Middle Tennessee Needs Gaming! Monthly Versus Tourneys - Antioch, TN

[Urichinan]

I'm definitely playing Gordeau and Orie, but I'm waiting to see Hilda gameplay. If I like her then she'll be my main and I'll sub the other two. If I don't, then I'm maining Gordeau.

I also really want to try Merkava and Vatista, since they also seem up my ally.

[Volpe-de-Glacio]

Aw, come on guys. I don't play the main character/shoto in EVERY fighting game.

Like King of Figh-

Guilty Gea-

Blazbl-

Street Figh-

Perso-

Akats-

Braw-

... Okay, I'll probably end up playing Hyde. I'm with Volpe- I'll happily import the game if it's PS3-only (it probably will be), not region locked, and without a (reasonable?) American release date. Considering at least a couple of us have 360 -> PS3 converters, I don't think it'd be a problem as far as control schemes are concerned.

lolz, TIL Jackie mains Mario.

As for UNiB, it seems like it'll be really freaking hype. Smooth, fast gameplay plus extremely satisfying sfx for hits makes me feel matches will be really intense and visceral. Can't wait to duke it out with you guys in this game.

Got home from doing inventory Not too long ago.

Naimat was hating on UnderNight

I think it's cool.

I'm tired as F.

I enjoy Persona.

[Alphakami]

@Milln Go forth and sleep

@UnderballsBirth I couldn't care less. I'll still play it if it's put in my face. If there is a homosexual I'll play them. Preferably a dyke.

[Milln]

Good morning, guys.

Can't wait to get home and play video games until I fall asleep in my chair, then attend a business meeting in the morning. I'll be at fight night, though. Anyone coming through?

Me and my party vanquished an Elder Brown Recluse Spider Demon last night. My buddy manager Absorbed aggro, then used a diversion skill when my trap was set up. The enemy didn't stand a chance to the powered up Steel-Toe Foot of The Gods and one-shotted it with a gravity bonus. It dropped a 4-Channel Sound Mixer, too.

I'll update front page with tournament dates.

@UnderballsBirth I'll still play it if it's put in my face. If there is a homosexual I'll play them. Preferably a dyke.

My sentiments are pretty much the same. I think it's cool, and i like Carmine and Seth, but I'm not gonna play it. There's just too many fighting games. Sticking with Pa's Sauna and Koffing.

[Doromac]

Fight night on monday?

[Urichinan]

Guys, I don't know what got into me Saturday, but I can't stop playing Arcana Heart 3.

[Volpe-de-Glacio]

I'm fucked up so I WON'T regret this. YOU WILLL PLAY THIS GAME TAD. AND YOU WILL LIKE IT. AND I WILL BODY YOU. FOR FREE.

[Milln]

Fight night on monday?

Tuesday.

[Grimstar]

Dudes... after seeing that Seth guy... i'll gladly import that shit if we can play it on PS3 with relative ease.

[Volpe-de-Glacio]

oh god. . . the world. . . won't stop being transient. . . I'm am lost. .. .

[LastStarSaviour]

Yo Milln, got any tips for being interviewed properly? Nervous as heck and the last thing I need is to screw up horribly. I already know a few things but I figured it'd be better to ask someone who probably had to interview people regularly.

I'm so hyped (contrary to popular believe)

[Milln]

Tips for interviews.... Incoming OBVIOUS STATEMENTS

Make eye contact.

Smile. Don't stone face.

Have a good, firm, but not crushing handshake. Seriously. Practice if you need to.

Wear nice, clean clothes. No need to overdress (depending on the establishment) but don't come in wearing the stuff we do at tournaments. Edit: Haha Jackie's striped polo would actually be okay.

Do a little research on your job choice, come in knowing a little bit about the company. This makes it seem like you actually care about working for THIS company rather than "I need a job".

Speaking of which, never utter the words "I need a job". Managers hate this

Managers already know you're nervous, so just relax as much as you can.

You don't have any, but interviewees should take out all inappropriate or excessive jewelry.

Know what you're talking about. Look up example interview questions so you can kind of know what to expect. Some firms have questions printed out for them, some allow the interviewer to do their own thing.

When talking, don't feel like you need to rush an answer. You can take a few seconds to think if you need to.

If you don't have any work experience in the question posed, think to anything in your life that can draw knowledge from to have a good answer.

Have a relevant question or two to ask beyond pay and hours at the end of the interview.

Express your gratitude for their time when they conclude the event.

