[Darkwing SykeDuk]

Why did the final of the losers bracket have so many matches? It's only supposed to be best of 3 or 5.

 

[Jamage]

Im pretty sure the final was the only one that was more than 5. I cant remember much anyway.

 

[Darkwing SykeDuk]

LPC26: Dave vs. Oli (Grand Final of LB) - Theres heaps of matches for a loser bracket final, unless the LB means something else which I'm suspecting it does?

 

[Jamage]

Dave vs Oli was the Grand Final which was best out of 7.

 

[Darkwing SykeDuk]

But it said LB zomg wtf???

LPC 28 Review (December 10th 2007)

LPC Christmas special was alot of fun with stuff being screened on the projector all day, some nice Xmas decorations including a tree and a bunch of cool people to game with and get some practice in before Reloaded 08. PC turnout was a little down, cmon where were you guys? Plenty of games were played all day and we didnt run a soccer comp but a fair few people had fun playing in the gym nest door and i pulled a leg muscle a couple of mins before scoring a goal lol. Combine that with playing Mario and Sonic at the Olympics on Wii and that was my workout for the day. Cant remember what time Pizza arrived but it was good.

SSBM 1v1
Smash Bros got thrashed all Lan as usuall and alot of close games were had by all as everyone is still improving and getting ready for Reloaded. Usual settings and levels were played (4 stock, 8 min, no items, comp levels etc) and after the tournament was over everyone wanted to play 1v1 freinlies instead of having a 2v2 comp so we let them do that instead.

1st: Oliver (on right)
2nd: 2SXC/Dave (in middle)
3rd: Suhayb (to the left)
4th: Nabeel
5th: Jamage
5th: Theif


Guitar Hero 3
Was the hit of this Lan with almost everyone having a go and lots of fun being had by all. Everyone had 3 turns to put down a score on Welcome to the Jungle on Hard and after most people having their 3 turns already Techa had the top score with 1 go remaining and thought the comp was his until Shane Rocked up and rocked on getting within 2,000 of his score in his 1st go and then on his 2nd he got a 227 note streak and did really well to beat some other really good players that were in a different leauge than me. Scores below.

1st: Shane Redman
2nd: Techa
3rd: SSTJ


Wii Sports Bowling
People were so busy with other stuff Wii bowling didnt get turned on until later in the arvo and no one really wanted a go after I got 300 but it doesnt matter coz im not eligable for prizes anyway so my score shouldnt have bothered anyone.

1st: Jamage (300)
2nd: Theif (211)


Warioware Smooth Moves
Not Much to be said about Warioware but it was fun as always and a big hit with everyone and for once all the good players made it past the 1st round but another 1st time Warioware player nearly won it (its happened before) and I ended up cutting my own rope (as usual) and handing Cheese the win.

1st: Cheese
2nd: Jamage
3rd: 2SXC/Dave

PC Comp Results coming soon

[Eagle]

I would like to come to this SSBB tournament. I've never been to something like this before though. Do I need to bring my Wii?

Also, I've noticed on these pictures that there isn't many people there my age (15) but maybe I'm wrong.

 

[CAOTIC]

Yeah you're wrong, everyone's like, 12

 

[Jamage]

You dont have to bring your Wii but the more we have the better.

Average age at LPC was around 18 and at Streetgeek its even higher.

LPC and its Smash comps have merged with Streetgeek Lan Parties to create a bigger and better event. www.streetgeek.com.au

Awesome news everybody! StreetGeek is holding a viral video competition, commencing immediately. It should be alot of fun to see the submissions!

Summary: Create a video. An awesome video. It should promote or mention some aspect of StreetGeek. Consider making it no more than a few minutes long, but that's not an entry criteria.

Deadline: The competition will be judged at StreetGeek 08.07 - Wintereenmas (July). Precise deadline TBA.

Prize: Nintendo Wii, including Wiimote, Nunchuk and WiiSports game. StreetGeek reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal value or cash if Wiis are unavailable, or to increase the prize pool without notice.

