<div>Video: <a href="" rel="external nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqfxCm6vUMY</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>We’re back! Again, thanks to our friends of the JLA (Jornadas Lúdicas Andaluzas) we have some space for ourselves </div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>What are the JLA?</strong></div>
<div>They’re some days which were first dedicated to board games, but nowadays they’re related to other kind of activites related with the freak world.</div>
<div>Since 2006 they have been celebrated in the University Residence “Fernando de los Rios” in Granada.</div>
<div>JLA offer a complete map of activities which are celebrated on an uninterrumped timetable since their starting on 31st July until 3rd August of 2014. They also offer some apartments for renting during the event, so you don’t have to go to an hotel and spend more money.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>Which are the advantages of staying in the residence during the entire event?</strong></div>
<div>First and principal advantage is the low Price. The organisation offer us low prices to allow us to share apartment between various people, between two or four people.</div>
<div>Those apartments have:</div>
<div>-<span> </span>Kitchen (Fridge, freezer, electric kitchen, sink)</div>
<div>-<span> </span>Bedrooms</div>
<div>-<span> </span>Dining room.</div>
<div>-<span> </span>Bathroom</div>
<div>And the more important thing, you won’t have to walk to reach the event and you will be able to play 96 hours without limits.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>OK, how do I do the reservation?</strong></div>
<div>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="background-color:rgb(247,247,247);">Do you want to come and you don't know how? Easy! You just have to fill in our inscription form and follow the instructions. To all them which are for first year at the residence, we inform that it is divided into apartments. Each one has bathroom, living room, kitchen and two bedrooms.</span> </span></p>
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This year, we have 110 vacancys, in the following modalities:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Option A) Bedrooms with 2 beds each, in other words, 4 beds for  apartment whose price is 50 Euros per bed (200 Euros in total)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Option B) Bedrooms with 1 bed each, in other words, 2 beds for  apartment, whose price is 60 Euros per bed (120 Euros in total)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If all vacancys of the option B were occupied, we will procced to their assignment by order of reservation.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Everyone who asks for bed sheets, will be providen with them. But the towels should be brought from your houses.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You must do the deposit in this account:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<p> </p>
<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote"><div>IBAN: ES85 3023 0129 2555 5917 3702<br>
BIC: BCOEESMM023</div></blockquote>
</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Providing your name (of course) and the concept should be "JLA" and the option you choose.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Once you have done the payment, please send us an e-mail to spaintoptiers@gmail.com including data of who will be with you in the apartment (name, surname and ID's) and we will process your reservation. We also will need, due to the residence politics, a copy of the ID card of each person that will be in the apartment, you can send it with the e-mail.</div>
<div>You can also do by yourself following this link, if you haven't got problems with the spanish language.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="background-color:rgb(247,247,247);">Are you coming to the JLA and it's your first time? Don't you know what to do to arrive to the residence? Don't you know the sense of life? Don't panic! Here you are, the DE-FI-NI-TI-VE guide (not really) for the JLA...</span></span></div>
<div>
<p> </p>
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. First of all, don't forget to bring a towel: If you're gonna sleep at the residence, remember that you will be given with some bed sheets, but not towels. So better bring one from your house.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2. Basic survival stuff: Shower gel, shampoo if you need (unless you're a bald guy as me), deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrush, shaving tools, intimate hygiene tools... all you would bring if you were travelling.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>3. Did you forget something? Don't panic!: In this case, if you forgot something, you can go to Alcampo mall and buy it there. It's a short walk away from here, and what's more, it's downhill.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>4. Food?: The apartments have kitchen, so if you want to buy food and cook it, you're free to do it. If you haven't got chef skills, don't panic! You can order some pizzas or chinesse food and ask them to bring it to the JLA. Ask on the left-luggage office, we'll have publicity of the different restaurants and fast food services. Also, in Alcampo mall you have a McDonalds restaurant.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>How to get here:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>• From bus station:</div>
<div> </div>
<div><a href="" rel="external nofollow">https://www.google.es/maps/dir/Estaci%C3%B3n+de+Autobuses+de+Granada,+Granada/Residencia+de+Estudiantes+Fernando+de+los+R%C3%ADos,+Camino+de+Alfacar,+28,+Granada/@37.20092,-3.60594,16z/data=!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0xd71fcfd7fd005d7:0x3a0fcf187b7b707a!2m2!1d-3.614062!2d37.199424!1m5!1m1!1s0xd71fd21231d7675:0xfa9fbc1334d8bc0e!2m2!1d-3.597508!2d37.203182?hl=es</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>• From airport:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you come by plane, Granada's airport is little, so it's not difficult to find out the bus which should be waiting there. It's an special bus, much cheaper than a taxi. One of his stops is at the bus station, we reccomend you to stop there, because the event is near there. Then, use the map that you were given in the last point.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>• From RENFE station (trains):</div>
<div> </div>
<div><a href="" rel="external nofollow">https://www.google.es/maps/preview?f=d&amp;source=embed&amp;saddr=Granada&amp;daddr=Residencia+de+Estudiantes+Fernando+de+los+R%C3%ADos,+Camino+de+Alfacar,+28,+Granada&amp;hl=es&amp;geocode=FSZiNwIdvu3I_ylRv4eH7vxxDTExDEB0zAkTWw%3BFe6sNwIdPBvJ_yEOvNg0E7yf-il1dh0jIf1xDTEOvNg0E7yf-g&amp;aq=&amp;sll=37.289897,-3.568497&amp;sspn=0.293899,0.676346&amp;mra=iwd&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=37.193011,-3.603311&amp;spn=0.020382,0.011645&amp;t=m</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>• From any other part of the city: Line 5 of the city buses left you in front of our door. The only thing you should do is to ask politely</div>
<div>the driver to tell you when you arrive at the stop of "Fernando de los Rios", which happens to be the last of their trayect. Here you are </div>
<div>a link to the Rover lines: <a href="" rel="external nofollow">http://www.transportesrober.com/transporte/lineas.htm#</a> in which you can find the lines, stops and trayects.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Finally, here you have a map showing how to get to Alcampo mall from the residence, so you can buy your food and things for surviving:</div>

