How about your mom?

Being an ******* online must bring joy to your life.

And everybody thank Rohan for how he will let the club borrow his new laptop for recording once he gets it for xmas.

lulz, as long as yall don't break it.
I still haven't yet researched what I'd like to get.
My parents prolly have a price ceiling, but maybe if I contribute a little I can make them get me a top-of-the-line one.
Enormous hard drive, tons of RAM, a superb processor, an SD card slot, Windows 7, and of course a PC.
Depending on how great the processor is, I might even be able to run Dolphin on it at full speed and we'll have another "Melee set-up".
My parents have also decided to get a new car, so I may have one next semester.

 

[JackieRabbit5]

Hope to make some meetings next semester, in fact lemme know when first one is so i can ask off

I think i need to practice movement in melee, don't always feel totally in control dashdancing and wavedashing around like how to get faced and spaced the right way.


and don't quit smash, quitting is bad mmk

 

[Hylian]

lol kal I love you

 

[Tirno]

Actually, the truth of the matter is Kal got drunk at my place the other night and tried to do some very inappropriate things to me. Now he's too embarrassed to show his face in the Smash community.

It's okay Kal, we'll still accept you. Well...as much as we did before.

 

[JesusFreak]

Lol, as much as we did before. Kal, we still need to play. Except, if you quit, then I only need to worry about Austin at local tourneys

 

[Kal]

I'd rather play Jamal.

Note: This does not indicate that I actually want to play Jamal.

lawlawlawl

I'm going to watch Avatar in 3D today. I may not come back guys. Hopefully I can get one last good round of Bayonetta in before I die of shock. Also, I got Uncharted 2, and it's ****ing pretty.

Also, Rohan, a laptop that can run Dolphin well would cost like $10^10.

 

[Noc]

Nobody quits melee; once you get a taste of the melee competitive scene, you will be playing until you are too weak to hold the controller or you die, whichever comes first.

My parents have also decided to get a new car, so I may have one next semester.

Ooh, then I wouldn't need to bring a car. You could get a class C parking permit for $74, the lots are on the other side of the stadium. This would be a huge relief for Juan, who drives everything everywhere.

We must play when you get here. Tuesday, right?

Since classes start Jan 19, our first meeting for Spring 2010 will be either saturday Jan 23rd or the next saturday, Jan 30th. Do you guys like the 23rd? I'm thinking the times should be 3-10pm, doesn't start too early and doesn't end too late.

We could start thinking about the event that this meeting will feature. We'll probably do one or two of the events we were planning to do last time but never got around to: smash 64 singles, melee doubles, or brawl crew battle.

Again, our first major event w/ entry fees and prizes will not be until the second meeting. We could start thinking about what this will be too since we do want to start advertising early. Perhaps Brawl singles since our last major tourney was Melee singles. Entry fee will be $5 again and the top prize may be a $50 visa gift card.

i say the 30th. ppl coming back, some would probably be focused on their classes for a little bit. 3-10pm is fine with me, sounds perfect really. if u do a $50 visa gift card this time, i suggest u either NOT have a second place prize (unless u still got the other gift card) or NOT do another money event for the semester.

 

[JesusFreak]

Not another money event? Not fair... I have no reason to go now

 

[Kal]

...

I wish we could limit who posted in this thread. Then again, I'd probably ban everybody.

Except Clay. He rules.

Oh, speaking of a money event, if he does provide a $50 first place prize, there's no reason to not hold more. The larger the prize, the more people show up, so we'll make the money back anyway. At least, it works that way in theory.

In other words, whether we host additional events with cash prizes is dependent on how our previous events go, not on the prizes. The prize doesn't really come out of our pockets, after all.

 

[Kal]

Also, I forgot to mention that Avatar was ****ing epic. I came in my pants 10^81 times.

yea didnt catch the whole 'limit posting' comment.

u may think larger the prize, more will show up, but when u think about entry fees too, u gotta make it high enough to counter it. and some of the prizes they got in the past, though small figurines, those came from juan's pocket i think

 

[JesusFreak]

Kal, don't be such a sourpuss

Yeah, but that was due to limited planning on our part. We don't need a particularly high entrance fee. If we advertise a $75 total prize, then, at $5 per entrant, that only requires 15 entrants to break even. That's not outrageous. With good advertising, that's an extremely easy goal to hit.