Judging: All entries that exceed a reasonable standard (determined by the committee) will be screened at Wintereenmas, and attendees will be asked to vote. Voters will be asked to consider entertainment value, and publicity value to StreetGeek.

Conditions: A high-res version of the video should be provided to the committee. The video must mention or promote StreetGeek in some way. The author retains copyright of their work, and licenses it unconditionally and nonexclusively to StreetGeek. By submitting an entry, the entrant warrants that he or she has the appropriate legal rights to comply with these conditions. Entrants are able to retract or update their entries at any time before the deadline. StreetGeek reserves the right to alter these conditions with no prior notice using stealth, subterfuge and ninjility.


Q&A:

Would 640x480 be considered high-res?

Whatever is the highest resolution you have is fine. This is the video that will be shown for voting, so the higher the quality the better.

Do we have to distribute the video via youtube etc. and if so does it's popularity or spread have any effect on the judging?

No, you do not have to publish the video anywhere. StreetGeek will post it on youtube etc after the comp if you have not already done so, but youtube hits will not directly be used as a judging criteria. Voters will be asked to consider entertainment value, and (potential) publicity value to StreetGeek.

without some measure of the spread of the video outside of SG the 'viral' part of 'viral video competition' is kind of irrelevant

It's a 'viral' video competition because we hope that all of the submissions will become viral video sensations and improve the awareness of StreetGeek.

Can anyone recommend some good video editing software? Up until now I've been using VirtualDubMod, but the GUI is a bit too simplistic and it doesn't do special effects. Windows Movie Maker is better, but it only lets me save in proprietry WMV format, not XVid or anything useful.

Other users have recommended Final Cut Pro for Mac OSX or Ulead VideoStudio for Windows. DrFrag posted this list of video editing software.

I think I got a streetgeek viral. I've been heaps itchy lately.

StreetGeek accepts no responsibility.

Jamage’s Steetgeek 8.6 Review


It was Friday the 13th and it was cold but that didn’t stop this Lan from rockin and heaps of people from turning up and having a great time.
Unfortunatly I missed the 1st few hours because I had to work Friday night and didn’t get there till 11pm but when I got there things were crankin.

Many good games were played throughout the entire Lan.
The food cooked was great as usual, I had 3 bowls of that chicken soup.
As I spent most of my time in the console area and I wont have much to say about what went on with the PC tournaments and such but it made me wish I brang my PC to the event, it was also packed out.
We also had Rockband :D Enter the Sandman oh Yeah!!!

Console Tournaments:

Super Smash Bros Brawl
Streetgeeks best brawl tournament sofar, they are only gonna get better from here (aus release soon :D). Plenty of entrants and a double elim format meant this comp ran for hours and was pretty greuling for those who made it through each round. Many different characters and there was no favourite. Rules were 4 stock, 7 min time limit, no items etc.
1st: Hybrid
2nd: Black Aces
3rd: Jamage
4th: Anykey
5th: Shadowmandog2

Guitar Hero 3
We had Guitar Hero on Wii, PS2 and a PC running the 360 version I think and they were all played so much that im going crazy so I mainly played Rockband for some new songs. The comp we did was highest score on Before I forget on Hard.

1st: Tatsu -198,9681
2nd: Raedur 178,791
3rd: Kman 148,241

Mario Kart Wii
We ran two Mariokart Wii competitions because of popular demand and me not being there for the 1st one. People used all sorts of controls including Wii wheel (my fav), Gamecube controllers, remotes and Nunchucks and Micolous was even using a GCN – PS2 controller converter and using a PS2 control in the Mariokart Wii comp.

Friday Tournament
1st: Zac
2nd: Hybrid
3rd: Tomage
4th: Chris (Zac’s mate)

Saturday Tournament
1st: Techa
2nd: Jamage
3rd: Grand Masta Groove
4th: Shannon

Warioware Smooth Moves:
Once again the crazy randomness that is Warioware made an appearance at Streetgeek and as usual it was one of the biggest console comps as anyone can win no matter how bad you do but by doing good you have a slightly higher chance of winning so this is a good comp for anyone to join in on.

