Cork casuals?

Chris IWS

Massively and entirely selfish on my part, but anybody willing to host some local games.
I will bring along some extra equipment as needed (360, PS3, couple of low lag monitors, maybe a couple of crappy extra sticks if necessary).
I would be more than willing to host myself, but this will involve journeying to the butthole of nowhere (Millstreet).

As I say, entirely selfish. I just don't enjoy playing online and I'm not gonna learn much constantly playing against just my brother.
Will be heading to CEO again this year, and would like to get some actual practice in beforehand this time.

dont think about it as selfishness..
other players feel the same. and could also benefit from offline sessions.

I'd be willing to make that journey since I happen to live in that butthole as well. I'd be up for travelling more than 5 minutes too if it came to it.

Oh snap! Where you at?

I'm shocked that there is another player, besides Desk, in Millstreet. We're right in the middle of town, if you have a 3DS I think I've met you on Street Pass before!

Millstreet confirmed location for all future tournaments in the South!

Edit: And yeah, that was me on Streetpass!

raah!

Just saw this now. Good to see there are still cork people playing. I will look at getting my affairs together in the city and then maybe I can host some.

Chris IWS

If brickterium checks his PMs we might get some games in today. :P

ladnopoka

Deskmenu

I won't be able to make anything till the end of the month because of college exams, sorry.

You been saying this since summer 2013 :pac:

raah!

Hahahah yeah that's true vizard

Misty Chaos

The truth is they're all waiting for me to come home because the Cork scene fell apart after I left. :pac:

Stormwrench

Doubtful I'd be able to make it out to anywhere aside from the city myself for the foreseeable future, so if some casuals or anything happened in Cork city itself I'd hope to do some.

We should try get things running again before the long summer starts. Add me on fb or something easier for communication instead of boards. :P

jimmypenguin

Yeah I was gonna suggest making one for the Cork lads. Try to gather all the oldies. I remember we all exchanged numbers which isn't convenient for group meet ups. The lack of communication is probably why the cork scene died. Boards isn't a great help for this as most of us don't go on it daily.

Not a big fan of Facebook but notifications for a group would be more useful than manually checking boards, obviously.

If you follow a thread on boards it can send you an email notification when a thread you're subbed to is updated. Just fyi!

Yeah, I'm subbed to several, but I'm talking more specifically about when somebody starts a new thread.

Saturday is the only 100% definite day for me, Fridays are like 75%. Like I said in OP, I can bring 2 monitors, a 360, and a PS3 if there's any need for it.

jimmypenguin

Always working on Sunday. Saturday is a guaranteed day off. Just the way it is at the moment.
I never even knew about the Tempest page, tbh.

Well, it's almost two weeks. Plenty of time to see if many others can make it.

Deskmenu

I should probably be able to make it, barring anything coming up in the mean time. Not sure if there's anything I can bring besides a copy of Super SF4.

VizardAnto

Joined the facebook thing there, hopefully we can get some ultra casuals going at some point.

jimmypenguin

great first session.. look forward to more!

DrDrago

Good to hear things are happening in Cork again, how many showed up?

Rhino n Chips

Are ye just playing SF4? Because I'd be willing to bring up a 360 & tv if anyone wants to play TTT2. I also have SF3, Mvc2 and Skullgirls on the hard drive, I just don't have SF4.
Glad to finally get some fighting game events in Cork for once

I brought along a bunch of games, but we just ended up playing Ultra the whole time.

6 iirc, which was decent start, and fine for a casual session. Like I said, I'm definitely gonna make more of an effort to make it to meetups in Cork. Lugging equipment is my biggest hardship at the moment. Lol.
Also sad I missed out on the projector play as well. Might just find a place to stay overnight next time.
Gonna be away for the next couple of weeks now. Heading for Orlando and CEO on Tuesday. Can't wait, and I have a few guys I chat to online to meet up with this time. Crowd Monster Sunday gonna be hype!

like i was saying if u ever want to leave a tv or whatever at mine,there plenty of space were it can be safely stored away.
pity you had to leave early alright..i really just pulled the projector down to see could anyone notice if their was any heavy lag..it ended up staying down for the rest of evening so you can prob guess it worked a treat
i may end up using it full on now as permanent screen if the numbers keep up..anyway enjoy the trip bud and catch u back at mine for more..

goodjay

thanks to all for making the effort guys,was a brill night.hope to see yee all again same day same time same bat channel next week
