How do you think I feel? I'm smack in the middle of Tennessee and anywhere worth going to really is pretty far away anyway.
So Brad w/ AGL says that basically there will be no events to the west in any way shape or form. Why? Because there are no facilities big enough (complete bullshit) & I quote, "Knoxville is centrally located."
Allow me to illustrate the centrality of Knoxville for the non-Americans:
No one goes to west coast halo events past Texas.

I'm in Toronto.....we don't have shit when it comes to gaming tournaments. At least you're in the same country.
343 should sponsor a big national championship and do it in Seattle or anything there

we just had toryuken tho, there was a thread and everything
I would rather have gone to this a million times over than any AGL tournament. Though I have family in Ontario and visit frequently and I can't say that aside from that there's much so I guess you have a point there.

There totally weren't posts talking about this already.
And they should use Halo CE.
I don't even know what that is lol. I was thinking more Halo stuff, does that involve Halo?
Edit: Yeah, not really into fighting games. But I guess that is a pretty big thing.
It has someone with a gun in it? Kinda like Halo?
lol I'm just pulling shit out of my ass.
edit: Yeah, Halo wise I can't think of anything Canada's gotten as of late. Sorry Bro
Also, rickenslacker, what fighting games do you play? Me and you may need to hook up if we play some of the same ones.
Holy cow, can't believe I forgot about that!

You guys had UGC Niagara last weekend with Halo 4, CoD, and a few other games, Walshy was out casting the event too.
Lol holy shit, I should pay more attention. Man was I proven wrong.

Anybody wanna play? I've had enough Rumble Pit after playing on Black Site twice in a row on Mexican host. What a fucking horrible map.

my capcpom rage boner over sfxt actually killed my enthusiasm for the genre, but i mostly played sf. was dabbling in vf a bit too. right now just keeping my fg activity in the skullgirls igg thread, i backed 'em and bought the console version cus i thought it was worth supporting, but truthfully it's not my style of fighter.
i might start playing things again once the new ae update comes out, as i've simmered down a bit after a year since the sfxt disaster, but i can't believe people have stuck with that halo 4 of a fighting game.
loooool, best comparison ever because it's pretty close.
I was super hyped for SFxTekken and even though it was terrible UMvC3 got me active in the genre again. I heard the update for XTekken made it better though, I used to play a bunch of AE, but I've set that aside as I've been play TTT2, UMvC3, & Mortal Kombat with a soon to be followed Injustice. I've never actually played Skullgirls, but I've heard it's really good.
edit: Also, shoutouts to Tekken 4, my button mashing, first fighting game.

Wait for FIFA 14, that was just announced apparently. I'll be getting it just so I can challenge, and subsequently destroy, heckfu. My FIFA 2005 skills are unparalleled, how different can the two games be really?

Have you played FIFA before? Can you get it so I can play someone worse than me?

Last FIFA game I played was FIFA 2006 for the Gamecube, lol. Been meaning to try FIFA again.
Nah but seriously we didn't experience anything near "horrible framerate" in the testing.
TexasGAF for life. This is how we do it.
I was just enjoying your fine city last week. You do have the game on exhibition.

4 hrs to beat Injustice. Good game.
Just finished ME3 today. Wow. Amazing game. Don't quite understand the shitstorm whiny fans gave it. Ending was good.
I still need to play BioShock Infinite =/
Hopefully Soon. Glad to hear it did really good.
Also how fucking sweet if 343 considered doing a live action web series of "The Fall of Reach"? Or perhaps an animated web series that could be Terminal quality animation. Maybe axis animation could create a cgi website series of Halo? Just Do It!!

Lamers.
Without getting too specific. How big of a fan of the series are you? My own opinion, the ending was one of the worst endings to a trilogy or series I've ever seen in all my life gaming. Completely threw the entire story out the window and introduced new plot points that were never really touched on. They fixed a lot with the extended cut, but if you followed the drama, even a writer of the series posted how he was against the final mission and ending.
I debated it a lot with the producer Mike Gamble and I played with a lot of BW staff in multiplayer and they understood where they went wrong.
I don't agree with the aggressive way fans handled it though. Sending dumb cupcakes, protests, some even gave death threats, that's just sad.
My own opinion, it was a hell of a game, ruined by the ending. Completely made me feel like shit for a few days, and I didn't touch the campaign again for a long time. Usually I do about 3+ run throughs of each mass effect game.

I'm not a huge fan. Haven't followed the books. Played the trilogy. I can understand why they'd be upset or loloutraged.
But this ending was inevitable in terms of how complex the situation of the final chapter to the trilogy had become. Fans can complain all they want about it, but it was suitable to the games theme.

How would you guys feel about a 15-second powerup (pretend Personal Ordnance doesn't exist and OS/Active Camo are back to being on the map) that doesn't affect your traits at all, but makes all of your kills worth double points? So getting a Triple with the powerup active would be worth 6 points, etc.

Oh man the quick scoping is what made me stop playing that game - its so easy/ anyone and everyone does it and the game degenerates into it.
Blops did the right thing by nerfing it.
