Yeah, he'd ALWAYS browse the forums drunk. He broke a glass over his face because he ran out of vodka.

I was curious once and decided to look over his posts, since he'd been banned before I got here. And I honestly don't see what was so special, or funny, or anything, really, about his posts.

I used to have the EVO World DVD (2007) with the interviews on it (they did HugS, Mango, Chillin', ...). Can't find it anywhere now.

Does anyone have that DVD and is willing to sell it to me?
Or maybe willing to upload the interviews? They don't sell it anymore so I don't think Evo would mind.

(it's for my thread that I'm working on)

i second this.

Gift Ideas!!??

Alright, My boyfriend loves Smash Brothers Melee, as it should be, and Christmas is coming up, but I am having trouble figuring out what to get him. We have been through so much this year, so I want it to be something really special. I was hoping all you smashers out there could give me some tips on what I could get him that pertain to the game; any ideas will be much appreciated.

Thank you!!!

if you want to put some effort into it, but a new white controller ( http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-10u-49-en-70-2ola.html ) and paint it in the style of his favorite character

 

[Env]

The controller thing would be a good idea, but he is extremely picky with the controllers he uses. He plays in tournaments and only uses one specific one. :/ Thanks for the reply though.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Well I do as well, but if its a new controller that will give him a chance to break it in. We all love to start a controller fresh.

Theres other cool hobby type smash things you can do for him, such as making a plushie (heres some examples i found for starcraft: http://i.imgur.com/11Fuh.jpg http://imgur.com/a/kytgQ ) of a character. I know someone was making smash stickers and wrist bands. It might be useful to think about the type of things you like to do and that you are good at.

If none of that works, just buy him skyrim.

 

[Env]

LOL he has been playing Skyrim everyday so far. Thanks for the advice! I will look into some of the stuff your recommended.

 

[-ShadowPhoenix-]

I agree with Sveet.

You can't go wrong with a new controller.

 

[N.A.G.A.C.E]

hey on the topic of controllers, i remember a while back (like early this year or late 2010) someone posted a link to a nintendo website where they were still selling silver gc controllers, anyone know if they r still selling them and/or have the link?

edit: http://www.lukiegames.com/New-Silver-Gamecube-Wii-Controller.html anyone know if this is legit?

 

[-ShadowPhoenix-]

http://store.nintendo.com/webapp/wc...&categoryId=&ddkey=http:SetCurrencyPreference

EDIT: nagace that is definitely not legit

 

[N.A.G.A.C.E]

yea it didnt seem legit at all, but i was really hoping it was

edit: also thanks for the link, when I get a job (hopefully soon) i am going to get a new controller

 

[-ShadowPhoenix-]

Yeah...
The only two places you should be buying a new gamecube controller are

http://store.nintendo.com/webapp/wc...&categoryId=&ddkey=http:SetCurrencyPreference

and

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-23-49-en-70-2ola.html

Sometimes you'll find a few of the white ones on amazon, but its a few dollars cheaper even with the import ordering it from play asia

 

[N.A.G.A.C.E]

so on a related note, which controller is better? I remember hearing things about the white ones being a little different but I also think some people really like them. Plus change is scary (jk) but really any suggestion on which one to get?

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

I really like the white ones. No noticable difference between them and the classic ones, except for the longer cord which really comes in handy at smashfests

 

[N.A.G.A.C.E]

I just remember hearing something that ether the joystick was made witha different spring so it felt different (now that I am thinking about this if i remember correctly the joystick is different but in a good way, like if it breaks u can open up the controller and fix it easier which is nice). No i think the difference was in how the R and L buttons felt but this is not necessarily a bad thing. Like i remember hearing they had a different resistance to them. but I am sure even if it feels different its something u could easily adjust to, and its good to hear from a melee player that they like the white controller b/c I mostly only know brawl people who use them.

So in conclusion it doesnt seem like there is a wrong answer in which controller to get which is nice to know

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Ive used both controller types and have both within hand's reach from me now. There is no noticable difference in any of that. Every controller is made slightly different but thats not something thats unique to white ones.

also the joystick thing ur thinking of is probably the N64 controllers which you can open and tighten a screw to adjust the joystick

No i am pretty sure i meant the white ones (but my info could be wrong since it was a while ago so my memory might be faulty). Also i didnt know that about the 64 controllers so thats pretty nice to know

 

[choknater]

i love the feel of new controllers

i'm glad my muscle memory is more suited to those, so it doesn't take me very long to get comfortable with a new controller.

I don't blame you in particular, but I actually felt really depressed upon reading this post. It has made me realize that all Smashboards newcomers shall never understand ICG's glorious legacy. Indeed, the very heart and soul of Smashboards perished when our saviour was banished at the hands of tyrannical moderators in a frenzy of power.

 

[ShroudedOne]

I'm not sure how serious you're being, but I realize that he did (and does) have a kind of cult following. So I'll just give you the benefit of the doubt, and say that I must have just missed out on a good time.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

I have a theory that ICG has a current smashboards account with a significant number of posts

 

[-ShadowPhoenix-]

doubt it...

ROM4 was awesome

 

[ShroudedOne]

We will never be relatively decent at this game ever. That's what RoM4 taught me.

 

[-ShadowPhoenix-]

Melee is a good spectators sport so even if we dont reach tip top level, we'll still enjoy excitement in watching high level play.

Win-win situation IMO

 

[choknater]

come to cali where competition is still mad tight

Looooooooool TecZero i think you should know that thanks to all the trolls on the stream, quite a few people now think youre a very attractive asian girl.

Nah, "Tally Hoes" was his latest attempt. It's pretty easy to spot him when he tries again.
