Good news, everyone! I think a group of my close friends are finally starting to get into Blazblue. If all goes well, there should be at least a couple new faces out of the four newbies next MTN- any more and we'll have to work out driving arrangements though, haha.

Happy birthday, Milln! :D May it be filled with many non-workings and playing vidja gaemz.

Wow, that's REALLY cool Milln. :O I hope it pans out for sure. Be sure to practice those interview questions~

I really like this Mystery Game idea. I can't wait to see how it pans out. :D

I didn't know anything was going on this Saturday. I already have plans. :[

Don't worry about vidjas, Milln. I've conditioned the community to go long periods without them. :D *Shot* Just get better soon man. We're all rooting for you. *Salute*

Oh yeah, and you can remove KoF from October's line-up Milln. It's been delayed to November 22nd. ;_;

That's really unfortunate, but I doubt it has anything to do with his contributions to the fighting game community. Hopefully people realize the poor guy's without his laptop and cell phone before they complain about his inability to record/stream.

Oh yeah. One of the things Tad suggested at the dinner meeting was have some "Best of MTN" clips put together for a video. I think it's a really hype idea, and if you guys would want to, I can start recording our online casual nights for footage.

Dang it, I'm too lazy for detailed shoutouts. Can we just pretend I'm saving my energy for October's shoutouts? :3 Milln: Good tournament was good! Really looking forward to next month's. Arigatou gozaimasu. And it's GREAT to hear you're doing better, I was seriously worried man. Next time don't sit on it for so long. Literally. :[ Astaroth: Hype playing Blazblue and Third Strike, and good job placing in both. I can't say I'm surprised though. :P Falcon: It was really nice talking with you in person, and fun playing you in BB. Hope to see you around more for sure! :D Cyner: Sorry for being a dick, that's kind of what I'm good at with fightan gaemz. :3 Good meeting you though, and be sure to make it up whenever you can! Papstr: Lol crashing at my place and hatin' on Dreamworks movies. Whenever I'm not busy, you're coming over to legitimately hang out. Star: GRRRRRR GET DAT CONVERTER. And/or participate anyway. But thanks for showing up, it's always good to have your company. :] Naimat: Dude, we hardly talked at all. ;_; We're both playing friendlies AND talking moar next time. Tad: Thanks for showing up man. I swear, you get cooler every time I talk to you. XD Phil: I never got a chance to properly thank you for giving me tips in 3SO and Guilty Gear. I really, really appreciate it man. It was a lot of fun in both. :D K.O.: You're a fun guy. Show up more. :3 Everyone who didn't show up: YOU DIDN'T SHOW UP. >:T Anyone I forgot: I'm sorry, I have a terrible memory. Let me know and I'll give you a proper shoutout.

I'll do shouts some time tomorrow when I get the chance. Also, Papstr's spending the night at my place. It's complicated. XD

I'll bring a copy of Marvel, but damn... I'm not feeling up to par today. It's like I'm light-headed, but congested at the same time. Here's to hoping it doesn't impact my performance too much. ;_; I'll be heading out in the next half hour or so. See you guys then.

I don't mind dealing with the chair, Astaroth. Like Milln said, Papstr's riding to MTN with his parents later that day, so I'd basically only have to disassemble/reassemble the chair once.

How could I have forgotten about Falcon and Cyner? >.> Milln won't be playing because his stick's out of commission, though, and Papstr said he probably wouldn't be able to make it in time for BB. That would put our entrants at four. I'm still up for Round Robin~ If your chair is just like mine, it should need four Phillips screws taken out. I was planning on bringing a screwdriver if that's the case.

What does that put our list of BB entrants at? Right now it's looking like... Astaroth and myself. >_> If it's just the two of us, can we do Round Robin? I like Round Robin. EDIT: Also, I forgot to mention I tried fitting the equivalent of the executive chair in my car, Astaroth. IT WORKS! And yes, it fits without taking up the whole back seat. :3 However, like I said before, I'll need to detach the bottom part and probably put it in the trunk. I can definitely reassemble it when we get back to your place though. If that's fine with you, PM me details. :]

If you put it sideways, then definitely. But maybe I can flip it upside down and turn it around and have the entire thing fit in the back. If not, as long as it's the same model as mine, I could always detach the bottom part and put the bottom part in the trunk.

There's no way it's gonna fit in the trunk, Astaroth. It WOULD look like that picture. :P Idealistically I'll be able to fit it behind the driver's seat chair, but I can't guarantee anything until I try it.

It wasn't supposed to be really funny- it's just that whenever I offer to give people rides and they find out I drive a Mustang, they either groan in discontent or don't realize how little space there is in the back of a Mustang. That's why "who's gonna take the back seat?" is an issue here, because I know neither of them are going to want it. :P

I... Drive a Mustang. XD

I have a couple of the same-model chairs at my place, so I'll check to see if I can fit one in the back tomorrow. :3 If I can (which I'm 99% sure I can) you're riding with me and coming to dinner. Only issue then will be who takes the back seat, you or Papstr. :P

Why don't you get a PS2 -> 360 converter, Star? I can almost guarantee they'd be cheaper and easier to find, and since the PS2 controller is almost exactly the same as the PS3 minus the sticks (which I don't think you use) and the triggers (which are more comfortable on PS2 IMO), it'd work out better in the long run.

Will do, Milln. *Salutes* And you're not gonna play, Star? :<

Damn, I've been spelling that wrong for about a year now. >_> If you want to use your phone to record, you can Milln- we'd probably have a better chance at it not dying on us, haha. I'm not sure it records in HD though, or if you have the capabilities to edit it. (Does it/do you?) I don't mind recording with mine, and/or bringing it with extra batteries just in case. And just for emphasis, my 360 has 3SO as well.

Oh, well now I feel like a dick. Sorry Astaroth. Now that you mention it, though, I'm not sure I'll be able to record directly from ANY of the setups currently in the arcade. The monitors would be fine, but they don't have component in, which I need to record in HD (my capture card doesn't have HDMI capabilities). The Viewlix might work for component, but I've never gotten a thumbs-up to unhook the HDMI from that to put in component, so I don't even know if it has it. The only other TV in the arcade is the standard def we used a couple months ago, but A. I'd need to record in standard def on that one, and B. I need to use splitter cables on that one, which dims the screen. I guess another option would be to bring in a T.V. from the storage room, but I'm NOT going to ask to move it from there so I can move stuff in the arcade to make room for it just so I can record in a decent quality. Ugh. I guess I could bring my Flip Camera again and record off the Viewlix with it, but if that's what I end up doing I'd DEFINITELY end up only recording Finals, and maybe Semi-Finals. I spent more than five dollars on AA batteries to keep that thing running for two hours last time. :/

Someone wearing a headset normally doesn't take up more space than someone without one, and a crowd is often just as distracting (if not more so) than a commentator, since they both... Well, talk, microphone or not. But if you guys WANT just finals recorded, I'm not going to force recording the other matches on you. Give me feedback on this, I need it. You're right about Star's commentary being underrated, Astaroth. No offense to Pickle, but Star's commentary seems more knowledgeable. I've heard him comment about tech traps, oki and the like as they happen, and that's good commentary to have for competitive matches. I just wish I had the capabilities/means to record two commentators at once. That would be hype as shit.
