Except that WPI is a college filled with hundreds of 18+ geeky tech students probably dying to play this game.

I'm catching the commuter rail out of South at 7:50 am and going straight to WPI. I will hopefully be at the hall by 9:30, latest 9:45. If there isn't a line at the time, I'll chill out and walk around the area for a bit, but not too far. I'm dragging some friends along, and also meeting a friend of mine from UMass Amherst there.

If a morning train isn't your thing though, there are other trains that get into Worcester at 1 and 2 pm.

Hey, I'm a smash player from mass, ganon main, and I was wondering if your guys are still in class around St. Patrick's Day. I'm on vacation and I'm not a n00b, I practice with d20, swift, Takiedinne, and I've played renth a couple times.

This died when umass had vacation, but we have a good amount a people there now. We don't have a dedicated Wii for the gameroom though so we depend on someone bringing one in for there to be brawl now. We still have a good turnout almost everyday though.

Wow, I went into the game room today after ages of not bothering in there and had no idea this stuff was going on. Didn't think there was a smash community lurking about UMB up until the heads up from hitension . If I didn't have to go to class, I woulda joined in for a match or two, heh.

Hmm... If Joe P goes, I must go as well.

Actually, I'll probably be coming regularly next month, after AP tests. No Chem = more free time, plus Boston means parkour spots which means win.

Un-official forums for the game room. Really new so not many posts, but some people go there who don't do smashboards. Plus it has information about all the other things that go on in the game room. (Or it will soon xD)

I live in Taunton, and I have a hard time finding people to play. I'm not really friends with many gamers offline.

Are you still having smashfests at UMB? And I don't mean 2 or 3 games, I mean a few hours of smashing. I need to find some people to play with locally. I'm pretty good (Brawl).

If there are specific times when a lot of people are around, that would be good to know, since it's about a 40 minute drive for me.

I'm planning to attend EVO 2008, so offline practice is a must, as the input queue is removed.

@zach: matt comes for MMs, sometimes, and I here that steve still shows up. But there are always people there (though not enough for me to bring my cube in unless given a reason >_> unfortunately)
