Amazing! Ziv could turn this thing into a monster overnight.

Lol I'm actually already working on it. We basically started a project to do this exact same thing nearly a year ago. However I was mostly a consultant for the actual elo formula, advertiser, and data collector for backlogging .tio files. Since I'm not a programmer though we never really got anywhere, and the programmers we had weren't really making any progress. This guy just did it without even being a part of our team.

But now that he's got it going, myself and others that were on the elo team will be collaborating on it with him to make it better. I'm going to be uploading some brackets here tonight as well. You guys should be able to see your names on there shortly, if not by the time you read this.

Lol good job dude

I am a little salty I never got to play Arby in tourney this time, but I got outplayed by VTS in both sets (quite a large margin in the first set) so it's fine. I'm actually really glad I didn't win, I feel my recent victories have caused me to improve at a slower rate than I did before.
I DO wish my wallet was fatter than it is, though. The main thing I miss from winning Pathways XD

Vts wants to go and split the money like we did this weekend. So I have a ride :)

p.s. I am not a fan of splitting, but I do owe him a goodly sum for supporting my food addiction. Really, I only need this money to... further support my food addiction. Oh, and for possibly going to SMYM 13 in two weeks.

p.p.s. The Facebook page for this tournament is something scary.

ewwww

I like the above three posts.

http://www.nomachetejuggling.com/2011/11/11/the-star-wars-saga-suggested-viewing-order/
This sounds excellent. Basically, Star Wars should be watched as such: IV, V, II, III, VI. This order actually makes the prequels and last film better, begins with the strongest movies, and skips Episode I. He spends most of the post explaining why this is a good thing, and I'm convinced. Essentially, Phantom Menace doesn't introduce or explain anything necessary to the rest of the movies, and in many cases only confuses the viewer. Not to mention that it is a horrible film and worth skipping if possible.

I want to try this, but I don't know anyone except my mom who hasn't seen the series. And she's not going to.

I haven't watched 2 and 3. During highschool I marathoned the star wars in publication order but hit number 1 and couldn't go on.

I only have fun losing when I think I'm playing well, because then I'm thinking why am I even trying to win when my techskill is this bad.

I guess it's because I'm always trying to play my best. Although every now and then I have an uncontrollable urge to win, which boost my skills by a factor of 9000. A good example of this was shown at the pathways tourney last weekend where I took that match from Ziv. Other than that match I was playing like I just started the game all day long.

that urge to win was probably why my yoshi ended up be so awesome. I just can't accept defeat when I play yoshi. If you beat my yoshi, it's because I let you.

I can't imagin what it would have been like if I was listening to my powerup song at the same time.

Nah sorry, I have to do something for spanish at four.

GGs yesterday vice. You know what's strange, I enjoyed the falcon ganon matches the most even though I lost more of them than anything.

Yeah I agree. I had alot of fun playing your Captain Falcon, slightly more frustrating yet still good matches with your marth.

Fox...completely frustrating. Sheik, mostly frustrating. Still need to work on those two matchups. But falcon...I'm feeling good about falcon.

Also Arby,

you're much better in the Ganon match-up than you are at the Marth one :/

but Ziv has gotten a little better I can tell. VTS, stop sandbagging vs DK. You never drop that many hand-offs vs us lol

The thing about "not thinking" is something that makes me wonder if I use the right strategy. People maybe wonder if it's true but I actually NEVER think while Im playing. I don't know if this is leading to some good things but also some bad things.

Maybe not thinking is better for concentration but thinking is better to se habbits and you should not overuse any of them. Well I will follow the blog and rethink a lot of things to be sure Im doing the right thing =)

You should check this out then: http://www.animetake.com/hotarubi-no-mori-e/

It's from the same author as Natsume with the same studio animating (Brains Base). Sounds like a recipe for success to me. A new Madhouse movie was also just subbed from the screenplay writer of Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Summer Wars. Most pleasant surprises.

Hmmm... Arby didn't even look like he was trying most of the time why he was playing, except for VTS, then he was on the "How to Beat VTS" autopilot. It looks like VTS has gotten over Strongbad's DK shinnanigans also, which is good. Which I could have seen an Arby vs Strongbad rematch, and I wish Dark Atma was in attendance. Vice would have dominated MO (except Dark Atma) from the looks of it
