[WA] Perth Smash Thread

[Pete278]

All I meant was not to go in looking like a hobo ^^ I didn't mean like slicked back hair, suit and tie, champagne-in-one-hand-cigar-in-the-other type stuff (though that last one.... )



Don't tempt me with such notions!!! Must... save... cash.......

I was going to go in as a Pierce Brosnan impersonator, but if that was all you meant...

 

[Vlade]

Vlade just don't go on the band trip lol. Then we can have it in July./FONT]

Not happening, especially since I won't ever get another opportunity like this in my life

Clearly, music is more important than Brawl. [/sarcasm]

:D

 

[Technodeath]

just go to band camp and get a flute shoved in your vag

die heathen

 

[Pete278]

die heathen

The sarcasm was sarcasm. My ball date, for instance, utterly loves music, and if she heard me say that, I wouldn't be able to come to the next Brawl tournament due to being in torture for the next 10 years.

The lighthearted joke was a lighthearted joke
Fail be with you

 

[Technodeath]

Brawl is my favourite thing really, followed by my music, which people consider trash by people such as pete.

EDIT: BAD GRAMMAR IS BAD.

 

[Marteh]

Okay FF9 is so unfair. Second last boss. He has an attack called Flare star, it's damage is 35 x (your level) so basically if you're level 99 for example it's 3465, which more than 1/3 of your max hp no matter what level..HE DID IT 3 TIMES IN A ROW ><

 

[Technodeath]

use auto life?

 

[MTGod]

Man I wish I had musical talent lol But I don't mind just listening to it I guess... 'specially when Karnivool's around

My dream gig: Karnivool, supported by Skindred, Mars Volta and Dead Letter Circus SALIVATING just at the thought of that

 

[Jupz]

Karnivool Rules!!

Listening to set fire to the hive nao

 

[MTGod]

Man, that's the only song I haven't got sick of after using it as my ring tone Bloody wicked live!!!!

Still, off Sound Awake I am prefering Deadman and Goliath at the moment I think it's because I've been listening to a lot of other faster stuff similar to Set Fire and Karnivool offers my change of pace

[Hobobloke]

SQUAT hype!

Who's going for sure and who is still "umm...well...i dunno....maybe"? be helpful to know so we can start booking tickets/look at housing or accommodation etc.

 

[Vlade]

I'm more of a jpop fan myself

 

[Jupz]

eww pop lol

<3 vlade


you guys go ahead and book for squat; if I can come, ill probably be staying with my cousins.

 

[Vlade]

jpop =/= pop

I can't stand pop rofl

 

[Technodeath]

Cannibal Corpse is good.

 

[Jupz]

Lol I'll have to listen to jpop sometime

 

[Vlade]

It'd be good if you could appreciate it

Not many people get passed the 'Can't understand anything' barrier

 

[Alzi]

I enjoy basically any sort of music mainly techno. But rocky, heavy metal and all that lol i hate it badly.

 

[Pete278]

Does the Convenience Store song count as j-pop?

 

[Jikko]

The 6th would suit me better, but the 29th might be possible

 

[Vlade]

Does the Convenience Store song count as j-pop?

It deserves its own genre :D

 

[MTGod]

JPop

What "type" of Jpop, though??? Everyone's (by everyone, I mean Western people who haven't been to Japan) refer to pretty much any song sung in Japanese as JPop, and therefore attaches a stigma to it under the "pop" genre...

For me, good music has no language barrier I enjoy Acidman just as much as I would enjoy the Butterfly Effect... It's just a shame that it's so hard for non-English bands to break through to Western society

PAL zones for games try to do their part by adding foreign songs to their track list, but really most of the good stuff won't get on there, because it's not "commercial" enough... Which is sad, because I would love to see what France's answer to gangsta rap would be

EDIT: I youtubed it... I didn't like the result But then again, not a big fan of rap in the first place I guess

A mixture of stuff. Favourite artists would be Ikimono Gakari, High and Mighty Colour, Flumpool, Mr Children, L'Arc~en~Ciel, UVERworld to name a few


More people need to break passed the language barrier

 

[Bsrk_]

29th would be better imo_ Gives time for people to relax and get mentally ready for SQUAT_ Graeme msged me about SQUAT and it seems he will be booking tickets to come along_

Pete is doing a good job looking for venues etc_ I agree with Kane about setting a plan about sponsors etc and how we should approach them_ I think currently everyone is snowed under with school and SQUAT hype to even think about our national next year_ Personally i would like a day/ night were we can get together and really discuss what we are aiming to achieve with this national_

I'm talking physical numbers about participation, side events, catering, housing, sponsorship, possible locations etc_ If everyone can get as much information as possible beforehand, it will really help us decide on which paths we should take_ I;m assuming we willl have more serious discussions about this after SQUAT_

 

[Alzi]

I will do the posters.

I can first do like a simple poster just to get peoples attention then later on the year have the stores replace them with this hell nice looking one to sorta hype it up for people who saw the first one. If you know what i mean.

 

[Marteh]

I'm more into J-Rock myself, but J-Pop is good. I really need to re download alot of my music..

 

[Hobobloke]

Does Graeme want to book tickets with us or has he got it sorted out? Also are we going to try and get housing or book a hotel?

 

[MTGod]

Ah okay, I see what you're getting at now: not the bubbly "Hare Hare Yukai" like stuff I like some of UVERworld's songs

EDIT: >agrees with Bob about discussion after Squat ^^

Catering is absurdly expensive everywhere, so I recommend everyone just buys their own food from the restraunt if they want it. $48/a head is not necessary if people don't want it. Participation, we only have flawed estimates at the moment, but I'm sure we'll be able to find some numbers soon. SF4, we're looking at at least 40, I can say that much. Gametraders pulled 32 for a mini-tournament in Perth, so we can outdo that. Plus, not many will come from out of state, really. Brawl/Melee are harder to judge for, though.

EDIT: I mean, we can discuss catering if you guys want post-SQUAT, but really, $48/head from the University is way too much, and they're probably cheaper than the other options.

 

[Alzi]

If my social skills have improved i might take some photo's at the national next year.

Theres pics of bringer in the boost thread!

 

[MTGod]

I completely agree with Pete on the catering issue, especially considering the abundance of food options: UWA/any university has food outlets there, which should be operational up until mid December (as the academics work til about then)... Conv. Centre/anywhere in the city has food outlets sprawled throughout the city...

But, of course, this will also factor into the decision - we can't hold it in a venue where food cannot be easily/cheaply accessed, or people will rage

 

[Hobobloke]

Grand finals are up on youtube guys.

 

[Vlade]

I was meant to say that

I don't think ALL of the matches are up though, homework time :S

 

[True Romance]

Although I would rather of played gfs, commentating was fun :D

 

[Hobobloke]

I like stealing the spotlight.

Sorry I did next to no commentating and left you alone a lot Pete but by the end of the day i was feeling very tired and couldn't be bothered.

 

[Mic_128]

And then that **** Mario came up and was all "Stop stealing Peach!" and he was all "Look, I'm too tired for this. She's in the boot of the car. Just take her."

 

[Marteh]

Ah okay, I see what you're getting at now: not the bubbly "Hare Hare Yukai" like stuff I like some of UVERworld's songs

Never diss Hare Hare Yukai or Motteke Sera Fuku. Oh and I think odds of me making Squat are like 5% at best v_v
