jetblaksuit Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 oh snap saturday? I might be able to go at a later time if it doesn't end by a certain time :O I'm sure if enough people show it'll go til at least seven. Possibly later. I don't have shit to do Saturdays so its really dependant on what time people decide to leave.
iw2ma Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 WHASSUP DALLAS GAMERS! You've picked the date, you love your games, now come out and game! OKgamers is launching it's series of Bi-Monthly Gamer Gatherings - first in the Tulsa area, next month after - OKC, then back again, etc. ...leading up to our big events at the beginning of 2011!! What to do at a GG? Play games, maybe learn a thing while finding new gamers, new games, etc. It's just like it sounds - an opportunity for gamers to gather. Sure - we learn what's popular, and gamers can show off - what matters the most though? BUILDING community - we have gamers in OK, show up and prove what we already know! WHY SHOW UP? WHAT IS A GAMING GATHERING? 3 THINGS: What you are playing, getting better at, or even already compete in! SHOW WHAT WE PLAY - A chance to prove what gaming communities we have locally to support! Your game get no event support - CHANGE THAT! Bring out your favorite game! What are you playing? What area you into? What are you looking for competition?!? (support? As in, once we see games have a following through attending these? We can add them at future events OKgamers works with like Conventions, Tournaments, gatherings, etc!!) WHAT WE CAN LEARN - It's also a chance to grow at the games we love - talk to local gamers, share tips, and brush up on your game! Want better online victories? Want to travel to that next tournament? Brush up here! Maybe even find carpools to events!! COMMUNITY BUILDING - Play a game but don't know if ANYONE ELSE DOES? Part of an online gaming community, but don't know anyone locally? Does your community need events to gather at?! SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THIS EVENT; make this your communities next event, bring out your game, and use it as a platform to find more gamers! (And bonus and obvious 4th - to spread the word about OKgamers.com existing as a Oklahoma's gamer source of info for tournaments and local competition!) DISCLAIMERS? Tulsa = Area, as Funhouse is like 3 feet into Jenks, technically Arcade = it's at an Arcade, please don't bring cabinets PC LAN = we have the space, and a few PC'ers, we'll see! -- DATE: Sunday - 10/10/10 TIMES: 1pm to 9pm(ish) LOCATION: Funhouse at the Riverwalk 500 Riverwalk Terrace, Suite 100 Tulsa, Ok 74037 http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=500+Riverwalk+Terrace,+Suite+100+74037&ie=UTF8&om=1&hq=&hnear=Riverwalk+Terrace,+Jenks,+Tulsa,+Oklahoma+74037&t=h&z=15&iwloc=A GAMES? See below for what is being brought for sure. Bringing something else - post so we all know! COST: 10$ - Like most events, there is a location fee - we are also pooling a fee to get PIZZA AND DRINKS! FREE FOOD: YES! We'll do 2 orders around 2:30 pm, and 6pm! FREE TOKENS: Yup, the 10$ fee gets you 10$'s in tokens - spend it on DDR, Initial D, Time Crisis, Soul Calibur 3AE, and other fun video games, as well as ticket games they have at that venue. TOURNAMENT COSTS? Ha ha, no. This is purely freeplay fun times - like an event gaming room - without the event. Bring enough setups, and we can do some fun free events, but we'll focus on having freeplay options always open! -- So - we just bring our favorite stuff out and play? Yup. Just like a potluck Tournament style event, only this time - no console or game RESTRICTIONS!! You want to bring out DBZ - feel free. You want to play the 360 version of Street Fighter - bring it. It seems simple - and it is. The more gamers get out, and play against each other, the more fun they have. The more friends they make. And if they are competitive, the better they get. ...the more gamers we prove we have out there, the bigger events we can have in the future, and more sponsors will care too CASUAL GAMERS = finding out local comp, and what is "strong" in this area, gaming wise! HARDCORE GAMERS = recruit more tournament competition, and find locals interested in getting better! ONLINE COMMUNITIES = Use this as YOUR event! Promote it online, to friends, etc - then bring out some setups and play! (Local gamers are looking for games to play, promote your game and find more comp!) -- CURRENT LIST OF GAMES EXPECTED TO SHOW UP (edited as people post!): Console: SUPER SMASH BROS - 64 - YES!, Melee maybe? Brawl - YES! Halo Reach x 2 Tekken 6? Blaz Blue CS Soul Calibur 4 - PS3 SC 4/ Street Fighter 4 - Xbox PC LAN: SC2? (Waiting on LAN'ers lol) IDEA'S FOR WHAT TO BRING / WISHLIST: More Fighters - like DOA, or what ever you play. SPORTS GAMES?! Madden fans, it'd be nice to see a setup! RACING FANS - DO YOU EVEN EXIST?! Prove it here. FPS - you take up a lot of room; we'll take the first few 2v2 or 4v4 setups that post RSVP'ing the space - but don't expect to take up half the place unless that's all people show up to play WHAT - NO CCG / TABLETOP / LARP?!@ We could probably get a LARP going, but haven't seen interest outside of conventions. CCG and Tabletop - have game shops all across the state, your communities are set! OKgamers volunteer staff also do not throw competing events with businesses - and well, CCG/Tabletop is pretty hooked up ya know ...that said? IF THERE IS INTEREST - and no conflicts (games not rep'ed locally at stores), we'll check space! -- WRAP UP - WHAT DO YOU DO NOW? Spread the word to friends! Know someone that that complains there is nothing to do, shut them up with this! Bring your 10$, and BYOC = BRING YOUR OWN CONTROLLER, as they'll be limited as always. Got a favorite game - bring it out! We'll have some tube TV's free; but a setup is a TV, Console and game! We'll have power strips, tables and chairs! MORE GAMES - coming soon. PRINTABLE FLYER - CLICK HERE - please print a few and put them up somewhere! FACEBOOK EVENT - OFFICIAL EVENT CLICK HERE! AWESOMENESS = 10/10/10! X A quoted form OKGamers.com and just trying to see if people can come down for this. I understand 4 hours may be a bit much for a NON-tourney gathering but whatever.
