West Midlands Monthly Next: Feb 11/12th!!!!!!..Look in thread!! BIRMINGHAM!

[Yeniths]

LOL did it? I don't even remember I was more focused on teaching you Melee (the game of kings).

OK Maybe I do a little bit but if you don't want me to I won't!

 

[Tamoo]

lool gigas! You got any drag off promo?

Man that looked so tempting to play though. I should have like 4 different decks by the time you're down. We need so many recorded sets, both cards and smash obv

Oh yeah, Brad's staying sat night so round the world? :D

 

[B.Mack]

oh no, I'd much rather you sandbag and I at least get a few wins... although I remember one EPIC rest I got against your Falcon...

I wavedashed towards you(so close we were touching), then I crouched to avoid your jab. then you panic-shielded. I just waited next to you and rested your *** as soon as you dropped shield. it was epic to say the least.

 

[Yeniths]

Boo at rests Although I love doing then myself never enjoyed Jiggs lol.

I have 2 Drag off and 2 LA ones, not sure what I'm doing with it all tho lol but I'll have a few decks for when I'm up.

I've gotten a lot better at Smash to so looking forward to that also, my tech skill is goooood.

 

[Tamoo]

I just bought a RH tv reporter for $1.50 mint.

Check how much it's worth

Raaaaaaaaape

 

[Yeniths]

I HAVE THAT CARD IN RH (maybe, I best look for it lol) from my old sets! :s. Looking at past listings and it's so weird, some gone for $2 some of like $60+ lol wtf.

 

[Tamoo]

You gotta find it! Man I can't believe it's worth that much lol, I saw ppl trading like mad for it on the gym, gonna save it till there's something I really need

 

[B.Mack]

I bought my Wii for £1.50 and paid £1.50 for postage.

Get @ me son.

 

[Tamoo]

wtf lol, where from, freecycle or something lol?

 

[ddiz]

wouldnt make sense if it was freecycle

 

[Tamoo]

That's as good as free though lol.

Did it come with things like controllers and stuff too?

 

[Hao]

Time to buy some SSBM skills.

OH NO HE DIDN'T (!).

 

[Jolteon]

wtf £3 wii, where? LOL.

 

[B.Mack]

yeah, came with controller and Wii Sports... Won it on one of them online auction things... who knows... I coulda had an Xbox360 instead and never met any of you ***s.

The site that did those auctions closed shortly afterwards because they werent making any money LOL.

 

[Rickerdy-doo-da-day]

My laptop broke a while ago and I've only just managed to get Wi Fi on my Wii working which is why I haven't been on


I finally plucked up the courage to tell my parents about this/attending tournaments (something I've been wanting to do for a year or so), told them all the info, that it wasn't at someones house but at a venue (Good) and I was going by myself (Bad) and there would be people I didn't know there (Very bad). I could have just not bothered and gone but I thought it'd be disrespectful to not be truthful about this with them

To cut the long story short, they were very unhappy. They basically told me that I had a lot of other commitments on and that it was unsafe to go to something like this by myself, which is fair enough
They also added that these kind of things are for 'sad' people who are 'losers' and don't have any 'normal' friends because all my 'normal' friends would never even think of doing something like this. 'Sad' people play these games but have nothing else in common with the people they play with so they spend all day on them and don't actually bother with people unless its video game related


I was sort of expecting this kind of reaction (although I was hoping they'd be a bit more accepting) but I didn't realise I'd be so upset about it. I really wish I hadn't said anything now


I've completely lost all motivation to go to/think about going to these things or even play Smash so you can count me out. Sorry Hao and sorry BMack, I would have liked to have done some Brawling. I apologise for the long drama story, hope you guys have fun at these events

 

[Tamoo]

your parents are 'sad' and 'losers' and have no 'normal' friends.

Nyaaah

How dyou like that!

