i take it wisdom teeth pulled?

I had a... I don't know how to spell it so I'll sound it out ape-icl(like icicle)-ect-e-mi. its basically a root canal but done in reverse, and i had my gums pulled back. to put a long story short, I have nine stitches in my mouth and it was swollen as hell

[Chris Chaos]

So, yeah. Sorry for not posting in the thread as I should but I've been busy with the BB:CSE Jin Tutorial so I haven't been on DL for a few days. As stated, the event is happening on the 31st this Saturday at 7:30.

Welcome to all those who are new/visiting the thread to see what's going on in the BB world in Chicago. If you're free this Saturday, hit up the venue, get some GG's in and meet with some cool guys.

I'll be there for sure and I hope to see most of you if not all of you make it out if you can. Can't wait to meet, greet and play you guys.

Might not make it to the gathering, had a sprained ankle all week, and I kind of exacerbated it today by skateboarding even though I was told to stay off of it.

You need to show up to one of these gatherings to give me my GG back... don't be dodging me, lol.

Post* just keeping us above water

[Chris Chaos]

Thanks BlinKy,

In other news; casuals are happening tomorrow at Nickel City starting & 7:30PM, I will be there earlier than that but we won't be able to set up until after that. Unfortunately due to certain issues, I will be leaving the venue around 11PM because I have an event to be at Sunday and I can't stay the night in Northbrook. That doesn't mean you guys can't stay longer than that, so continue to play games if you guys intend to stay longer than that.

Ahah, not trying to lol. I actually haven't been playing it to be honest =/

There's a good chance that I'll show up, so don't worry.

Guys, I'll be that swagged out nigga with the pink headphones, skinny shorts, and the skateboard, keep a look out for me.

[Callisto]

Hope to see some of you guys out tonight!

How much to get in to Nickel City?

[Enigmos]

Oh boy cant wait! Just wish i practiced more D: Got stupid Question though, will this be an easy place to locate everybody (since you said it is bigger than ignite)? Just don't want to spend ten minutes trying to find everyone one.

How much to get in to Nickel City?

Well, a round trip for me is 2 hits on the blue line ($1.75 x 2 = $3.50) and a weekend pass toward Fox Lake on the Metra ($7.00) to the Lake-Cook stop, so I pay around $10.50 to head out there.

(Use Google Maps to add up your exact cost)

I will be there around 6-ish and I'll be sitting by the Concession Stand. So for those who haven't seen me before and show up before 7:30; I'll be the guy in a Leather Jacket and a Blue T-Shirt chilling.

EDIT: Heading out in an hour, I'll be checking on the thread via phone. Hit up the thread if you guys have any more questions.

Hello Hello! I'm pretty new to the forums and I just heard about the IL Casuals from ArcKnight.

My Name is Blazegreg (Either Blaze, or Greg is fine, or if for some reason, you can also call me Gregory) I play any kind of fighting game! I just love em!

BlazBlue I use Noel mainly (she's the only one i'm any good with)

Never played Arcana heart but I would love to Main Petra/Love

Chun-Li owns my heart in Street Fighter

Marvel Vs Capcom 3, My Main team would be (Chun,Feli,Mori)

and I think thats about it..

I'm willing to learn anything and everything! Nice to meet you all!

[Chris Chaos]

Oh! Another Chicago player! Welcome to the Illinois Thread Blazegreg, It's always nice to know there are other players interested in the scene! I really wish you would have seen this thread earlier because we just had our Monthly Casuals yesterday! That would have been an awesome time to introduce yourself, but it is what it is.

Well you know of the scene and the gatherings now so post up in here and get to know the other guys. Once again; Welcome.

[Enigmos]

Well welcome Blazegreg always nice to see new people!

[Callisto]

Hope everyone had a good time last night, thanks for coming out. For those of you interested in other games, we have those casuals at NC every Saturday, and monthly tournaments(the next being April 21st), at the moment the tournies are only for AE/SFxTK/Marvel/KOF/MK9 but if we can get a solid group of people out I'd be more than willing to help run a BB bracket.

April 21st is a stretch for me because PowerUp is the weekend right before that, but I'll do what I can to support if I can make it out there.

Shoutouts to the dude who played AH3. You warmed my heart, albeit briefly.

I suppose that would be me. You are welcome.

@Callisto: Ya I had a good time. Definitely something different on my end. Changing up routine is nice once in a while. If I had known it was you doing the streaming I would have introduced myself properly haha.

@Shin: Interesting experience. I hope you can keep it up. I would like to make another appearance sometime. I am just not sure when exactly that will be.~

It sounded like fun!

I'll try my best to make it to the next gathering~ (and I hope I wont make a fool out of myself~)

And Thank you Shinsyn and Enigmos for the Warm welcome! I'll make sure to get to know everybody in my Fighting game community :3 (Is it me, or does this sounds like Animal crossing when you have to meet all the neighbor... Hmmm)
