Ziv/Diablo 3 people, did you hear about the sequel to the Cow Level? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFzq68I3GHQ

Yes, yes I did lol. Too good actually

Wow, I played so badly in the first match of this set. I don't even remember if I was taking it seriously. I know I wasn't during that 1v1 at the end.

 

[Terry]

Smash brothers

 

[Zantetsu]

I got a job today. I work nights, around 3-11, and I have every other Saturday off, so I'm available for daytime smashing after I move in to my apartment which will be in a week, 2 weeks at max. My roommate will be working the day shift so I will have the apartment to myself most of the time. Smash hype.

 

[Wretched]

Sweet Romang. We should play bunches because I specifically need practice against a fox at exactly your skill level. I think that is what I need to get better because I really have no idea how to play the most important character in this game. I know how to do Falco dittos though. Thank you Lambchops >:]]

What is your address? It'd be sweet if it was close to Drew/in walking distance.

 

[Zivilyn Bane]

Good **** Roman. Don't forget to start saving for FC.

 

[Terral]

June 30th. I'll work on getting the threads up sometime.

 

[G. Vice]

Missouri is cool.

Had fun bros, when ya'll coming down to my country?

 

[Zantetsu]

G Vice brings up a good point. We do owe Arkansas a trip, even though most of our vehicles can barely make it out of state. If somebody who has a ride sometime that is capable of driving long distances and is willing to drive to any smash event, it should be an Arkansas one. Hopefully Memphis or whoever is close to Arkansas could come too so it could be a large tournament.

Also, with my job, I may not be able to attend FC. They mention 5 paid vacation days after a year of working but I don't know about normal days off. We do have overtime so I may be able to incorporate it into that, but who knows. I'll try and ask when I Report it back ASAP.

You might be able to get it off unpaid. Let them know asap that you have this trip planned and it's priority, they may be able to let you request those days off.

I know John is from Little Rock and will be making trips to Arkansas.

I think we should try to go to the next A.R.K. tournament. Although if it's before August, I won't be able to make it.

 

[Wretched]

I think we should try to go to the next A.R.K. tournament.

I won't be able to make it.

I don't understand.

There is no "I" in "Michael"

 

[Zantetsu]

Yeah, I figured it was likely that I can get unpaied vacation. I don't know my schedule yet either but from what I've heard, it seems I won't have to ask too many days off for FC anyway. Hopefully.. HOPEFULLY, this works out. Summer will be ruined without FC.

 

[G. Vice]

The next ARK tournament is in August.

I'm not sure what the exact date is, but I do know it's in that month.

 

[Terral]

I think I remember someone telling me that it A.R.K. will be either one or two weeks prior to FC. If we send a car then I'll look into going, but I can't promise anything.

 

[Strong Badam]

interested in going to ARK

It's August 25th. Honestly it's going to cost a bit because they want to make this series something big (like a Final Round or whatever). If you guys don't want to travel only a couple weeks after FC and pay 30 bucks to enter a 30-40 man tourney, it'll be understandable

I want you all there of course, but I also don't want you guys getting the wrong impression and having to back out when the info finally comes down.

Would be awesome though!

 

[>Bert<]

$30? That's not bad.

Its not at all in comparison to FC.

I may go to ARK.

 

[Zantetsu]

If I can't attend FC, I'll go to ARK.

 

[Zivilyn Bane]

You definitely gotta go to FC.

 

[Roux]

Is FC in Indianapolis? I def won't be able to go, but hit me up if you guys wanna do lunch in stl on the way over. Maybe hot dogs and sauerkraut over my firepit or something ...I don't know what day that would be, so I could be busy, but I could be free.

 

[Terry]

For some reason, money seems to just appear in my bamk account.

 

[Strong Badam]

august 25th? i might be able to.

South Bend, Indiana. Not too sure how far that is from Indianapolis.

 

[>Bert<]

So my plan is to have a new car by the time FC rolls around, so I can drive the people I originally told I would drive. I'm thinking I told Karl, Brandon, and Shinobi I'd drive them. Problem with this plan is...
FINDING A NEW CAR IS ****ING DIFFICULT.

I want a fun/sporty looking car or SUV with
AWD
Manual trans
Diesel
Gets 30+ MPG
4 door
and is able to carry my friends around in complete comfort

You'd think it wouldn't be this hard...anyone know of something?

 

[Roux]

Yikes, lots of criteria. Just AWD with 30mpg is hard to come by. I'd say subaru, but I don't think they do any diesel and maintenance is expensive. Some hybrid suv's get 30mpg, but they don't make hybrid manual trans anywhere. Mazda 5 makes a manual trans minivan/suv, which is baller. Is a hatchback car like a ford focus too small? I get 40mpg in my stick shift focus. Def no diesel or AWD though.

Yea I'm SUPER picky about this. The only vehicle I've found so far that matches that criteria is the Volkswagen Toureg, but it doesn't come in a manual. The one I drove was loaded out the ***, so naturally I was loving it. I could definitely see myself owning one, but I want it to be fun and to me, an automatic isn't fun...

 

[Roux]

Yeah, Volkswagen came to mind later cause of the diesel... but yeah, I can't think of anything else close.

 

[>Bert<]

Who all here from Springfield plans on attending FC??

 

[Zantetsu]

Me, Michael, Terral, Terrence, and Wretched I think. I could easily be wrong though.

 

[Wretched]

I won't unless I get a call back from one of the places which I applied.

 

[Zantetsu]

Don't expect a call back. Follow up on your application. Call wherever you applied a few days after you put in your application and ask if it's been reviewed or you can just say you're following up on an application you put in.

The place where I work now is hiring a bunch of people. Drew works there, my roommate works there, a friend I met through Drew a year ago is the assistant application manager or something like that, and Kendra has an interview on June 6th. If you don't mind working evenings (2/3 P.M - 10 P.M./11 P.M/12 A.M.), I strongly suggest applying, and if you do, put me down as a reference. I get a $50 bonus and I'll split it with you, or we can use it for a party.

 

[Wretched]

Do you have the street address for CST?

 

[Zantetsu]

310 S Ingram Mill Rd, Springfield, MO

 

[Wretched]

It is 4.6 miles away.

I couldn't walk that every day :I

 

[Zantetsu]

You could totally bike it though.

 

[Wretched]

That's true. I do have a new bike. I will look into it since I wouldn't mind working with you, Drew, and Kendra-chan.

 

[Zantetsu]

You WOULD mind working with us?! Better be a typo, *****.

Also, I forgot to mention, if you work in the click to chat department (which is what me, Drew, and most likely Kendra will be working) then you will be working near ACE Hardware on Campbell after training. It's actually half the distance from your house than the address I gave you above/main office.

 

[Wretched]

Woah bad typo.

That sounds like a much better distance.

 

[_Yes!_]

So does anyone care about PM right now or is it all just FC hype?

 

[Zantetsu]

I barely play Melee as it is. I don't have time for the unfinished remake.
