We've had get togethers at my place over the last couple of years. My wife and I have a house, so it's possible to have 5 or 6 PS2 set-ups running with some room to spare.

Your wife must LOVE this. She must wonder why you couldn't just get into poker like everyone else. /versus/images/graemlins/smile.gif

/versus/images/graemlins/grin.gif Actually, she does. She plays VF (w/ Lei Fei). Her game is better than mine.

I own a graphic design firm that I'm turning into an advertising agency (big learning curve there). I'm out in Riverside, CA - 50 to 60 miles east of Los Angeles.

its all on a volunteer basis for now, we probably can get into e3 and the other traditional perks , and we're looking to make it big soon, PM me for details.

I'm on it. I work with Gaming News Daily, Game Info Wire and UNleashed Magazine these days...I would have gone to the Spike TV's VGAs but I just slept on the form too long. I was at G4's G-Phoria...talked to Ed Boon (WOO! I told him to put a full version of MK2 into MK6).

Anyway, I'll PM you and we can talk...

 

Damn, this hospitality makes me wish I was closer to LA =)

Too nice man... too nice.

 

Hey, nice meeting some of y'all the other night.

I promise to practice my Jacky game, and maybe a little bit of Brad!

 

Hi all, I just bought a PS2 for the sole purpose of playing VF4. Yeah, I'm pretty green at this but I did pretty well in VF2 long time ago and the last few days I've had this game I've been practicing around 3 hours each night after work. You all seem like a great bunch and I was hoping to finally play some human opponents instead of the computer. I am concerned about my skill level though. Are there other newbies that come to your meetings? I've had my nephew play with me and he's taken an interest in how involved the game can be. I was hoping I can bring him along with myself to one of your gatherings. I have an arcade style controller and I might get another. I'll gladly bring what I have for additional setups. If anyone lives close to me and would like to play, I'd be delighted to play. I live in the city of Rosemead, about 20 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. As mentioned, you'll probably have to put up with my lack of skill until I get better though. Anyway, gonna practice now. Thanks for listening.

 

welcome...just keep an eye on this thread. We should be having a meet soon. Don't worry about being a newbie we were all there at one time.... well maybe not me /versus/images/graemlins/wink.gif The more the merrier.

 

I'm a newbie!

 

I was a newbie before playing humans (maybe still am), but after playing for a while with these nice guys, your skill level will eventually progress gradually over time and you will learn and see new tactics and strategies...such a marvel

 

SOMEONE HOST A MEET TOMMOROW, FRIDAY NIGHT, kthatisallbye.

 

I can

 

not....sorry couldn't resist /versus/images/graemlins/smile.gif ...move along nothing to see here

 

people can come to my place. /versus/images/graemlins/cool.gif Might take a while to get to my place.... heheh

 

where's this place at?

 

It's time to play in SoCal

Plague's house is open for super VF action.

Date: February, Friday the 13th.

Time: 7:30 pm till...

Place: Riverside, CA. PM for directions and phone numbers if you need them.

What we provide: Three TVs (one needs RF modulator), US PS2 with Evo, Japanese PS2 with Evo, two evo sticks, two ASCII sticks, fridge full of soda, couple or three bags of chips, places to sit, room for five or six VF setups.

What you all need to bring: Biggest TVs you can come up with and fit in your car (remember, it's better to have too many), POWER STRIPS, your PS2s, your sticks, your evo discs, and an RF modulator for one of our TVs.

What about food? Everyone usually chips in for food. Lots of fast food in area plus we found a new, less expensive pizza that tastes good!

Who's gonna be there? Well, in the past we've had Spotlite, Andy, Joey, Mike90210, vf4akira (seriously, YOU come to our place - flights are cheap from Japan, right?), LPC73, Gribbly and Team Pandemic (Austin, Forrester, Jimmy), Team Tokyo Mafia (PhoenixDth, Sean, GoatCheeseBlues), SillyWilly, Ken_I, Rikyu, KTallguy, Adam, Banes, Jake, Harlock, and many more! Sometimes 14 people at once with five set ups running!

That fucking rocks!

Maybe this time we'll get six setups going.

Please post your intent to show up right here on this thread - makes it more exciting for all the fence sitters out there - and it's easier for us to plan the beverage purchase.

Can't wait to see everyone again. And to all the new players - you won't find a nicer group - everyone's great to be around.

 

Re: It's time to play in SoCal

i should be down for this

 

Re: It's time to play in SoCal

Very cool that you can make it.

I called Gribbly today and he believes he and team pandemic should attend. He will have to confirm, though. I can't speak for him.

 

Re: It's time to play in SoCal

Hi folks, can I come too? I can bring one joystick, a copy of VF evo, and a great lack of experience. Looking forward to playing with ya'll

 

Re: It's time to play in SoCal

Yes, you can come. Newcomers are welcome.

Don't worry about lacking experience. I'll be suprised if anyone gives you a bad time about it.

Check your PMs in the My Home section for address/directions/phone numbers.


Looking forward to meeting you.
