Evo in Richmond, VA

heh I wanted to give us a name, but it'd be rude to name virginia without involving everyone who plays, all 3 of 'em =)

I got an email from a student at Virginia Commonwealth University (www.vcu.edu) that said their rec center recently got evo. I'll be trying to arrange a time to visit with him... he doesn't get on VFDC all that often from what I'm reading. Anyway, anyone else who wants to try some evo with me and whoever I can drag along.... try out VCU need weekend.

 

BOOYAH!

I guess we can hold another MidA gathering there... I'll see if I can organize something.

 

Went there today with shadowdean... couldn't resist a visit. I didn't get to meet jimmy, but I got to play... the arcade's great.

~10-15 pool tables + food court +

Evo (pretty good stick, adequate monitor)
SC2
MVC2
CVS2
Some DDR game
Strikers 1945
Bust-a-Move 3?4?
A "select from a hundred old games" system which had capcom games up to SF2T
and best of all... BATTLE BALLS! A game I love which isn't emulated anywhere.

 

hey creed where do you live? i live near Raleigh NC. I wonder how far thats from richmond?

 

I shouldn't consider going to grad school at VCU...that is if I want to attend classes /versus/images/icons/smirk.gif

I will definatly have to check this out as soon as I can find the time.

 

Sup! Driving to me personally would take you 4 and a half hours at least. Driving to richmond though... only 3 /versus/images/icons/laugh.gif

So if you're up for it, we'd be glad to hook up.

 

All right ill ask my friend if we can go up one day. since im 14 and i cant drive there yet.

At the arcade you play at do they sell cards? I dought they are connected to VF.NET. hope they are.

 

sup... no cards at this arcade, only two machines in the US can handle cards. Too bad eh?

 

Yeah..so I can rapezor you again j/k...Definatly hope to have some ddr skills when I go back.

 

this is great! i am so happy that you all plan to come sometime......i'll try to pay more attention now to the boards...and always my email of course, jimmytullner@hotmail.com.....i'm always up for a game! don't expect a great challenge from me though....i just like to drink with shun /versus/images/icons/wink.gif

 

oh one more thing. i don't want you all to think i'm being an asshole or anything, i just want to be honest in response to gandalf suggesting a big gathering here. i work here, where we have the game room, and unforunately the people who run the place are dicks and always want to make money. one time some people ran an unofficial, non-breakpoint (the name of the gameroom) CvS2 tourney, and they got in trouble.

so, its fine to meet up there and play, but if we want to have a whole lot of folks and a tourney, we will either have to do it thru the silly breakpoint manager, or through the video game club of VCU (which i started as a joke and i'm the president and would make things a lot easier for our purposes).

another cool thing...in one of our ballrooms (in the same building) we have a data projector and a big big screen. i use my dreamcast vga adapter to play on it all the time, and (at least i think) its really awesome. i know ps2 vga boxes are like 40$, and i'm willing to spring for one or if someone has one, and if my bro comes he can bring his ps2 and his arcade stick and we can take a break from wasting our money (if you all are willing to tolerate non-evo gameplay). let me know about that though, cuz making sure the ballroom is free is important.....

ok i've said enough already! i'm just really excited thats all....i've never played with the masters before! /versus/images/icons/grin.gif

 

sup... I'm down for playing PS2, but if I travel there, I'm gonna be playing more evo than anything else. As long as we don't call it a tournament, the asshole manager won't mind if 4 or 5 guys are hanging around that machine, right?

 

Hi, I am a friend of Jimmy's who has learned VF alongside him all these years. I would also be honored to play players of a vastly higher skill level.

Most of the people in our local arcades have turned into Tekken players, so we really haven't had anyone to play against besides each other in a long while. So I am looking forward to getting my ass handed to me.

I am scared...hold me...

 

Holy cow! Not one, but TWO Richmond VF4 players?

All right, let's set up a gathering.

 

Well we are originally Hampton players. Jimmy is in Richmond trying to get and education or something like that.
Most of the time when we play it is at Jimmy's brothers house. His room mate has a wide screen TV and surround sound, blah, blah, blah.
If Hampton is closer to anyone, just email me and we can set upa video game night or something.

 

Hey, all of you check out my D.C gathering thread....come on down and play!!!!!!!

 

Hey whats up guys! I dont know if you've noticed our gathering we're holding in Charleston, SC... we're hoping to have a big turnout and it would be really awesome if you guys could make it down here! Here's the info:
