on JS.

^^^

i’d add a couple of zeroes to that bet

who’s Lord Magnus? You guys got another fat guy to replace me? I’m hurt =p

I’ll take that bet with JS.

psssst eric, I’ll give you $100 to lose on purpose.

yo u r all gona lose your cash u fucking forget that im lord fucking magnus!!!

hey guys

i’m from vancouver. where are the places to play 3rd strike around here?

Orbit and York U has 3S machines.

to be more specific, cuz you might not know where these places are:

ORBIT Entertainment Centre
4300 Steeles East,
Markham, Ontario, Canada
note Steeles and Kennedy, it’s in pacific mall (pmall) on the second floor. wkdays open till midnight (i think) and wkends till 2am. if you want to go after 9pm, the main doors are closed, you have to enter the mall either through underground parking on the south side, or side doors located on the west side (across the TD banks)
jap sticks
it’s token operated ($1 = 2 tokens, 1 token a game)
best times are play are generally friday and sat nights, weekday nights may have a few, but not so many ppl

York U Campus Cove
York University
190 Albany Road
4700 Keele Street
Toronto, Ontario M3J 1P3
note Steeles and Keele, it’s located in York Lane Malls. I forget the hours, but i think it closes at midnight. pretty dead on nights, especially since summer term is coming up.
jap sticks
coin0-op, 50 cents a game

Funland Arcade
I don’t know the address, i just know it’s dt toronto, near the eaton’s centre. it’s right across from Sam The Record Man
american sticks
good competition offered from our dt players
50 cents a game i think

loveghety arcade, located hwy 7 and leslie area in commerce gate HAD a 3s machine. it’s broken right now (or not there anymore).
jap stick, 50 cents a game

there are more places (i think) but this is generally where tosf plays

lovegety has two 3s machines now. they are in a different spot, not adjacent to the entrance like the old one used to be.

where abouts? i was there this past sunday and i couldn’t find them?

i probably shouldn’t have said “now.” maybe around 2/3 weeks ago they had 2 machines on the left side, closer to the counter, a bit further back than that gundam (?) game. i haven’t seen the old machine working in at least two months

edit: rather, the old machine was working last time i was there but had a different game in it

Beeeeeeiiiiiige!

Wrong on both points. Eric is just plain better than you, and you’re too memorable to forget.

Anyone know where I can get a good Japanese arcade stick for the ps2 in toronto? And how much?

The only good PS2 Japstick IMO is the Hori Real Arcade Pro. Fair price on play-asia.com (see link); fast delivery considering it’s from the other side of the world.

I would know because I’m the Jap Stick Master… or the JS Master for short.

I see and u can say this becouse u have played me b4 to say this and u have seen me play on american sticks, as quan would say BEAST!!!
PS: stop saying everyone is a beast…lol

curious if u guys are going to evo this yr?
know its long ways a way.

kinda bored here at school

Knowing the date might be helpful.

The HRAP2 actually has an authentic candy-cab button layout (the HRAP doesn’t) but IIRC the default button config is slightly different from the HRAP, so the popular Innovation DC converter may not work perfectly without going into the button config.

I don’t need to play you to know that Eric is better than you, on American sticks or not. If I weren’t so broke, I would money match you too.

i’ll money match lord magnus.
