UPDATE: GOOD NEWS ONE. Chris Chou, one of TXS' administrators, has informed me that if you're in Texas Showdown ONLY for Gundam, you only have to pay 15 USD for venue fee. Your team will still have to pay a total of 10 USD to register. That said, if you are going to Texas Showdown, I will be contacting you shortly in order to confirm your attendance. If I'm not contacting you, I DON'T KNOW YOU ARE COMING AND YOU SHOULD TELL ME. --- Ah, but I have you covered. I have all of us covered twice over! GOOD NEWS TWO. I will be hosting two FREE-ENTRY single-elimination 2v2 shuffle tournaments. One on Friday and one on Saturday. If you have a spectator's badge (which is 15 USD), then you can be in for the low, low price of NOTHING. I will have Master Grade/High Grade kits as prizes and other trinkets. I will devise rules and regulations very shortly, but I do need people to say they're signing up so if they are using DLC units I can buy them.

Hey! Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been terribly distracted by Monster Hunter. General announcement: Texas Showdown's early registration will end soon (tomorrow). Remember that EXVSFB isn't on the list and the reg fee of 10 USD (per team) needs to be paid for at the door! Altair, almecca, I sincerely hope that you guys can really make it. We've got four guys signed up already (myself included tho) so we'll at least have one game. Dallas guys have shown interest in coming for the game, so I have to follow up with them. Anyone have their contact information?

So TXShowdown's organizers have graciously decided to include Full Boost in the tournament roster this year after much begging and pleading on my end. With that said, I'm organizing a Team Hold Tournament AND TWO FREE* TEAM SHUFFLE TOURNAMENTS in Houston over that weekend and I would love to see Full Boost players there! * - If you have a Spectator's Badge! https://www.txshowdown.com/ https://www.facebook.com/TxShowdown When: May 8-9 Where: Houston, Texas.

The problem with PS3 wireless is that it's crap and unreliable; Plugging the four PS3s into this switch bounds them to it, but it makes wireless viable because now you're depending on the switch's wireless capabilities. I've used it for a few hundred games. Offline Full Boost is fun as hell.
