ribs, tonight, meet at bank and sparks, it's basically the west end of sparks and there's an HMV on the corner, meet outside of that at 8pm... it's where people meet, I was there waiting for people thisafternoon and there were around 50 people standing awkwardly around here, waiting for someone to come find them so they could gorge themselves on tasty, tasty meat...
Meet you there!

EDIT: Does anybody here still play Starcraft? I've gotten back into it and I'm looking for some (offline) people to play with.
I haven't been playing much recently, but I'd be up for a game (not sure how we'd coordinate it though...). Ian would probably play as well.

Orlando, the only songs I can now recommend are those found on Thriller, Bad, Dangerous, HIStory... :S

The World has just lost it's first ever real life superhero...

Smash related: Luigi was at least partly inspired by Michael Jackson.

Since this is the social thread im not sure if there needs to be a "smash related" line in your post. Just saying.

About country, I dont completely hate it but most of it seems similar and uninteresting, to me anyways. I do like some Johnny Cash which is pretty much country. So maybe theres some country out there that I might like.

A few months back I was on a major Michael Jackson trip. I didnt go through his whole discography but I was pretty hooked on most of his major songs. It even prompted me to try to learn to sidewalk(I think its called) after watching some of his dance videos. God **** can he dance. I think if you take the amount of skill that he has in dancing and transform it to a skill/knowledge in science you could cure cancer :p.

Thanks for the music guys.

Edit:
Heres whats currently on my ipod:
Moby - Electronic (currently)
Bonobo - Electronic (currently finished)

Gang Starr - Rap (on a little hiatus from them right now)
Nas - Rap right before getting into an Electronic mood, this is actually a revisit that made me realize the genius of the illmatic album

Saul Williams - Rap/Poet after watching the evo 2008 trailer which has the song list of demands and is an amazing running/workout song. Probably why it was used in a nike commercial. The evo trailer mimics this commercial.

and 2 playlists that are a mix of various genres

Edit 2: I just found out about MJ, what a shocker. :(.
Yeah I dont remember what it was called but most likely had the words side and/or walk in it.

The only thing I don't like about country is that it's inherently simple music as a style. It's all legit and cool and everything, but I'm more a fan of complexity and unpredictability in my music.

I'm in a bit of a piano phase right now so I've been loading up on the Final Fantasy piano collections. I've also actually been listening to the braid OST a bit lately. =D

Anyway, it seems we're celebrating my dad's birthday on Sunday so I'm probably going to make it tomorrow. I'd like to still go home at a reasonable hour so I'll only stay for doubles. (please don't cancel it!)

i have the complete seasons of the boondocks... so good...

also, on an unrelated note, I just got called into work for a few hours, so I am either going to be late, or a no show... i hate to be that guy who bails but I can make more $ for actual work... which is not actually usually the case if it's a full biweekly lol

Boondocks is great. The best episode is probablt the Martin Luther King jr episode, but my fave is the one with Stinkmeaner. Man could he trash talk.

So, you guys thinking this will be a biweekly or what? I'm good with either, as long as there will be at least some serious buisness around. I'm planing on learning a crapload either way.

Edit: This is just me checking out how the censer thing works.

I've been rethinking things about OiN next weekend; since it's been moved to a one-day tourney it might be more feasible to go to this. Is anyone interested in going? I know it's short notice, and this isn't even guaranteed yet, but I'd like to check people's interest.

Mike, if we go, would we be able to get housing with you again?

edit: lol @ Kirby remix freakout

I've seen that freak out thing before, but f course kirby music makes it 1000 times better. I am pretty sure it's fake. I mean, he was sticking a controller into his anus

yo cam, you're considering going to that OiN tourney on july 4th? If youre driving down, would you pass through Toronto? Me n jake are thinking about going to this, but we're iffy on the transpo (seeing as we've got none). In fact, I'm not even remotely sure if I CAN make this (it would depend on my parents), but just out of curiosity, if you are passing through TO, would you be willing to pick up/ drop off jake?

This is assuming you're getting there by car, of course. Again, this is all just me being curious, so don't put us down for anything definite.

Possibly...these plans are really tentative though, so I'd have to confirm things with work and see if I can get the car first.

Yeah, for sure. I'll set you up with a bed / mattress in my room to avoid cats this time.

I wanna see how your Snake is coming along, maybe I can give you some tips that I've picked up.

Anybody interested in smashing on Canada Day? Most people already have plans I'm sure, but I'm stuck at home on call anyways; might as well try to do something.

Cool, thanks! I'll try and let you know within a couple of days if I'll be going down or not. I'm on call until Friday at noon, so the earliest I could possibly leave would be Friday afternoon. If I can't get the afternoon off, it might not be worth the hassle of trying to get to Niagara, since there's no way I'd be able to get the car from my parents' on Thursday like last time.

Hey Mike (PND), this is non-Smash related, but are you still wanting to do that thing for the Offspring concert on Thursday? Just need to know a bit of what's going on so Chad and I can finalize a couple of the details and stuff since I remember you mentioning something about "meeting in Toronto"? Or...something?

