Oklahoma Thread: Weekly events for all games in OKC and Tulsa

[Grizzlpaw]

Xiroey how many people show up to the OU event?

It varies, really.

Our last tournament must've had around 50 people. But, some can be around 20-30 depending on the time/date/ rewards in the tourney.

Ahh that's cool Xiroey, it's always nice to participate in events, even if they play it strictly at a casual level.

LoL is kinda like an RTS (warcraft) and action RPG (diablo). One of the main game modes is 5v5, you control a single unit while your base sends cpu minions into 3 lanes. The goal is to destroy the enemy nexus deep in their base, surrounded by turrets. You can level up and get gold to purchase items as you defeat other players, minions, monsters in the "jungle" between lanes, turrets, etc.

BTW thx for the DotA2, Alex, time to get serious!

Any1 here plays Halo 4?

Oh, so it's a team/strategy!
Sounds like my kind of game :D

 

[Denti]

I'm game for it. :3

Problem is getting there and finding lodging there.

Carpool or Megabus. And post in the thread and we will cover you for housing.

 

[The Legend of Henry]

Sounds cool Xiroey. I might occasionally show up as long as I know when it's being hosted.

 

[Sars_Pirate]

Everyone here has colored font. Surprised Bryan doesn't have the crimson font.

Nah, I don't want to kill everyone's eyes.

Actually I guess that isn't so bad, but... I'm just not someone who regularly uses a different font color.

Also, I'm definitely going to be at the house today!

 

[melon_bread]

Coloured fonts are gay.

Spoiler

So is Bryan

 

[Sars_Pirate]

I wanna play after work Wednesday. Holler at me?

 

[Frisbie]

Tournament in Houston, Texas if anyone is interested. Videos from the last one are in my signature. Some players from Mexico are expected to show, and we're working on getting ahold of Javi

Yo, let's all go to this.

 

[Asa]

y'all should go to hobo 39

 

[Triforce Of Chozo]

That's hella expensive to go to.

 

[Frisbie]

That's hella expensive to go to.

I'm going to assume that your talking about Hobo 39, because my tournament is happening when Texas is having a Megabus special where tickets are only $1, and plus there isn't a venue fee. The info on the Megabus deal is in the tournament thread.

as a fellow TO i applaud all of this. go to this shiz guysssssss

 

[Frisbie]

Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it!

In addition to Mexico, there is a fair amount of interest from Louisiana and someone from Arkansas was also interested. The tournament was only announced a couple days ago, so I imagine interest will only grow. If anyone wants to go, please post in the tournament thread because people get hype when people from out of state say they are going.

 

[Vegafuse]

There's like a 50% chance (haven't checked if logistics are favorable) I'll megabus my way to Frisbie's tournament. As long as I don't have to stay a night there, and sleep on my way back to OKC I think i'll be good. Though It'll be MUCH preferred if I go with other OKer's since they are pros at networking... And if I practice Melee in the mean time, I need to get a GC.

edit: GG to Cactuarz in LoL, nothing gets past his support game. DotA2 later tonight hopefully.

 

[Mr. Johan]

Chozo, Bassem, are we still thinking of going to TCS 6?

 

[Sars_Pirate]

Can't go, even though I have weekends off LSAT + Watson = no fun for me. :/

 

[Zinth]

I might be down to go to the Houston tournament.

What's Watson? Oh right it's your dog!

 

[Triforce Of Chozo]

Chozo, Bassem, are we still thinking of going to TCS 6?

Yeah and I think Henry said he was interested too.

I have like a gorillion GCs if you want to borrow one.

Do it.

 

[Hazygoose]

so who else will go to evo this summer?

 

[Sars_Pirate]

Chris and Po?

 

[Sars_Pirate]

Yo, so I just started Downton Abby; the first episode almost made me bawl.

 

[Zinth]

Man, I thought Evo was a tournament circuit like MLG. Well, if I get the summer internship with Raytheon in CA, maybe I can make it there.

 

[Sars_Pirate]

There are "circuits" where you can gain points towards seeding, but for us it won't matter.

 

[Vegafuse]

I have like a gorillion GCs if you want to borrow one.

awww heck yea! Though I managed to borrow a GC from Chris today, I appreciate to know we have a helping hand here. I'm glad Melee made it into Evo, even tho I only donated a measly $10... I also hope Skullgirls will be able to make it too, since they pulled a whole lot for BCR, plus the stream was HYPE!

GG to ALL game communities involved!

It's kinda difficult to focus on many games at once, but UMvC3, SSBM, LoL, Halo4, and DotA2 are what I'm planning to level up on this month.

edit: and I'm real bad at all of them! ^_^

 

[Cactuarz]

yo, i have next 3 days off, so we need to get that kogmaw into shape. Any other OK smash league players wanna play? I'll teach ya =3

 

[The Legend of Henry]

I could help you with halo, Vegafuse.

 

[Triforce Of Chozo]

If you're bad at both LoL and DotA 2 but you want to learn both, I'd suggest picking one and ignoring the other for a few months until you're good at one. They're both MOBAs and the basics are fundamentally the same, so it doesn't hurt one to ignore it if you're new to the genre. LoL is easier to learn, so I'd suggest focusing on it for a while.

 

[Sars_Pirate]

We should all learn AE. HOLLA KARL I SEE YOU LURKING

Also I should install LoL some day. If anything cause more people play it than Dota (which is like a good and bad thing cause I figure the ratio of ******** teammates to people worth playing is significantly skewed until my ELO gets up).

 

[DualCats]

dude, you should come over today. I'm not working.

 

[Zinth]

Yeah, and I'll be here all day! I'm here right now, in fact.

I feel like chess and Smash are all I really have time for nowadays. I could probably get some LoL in every now and then since I'm already good at it. Maybe I could learn AE but very steadily. I'm also thinking about messing around with Pokemon here and there.

One of the most frustrating things about LoL is the ratio of stupid teammates. One of the secrets to moving up seems to be getting good enough to consistently carry your team at your current placement level.

Also, I filled in for my professor to give the lecture in a graduate course I'm in, might be doing it tomorrow also pending on his jury duty status.

 

[Sars_Pirate]

Sick Bryan. And I might come over later Karl. Watch the "superbowl."

Empahsis on Bowl.

Also go Ravens cause no one likes the 9'ers.

 

[DualCats]

I don't have any more "pork rinds" to "feast upon" during the "half-time show" but I can "pay for some at the gas station" if you want to.

 

[Sars_Pirate]

It's only American to do so.

But my commie job doesn't pay me till next Friday so I can't put a Jackson down for some rinds.

 

[DualCats]

I should be able to cover it for now. It's only pork rinds.

 

[Cactuarz]

One of the most frustrating things about LoL is the ratio of stupid teammates. One of the secrets to moving up seems to be getting good enough to consistently carry your team at your current placement level.

The secret to winning is rather to enable your teammates to not be completely ********. Though winning and losing can be a bit of a luckfest at lower levels since half the players are on smurf accounts and the other half are fresh and new to the game.

I have about a 60% win rate playing only support and an occasional game in the jungle. All I do is give vision to teammates, and help set them up so they can carry the game.

I can't carry the game, but I can carry you.

 

[Hazygoose]

god DAMN just rolled a fat pork rind

 

[DualCats]

I may as well roll one. A pork rind.

 

[Hazygoose]

so ****ing full right now