That sucks though man, don't really care for brawl/brawlers but it sucks to not be allowed to do what you want or not be able to do a hobby, no matter what it is, especially thanks to a horribly uniformed and stereotyped viewpoint.

 

[ddiz]

sad people? losers? no normal friends? thats quite harsh.........

 

[The Filth]

Lmfao, love clueless mongs.

 

[B.Mack]

wow Rickerdy... your parents are harsh. even though we have actual "sad losers with no normal friends" who play smash, loads o us still have active, healthy social lives outside of smash.

Sorry to say but your parents seem rather ignorant. I wouldnt stand for that bull****.

 

[Jolteon]

Rickerdy, why don't you get your parents to come along? If they have any issues with the community they can see for themselves how wrong they are.

 

[Brado]

Once they see how much swag me and Willz got theyll be encouraging you to come play smash

 

[ddiz]

Rickerdy, why don't you get your parents to come along? If they have any issues with the community they can see for themselves how wrong they are.

probs wont happen cuz they would be too proud to admit how wrong they were

 

[Jolteon]

Ignorant=!Proud.

Just make sure they don't see Brad and you'll be fine!

 

[rustediron]

I would be wary about showing anyone the Brawl community and expecting them to come away with a good impression =/

 

[B.Mack]

another post implying Melee community > Brawl community? its kinda old now.

 

[Brado]

But it's true...

 

[Rizul]

Like others before me said. Your parents are obviously the 'losers' and so on. Tournies are always full of very social, helpfull and overall awesome people. So your parents basicly don't want you to have a hobby with other people? How on earth are you supposed to get new friends then?

I know we played for quite some time on laggy WiFi now. It sucks that your parents have such clouded and ignorant vision.

 

[Bullet Bill]

Agreed.

wait until you go to Uni or move out. Then your parents can kick and scream all they want but it's none of their business . How old are you anyway? Because if you're over 18 then it really isn't any of their business

 

[B.Mack]

if my parents ever even asked I'd just say I was hanging out with friends... its really not an issue.

 

[Rickerdy-doo-da-day]

The ridiculous thing is that I am at Uni so tbh I should just say '**** it' and go anyway

I love my family to pieces, they're anything but losers and have a huge amount of respect for them but at the same time I was pretty upset that none of them showed any support for me with regards to this whereas if it had been anything else they would have been cool with it

I'm still undecided as to whether I just ignore or tell them I'm going w/e they think

 

[Jolteon]

Oh wow. Yeah, just go anyway, lmao.

 

[Tamoo]

Wow I can't imagine telling my parents every step I take. Do you live with them then I take it? If not, then you should 100% just go anyway.

The way I see it, I've told my mum, she hates the fact that I'm part of a gaming community and a TCG community and would much rather I wasn't, but accepts that it's my life and I'm just living it doing what I want to do and what I enjoy. We've only got one life dude (well not according to my buddhist mum so that argument went out of the window) so we just gotta take it and live it how we want to live it within reason.

 

[B.Mack]

Rick, heres what ur gonna do. Go anyway. if they ask, just say you went to visit some friends. SIMPLE.
I have mad respect for my family too but that doesnt mean I'm gonna let them control my every move. srsly man, take your balls out of the family mailbox. :V

 

[Brado]

At the minute I can't come cause everyone I work with is an ignorant chav -.-
I'll work on being able to come but it's pretty unlikely I can make it

 

[Hao]

Nnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Brado]

Sorry man nothing i can do about it really
Sundays ftw

well I think it would be a good thing to do to go to these events if you want to because at your age it's completely up to you. Bear in mind that your parents are calling smash players sad without having met any of us or seen any events or know anything about the community. It couldn't be further from the truth and it'd be a big shame if you let that change your mind about attending

 

[Yeniths]

Dang you Brad comeeee I really need practice for the monthly lol, tourney will finish early anyway, even as early as 3 tbh so you can make work at night?

 

[Jolteon]

Brad's just scared
