honestly i was skeptic about this LAN since there really not many games i wanted to play and i was kinda mad that resistance, goldeneye and NCAA were voted in, which was b/c no one showed up to vote. I honestly didnt think those were right for the LAN and it turned out i was right, but atleast now ppl know. Though when i showed up i had a blast. I met so many knew ppl and a few i already knew that i had no idea played video games like that. Was real cool!
here are my ratings.
+ there were a whole lot of new people there
+ advertising had gotten alot better
+ Street Fighter was a great addition to the LAN
+ thought the new execs did a good first job
– I saw the ps3 leader cuss out the Console VP, which was very un proffesional on the clubs part (well his). If the VP says to do something that console leader should listen.
– One game shouldnt be played on both consoles it was very ineffecient
– Games need to be voted in that will draw more people, not games only a few ppl think will be fun
– More Pizza!
– Better Organization with the schedule
Lets make the next LAN even better!
Sorry I couldnt get more pizza Exile, Reslife only gave us $200 which got us 23 large pizzas. And as far as the console vp being cussed at thing goes, I handled it. Since Street fighter IV was such a big tournament, I decided to help the ps3 leader (because it was his job to run that tournament since it was dual platform and Audyo wasnt there) out and I approved of the way he was running things so the console vp shouldn’t have said anything to begin with. But this will be elaborated on at the meeting, so lets end this discussion for now.

Despite the rather large turnout and the fact that a lot of my close friends showed up (which meant a lot to me personally considering some of the family things I’m dealing with right now), I was generally unhappy with how some of things were run.
I personally ran the NCAA 09 tourney, which I was happy to play in, but at the same time it was probably the worst time of the year to play it considering most sports gamers minds are on Basketball and Baseball seasons, thus why I thought there was a rather small turn out. Gears, though not officially voted in, got shafted at the end of the night, and as a result there were a lot of hot tempers that went off in the process. Resistance 2 and 007 were very poor game choices, which was exactly as I had suspected back when I heard they were chosen in the first place.
And to be all honest, despite the fact that I had fun hanging out with my friends, unless things change with the game choices, and peoples mentalities and attitudes regarding said choices, this past LAN will probably be the last one I attend here at Western.
Now you guys know how us PS3 guys felt last year, not even being able to have a PS3 tournament until I came around and turned some heads with the Soul Calibur IV turnout last semester. Now things like Resistance 2 and Goldeneye not doing to great should be an incentive for you guys to come out this Thursday and vote because I remember back in the day when you 360 guys were all for playing only the games that were voted in. And no offense Dark Omen but the LAN isnt just about the 360, bigger selections of games should be played other than 360 shooters and EVERYONE in this club should be thinking about what will draw in a bigger crowed to the LANs other than their own selfish wants (and I mean all of the people that were pouting about Gears, and the whole way SFIV was ran, come on people, think about others and not just yourselves)
