So guys, as if you needed any more incentive to play smash at mine, here it is...I NOW HAVE AQUA ON MY COMPUTER ZOMG.

The only evenings I can do next week are Monday and (maybe if my American Football kit fitting sesh finishes earlyish) Wednesday - I'm out every other night lol.

Safety/Outside Linebacker. We run a 4-4 D scheme so there's only one safety and the OLBs operate a lot like Strong Safeties anyway, especially in pass coverage.

Lol Hugo that's too far I agree, but still funny. How d'u even do all that stuff? Please teach me!

I can do today from 7 but only for a couple of hours - I have TONS of work due in this week (like stupid amounts) so it really can only be for a little while.

I am very tempted to pick up Melee...
If I did, would you gentlemen have the patience to teach me to play? I have almost zero experience with the game and would have to learn from nothing.

Hugo, I've read a lot of your posts on here and you sound like a pretty smart guy... so maybe Melee is worth giving a try.

More the merrier. I remember you being decent at brawl, so tech skill is the only barrier until you should be able to keep up.

And Hugo just sounds smart because he does philosophy, so explains simple ideas in really convoluted ways.

lol, Yea I know what you mean.
I used to study philosophy, complete waste of my time.

I've never been very good at Brawl.
When I used to play Brawl I never understood fighters or how to play them. Plus I never had anyone to practise with regularly, so all I was ever really good at in the game was techskill.
Yes, there is techskill in Brawl, just maybe not as much.

But the best way to write a Philosophy essay is to make it easy to understand so that doesn't really make sense. :|

Matteo et al., I have an entire essay to do in one day tomorrow (the reading for it as well as the writing) which is pretty awful even by Cambridge standards - we just happen to have a joke busy week work-wise. The essay is in fact a philosophy essay LOL, so Hugo your help would be appreciated. Title is: 'Explain and Evaluate Aristotle’s distinction in the Catagories between primary and secondary substance (οὐσία).'

Anyway, I'm sure I could have you guys over from 7-9ish again tomorrow - I'm aiming to have started writing by then anyway so it shouldn't be a problem to finish it off afterwards.

Auroreon: I'd be very happy to teach you the ways of Melee - I've taught people who've never played either game before so I must have patience in abundance ha. I'm sure the rest of the guys would also be more than willing to help you out. So yeah, if you ever want to come along to one of these feel free :)

Alex: in my experience philosophy essays tend to make very little sense whether they're written well or poorly :p

Lol, my next essay after this one is on primary and secondary qualities - not entirely sure what a primary or secondary substance is, though.

Alrite how is Sat eve for ppl? I was planning on getting the Pound V stream on during but it looks like there won't be one :( Still, we can follow the results of Melee doubles as we play. I'd also be up for getting pizza!

I think we're having a Greek Night at my flat then, I'll have to see if that's still going ahead (though I could still make afternoon till early evening).

EDIT: Turns out that was next week, but I invited some friends over from 6/7ish so I can only stay until then.

'Greek Night'?!? ROFL! Wtf does that mean? If it's all the ppl who study Ancient Greek plz invite me along ha! If it's Greek food related then I guess fair enough. Anyhow, Sat. eve/night is the only time I can realistically do apart from early eve on Sunday. Imo Smash>'Greek Night', so man up Hugo.

Also just so you guys know I've officially quit Fox - I will no longer play him unless I'm ****ing around/sandbagging. My new main will be...Jiggs. QFT.

Someone suggested we do something more obscure, like watch Scrubs all night, complaining about Turk, but alas, I think it will just be Greek food etc.

I'd probably be up for early eve Sunday :S

I'm actually free all afternoon till 5.30 but then I'm busy from then all the rest of the evening :( If you come as soon as you can we could still get a few games in.
