tl;dr: AM5 AYYYYYYYYYYYYYThank you all for coming to AM5 and making it a family-oriented and clean event. Here is the rundown.
+ Korean BBQ was godlike even though we killed it
+ Good seeing everyone again
+ Got a lot of games in both sober and drunk
+ Leveled up my drinking game
+ Even with the headcount it wasn't too cramped so future AMs will probably be good to go for the same number of people
+ We got a noise complaint but later I found out it was from people hanging out in the backyard; once the windows and doors were shut everything was cool and I checked with the neighbor today and he said it was no problem
+ No problems dropping people off despite near last-minute panic over MBread being down
- Very disappointed in myself for losing last second to Jiyuna in SF4 when he gave the match to me
- Related to that, Abel/Guile is really bad and I was not ready for it on 4 hours of sleep, apologies to Xie
- Some of my walls got scuffed from people moving shit and the futon
- Ceiling was leaking due to An Incident which hopefully is not going to happen again
- Being stuck in 91 traffic for 2 hours on the way here; next time we're doing pickups and dropoffs before noon
Thanks to EC for coming out: Spooky, Jiyuna, Nas, sibladeko, Comic-Z, and Rithli. I expected worse but you guys kept things straight.
Thanks to Spidey and Carl for helping me run pickups, I would not have been able to do that drive more than once a day.
Thanks to Xie for the HDTV, even though it lagged, and HF for the PS3 setup.
TGS should've came out Sunday night for SF4, it was sort of disappointing not having him around. Aside from that, looking forward to those eventual SF4 sessions.
Props to JeffM for coming down from NorCal to take all comers in HNK and rep Boxer in SF.
I appreciate Ampcoast for making an appearance: swedish, kijea, and Malty. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and the atmosphere was distinctly less awkward this time (except where kijea was involved).
Thanks to the GG players that showed up: Hellmonkey, Stormlocke, Justus, TheBiter, Psylocke, and Brett. It's a shame BB didn't make it but there's always another time.
Good seeing Tempered again. Dippy needs to scale down his hype a bit, there was some unwelcome ugliness the first day. Choco, you need to step your shit up for next time.
PicturesI didn't take many, sorry. Others did.
Pho runPho run (other side)EC too serious about Korean BBQVideosDay 1Day 3 - Niggas knocked the fuck outDay 3.5 - Fuck SF4 Bushido Blade is where it's atLost and FoundSome of these might have been deliberately left behind, some are definitely not.
Coleman sleeping bagLogitech USB mouse Carl's
Cheapass earphonesLooks like a USB -> miniUSB adapter? Xie's
Fabulous white belt. Probably Rithli's. JIYUNA LOL
Buttondown shirt. Tag says Utility. This has been around since AM4 and neither tenkai nor HF claimed it.
Blue towel. Good chance this is mine and I'm too tired to realize it.
Gray towel. Almost definitely not mine.
Green towel. Might be mine. Xie's
Also Xie's TV stand
I'm going to probably just assimilate the stuff for my own use with the obvious exception of the belt and the shirt. If you recognize something please post up so I can get it back to you somehow.
See you guys at AM6.