In my case, if I brought an applicant in for an interview, that's a one in 50 chance in the first place, so keep that in mind, too. You were -selected- to come talk; you need to sell yourself to the interviewer.

[LastStarSaviour]

Gotcha, thanks for the heads up.

Spent all day today shaking off the jitters and smiling to myself in a mirror (I can see why I don't do that much). I swear it'll be a miracle if I don't choke completely though.

[Jackie Chandler]

I'd also recommend looking up some common interview questions and preparing your answers ahead of time. It'll show that you're prepared on the interviewer's side, and it'll negate a lot of the anxiety you might have.

Edit: Haha Jackie's striped polo would actually be okay.

I love polo shirts. They're casual enough for school and hanging out, but formal enough to go somewhere fancy/be interviewed. Speaking of which, I actually *did* wear one of my polo shirts to Sam Goody's when I got an interview there. I scored the job- but looking back, I kind of wish I hadn't, haha.

[Volpe-de-Glacio]

I love you guys. . .all of the homo

This. Star, for my first interview, I studied common interview questions for a few days straight until I could thoroughly answer the questions without saying "Um" or tripping up. It really helped. I nailed the interview but still didn't get the job, due to stupid circumstances of the interviewer's boss being in a meeting and me never meeting him (he sits in on the interviews and has the final say-so in hiring the applicant). It was a stroke of bad luck.

[Urichinan]

I've never had a job interview before.

The closest I ever came to one was when Mike Z asked me if I wanted to make palettes for Skullgirls and sent me over an NDA.

Although it was a volunteer job. (No moneyyyyy) But it was still a job!

[Milln]

Titsurog is a hoe

What else would I mean Milln? A prostitute?

Maybe a rake.

Okay, I'm intrigued now. What exactly is Team DAI? You've never said a word about it, even at the tournament. If it's your sponsor, I imagine you'd speak of them a little moar. Is this how you get the recognition you seem to have among other players?

Well, Team DAI is a long story.

The gist of it is that my friends and I would always say DAI (Die) to each other as a joke about how Ganon says it in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5axgngoPUUo

It became a inside joke (Among many, many others, like Chuck E. Cheese and Who cares about the birds!?) and one day we just joked about "Team DAI". The next thing we knew we had made it into a real thing, except most of the members don't go to tournaments, or even play fighting games anymore. It's really just a group of retarded people.

But yeah, when we go to tournaments that's what we enter as, in the spirit of the joke.

None of us chip in money to send each other to tournaments either. :3

And I'm known throughout the community mostly because of how much I post on the forums and all the people I've met on PSN. My combo videos also helped me get my name out there, since they have been featured on 8WayRun, EventHubs and Shoryuken's front pages.

[Grimstar]

One thing I try to practice (usually daily if I can remember too) in conversation is to not even "um" at all. Try to replace it with nothing. Don't go "uuuhhh... ummmm..." Just pause if you have to. "Uh" is just filler, and if you just take a moment to pause and think to yourself, rather than just derping out, it'll feel better.

From my experience, people you are talking with for business or formality tend to notice if you don't "um" a lot. They hardly notice when you pause for a bit to yourself, and it also shows that you care enough to think before you word vomit at them. You take a moment to prepare things, that's a good quality.

Ok, here's how we'll do this. When you get the game, you are not allowed to play it until you play me. The first you play the game will be versus mode with me. If you can get better than 20 percent of the wins in however many we play, I'll buy the game, I'll main whoever you decide I should main, and I'll do exactly what you tell me to do in regards to this game. I'll be your bitch. If you get 50 percent or better, I'll even let you put me on a choke-leash so you can deal out punishment when I'm not doing it right. What do I get if I loose? Nothing, because I"m the furthest thing from free you know. <3 and homo, of course.

@Star in the interview matchup. Seriously, don't be nervous. Get rid of that shit. Nervous never helps you accomplish anything. It only aides in poor decisions. You'll be there, you'll go thru the interview, and you'll either get the job or you won't. This is inevitable. Your nervous feeling of wanting to perform well will only hold you back in this (and most) instances. Best of luck homie.

No P4U practice today, unfortunately.

But tons of soul calibur practice.

Roomate is into soul calibur so I figured I'd play it. Hovering around amy/xuanghua/nightmare/cassandra

(Astaroth for hugs giggles and

SQUIRM

)

I should also mention that my roomates hate SC5 for some dumb reason and play SC4 instead.
