Fighting Games Weekly | July 1-7 | Heel turns, shattered dreams, broken cages

He said VxG's sponsorship money is delayed so they need the donation money to buy the ticket. Afterward, VxG is going to reimburse them for it.

He is asking for 2k for the 5 players.

I don't buy it.

Edit: As for why he is asking for donations last minute, it's the players fault for procrastinating. Not his management.

I don't see any reason why they can't just put this on a credit card if they're being reimbursed.
 
Triforce just said if you put a note in the donation saying "the money is an advance and you want it back" he will give you the money back after the VxG money comes thru.
 
The one time I went to evo it cost me about 300 all day. 150 on gas since we drove, about 50 on food, all dollar menu stuff, and the rest on alcohol/gambling. Drinking on the slot machines is the way to go, get on penny slots and tip a buck a drink, which are free. For non tipping gaf if u don't tip the waitresses aren't comin back around lol. I could have probably spent less on food if I wasn't high for 95% of the weekend
 
Yipes: So what do you think of that guy called ChrisG?

Fchamp: I think he 's good.

Yipes: So Fchamp you gonna keep that lease on the championship or you going to surrender it this year?

Fchamp: No i'm going to win Evo. You planning on getting past pools?

Yipes: Oh i plan on winning, but i think ChrisG might bop me in finals.

FChamp and Yipes should commentate more. the Passive aggressiveness and constant jabs is hilarious.
 
Thread titles for next week?

- EVO
- EMP/Dieminion asking for donations
- Kadey's Twitch blowup

Also poking around on hashd.tv, looks like somebody FINALLY had the sense to create a video site where users and channels were separate entities.
 
Damn. Otakon is in a month. Any idea what's gonna be big in the gaming hall there? I think I wanna focus on three games: KOFXIII, P4A, and SCV (all PS3). I'd step back into SF4 but the competition is just way too fierce for me.

Edit: Oh and probably Skullgirls.
 
And I guess I finally need to ask: Where do you watch EVO? Information on that is actually pretty scarce on SRK. Ustream? Twitch? YouTube live? Is there a way to get it on a TV screen?

They're supposed to announce stream information tomorrow.

They haven't even officially announced who's streaming it yet I think, even though Sp00ky put it out there.

Kinda ridiculous considering how close we are to it and there's no info about that or specifics about the scholarship sub or anything.
 
We don't know yet. They haven't officially announced the streamer either.

But it's most likely gonna be on twitch and streamed by Spooky

Unfortunately, the sponsorship money which was being used to to help send KDZ and the rest of his team to EVO wont be available on time and now they need your help! They are not lazy, they have been going to events throughout the year and for this specific event, things fell through... it happens.

This donation drive is specifically to help the following players get to EVO: KDZ, Flocker, REO, Tom Brady and Nuckledu

Tune in live to watch the stream, and feel free to ask questions to the rest of us! http://twitch.tv/8wayrun


KDZ is the leader of EMP now?


also I thought REO already had flight booked to evo
 
The shit going on now is exactly what's wrong with the community. It has been for a long time. The dry rot is now showing. I've been involved in one of the biggest majors for 13+ years and shit like this happens more and more and more. It's fucked up and it irritates me that these players and folks like empire can ask for money and just get it. People like triforce have been shady for 10 years and yet they still get rewarded. God damn.

Perhaps it's just compensation and they were asked to book themselves.

Jaxel streaming this is the most WTF. Also worst timing to do a stream for this sort of thing ever.

It's like when mob bosses would pretend that some little dude was in charge in order to protect the real head honcho.
