Triforce opened up the drawer full of napkin contracts and they all disintegrated
I think they are associated with Steam Co also
marky should have kept in private and tried contacting him personally. for all we know he's probably in talks with people.
Myn. God. Damn.
I'm surprised no one has gone looking for help since Triforce needs it, psychologically speaking.
Dat poverty status. Probably at a local public new york library too.

He may of thought he was doing a favor, but god damn if all that happens to you, it's to to cut your losses and get out/start over. Can't really help other people when you can't help yourself

Well seeing how much of a hardcore Nintendo fan he is, that must have honestly been really hard to do for him.

Triforce should write an autobiography.
I know the Akishop folks have run into problems testing the 360+ on the PS4 also. Looks like my initial plans for a stick that works on the 4 consoles is on the back burner.
ah well... I've been secretly hoping for a reason to buy that Persona Stick when it comes out anyways.
Yooo wtf I think I've been in that library! It looks like the third floor of a Flushing, or maybe Queens library.

Triforce is a nutjob. Everyone knows it. Scrubs like me know it. I feel for him but he needs to find a new way forward which will mean stepping away from his cause. My hunch is that he won't, though, and he will go down with his ship
Wow, I really believe Triforce when he says this. The only thing I won't cut him slack for was the placing of his priorities. Your own life and family >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Some kids on the street for days. I really pity the fact he's in this position but he brought it upon himself trusting them. This is why I don't sub to anyone anymore or do donations, I know people who are messed up in my neck of the woods, which is surprisingly a lot of people. Wouldn't be surprised if there was a bunch of them in the East Coast scene.
He just has to start anew and leave the scene, it clearly isn't working out for him. People have different views on karma, but it will certainly come back to bite ones in the future. If this truly is the case for a lot of the EMP guys, they're gonna get their share of the struggle in the future. But out of curiosity, are there any archives for the ARC? I would imagine they recorded some of it.

yea I have a 360+ too and was hoping that their tests would work out. Damn
Oh come on I just outfitted all of my sticks with the 360+
Ah well, at least I got dreamcast/PS2 playability
No, we need a documentary of this man. "A Peek into the Mind of Triforce"
A 7 hour long interview interspersed with images of EMP sponsors.
Sp00ky sacrificed his love life, etc, for Min, NJ, Art, Kuma, etc, too. But he also doesn't leech money from them and tell them to do things like congratulate him when they win something. Sp00ky donated $800 to Art to get his computer fixed. Triforce would have laughed at Art and told him he can have an extra can of Beefaroni.
The biggest difference there is that Sp00ky actually has the money to give in a spot like that. Triforce would only give the Beefaroni because that's all he has.
honestly it's impossible to tell what to believe when triforce says anything because he's been shown to be mentally unstable alongside being a compulsive liar and a scumbag
this is the same guy who claimed that arturo and justin had ties to the russian mob and had been investigated by the fbi. that's only the most recent shit he's said. i'm sure other folks remember other insane crap he's promoted as the truth.
as for a triforce documentary: that's kinda what the king of chinatown is, somewhat? speaking of which remember the part in that documentary where some former emp members said that he would be trying to convince high school kids to not go to college and join emp instead.
i've heard pretty fucked up stories from some folks but idk how true they are. they all sound plausible but that dude's existence has already broken poe's law several times over

I remember when Spooky streamed from the basement before they got kicked out. Those streams were the best. Basically had Min, Nerdjosh and sometimes Art there just chilling out and playing games on stream.
Triforce is horrible with money management. I forgot who said instead of using up front money he got from VXG to do worthwhile things, he spent it on some Jamaican girl or something. And what ever happened to the $25k Remix invested into EMP? You mean to tell me the money he wanted to make EMP an actual success story cannot be accounted for? Over two decades with nothing to show for except for awards and records 99% of the world's population doesn't give a crap or even know about.
The captain goes down with the ship.
What?! That a shit thing to do.
Perfect time to abandon ship.

Spooky said he made 60k last year, you best believe he got money to spot like that.

What's weird is that even though he talks a lot about sponsors, yet people don't really know who the sponsors are, even though teams are suppose to be promoting them. Like EG always has the monster logo on their streams and gear so you know they are sponsoring the team.
I remember I saw EMP having some energy drink sponsorship
http://dgp.macleem.com/empire-arcadia-gets-its-own-energy-drink-through-digigear-pro/
But I have seen these drinks before. I think they are the leftovers from a Capcom Captivate or something (I forgot what event but I know I have seen these around before). I remember people saying they tasted horrible.

Well Triforce was pretty adamant about people accusing him of things he never did based off of rumors. I'll agree with Kadey, he probably terribly manages money because with all this time he's had and still nothing to show for it.
I think bringing KDZ, Triforce and Justin onto OBS to talk it out civilly might clarify quite a few things. Hell throw in TampaBison too, as long as Triforce doesn't throw a tantrum, then maybe he can move on from all of this because if it keeps on going like this, the man might take his own life from the mental instability/weakness he shows on a regular basis. Granted, he did lose practically everything for the ARC/FGC.
Where is this I would like to see it.
It's been posted elsewhere in this thread. I'm about to leave so I can't find it but I assure you it's in the last couple pages.

And credit goes to Sourenga of course for translating all of this.
Edit: Beaten
Oh yeah, I definitely need to give credit where it's due. I'm so happy this translation exists. It's a great thing to point to.
rhapsody, what you think of SAO II as of yet?

To the person who gave me the EVOla virus; fuck you.
To anyone in the Long Beach, CA area; could you swing by my apartment and kill me? Thanks.
Oh, and if you played GG at all at EVO, we probably met. Allow me to apologize for being such a dick. Lack of sleep and <redacted> made me more than a little grumpy. Outside of one person, no one really deserved to be a victim of my animosity.
That one person, though...

But what if I told you... IT WAS ME!
It's not, next evo I recommend keeping your vitamin C levels high I learned this from years of cons and nearly dying one year. Also keep some hand sanitizer near the stations and ask people to use before playing :3

No, but you broke my heart. You didn't win EVO. You didn't Smash. You didn't turn up.

All about the Third Empire.
Anyone who is even remotely interested in playing UNIEL should go watch the video that's been linked about six times, it's super useful. I was thinking about doing a system tutorial for the game once I got my copy, but that seems a little redundant now (or not -- an abridged version would still be useful, I can't imagine that most people are going to watch the full hour).
I do want to thank Magna_Mixalis for giving us a bunch of stuff to give away with the AH3:LM side tournament (even if nothing was like the borderline illegal t-shirt Examu sent us... yikes).
He did give me a death glare (or eight) when I was asking about some UNIEL stuff late on Sunday, but at that point I can't blame him.

I was speeding towards the front stage, people like to fucking sit in the side ilses that are there to move about, normally people got out of my way, eventually one dude just starting shouting "CLEAR THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY" when I had to go through. Though one dude was fucking oblivious as fuck to everything. Guy shouted like 5 times, he wasn't even that far away. Eventually he came up said YO JUST GO, I ended up running over the dudes hand. Then I heard the guy say after I was riding off "AND THAT'S WHY I SAID TO GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY WHITE BOY"