1st: Micolous
2nd: Jamage
3rd: Anykey
4th: Hybrid

(Pic of one of the Warioware rounds)


Wii Sports Bowling
We did the random score target again and this time it was 105 (winner is the closest to the score or 1st to get the exact score). It was played by many at first but after only a few hours the top 3 spots had already been taken because of the low target was easy to get and not much bowling was played afterwards.

1st: Anykey (1st to get exactly105)

oh mad didn't realise these LAN parties had Smash Bros tourney's goin on, I'd be keen to enter!

 

[Jamage]

Streetgeek is the only Lan that does SSBB comps in SA and soon will be organising state rankings.

 

[Eagle]

Jamage, you will be attending the connection tour 08 right? I want to avoid vsing you. I also don't want my little brothers to vs you either, I want to win an Australian brawl copy. >.<

Good luck tomorrow though!

By the way, I will be wearing a gray jacket with a big 3 on the back with the title 'CORDOBA' above it. Come say hello if you would.

 

[mafesto]

What there was a tournament? and I just missed it? :'( :'( GODAMMIT. Is there any plan for another one...? I might go to that Streetgeek thing though.

 

[Eagle]

Tomorrow from 9 to 5pm is the Nintendo world connection tour 08. It's at Marion Westfield shopping center. There's lots of other stuff to do aswell like trivia for prizes and other games. However, the Brawl rules aren't the best.

I cleaned up my 1st round using Cpt Falcon but got a bad level 2nd round and got killed by the stage twice but managed to get a few kills tp be equal 1st when the time ran out but got knocked out by sudden death. I got around 20th all up out of 180+

Jamage’s Steetgeek 8.7 Review


It was the middle of Winter and was very but there were a lot of people there and alot were dressed
in cool and sexy looking formal clothes and it was one of the best Lans ive ever attended. D)

I spent almost no time in the PC area this Lan and didn’t take a lot of notice to what was going on but it was packed out and I saw many games being played and some massive LCD screens there.

Console Games I saw played were:
Smash Bros Brawl,
Smash Bros Melee,
Halo 3,
Guitar Hero,
ddr/stepmania,
GTA 4,
Soul Calibur 3,
Wii Fit,
Wii Sports,
Mariokart Wii,
Gran Turismo 4,
DOA 4,
Virua Tennis 3,
Dead Rising and Smackdown vs Raw 08.

Food was better than ever and we had more choice than usual and special deals pushed by salespeople you just cant say no to

Avcon was there selling tickets, badges and informing people about it. I got my ticket from the friendly guy there. Avcon is on the 26th and 27th of July at Adelaide University

I only had just over an hour sleep on Friday night so I went home Saturday arvo fo a few hours sleep
and came back for the end. I missed Frisbeemark but won a Pepsi in the random prize draw






Console Tournaments:

Super Smash Bros Brawl
Even though it was unofficial and not included in the Wintereenmas tournament structure it was still popular. The comp was very close the whole way through with a new guy taking out 1st place as a few regulars weren’t there. Hope everyone is there next time for a bigger and better comp. Rules were 4 stock, 7 min time limit, no items etc.

1st: Flip
2nd: Alecat
3rd: Aisuka
4th: John Scobie
5th: Jamage

Wii Fit Soccer Heading
This was part of the Wintereenmas tournaments, everyone had 1 practice round and then 3 goes to get a high score. It proved to be very fun and everyone could have a go as the learning curve was so small and you didn’t even need arms to win. After the comp Target and then Flip got perfect scores of 555 (all 80 balls). At home I have now got a perfect score on both difficultys (655 for hard).
1st: Target - 434
2nd: Flip - 328 (pictured)
3rd: Jamage - 244
