“Dios mio, que blanco!”
Literal translation: “My God, how white!”
I would translate the expression as “My God, how pale!”. It seems to me she was making a reference on your skin color more than your hotness.

You do realize that it’s really difficult to write foreign expressions properly that you don’t understand just by hearing them, don’t you? Think about that for a few.
Best part of the whole thing.
truly.
thanks for the read. very entertaining in between calls.
Awsome read. Cableguy part was funny, but man the Yipes money match was just too funny
I was just trying to be informative, you know.
This thread isn’t going to stay here~
Viscant:
Also, one of the best spectator matches went off and not that many people got a chance to see it. Yipes vs. Soo, the rematch in winners bracket in the tournament. The night before, Yipes beat Soo in a money match for $100 (yes, a money match that ACTUALLY happened) and it ended with someone (not saying who) punching the wall in Isaac Graham’s room and exclaiming out “why don’t I have the best Magneto anymore!!!” Again, not saying who said that, but Yipes won so…
Anyways, everyone who cared about Marvel huddled around for the rematch, but this would have been an AWESOME match to go on the DVD and I don’t think it will. Despite what anyone else partial to Soo will tell you, this was rape, pure and simple. First game, Yipes absolutely went off on him, killing his 1st 2 characters without taking a single hit. I was talking to Justin afterwards and he and I agreed that if Yipes doesn’t DHC out, he has a very VERY good chance of getting that perfect.
It was just the tone of the match that was so impressive to me. Soo’s Magneto was showing a LOT of fear in this match. Like once Yipes started rolling Soo started running. I’ve watched Soo play a lot of matches and I’ve NEVER seen him just try to survive through parts of the match like this. He wasn’t really trying to fight back or set him up, he just went into survival mode and got rushed the fuck down. I think Yipes really got into his head. It was a really really good changing of the guard match and it’s really disappointing that more people didn’t get a chance to see it; it didn’t even go up on the bigscreen. Very sad, because up until this point, this is far and away the match of the tournament.

This by far was one of the best moment of evo… I thought about saying lets hold it off until preppy comes but ah well. So many inside jokes about punching the wall happened later. hilarious
Yeah. Dr.B/Superior Tek album is really good. That night my friend Dr.B, Crescent X, Lax Tactics of Superior Tek my friend Neph and I actually witnessed Dr.B and Superior Tek get a couple of tracks off their album get played in a Vegas club called “Ice”. Congrats Dr.B and fam.
Anyway, good job on the log Viscant.

The art of subtlety has passed you by. Go back and re-read that part with the idea that maybe this guy from Southern Cali knows a little Spanish.

Good read, seriously though, you should of let Cableguy had it, how old was he, 15? I’m surprised Wigfall didn’t hurt him after dropping the shot in his shoes and saying all that shit about he can freestyle cause he’s black.
Excellent read, thank you.
Wow that’s a great log jay. I really have to try to at least meet up with you guys if I make it next year cuz it sounds like it was a blast.

Reading that shit makes me want to meet Viscant at next years EVO. Sucks that the matches didn’t got the way you wanted them to. That shit happens to me as well. I always have a good plan in mind and then I go the other route and lose.
Best part of that log was him faking the cellphone call to avoid playing Sebastian:
I got up to leave the area when I realized…hey, I might still be in this. The 5th guy didn’t show up giving me 2-2. The cocky guy with the video camera didn’t lose a match making Sebastian and the other guy 2-2 also. Playoff time. Here was where I made my smoothest/most underhanded move of the tournament. The guy running the pool had me and Sebastian playing first. I knew there was basically no way in hell I was beating Sebastian, so I reach into my pocket and made my phone ring and pointed to the Steve guy and said “hey, you go first, I have to get this”. Goddamn, I’m good.