<p>Hello Dustloop. In just a few months it will be time for Brisbane's largest competitive fighting game tournament, ButtonSmash 2. The guys over at Keep Et Classy have put a lot of effort into making this bigger and better than ever, and I'm lucky enough to be helping them run Blazblue. There will be tournaments for all your favourite fighting games. There will be streaming. There will be interstate players and rivalries. There will be fun times to be had.</p><p>
</p><p>
</p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-88SXrqrHL8" rel="external nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-88SXrqrHL8</a></p><p>

9:00 am - 8:00 pm</p><p>
</p><p>
<strong>Where</strong></p><p>
Found - 21 Collingwood st Albion</p><p>
</p><p>
We are extremely lucky to be able to use such an up and coming venue. Set in a done up warehouse that just oozes style, FOUND is going to be one hot place for future events coming. Located extremely close to public transport and food/beverages we think FOUND will definitely knock your socks off</p><p>
</p><p>
<strong>Games</strong></p><p>
Look forward to what is likely going to be the biggest Blazblue tournament in Queensland this year. There will be all of the major fighting games available for both tournament and casual play. If your game isn't a tournament game then there will be casuals. Persona, GuiltyGear and Arcana Heart 3 will be made available, as will many arcade classics, doujins and kusoge. If you play something and you're worried about availability just bring a copy and someone will play it with you.  </p><p>

Competitors Pass 	$30.00	</p><p>

<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">International Video Game Cup 2014</span></strong></p><p>
</p><p>
</p><p>
<strong>Palais des Festivals et des congrès de Cannes – February 28th to March 2nd 2014</strong></p><p><strong>
The Event</strong></p><p>
</p><p>
The <em>Palais des Festivals et des congrès de Cannes</em> is a place famous for a lot of reasons: movies, television, music, board games, but for a lot of us it’s just the place where we get to spend a few days with those friends we only get to see there. A place we’re all happy to come back to because we get to play with the best video game players on the planet under the sun of the croisette.</p><p>
The <em>WorldGameCup</em> filled a void when it was created in 2004, year after year it created a tradition that got players from the world over to gather around the same passion.</p><p>
<em>The International Video Game Cup</em> (<em>IVGC</em>) wants to continue to feed that beautiful idea, an event where the champions get to see who’s the best and their fans can enjoy the show at the venue or from the comfort of their own homes.</p><p>

