Utah Thread: Arcade Edition @ GameGrid

I won’t be able to make it to any of the GS tournies because I’ll be stuck at my house all day. Sounds like the area around here is still covered tho.

Utahsbowser is from Weber County (Roy), but he will be with me that day anyway.

My house will be open for gaming until pretty late, so feel free to come over when the GS tournies are over.

LOL I had trouble finding the time to even get it out of the box to check it out. I will get on Live sometime tonight (TUE). I may have to buy a wireless router for my 360 (which are 1/2 off at Circuit City, down to $50!). If I can do that, I’ll be on Live every night; if I can’t, my time on Live will be a bit limited. I’ll let ya know.

That’s Saturday, Feb 21 at 8796 Landover Cir. Sandy, UT, right? I looked it up once; you live close to my mother-in-law in Granite. She’s near the mouth of the canyon…Little Cottonwood or Big Cottonwood, I’m never sure which one it is.

I’ll see about making it that day, if even for just an hour or so. It’d be good to finally meet everyone.

Dana,

  1. Run a fucking long ass wire from your modem to your xbox. If you need a router, I may have an extra one around but it is NON WIRELESS.

  2. In addition, if you are going wireless, the xbox needs it’s own wireless adapter for like 50 bucks.

Yo Dana,

I’m actually going to the tournament at the park center Gamestop. I will not bee playing with Dash at the Crescent corners Gamestop, but that’s great, i’d rather he take the store, hopefully.

ALSO
****The Park Center gamestop told me last night they will have a limited batch of SF4’s today at around 10-11. I’m going to get there early, I already had mine reserved there.

This Gamestop said they were having some copies of the game this morning.

Is anyone else going to practice on a normal xbox360 controller since joysticks aren’t allowed in the tournament? I really wish I could use my damn stick. so lame.

I won’t be practicing on the xbox 360 controller been using it for last month so already use to it. Gonna work on my stick game.

I pmed FLexYoFace about my info.

THURSDAY FOR SURE MY HOUSE (MAYBE FRIDAY ALSO). Beers/Sodas/Pizzas, should be a great time. We’ll be starting early since I get off work very early like 2 pm until midnight.

BRING YOUR STICKS. I’ll try my best to set up another televsion but it won’t be easy.

Grrr

Is anyone getting the preorder bullshit from the Gamestops or Gamecrazies? First time I called GC I didn’t, but the guy now just did. I’m worried that they won’t sell it to people who didn’t preorder, but I didn’t bother preordering because I didn’t know who was really going to get it on Tuesday.

Mike,

Just roll into Gamecrazy when they open, and buy yourself a copy, he was gonna get a shitload in and went there personally.

had

I preordered mine, paid in full, they better have the collectors edition there. bastards. haha

I’m thinking about having you pick me up a collectors edition for the 360 and cancelling my GS order. However, I may just wait and not deal with the hassle.

had

The GC guy said they didn’t have it in right now but that FedEx is giving it to them today when they get their delivery.

And that he’d only do preorders.

Also: FYE gets it tomorrow. Their site doesn’t say it. But meh, we all want it TODAY.

I gotta shower and get out of here and check those Gamestops. I hope you guys are right.

Check the Walmarts dawg, that’s how you do it. I would stop by the Walmart/GameCrazy on 5400 south.

had

Also forgot to say, Walmart on 900 E and Taylorsville Walmart don’t have it today either.

I’m thinking only people who happened to preorder at T-ville GC or at Midvale or Jordan Gamestop are getting theirs. Those aren’t the places I’d have preordered at. Bleh.

I just got mine home, I got mine from

call them they might have more, they had a few collectors editions

My 360 just RROD’d right when the Capcom logo appeared.

Holy shit. Does it just affect the console, or does it affect the drive too?

Just got the game. Going to play it right now.

OMG mike,

Did you really RROD’d, that sucks totally man, usually just affects the console, your HD should be ok. Send it in ASAP though.

I got the CE edition for xbox 360. I’m hyped.

thanks for the advice. i checked it out. it doesnt look like they have anything for the ps3. now, i dont HAVE a ps3, but i am probably going to get one. im assuming id need to get an adapter.

i actually thought about making my own. the arcade that i worked at had everything i needed that i could probably get cheap. perfect 360s, convex buttons, switches, etc. the only problem would be the wiring. that and the box.

it would be like half the cost but im not sure if the saving money is worth it. plus the ones you mentioned you can play on dreamcast. which would be nice if i ever wanted to try and get marvel.

im sorry ive just not thought about this in a long time so i dont know how each joystick would connect and what id need.

UD and myself have made sticks in the past. I am actually working on a ghetto Happ comp stick w/comp buttons. It was going to be for PS2, but I’m not sure now.

All you need is a box, a working controller of the console you want the stick for, the stick and buttons, a soldering gun, the wires, a drill, a hole saw or spade bit…well, yeah. Maybe you need some stuff.

It’s a time-consuming process, but nice in the end. You can say that you made your own stick, and use all the parts you prefer.