Really, an event in one of our first few meetings is a bad idea. We need time to advertise. For example, we could start advertising in January and have an event in March or April. The problem is that our Melee event had only one or two weeks worth of advertisement. And even then we still broke even.

u make a valid point. yea if we advertise for a good while im pretty sure we can get a good turnout. kal how about u determine when the major event should be since YOU ARE the event coordinator

Thnx for the tip, but of course there's no guarantee.
There's not even a guarantee on my new computer right now, since my old one still works fine, my parents don't see it as a huge priority, but we'll see.
You should still be prepared to bring a car next semester, although my parents are DEFINITELY getting a new one before the end of the year.

 

[Noc]

I think we should draw up a calendar with all the days we plan to have meetings, what events they will probably feature, and especially when all the money events for the semester will be. And if we could embed it in this thread somehow or link to it that would be great.

This video has inspired me. We should screw petty tournaments over who's objectively the best and remember what's really important in life. That is, we should hold competitions for style and pure awesome. Slow-motion knees, wombos combos, team combos, and all sorts of ****** **** ftw.

 

[Noc]

Ok, I made a calendar with all Spring 2010 meetings with Google Calendar. It looks like we can fit in 8 meetings next semester if we start on Jan 30 and do every other week. The last meeting would be the Saturday before dead days, May 8. I figure we could have major events on the 4th (March 13, day before spring break which could be a problem...) and 8th (May 8) meetings. The former should be Brawl singles and the latter probably Melee singles.

The calendar can be found here: http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=texas.smash.club%40gmail.com&ctz=America/Chicago. Justin, please put this in the OP.

This is just an initial plan; the dates, times, and events I put are by no means final so let me know what needs to be changed.

 

[Kal]

**** that ****! Let's all just meet at my place some time over the break! Who's still in Austin?

 

[JesusFreak]

Me, but you apparently don't think I count.

 

[Kal]

It's not that you don't count, it's that I don't want to play you.

 

[JesusFreak]

... that's the same thing.

Yeah, we'll just be like DBR and not DI (even though we don't really DI to begin with) so that our combos look cooler

Kind of a stretch, but i'm sure it should work out

 

[Quivillious]

Hey Kal, im up for some matches and ill be in town all this week.

anyone else? lemme know!

 

[chaoscontrolASH]

so playing brawl online for the first time in like 6 months. says he sucks and im thinking "well i have an unfair advantage" lol

 

[Tirno]

Here is a link to the Google Calendar with our tentative Spring semester meeting dates
http://www.google.com/calendar/embed...merica/Chicago

404'd!

Learn to link plz.

 

[chaoscontrolASH]

404'd!

Learn to link plz.

the link works for me

 

[BRLNK88]

Didn't work for me.

 

[chaoscontrolASH]

Google Calendar

does that work?

 

[blackfox51]

I got pwned by Google Chrome using Google Calendar... GG
I'm fixing it

 

[BRLNK88]

That schedule looks good to me, but its hard to believe we can only squeeze in 8 meetings the whole semester.
Makes each one so precious.

 

[Kal]

Wow Rohan, maybe you should write us a poem?

 

[blackfox51]

Wow Rohan, maybe you should write us a poem?

Pretty sure that's Kal's way of saying Merry Christmas haha

 

[BRLNK88]

and a crappy New Year

 

[Kal]

I got a new USB Loader called USB Loader GX. It's awesome. I'll probably take my Wii to the next smash club meeting and just ignore everybody as I **** face at RE4 or MP Trilogy.

 

[-RedShadow]

I'm taking back what I said about Bayonetta a few pages ago. Pretty tight game.

 

[Kal]

Since Jamal likes the game, I'm quitting PP running Bayonetta on non-stop infinite climax for SFIV.