RaveSage Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Always wanted to visit OK and bi-monthly sounds hot too, schedule wise. Once I get some more freedom on where I can go, this sounds good. Also, adfsfsdfasdfa @ jet hosting this weekend. You're going to make me rush to get my stick finished.
Mightfo Posted October 5, 2010 Author Posted October 5, 2010 The action is go people. I just cleared things with my roommates and this Saturday my place will be available for a meet up. I could easily fit 3 setups but I might need to move some couches around. I'm thinking we could start around 3 or so if that works for everyone. I don't have a set time I'd need to end though so we'll just play it by ear I suppose. If this works for people go ahead and PM me and I'll give you the address and directions. Also dustloop needs a hypedog emoticon. Niice! This is great since I won't be able to host or attend this saturday. However, I'll be up for hosting(or even just attending, naturally) saturday the 16th and saturday the 23rd, so we have straight 3 weeks of dallas meetups coming up at least! Good shit. Going to update front post to reflect this. are we going to set up any other meet up times? like how often do we do this? Weekly is what we've been doing and will probably continue to do unless some people start hosting on weekdays or whatever. Also, naturally people can do more meetups if they're willing to go places like Tulsa for that oklahoma meetup. Also, so I know few people here are up for KOF13 when that comes, and the same goes for AH3, but who all is interested in MvC3? I've been getting more excited about that as time goes on, especially as I see obligatory things like glorious astral vision resets and whatnot. Will probably get that as long as most characters are strong as hell and it continues to fix itself.(more reason to pursue resets, air exchange nonsense fixed, etc) At this point I'll probably play Tron, Morrigan, and probably Doom.(Dormammu and Skrull are nice too, but doom's overhead assist is hard to pass up) lastly, http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/9968898 norcall install guilty gear finals have a sick i-no.
jetblaksuit Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 So who all can bring setups? Tomato of Doom already said they were going to bring one PS3 and set of sticks/pads. I have a smallish monitor to hook up to that and I'll be providing one PS3 setup with pads, and I should have at least 1 stick probably going to have 3 though.
zreb Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 I can bring a full PS3 setup if necessary. I don't have any extra controllers though :p
jetblaksuit Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 I can bring a full PS3 setup if necessary. I don't have any extra controllers though :p Thats just fine. That'll make three setups. I could probably fit another in my place but its not really necessary.
Mightfo Posted October 5, 2010 Author Posted October 5, 2010 For future reference, people should bring their own controllers, especially sticks, just to make sure you have something you're comfortable with~
zreb Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Speaking of that, if we only have PS3 setups, it could be problematic for anyone who plays on xbox controllers I don't have converters or anything, at least.. It'd probably be good if we could get someone with an xbox setup to bring theirs :S
Mightfo Posted October 6, 2010 Author Posted October 6, 2010 Front post updated. Top half is much better. I suppose boombox could bring his 360 setup for such people, assuming he is going. Additionally, for flexibility, I'd let you borrow my converters for the saturday meetup.
jetblaksuit Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Mightfo without you who will we rely on for goobleloops?
Drges Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 says the guy who got tired and left at 10 :P Did you not see how bored my cousin was?
Mightfo Posted October 6, 2010 Author Posted October 6, 2010 Mightfo without you who will we rely on for goobleloops? zreb, too, wields a gobble artifact
jetblaksuit Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 I'm convinced that turkey is one of the missing Nox Nyctores
