More info to come!

Droid

A week before E3? Sounds good. I'll see what I can do to make it.,

Holy bombs over Bagdad,Batman! I'm in!

BIG-

im coming, put me on teh list...and ill be bringing my PSP and X-Bawks



edit: left a phone message for you, droid ^__^

It blows my mind how in I am.

Sorry about my awkward ass name. I'm gonna try and bribe a mod to change it for me. Just make it Shirt.

I also declare my nickname to be Douchedrink McQueefshits

Tom,

Definitely count me in. This is the Saturday after E3, correct?

Phillip

dude wtf...droid, do you hate me or something??? i thought we were good buds T__T

Oh man... another SoCal meeting at the OC. The last one kicked ass and I am sure this one will be sweet too. However, due to some issues with the feds, I don't think I can make this one. But I will let you know as the time approaches. There needs to be another Samurai Shodown 5 Special tournament, so I can get revenger on my SS5S rival, jdiamond!

I think there should be a different tourney each meet, but I don't know how good that would turn out. The first meet was a 2k3 tourney, 2nd was a SSVS or SSV tourney. WIll you be doing SS again, or will we all vote on a game?

I vote Third Strike.

Damn... I wouldn't mind playing SSVS again... but this time around I'd probably get owned by everyone... since I haven't touched the game since.... last gathering at droid's place.

Give it up,Gib,there won't be any MotW tourneys...

BIG-

Count me in.
I'll be bringing my modded PS2 with Neo Stick 2, Neo CD Pad 2, and some PS2-exclusive stuff like KOF94Rebout.

As much as I'd like a Garou tourney to happen, I know it won't since most of the people at the last few meets didn't play it. I'm thinking more older titles, like FFS, Breakers, some of the RB games or KOF 2k2. I think 2k2 would be the best out of the bunch to do a tourney for. There's a good chance Jose would take it though.

Hmmm, 2002 tourney..

You sounds like you're interested in coming this time. Hopefully we can meet up with eachother and you can beat me down in KOF.....like you always do, you thong wearing bastard.

We will definitely hold a few tourneys. SSVS is a certainty. We are open to other titles provided there is enough players to make it happen. As for KoF2k2, that will all depend if MasterGiby and LWK make it down here this time around. I can assure you both, you will not be disappointed if you do.

How do you guys feel about a small cover ($10) to go towards tourney prizes? Also if anyone has gaming related stuff they wish to donate towards tourneys and random drawings, please let us know.

Iron Sheik out!

And remember this hookup isnt limited to just the locals. If you're planning on being in town for E3 and want to join us drop a pm we'll bring it before the collective joint chiefs of staff to decide once we find out how many open slots we can support.

Jindo,

Your mission, should you accept, is to kidnap 300wins and drive him down here friday night, game all day saturday then drive him back Sunday morning.

No beheading tape unless 300wins flakes out.

Roger that,I'm always down to contribute a lil' sumpfin' sumpfin' for teh meet..be it monetary contribution or random goodies,lemme know and I'll see what I can do.

Shock and Awe,over and out.

BIG-

I'd love to bring the madness once again, droid. You and Sung rock it well and good.

On a slightly different tip, I motion to change sonofx51's name to "Basara Banzai" or something to that effect. I mean, given Iraqi geography and his choice and manner of playing with Basara, it almost writes itself...
