Goddamnit. Why can't the states have a thriving game center business overall like Japan? This is just depressing.

That really sucks; although, being a family man, I know how it goes.

Here are my thoughts: We (in the US) don't have what the Japanese have, but so what. We have the basic game; and it's not ideal, but we have a way to play and that's Online. Being in SoCal, I wish I could attend the WNFs; all the people that go are hella cool, and that's more important than the game, imho...but, like the guys at Southtown, I have more important priorities...

With that said, make the best of what you have. For me, I'll be on XBL in a room with you VFDC peeps. Also, a big THANK YOU to Akai for his VF Circuit brainchild. Everyone should do what they can to support the cause.

Peace!

I had plans to go out cross-country for this next year, if it was being run with some other stuff I wanted to do.

Hope the SF VF comm lands on its feet.
