Tournaments and Events / Re: AX in Long Beach, CA

« on: July 25, 2007, 08:45:00 AM »

They really tore into con-goers wallets this year with the premier tickets and all. Hell they were giving away free tickets at almost every event which made the 4 hour line and $30-50 spent practically worthless.

i guess it'll take one shitty year at the LACC to let them waste all the money into if for shit like "shuttles". Seriously FUCK SHUTTLES.

Shuttles are one thing, I think this guy was thinking more along the line of buses. There's no way that I would willingly go to a con where I would need to take a bus to and from my hotel (which would probably be right out of walking distance anyways) simply to keep me safe at night. Also with around 44,000+ people all trying to get to the same place at the same time I can already see that this whole bus idea is a major fail.

I think next year's going to be the year that AX actually shrinks in terms of attendance. I would love to see around only 500 hardcore AX fans show up next year, that would definitely give them a kick in the ass to get some major changes rolling...

Yea, I'm seriously considering passing on next years Expo. I guess I'll just wait and see how things turn out.

Sounds good. Depending if it's during my work hours or not i'd definitely be up to getting my ass kicked in a tourney. I'll keep my eyes open for when you post the details.

I'm chiming in a bit late here but did anyone read the post AX interview with Chase Wang attempting to address all the complaints made this year. I read this in it's entirety and I only came to one conclusion. Chase Wang is a fuzzbag.

Some random youtube videos of the arcade.

I am sooo glad no one captured my matches on video, they were horrid. So horrid in fact that watching them could make a person lose any faith they had in being able to turn a bad player into a decent one...

Well that might be true but personally I'm happy just to find out that there's a box in my local area. Hell for a while there I thought the only chance I would get to play an arcade version would be to go down to SoCal...

Hahaha, I remember this game. I always liked to think this was made as some sort of revenge by the game developers at Stellar Stone for being forced to work for table scraps or something.

I'm liking the one where it looks like Akiha just awakened her third eye.

Akiha's Tea Room / Re: So, what are you guys currently watching?(Anime)

« on: July 23, 2007, 03:11:29 PM »

Yes, the show is full of win. Sumi and Ink are absolutely adorable, fall on their faces all the time, and according to the show are 17yr old.

It's all about the cellphone transformation sequence...

Anyways, right now I'm watching Sumomo mo Momo mo, Sola, and for some unexplainable reason the first season of Ikki Tousen.

Hey I'm Dev and I reside in NorCal. I've been lurking around Meltybread for awhile now but it wasn't untill I went to AX and talked to a few forum goers (mostly Mailorder) that I decided to stop being lazy and create an account. So here I am...