</em></p><p><em>
Participation fee for other tourneys - 200 RUR (~5 EUR) for pre-registered players, 250 RUR (~6 EUR) for players.</em></p><p><em>
</em></p><p><em>
Pre-registration starts from July 1st at Fighting.ru - stay tuned.</em></p><p>
</p><p>
<strong>Rules and regulations:</strong></p><p>
</p><p>
All Moscow Fighting Arena 2013 tourneys are to comply with <a href="" rel="external nofollow">Fighting.ru general rules</a>. While those rules are not available in English at the moment, they are pretty obvious and universal. One thing should be mentioned, however - all players choices are double-blind (unless players agreee otherwise), and there is no limitation on character swaps during a 1v1 tourney - any player may change their character before any fight, regardless of their brackets position and previous fight results.</p><p>
</p><p>
Main events (TTT2 1v1, SSF4AE12 1v1, Injustice: GAU 1v1, SCV 1v1) are group stage into Full Double Elimination, all games are best of 3. Groups are of 5-6 players Round Robin, top-2 advances to FDE. In case of a tie we check the result of the match between tied players, after that win-loss battle ratio. If that does not break the tie, we play a tiebreaker match bo1. There is no regional seeding for group stage, but there will be seeding based on Fighting.ru ratings. Players who won a regional qualifier (run during July in multiple Russian cities) advance to FDE directly skipping group stage entirely.</p><p>
</p><p>
All other 1v1 tournaments are Full Double Elimination, bo3.</p><p>
</p><p>
TTT2 3v3 is Full Double Elimination, King of the Hill. Individual players play bo3, teams play bo1.</p><p>
</p><p>
Everything is subject to change, although we would do our best to avoid any changes at this point =)</p><p>
</p><p>
<strong>Travel and accommodation</strong></p><p>
Travelling to Russia is not as complicated as it is rumoured by many. Visa submission can be somewhat bothersome if you are accustomed to travelling within EU only, but it should be easy as long as you don't procrastinate till the last possible moment. Flying to Russia starts from 150 Euro for closer countries (Nordic or Western Europe); from France you can get good tickets for 250 Euro, etc., etc. You can make it even cheaper using discounters if you wish to. Whichever way you'd prefer, please don't hesitate to contact us for any kind of advice, we will gladly help.</p><p>
</p><p>
Food is not a problem at the venue - nice and relatively inexpensive (10 Euro for a 3 course dinner) restaurant is located right next to the venue (yes, you can eat and watch games on the big screen), and you can have basically any kind of fast food in 5 minutes walk range. </p><p>
</p><p>
Venue is closed after 9pm, so sleeping / staying at venue is impossible. However, we would gladly help to find you a cheap inn or a hostel with fellow fighters or a Russian person willing to host you. </p><p>
</p><p>
Overall, we are really looking towards seeing you at Moscow Fighting Arena, and we will do our best to ensure your comfort and to give you the best Russian hospitality possible =)</p><p>
</p><p>
<strong>What to expect?</strong></p><p>
</p><p>[*]A friendly, yet smoothly-run event</p><p>
[*]~30 PS3 stations available from 10AM to 9PM</p><p>
[*]40-100 players per tourney, ~250 fighters overall</p><p>
[*]Nice weather (average Moscow temperature for August is +17 С) and good sightseeing (you can easily get to Kremlin from the venue in 20-25 minutes <a href="" rel="external nofollow">(Google maps)</a>) - unless you prefer to have more of friendly button-mashing and salty money-matches =)</p><p></p><p>

