West Coast Warzone - Irvine, CA - Sept. 4th-6th, 2009 - SF4 BONUS $1000 | KoF12 $500

I just listened to Gootecks’ podcast.

Cash bar at EVERY and ANY TIME during the event?

John Rog, you are fucking magical.

Sweet deal you got John.

I’ll be accepting bodybuilding money matches at the pool party from anyone except for Jaha, Ken I, Mike Ross, and Kryo.

ok john rog, i just heard the new gootecks podcast, and i have some MAJOR MAJOR beef that i need to bring up here and now.

the beef is with the use of this “new” and “hip” term SALTY. i’ve been hearing eastcoasters with their crazy eastcoast lingo starting to use this recently, and imagine my horror when i open up a podcast with some of my favorite west coast peeps and hear them throw this term around like its everyday language.

WHAT IS THIS?!?! THIS ISNT EAST COAST THIS IS THE WEST COAST.
the point is, we have our own style and lingo in and of itself, we dont need to be borrowing from anyone.

and so i propose the use of a much more fitting term, worthy of the fabulous west coast crowd. this term should be either SOUR or SOURFACED. as you know, there was already a history of calling out AI and other so cal players for munching on one too many sour skittles :crybaby:

so why not use this term instead?
WEST COAST DOESNT GET SALTY, THEY GET SOUR

please make sure to bring this to gooteck’s attention so that he have a discussion on the next gootecks.com street fighter podcast powered by ryan gootecks gutierrez who you may know from gootecks.com fame.

why is kai always so sour?

:E

a.

ewwww sour sounds wack, but. I do agree with it being shitty that gamers adpot EC slang I HATE HATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE godlike gdlike! GDLIKE! hate that fucking shit and everyone uses it.

Salty is an east coast thing?

I had no idea. Ryan said it, and it sounded funny so we kept going with it. Hmmm.

If Ruin isn’t feeling “sour,” what else can we say?

Also, isn’t godlike from Unreal and all the other games that started using those sound clips? Probably a lot from dota also. I do enjoy lingo origins :slight_smile:

Why so poo poo in the face?

  • My lame attempt.

I’ve never been to a big event, or any event rather… but realistically are you concerned about the introduction of alcohol to this event and what comes with it? Obviously people will be loose, and many people get confrontational when drinking. Worries that this + hype = bad things?

UMAD?

I don’t know about you but SALTY has been a term used around socal for a while…
:slight_smile:

Youre thinking too much

Or maybe you’re just not thinking enough. :stuck_out_tongue:

Salty has been around way before EC players started saying it, same with godlike.

lmbo at getting mad over a word

niggas is salty

Is that only because you know him or could someone like me, who nobody knows, show up and expect to have a TE stick to play on as well? :slight_smile:

Hey John, just sent you a PM.

I would think alcohol + hype = a lot of high fives and everyone having a good time…

“Salty” started with James Chen and Transformers the Movie (first one). lol.

I guess this is as good a time as any to state my world’s biggest pet peeve:
Crossing the line between expectation and appreciation.

I will have loaner sticks available of almost every variety and a few madcatz fightpads and I will be happy to let people borrow a stick if you don’t have one, obviously pending availability.

If you’re looking to borrow one of my loaners, I will absolutely not tolerate:
“Nah, I’m gonna wait for the TE.” What you’ll wait for is your next match because you’ll get the fastest fucking DQ possible. I get really fucking pissed even thinking about this. People who go about life expecting free handouts and don’t do shit can go and fuck themselves into oblivion twice. I worked my ass off for what I have. SO HELL CAN FUCK YOU OVER IF YOU’RE A FREELOADING VOID OF A SHITHOLE PERSON!

Certainly this wouldn’t be directed at you sandwichcookie, because you’re going to try and bring your own stick, but if you find that you’re unable to, you’re going to appreciate the fact that a tournament is actually providing loaners when no other tournament has. Right? Right :slight_smile:

Bracket runners will have access to the sticks and just ask them to see if they’re available during your match. However, if they see mash potatoes and your mashing looks like it will crush the longevity of the stick, it’ll be taken from you.

So in closing :slight_smile:
If you really have no other options and want to borrow a stick from my sets, please appreciate that it’s even available and enjoy the tournament. =D

Friends have already told me that I’m being too nice doing this, that people should know that BYOC doesn’t have a secret meaning or hidden message to not bring your own stick. Ultimately though, if it turns out disastrous, then I simply don’t do it again.

Don’t turn me into Kai. I don’t need to be a ball of negativity all the time. Help me help you and stay a happy kid :slight_smile:

Well, that’s why I asked ahead of time rather than just show up with my hand out :slight_smile:

Honestly, I expected you to just flat out say “no…”

You better put some sort of tracking device on them or those sticks are probably going to vanish by the end of the tourney.:looney:
