nah, it would be a name basically to replace teen titans. except more specifically toronto since we always travel and have smashfests together and whatnot.

edit: josh, before i install windows 7...is there any quick way for me to tell if, say, my graphics card will suddenly stop working? or should i look up all my hardware and google it...

Windows 7 comes with built in generic drivers for most if not all cards and onboard GPU. We pretty much have the same laptop and I had no problems with it so you should be fine.

If the OS doesn't have the drivers for the video card you have installed, it can always fall back on the integrated GPU... this usually only applies for Desktop computers though.

Ok, thx I.B.
can we meet up or something at islington station on thursday just in case, Imadh?

Oh and Adnan, if u can house me I apreciate it, but Id have to leave like REAL early or something for me to get prepd for flight, anyways, if none else is gonna crash, I dont think im going to, either
I would...but honestly I'm low on change/cash and Islington is out of the way for me.

I can give you my cell/house number just incase?

Just remember:
Islington Station
#26 Mississauga transit bus

You will pass Mill road, Dixie road, Tomken road, Cawthra road, and Mississauga Valley blvd., his street is called Arista Way (it's before Hurontario). Since you're heading west on Burnhamthorpe, you will go South (left) from where you get off and walk down to the end of the street. His building will be right infront of you, I forget the exact address.

yeah, people are still going to york tomorrow.

on the way home someone said 'torontosaurus rex' and we all seemed to agree that that's a cool name and could replace 'teen titans'. and we could make new sigs and stuff.

The whole point of changing the crew appellation was to filter out the people who aren't active anymore.

(and to legitimize this awesome new idea)

People like Grmo, Afro, Peterx, Marco, Adnan, etc don't go to U.S. national tournies to represent our country on a semi-regular basis like we do.

The new crew should represent the few that have put in the time/effort/money into livening the scene up and traveling over the border to show the States we have talent here in EC. Now alot of people are starting to remember names like Unknown522, KirbyKaze, I.B, and Sanuzi.

Kyle is the only other active member (besides the aforementioned) that has come with us on oos events (more notably, this past weekend in Western NY). Honorable mentions go to Sylar for coming with to Rom 1 though. :)

No offense to the rest of the TO scene...but Teen Titans was EVERYONE thrown into a crew willy nilly, and it needs to be a bit more serious now.

Josh
David
Ryan
Imadh
Kyle
Bernard

We're being recognized as the some of the best this country has to offer. The crew has to reflect that, tied with at least a bit of experience/consistency.

Everyone needs to step the hell up and start calling rides to U.S. tournies.

sweet, guess I'll be there tmrw at York.

Also, pertaining to Bernard, I have major interest in going to the U.S for tourneys, cept that I have no car and my parents are really overprotective. I would prolly be allowed to go to nearby US tourneys as long as there's a ride and I can talk to my parents ahead of time enuf. Haha wat I mean is I'm trying to come out for these awesome tourneys.

>___> it sucks to only spectate youtube videos of other ppl playing awesome tournament matches. I definitely want in.

That's because we've got better things to do. I'm pretty sure I officially retired, so why are you mentioning me here? I'm not sure about everyone else on this list, but it's pretty clear to me that Marco and Adnan do not play anymore.

lol wtf? I hosted the biggest series of tournament in GTA history, and helped run countless other ones. I've contributed more to livening up the community than half the honorable people you're mentioning. In fact, I'm probably the only person past Adnan who ever really gave a **** about having good tournaments here...everyone else just did half-***** house tournaments. That stuff is livening up the scene. Being exclusive *****es and going to *keywords here*out-of-****ing-area tournaments does NOT liven up the scene.
Kyle is the only other active member (besides the aforementioned) that has come with us on oos events (more notably, this past weekend in Western NY). Honorable mentions go to Sylar for coming with to Rom 1 though. :)
lol seriously? Why is this so important? Besides, travelling is expensive, and considering you guys always jump into Josh's car first, it's impossible for anyone else to get in on them without flying there.
No offense to the rest of the TO scene...but Teen Titans was EVERYONE thrown into a crew willy nilly, and it needs to be a bit more serious now.
Serious? Now? Dude, the time to get serious was years ago. Now is the time to get serious about your lives if anything.

yaaayy exclusion is for cool people!

Not saying much considering Melee is dead. It's like being elitist about playing Nethack.

Again, what rides? It's only Josh. Most people don't have the money to go to US tournaments all the time anyway. Not that I really care about this...I'm just pissed off because you mentioned me as a bad example. Fuck off.

hahaha, just to clarify, TT was to be something to resemble the BladeBreakers,

(me and Drolian were seriously, IN FACT were gonna start the bladebreakers crew for sauga, then all of a sudden I **** you not, a week later Mainehampshire started it)


.. like Grmo said, it wasn't exclusive to the top players - but more for the key smashers of the community. It wasn't like that until our afro flavoured failure (lawl chris you ***, hahaha) decided to by himself to make sigs and stamp anyone that asked. It was supposed to be SEMI-exclusive, but not too strict (Afro, you still owe Tameka one).


I see what you did there, with this whole approach on giving the ooc experienced players a higher status, but I see why Grmo kinda overreacted. People do need to experience the U.S tournament environment, seeing 1st hand how people play, and breaking the barrier of watching a player through youtube and playing them in person.


Community does need to step up, but before the talks of convincing/pressuring the community to travel, a lot of people have to get better/step up with hosting events/start training players.


Also, I'm in this weird bubble between active and quit. I'm on the Brett Favre/Micheal Jordan status. I keep coming back and fading out lol.

yooo wait a min son, i was asked by mike to make the sigs, and i liked making sigs, so i just did it. and about the travel thing, do remember that not everyone can travel do to parents, and uni/high school, and other stuff happening in their lives, its not like we can make our parents just let us go....especially when we got like 2 midterms on the Friday and the Monday before and after the tourney,

and on a side note, i was only making TT sigs for ppl who asked, I made one for like everyone who mike told me to, and i was never told to make one for Tameka in the first place so not my fault :bee:

Edit: also dam, grmo just gave u the business bernard, get rapeddddddddd

I'm pretty sure a lot of us would go to states if we had transportation. And the only person who has that is Josh so that limits everyone. A couple of times Alan and I wanted to go to states but we had no means of getting there.

i am primarily interested because i want to have a sig with dinosaurs in it :bee:

edit: afro, is there any real possibility of you being allowed to take your parents' van to the states? because that would allow way more canadians to travel to things.

Blunted Object, I'm having a smashfest on Thursday. Come and I can house you and stuff.
can you post here if he's going to that? or at least that he is not still waiting at the airport <_<

in any case, someone should tell him about LBT2.

Didn't really mind your post up until this part.

Seriously, Grmo, why are you still living in 2008? 2 of Melee's biggest tournaments ever were hosted in the last 9 months.

Genesis: 292 entrants
Pound 4: approx 350 entrants

I minded, but then I assumed he didn't know what he was talking about, and I /ignored it.

It's the type of comment to which you don't have to answer to, because the reality of it is self evident.
