    And Ephiram, when he says he doesnt take it seriously, he means the game play of Brawl, not the tournament itself. And honestly, how many people do u know that constantly play this game nowadays for the sake of pure competition? Most people do not practice this game anymore for the sake of getting better, therefore most people don’t take it as seriously as you would think. There is only so much u can learn in Brawl, and unfortunately it is a restricted game in terms of new things to learn. Now Melee is a different story, lots of people that have been playing that game since its release in 2001 are STILL learning new things about it but this is not the case with Brawl. Brawl is catered more towards the causal crowd, but this is ok because so many people can play it and have fun. Sounds to me like you are generalizing us competitive guys and just because we dont take the game seriously doesnt mean we dont like it and arent having fun! ;)

     

    I’m going to do my best to avoid an argument, but I disagree on this one. At the last LAN, I talked to John about the tournament. I said something along the lines of “I hope I do well in the Brawl tournament. I’ve been practicing a lot.” He responded with “Dude, it’s just Brawl.” If you don’t care about your own tournament, you shouldn’t be running it. I do not find lots of people playing Brawl nonstop, but I only know three or four people who play Melee nonstop. These people would have hated Brawl no matter what it was like, because they miss Melee. It is wrong to say that Brawl is limited in gameplay when the only form of Smash Bros. you want to play is a very limited form of Melee that excludes most stages, modes, and items. I know some people get *edited*ed off at me because I defend Brawl, but look at it from my perspective. Every *edited* time I play Brawl with you, John, or Nebs, all I can hear is constant complaining that we aren’t playing Melee instead. If I am playing a game, the implication is that I like it and don’t want to hear *edited*ing while I play. And this does not mean that everybody hates Brawl but me, because I have played with people who are good at Brawl and who actually like it. That is why I no longer provide my Wii at LANs. I don’t want people to use my property just to criticize a game I like.

    Angel and Devon might be dissapointed, but there’s maybe five people on campus that even take Brawl seriously, two of them being Ephraim.

     

    1. Brawl consistantly brings in lots of people. It would be foolish not to bring it back next LAN.

    2. For the Wii Council Leader to say he doesn’t take one of his own tournaments seriously is inappropriate.

    3. The notion that only five people on campus take Brawl seriously is baseless. Maybe none of your competitive gaming friends like Brawl, but they represent a tiny fraction of overall LAN attendance.

     

    You are allowing your personal opinions get in the way of basic logic: High Attendance=Repeat Tournament

    I love the animated series. I’ve been waiting for them to make new episodes for years, but it isn’t looking likely.

    If there were irrefutable proof that Michael Jackson molested children, then he should be remembered as an evil man and not as a wonderful musician. The same can be said of murderers like O.J. Simpson and William S. Burroughs. However, as it stands, there is no absolute evidence that he molested children, so there is nothing wrong with enjoying his work.

    There is no way I’d let my kids stay at his ranch, but I’m not going to say he was a pedo, because there was no absolute proof.

    so wait, not to derail, but what’s going on with North Korea?

     

    Think Cuban Missile Crisis with Asian people.

    Last night, I was having an argument with an idiot on Facebook about Michael Jackson. He said he was *edited*ed off that Jackson’s death was getting more coverage than the North Korean situation. I tried explaining to him that all known details of that situation are already known and when more details immerge the media will focus on it. Right now everyone is surprised about Jackson’s death and so it’s a big story. Admitedly, the media is overplaying it, but there’s no logical connection to North Korea. Then he compared Jackson to Hitler or something. Stupid people are stupid.

     

    It is unknown whether or not Michael Jackson really was a pedophile. He was certainly a troubled and weird man, but he was also one of the most talented singers in the history of recorded music.

    Yes they’ll make one eventually and yes it will fail. Hard. Like Dreamcast style, only harder.

     

    Breif aside: The Dreamcast failed commercially, but it was a fine system.

    I know. I didn’t watch E3, I just assume he is talking about FF13. Unless of course, FF14 was actually shown there.

     

    14 was shown. Square likes to start previewing products waaay in advance.

    There was only 1 year between the release of CS1.6 and CSS.

     

    Yes, but they are totally different games. L4D1 and 2 look pretty much the same. I kinda thought that Valve would just release updates for L4D every now and again, like TF2.

    It’s up now. There’s about 500 photos. You probably need an account to see it.
