So glad to be home. So sorry to hear about your ER visit though, Crystal. You were an awesome source of support for the whole weekend, and I feel bad that you’re going through that right now.
A few things:
– So glad to see all the Nashville cats out there. It’s nice having someone there cheering you on. I wish I’d gotten to play Jacob and Josh, but I was so busy all weekend. Good job to everyone who went out there and kicked ass, and grats to Jas for giving Tokido a hard fight. Btw, Squabb… he plays the same team you do. Ask Jas for pointers. Absolutely amazing Wolverine, and an even better Akuma.
– w00t screamed like a bitch when I woke him up Saturday. It was awesome. Had fun hanging out with him and Jon. I’d definitely do it again.
– For the love of god, can someone who was there PLEASE tell these guys how awesome I did about Combofiend? Jacob? Josh? Crystal? Anyone? Seriously, I wrecked his shit both times right until his Spencer came out. It’s SO weird. I’d be pissed about going 2-2 if I hadn’t got knocked into losers by him. I’m a little salty about losing to a random Arthur player, but I wrecked a top 10 player in casuals, so I feel pretty good overall. I should have finished top 50 at least, and Jas even higher.
– On the subject of Jas… well, I’ll just let him tell you himself.
– I ended up breaking even the whole weekend. Actually, I made $22, but still. Final Round didn’t cost me a dime.
– Speaking of modding, Keits personally invited me to come mod at his tournament in late May. Woot.
– Which reminds me: Kurasa is a close friend of mine. Anyone who messes with Keits and Kurasa ends up on my shit list.
– Every Phoenix I saw there was fucking shit. All of them. Clint, Darrian, Filipino Champ, mike infinite, Ricky… all of them are shit. After mike infinite got lamed out by toomuchdamage, I pulled him aside and told him how to deal with that shit. Dude looked like I’d given him the holy grail. I thought he was gonna hug me.
And one more thing before I pass out into a coma: Jas is fucking godlike. I couldn’t have asked for a better friend and source of support for the whole tournament. Combofiend saying I had the best Phoenix out there was one thing, but having Jas at your back makes you feel like you can take out the whole world.
Everyone at FR. Good stuff to 10x for placing high SSFIV singles. Pat for bodying people in MvC3 with half his buttons configured wrong. Andrew for beating M. Ross in SSFIV singles and putting him in losers. Shawn for reppin that ‘Sim on stream. Chris for reppin that Bipson and beating Air in casuals and stuff. Jacob Sparks and Phil Shin for teaming up with me in SSFIV teams. Majin for winning Guilty Gear, Cody for reppin that Tek’. Atl for having the hypest tourney in the South, hands down…
Duckie I actually added Akuma to my team after watching Tokido play I wont add sent to the team though not because of pride or anything I just have more fun playing Dorm, I also found a bunch of shit with wolverine in training mode especially with berserker barrage found a damn near infinite with it(need x factor lvl 2/3 though, you can use also berserk charge that will give you about 4 loops before super but I prefer not using the meter)
@ Duckie: Dude, you were shorter than the mental picture I had of you.
I couldn’t make it out to Buffalo Bar Fights tonight - baby momma asked me to keep my son after school and overnight so I’m spending the evening with both my kids instead of driving out to the Hixson B-dubs.
I watched the first season, Blood & Sand. Marathon watched it the weekend before it was taken off Netflix. I should watch Gods of the Arena since its on there now.
Simple way to fix it is to turn it on, and if it still has RROD is to unplug the fan until it overheats. You can’t break it this way in the way that you can with a heat gun. Keep the console uncovered when you do this so nothing else gets overheated. It should only take about 3-5 minutes for the 2 lights to come on. Theoretically, this causes to solder to liquefy and “fix” itself but I don’t believe the safe operating temperatures for the console get hot enough to actually melt it. Refer to Duckie for more detailed information about solder and how it works. For some reason it just works.
The correct way to fix it is to reflow. Those stations are pretty expensive, and I think any local pc repair shop would charge 30-50 just for the reflow.
Just so you know, this is a temporary fix. Could work for a few weeks, or a few years. The only real way to fix it permanently is to reball it, which is even more expensive than just buying a new system.
Beat Tokido in Marvel casuals. That’s probably the high point of it for me. Man, did I choke on stream, too.
J Ford: I’ve said it before, but I really can’t thank you enough. I’ll catch you soon, dude.
Jas and Duckie: My boys. Marvel can be a pain in the ass, but it’s too fun to quit. I don’t care if we’re the last 3 people left playing it in the corner at FR XV, I’m sticking with it. Good shit on taking out some names, too.
Chris Beezy: <4
Young Spoon and Mrs. Crystal: Always good to see you guys. I really wanted to see Josh play that 13 year old Fei Long, but I’m 90% sure that won’t be the last time they’re at the same tournament.
Jacob Sparks: Dude, maybe we can be pro bowlers or something, I dunno.
So glad so many of us could make it. Always great to see you guys.
-Team Bitch Hair handled their business. Glad Shawn could make it in time and props to him and Andrew West for reppin with me. We each got an OCV. Mine was a Miami Team!
-Also, Andrew, GOOD SHIT sending Michael Ross to losers! I’ma give him shit about that for a while, lol.
-Pat - Good ass shit in marvel man! You are a beece. A BEECE. Next time you’ll get the right super and take out Cali’s Team
-Phil - good seein you man and good shit in Gear! Also thanks for providing moral support in my Loser’s Bracket matches. It helped a ton.
-Cody and Terell - Y’all went the hell off in Tek! I was getting too hype watching you guys in Finals. Cody that low parry gave me a boner.
-Jacob F. - Always a pleasure kicking it with you sir. Good shit in both SF and Marvel teams!
-Bonus shouts to 10x and Shawn for being the highest placing TN DOODS!
Finally just an overall shout out to the TN Fighting Game crew for being amazing. Glad I can call so many of you friends outside of the games. Let’s keep grinding and making noise at majors!
Also thanks for BDay wishes! I’ve just been kicking it, using today to recover from FR, lol.
Iquick- thats how i pick em. LOL @ those vids. MARVIL!
Duckie- I’m very cool with you but think about what you are saying about combofiend calling the best phoenix… The other Phoenix players can’t be trash cause i think all of them made it to the stream. (Real Talk)
Shoutouts to everyone from TN that made it to FR and back safely. Good seeing you there
You’re just trying to bait me for a money match. Besides, having the best Phoenix doesn’t do me a lick of good considering my Sentinel and Dante are FRAAAAAAAY
(Oh, and really. They all sucked. All of them.)
(Oh oh, and good shit getting top 20 in T6 and GG.)
I quick. I got all those washers and I already had the heat sink gel from my computer repair crap. I was just wondering because on one guide to use a heat gun over the cpu for about 5 mins moving then another just said clean the cpu chips and replace the x clamps with screws. So i was just wondering.
God damn cant post anything in this thread with out the usual haters coming out of their caves, How do u know Combofiend says that to everyone I doubt that. Duckie more likely has a good Phoenix. One guy gets some props for his play from a respected player “OH NO THAT CANT BE TRUE!” you guys just sound jealous if anything
