Arizona Valley Thread - SUM TOP TIER SHIT ODAMN

[milesokeefe]

I've gotta skip out again this week, and I can't afford to go to West Toast.

Hope you guys have fun! Uh, see you in June.

In other news, I got automatically and permanently banned from all of 4chan for posting a Scorpions album cover in a "Worst Album Covers Ever" thread on /b/:

"in b4 'Virgin Killer'"

"oh yeah, that one's really tasteless. I know, I'll post the first GIS result I get for it!"

LOL FILTER ROCKS YOU LIKE A HURRICANE



BTW, UR PERVERT SEX OFFENDER

[Synthesis]

No, I won't need a ride. I'll just take a bus there after I drop my clothes off at work after school. If I had known that more ps2s were needed, I would have brought mine. oh well.

[Choco]

What the hell? Automatically? I MUST hear more about this. What's going on this weekend with you, anyways?

[milesokeefe]

You know, I suppose I could go, but I was sick until Wednesday (ten days- I was coughing up crap for six, then my throat hurt every time I swallowed for the next four) and I don't know if I want to risk staying up for 22 hours straight quite yet.

Not to make you feel guilty or anything, but I started getting sick when I woke up the Saturday after the last meet.  I suppose I could try leaving at a reasonable hour

As for the 4chan thing, I'm pretty sure the filename triggered the filter and the banning process. Maybe they had problems with people spamming it in the past: "LOL legal CP!" x1000. I don't know.

I did some research while I was contemplating the chances of my ass being vanned.  I know that the album cover wasn't released in the US, but it's on wikipedia, a b&w version of it can be found on US amazon, and you can buy the damned thing on ebay.

I can understand how they'd have little tolerance for anything that has the slightest chance of getting their site shut down, though. I'd probably have done the same thing if I were in their shoes.

EDIT: Scorpiowned! ha!

[Mailorder]

DUDE, I have that pic too.  Although I've been paranoid of getting vanned due to the obvious CP nature of the pic.  The one I have has a shatter-effect on it somewhere.  Dunno if that's part of the design or not.  Anyway, if it's legal.. then I guess it's no problem.

Can't believe it's an actual album cover!  Europe only, eh?

EDIT: Haha.. I just wiki'd it.  Of course the shatter effect was intentional...

And the record label pushed it?!  Geez, couldn't someone at RCA been arrested for this?  Too crazy.

By the way, I'm sure you can appeal your ban.  I got banned for posting a pic of covercat over questionable CP.  Thing is, you couldn't tell if she was CP or not.  By today's standards, she was probably JB.  Either way, I shopped covercat over the vagina and got banned for it.  There wasn't any nudity, everything was covered!  Almost the same thing that happened to you, you know?  But they said it was too borderline or something.  So yep.  But I appealed the ban through e-mail and everything was A-OK.

[Q Chu]

No longer a high school student, whoo.

[Synthesis]

Someone should totally play with me for a couple hours on friday and tell me what I'm doing wrong. Also, I need all the practice I can get on stick, so if at all possible, I will try to be as much as a stick whore as possible. (Suddenly reading over this post, I realize it could be taken extremely badly.)

[Choco]

I'll try to give you some help on Friday. INTENSE TRAINING. Bring your PS2 and Melty if you can.

[vmoney48]

What time are yall going to WT4.

[Choco]

Check the first post, 'tard I put all event information there.

[Q Chu]

So who is a confirmed attendee for tomorrow?

[COD3player]

Is anything going down this Saturday? I'm going to arrive in Phoenix tomorrow night. Hopefully my bro is willing to give me a ride if there is. 

[Mailorder]

So who is a confirmed attendee for tomorrow?

I'm there every friday, so you can expect me there.

Congrats on graduating : )

Is anything going down this Saturday? I'm going to arrive in Phoenix tomorrow night. Hopefully my bro is willing to give me a ride if there is. 

We usually don't have anything happening on Saturday because our energy is exhausted on Friday night - we stay up real late, some bail around 3-4, but I've stayed 'till 7.  And I know 7:00AM is average bedtime time for Choco.  But if your bro can take you to Tempe/Mesa area (which is a 30-40 minute drive southeast), we should make something happen.  I'd love to play your Ciel.

Course, we don't have to just play Melty Blood.  We could even stop by Mesa Golfland.  I'm in the mood, since I just went yesterday and I'm in love with Guitar Freaks.  And yeah, Golfland's got that 8 dollar 10:00AM - 1:00PM all-you-can-play deal on Saturdays.  But I dunno if any of us can wake up for that, so maybe not.

I'd say PM Choco and see what we can work out.  Get his cell number or something.  (I don't have a cell - lost it months ago)

[Q Chu]

Congrats on graduating : )

Thanks 

and I don't suggest going to Golfland, the place has absolutely gone to shit lately.

[Mailorder]

Eh?  How so?  I went yesterday with a saved wristband just fine.  Got myself some free arcade gaming for three hours, heh heh heh!

I guess you're referring to the actual games?  DDR SuperNOVA, Extreme and In the Groove's pads are as responsive as ever.  Guitar Freaks is responsive, as is IIDX.  Surprisingly, even MvC2 is responsive (but no one plays that poopy game anyway).  Sadly, one of T5:DR's sticks is screwed up.  But oh well, I'm there for rhythm games and Maximum Tune 2, anyway!

[Q Chu]

MvC2 isn't responsive anymore, at least the 2P side isn't, it's pretty fucked. CvS2 is fucked. They don't have drumsticks attached to the DM machine, or available for checkout. IIDX was fucked the last time I went, the middle black button sent a jam signal, and it also gave me a coin error and ceased to work completely.

I miss the Golfland of 2004

[Mailorder]

You must have went on a bad day <.<

[Jaxx]

good matches this weekend, even though I had to cut it short...as usual I caught mailorder with the Last Arc from nero 

pay attention foo

[Mailorder]

I had you at 50/50 when we moved to the other room, man!  I'll admit.. I dropped my guard at that moment.  But I'm steppin' it up, man!  This time, I mean it... that blood heat... NOT GONNA WORK NO MORE >: |

[Choco]

So, people seemed to have leveled up in AZ Good work Wakka, Mailorder, Jaxx... and I won't say any harsh words to Q Chu or Shashin. You two know what you need to work on, and you also know to stop blocking with your face. It'll just take a little time, I know

West Toast 4 this weekend, guys! No meeting at my place! People who I must force to come: Mailorder, Jaxx, Shashin. Since that makes four of us, I won't demand we split up into two cars or anything.

[vmoney48]

I am happy I am here in Texas. My Red Arc has lvl up since I got down here, and my GGXX game as improved as well.

[Choco]

Sounds good. I hope you mean you can at least 50/50 me after West Toast 4

[vmoney48]

we will see.

[Mailorder]

Q Chu definitely leveled up this weekend.  His Red Arc was faster than the last time I played him.  However, I did feel like his Red Arc was better earlier in the evening than near the end : p

So V isn't gonna make WT4?

[vmoney48]

No.
