So can you book a second one then Clyde? You know where the first one is and it would be nice if they were close.
Meh, just techno crap. Rock only plz.

But I don't wanna book two rooms. 
And no, I totally don't know where the first one is. In fact, they couldn't even tell me. The best we could do is request they are close to each other when we check in
Someone else be responsible and step up.

yes booking is free for now but when you check out you have to have that money in your account and therein lies the problem with me. yes im sure people will pay me for the room and whatnot but this would also require someone driving me to my bank to make a deposit during the con at some point.

I can kinda sympathize with Waffle. My funds are lower than I'd like atm thanks to spending two weekends in a row drinking, which'll delay my "gtfo out of VA" plan :/. But it's not a huge setback, so if no one steps up (to book a free room lol) I might go ahead and do it. I should have enough money to pay for it so long as I don't have to blow $40 + gas each weekend in 1 hour.
Although I'd really like it if someone with a more...permanent investment in magfest to do it.

Just for ****s and giggles I tried his advice that he keeps saying (keeping your eyes and hands doing different things) by practicing shooting SHLs over the entire bottom part of BF while a Fox just sat idly by on the top BF platform. Surprisingly, my SHL execution is much better now since I stopped focusing on visual cues and just used pure muscle memory...which should leave my mind and eyes free to read the opponent if I can learn all my tech like that!

ACTUALLY.....
You can pay the entire room off in cash. They just need to hold your card in case anything happens but the cash option is there. We did it for Apex with the group I went(Me, Winston, Seb, Plank, Joe and Vist). So as long as you get everyones money up front, you should be good.
This is actually what I intend to do.
And yea..I'm really broke right now as well. Drinking two weekends in a row. haha

Dunno. The only tourney is Sypher's but that's too far for me. Chuck's moving into his new house this weekend, so I'm gonna stick around Westminster. If you wanna do something here, that's cool. Maybe Chuck would let us livestream from his house or something (if he has internet yet, I dunno).

I may or may not go. As much as I want to crash Chuck's new house, quinnydinny needs an adept writer/artist for Game Jam (a competition at our college where teams of 5 compete to see who can create the best video game in 48 hours). I'll try to make it to both, but I don't know how long he may need me, and we discussed this before anyone even mentioned what we were doing this Saturday, so he gets top billing.

It was...interesting lol. I wasn't able to make it to the opening ceremony on Friday, so they had to get a stand in member for the team. They got saddled with some pretentious ******* who said he could do artwork, but I could've drawn better than him as a Kindergartner (in fact I have lol). Also he loves the **** lol.
Anyway, QD texts me to get over here quickly because this guy was awful. I thought he was just exaggerating, but when I got there...uhhh...well let's just say that the player character's sprite looked like Rambo in red tights with a cape that didn't extend past his lower back, spike pits looked like donuts, and the reflection of frozen water looked like a giant hairy *****. So I worked my magic and everyone was happy but him, but we convinced him that I was there to lend a hand rather than to take back the reigns on what was mine. QD pretty much scrapped all of the other dude's artwork when he left lulzlulzlulzlulzlulzlulz.
Anyway, the final product turned out fine, but by the end of it, we didn't even care about the contest and were thinking more in the long term. Like putting it out in retail for that cash money. Progress will be slow with the dev team consisting two programmers and a writer lol.
Good times though. We also tried to see Inception, but good god the line for that was going out of the theater.
I'll definitely be around Thanksgiving weekend though. Though I'll be more excited for my birthday the Monday after :D.

The bad thing about this arrangement is that I'm not the boss
. I have to run everything by Quinnydinny first. You know, it's a "I don't want to ruin your dream of making this game that you've been wanting to make since high school" thing.But you'll bet your *** that I'll at least pitch it.
I think you missed some keys on the keyboard.

A TH troll would be good. He would probably come in and show you up and leave lulzing. It was a pretty awesome weekend overall. BadArtGuy did get really ****ing annoying though and he was hitting on me all weekend. -_- His art sucked so bad I deleted it and made so new place holder art for the time being.
Though for the complete terror of how bad BadArtGuy's art was you can view this video.

TH drew the ****** wolf in it, Which is soiling itself over how bad BadArtGuy's art is and how up in your face it is.

Wow that is a truly awful sprite. The wolf looks great though.
btw, love the Ganon Man avatar. I think I'm gonna switch back to my low-res King avatar.

That wolf is huuuuuuuge lol. Least compared to Rambo in Red. Once I become more proficient in computer graphic design, I definitely want to perfect the wolf IE adding proper shading and lighting, redoing the outline, and adding some embellishments on it using different layers. At the very least I want to add some icy blue to the top of its fur coat that gradually fades into white, but I really want to get some more ice motifs going on as well. Maybe not too much, but just a little something. Having the wolf base form + layers will be extremely helpful in doing that without having to redraw the entire thing.
But I'm scrapping the bat though. I'm not quite happy with it. Concept is good, but I can do better. ****ing bat anatomy.
Also I like how you have Ghost!Terumi as your stand-in hero.
PC LOAD LETTER!?!?!

PC Load Letter!?!?! WTF does that mean?
Yeah, the wolf's feet also don't line up on a 2D floor. It's ok though since you will have plenty of time to work on the art. The engine, I'm sure, will take a few months to perfect since I'm bringing it down to pure OpenGL.

Count Kaiser says he's finally free from schoolwork and wants to hang out this weekend. So, BWW/smashfest in Westminster?

I can't. I'm not free from Cape :/. Bionic also wants to come down with him.

Well I can still convince Cape to play Melee at least. And probably some other non-smash games like Pokemon and SSF4. So it won't be a TOTAL Brawlfest.
I'll see if I can get him to play P:M as well, but I'm less confident in that.
EDIT: just found out he's bringing Mow too. Boy do I wish I had the latest codeset of P:M so we could get feedback on the new Zelda from the best Melee Zelda main.

feedback from mow would most likely be a bunch of one line sarcastic comments disapproving of whatever they did, but im just guessing based on past experiences here. although it would still be hilarious...
im prolly for saturday, working friday, also i got us something else enjoyable for this smashfest that may not be smash, but it is staying with our current theme.
gimme some times for saturday and ill see what i can do, would love to come down before bww's some im hanging out for more than a few hours.

As awesome as it would be to get up there, I don't think Cape would be cool with doing that.
He might be a little more cool with it now since he dropped his date, but I'll pitch the idea to him regardless.

So in a turn of events that would make M. Night Shaymalan proud, I convinced Cape and Bio to come. On the condition that there is a Melee set up. I'm sure that'd be beyond ok with you right?
Plus I'm sure our CP friends would appreciate it.
