 2-3 hours of play. So maybe a dollar an hour. I know the owner would like more but it’s hard getting people to pay much more than that.

wednesday freeplay’s are on! with 2 TE sticks in the mix

Correction, its 25cents for 2:00. Still weak tho.

Hope to get some good practice in tomorrow night. Anyone else gonna show up?