Yeah, I'd still be down. Where do you want to meet? Toronto bus terminal?

Nonrelated: Proof jiggs is the manliest character in Brawl. Ever wonder what that thing on her head was?

It would probably be something like uh...the train station I think. We might have to book train tickets from Trenton depending on whether we can still get Brockville ones and gotta finalize the hotel bits, but yeah, I'll keep in touch about it through the week.

Mel and I are considering going to OiN as well. I can't find the thread info, so could you please post the link?

Do you have room in the car for two more? I'm asking just in case, though we might go there a different way, since we will be staying with her aunt. I'm not sure how far out of the way you would have to drop us off if you were driving us etc, so I'm just putting it out there as a possiblity.

but ya, I'd really like the link so I can learn the ruleset, location fees, etc. I didn't see it in the canadian section.

Kai: Since we'd most likely be staying over in the Niagara area Friday night, it might be tough to stop by and pick up Jake, depending on his schedule. If he's ok with leaving Friday and not getting back home until Sunday afternoon, and he's not too far off the 401, then I could pick him up. Otherwise, I don't think I can help him out, sorry.

PNDMike: Would you like a spot in the car for the trip to/from the tourney like last time?

The OiN thread is in the Tournament Listings board (accessible from the front page): http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=238858

Also, as for your request for a lift, I could fit you both in the car right now. However, it's unreasonable for me to drop you and Mel off at her aunt's then expect the rest of the car to get their own housing. It would be much simpler if we all stayed at the same place.

Here is the extra driving (bolded) that I'd have to do to accommodate your request:

Friday night
=======

Pick everyone up from Ottawa
Drive to Mel's Aunt's place to drop you off
Drive to PND's
Sleep

Saturday
======

Drive to Mel's Aunt's place to pick you up
Drive to tourney
Participate in tourney
Drive to Mel's Aunt's place to drop you off
Drive to PND's
Sleep

Sunday
=====

Drive to Mel's Aunt's place to pick you up
Drive back to Ottawa

That's 4 extra trips I'd have to make. PND's is probably about 20-30 minutes from the tourney site, so it'd most likely be pretty inconvenient to do that, unless her aunt is either really close to the tourney, or really close to PND's.

Thanks for the link, I was looking in the cananda section.

Oops, I suppose I didn't specify, but if we would get a drive, it would only be to and possibly back from Toronto, not to and from the tourney. Yes, I agree it would be just silly to do that, and would never expect that.

Also, that's why I said we'd probably be getting there some other way, because it would be fairly inconvenient anways.

I know it would be easier to stay at one place, but, being a girl, I imagine that Mel would feel weird sleeping in a house with only guys (I mean no offence to you guys by that comment).

I don't really know where her aunt's is, but I just wanted to bring it up incase it was close to either Mike's or the Tournament.

If possible, but if you have a full carload I can just bus to Niagara. It's only like $5, but the bus ride is ~2 hours :( It has to go to Niagara Falls first and loop around. So I would prefer a ride, but if you have a full carload I have other options.

Ok, sorry I misunderstood. It would still be inconvenient to go through Toronto though, so it depends how close off the 401 it is. Also, if it matters, PND's mother and sister are at his place, so Mel wouldn't be the only girl.

Alright then, good point. I'll mention it to her. I'll also ask about the location questions and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

I also assume that there won't be a biweekly this friday?

It all depends on whether I can go for sure or not. Work needs to give me Friday afternoon off, and my dad needs to lend me the car. If those things happen, then I can go to OiN and there will be no biweekly/smashfest/whatever. Otherwise, there will be.

Hey cam,

So I just found out my parents are probably cool with the idea, and jake said he's able to leave friday and get back sunday afternoon. Assuming you get the car and book off your friday afternoon, would it be possible to get jake at Finch station? (he tells me you'd know where that is - it's close to the 401 apparently). If that's doable, then we can probably make it to this tourney :)

Alright, sounds good. Also, I'm confirming not being able to drive down with you, since I have an exam that ends anywhere between 8:30 and 10 PM. I'm pretty sure you will be leaving before that.

In responce to the video, there were some times where it was obvious that the opponent was DIing into the ftilts. Otherwise, ftilt>Usmash is amazing!

Edit: Oh, I've been meaning to bring it up. I found this mini-series the other day called "There Will Be Brawl" that I think you'll all enjoy.

It's a dystopic view of the mushroom kingdom, basically. Everything has hit the fan in the mushroom kingdom and for some reason or another, the other characters from brawl have taken refuge there.

It even explains why certain characters aren't in brawl anymore. It's increadibly dark though. Mario and Luigi are has-beens, wario's a drug dealer, link's in charge of the police force, samus is a stripper, pit is some sort of gay prostatute, Kirby is a jailed canabalistic murderer, PT frequents a pokemon gambling ring, Walluigi is senile or something, the yoshis are rabid, the furries are street thugs... You get the picture.

Anyways, I highly recomend it.