</p><p><strong>
What is it?</strong></p><p>
</p><p>
A 3 day event celebrating the biggest fighting game tournament in the world EVO Championship series. We have tournament events, fun competitions, a bar, arcade machines, and EVO broadcasted on a big projector screen.</p><p>
</p><p>
This is the 3rd annual EVO-party and it’s shaping up to be bigger than ever!</p><p>
</p><p>
<strong>When?</strong></p><p>
</p><p>
The event starts friday morning 12 july, and ends monday morning on the 15th, when we watch the grand finals of EVO.</p><p>
</p><p>
<strong>Where?</strong></p><p>
</p><p>
The event will be held at the new Astrolab venue, in Tallinn, Estonia.</p><p>
</p><p>

</p><p>
The venue is located in old-town. Check out pictures from our last event here - <a href="" rel="external nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/Astrolaboratory</a></p><p>
Address: Väike-Karja tänav 1/9A</p><p>
</p><p>
<strong>How much does it cost?</strong></p><p>

</p><p>
3. An Evo-Party bracelet</p><p>
</p><p>
4. One laminated Salt-Card. (shout-outs to Roihuvuori Arcade). A one-time use of this card grants you an opportunity to extend any match you lost to one more match. For example a first-to-three wins becomes a first-four match (does not include arcade machines)</p><p>

All currently known fighting games will be available in one form or another. Not every game gets it’s own station, but the most popular ones have dedicated stations and special tournaments. There will be a “challenge-board’ available, where all willing participants can sign up for a tournament in any game. If the game gets at least 8 players - a tournament bracket will be organized.</p><p>
</p><p><strong>
Which games have official tournaments then?</strong></p><p>

<strong>What’s an unofficial tournament?</strong></p><p>
</p><p>
It’s a community tournament. If 8 or more people want to play a tournament in any fighting game, it will be organized by us. Rules and prize-pool are decided by the participants. A separate game-station (or 2) will be dedicated to that event.</p><p>

</p><p>
<strong>Will you give me a controller?</strong></p><p>
</p><p>
Nope, please take your own controller, or ask someone at the event. We will have a couple of spare controllers, but we cannot guarantee that you can have them for the whole event.</p><p>
</p><p>
<strong>There’s a bar?</strong></p><p>
</p><p>
Yes we have a dedicated in-house bar. Snacks, lunch, dinner, drinks etc. will be available for purchase. (also extra salt cards!)</p><p>
</p><p><strong>

The venue will be closed from when EVO has ended to around lunch-time of the next day. During that time those who have secured their place in the venue - can stay there.</p><p>

</p><p>
HMV GamerBase</p><p>

</p><p>
<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">When is this session held?</span></strong></p><p>
Be sure to check the date of upcoming events within the following post(s)</p><p>
</p><p>
<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Time?</span></strong></p><p>
6:30-11PM</p><p>
</p><p>
<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">What Consoles?</span></strong></p><p>
PlayStation 3</p><p>
</p><p>
<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Will control pad/arcade stick be provided?</span></strong></p><p>
We do not provide controllers, we advice all visitors to bring their own pads/arcade stick, though there are members of the community that are kind enough to lend you one to play your games.</p><p>
</p><p>
<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">How often will these sessions be held?</span></strong></p><p>
The event is held Bi-Weekly with casuals, Tournaments are held once a month</p><p>
</p><p>
<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">What are the prices like?</span></strong></p><p>
£5 for venue fee</p><p>
</p><p>
<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Why are we doing this?</span></strong></p><p>
In order to make BlazBlue and offline gameplay more accessible to players.</p><p>
Allow others to learn more about the game in a stimulating environment.</p><p>
Offline competition is always better than online.</p><p>
</p><p>
<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Getting there:</strong></span></p><p>
The closest <strong>Station </strong>to the place is <strong>Piccadilly Circus</strong> which is on the <strong>Piccadilly </strong>and <strong>Bakerloo </strong>lines. Once you exit the barriers you take the exit to the left which has the '<strong>Trocadero</strong>' sign. Do not go outside into the high street.</p><p>
</p><p>
Pass through the automatic doors and continue to walk forward through all the break dancers (lol) and once you're near the escalators go up, and then turn left, it will be right there in front of you.</p><p>
</p><p>
Feel free to ask for more details about the event in this thread.</p><p>
