Holy crap I'm so there!!!!!!!

 

Re: TGP Winter GameFest 2007 - Scranton, PA - Dec.

yup, copy and paste is great, should have looked over the original post a little more closely.

Sadly, I don't think Nick (owner of TGP) can guarantee the backwards time travel at the tourney, so I fixed the dates.

 

Re: TGP Winter GameFest 2007 - Scranton, PA - Dec.

A VF5 Tourney in Scranton!!!!? Come on now, there's only 2 people who play VF in Scranton. If I'm wrong, by all means let me know!

Akira Zero, I may be able to provide you with a free place to stay if you do decide to attend this thing.

 

Re: TGP Winter GameFest 2007 - Scranton, PA - Dec.

Awesome! I'll be there dude. I haven't seen you in ages.

 

Re: TGP Winter GameFest 2007 - Scranton, PA - Dec.

Naw until very recently you were right, I should know, I was one of those, two, haha (though, I technically live a 35 miles outside of Scranton).

TGP picked up the game on the 360, and, thankfully, people are warming up to it. The scene isn't huge and for pretty much all of them this is their first VF, but hey, it's more than two.

 

Re: TGP Winter GameFest 2007 - Scranton, PA - Dec.

Hmm, feels short notice...Sounds interesting...but I don't know yet...

 

Re: TGP Winter GameFest 2007 - Scranton, PA - Dec.

sounds interesting...

not too far away either...

hmmmmmm

 

Re: TGP Winter GameFest 2007 - Scranton, PA - Dec.

Simon says go to this one dammit!!

 

Re: TGP Winter GameFest 2007 - Scranton, PA - Dec.

whats the expected turnout for this?

 

Re: TGP Winter GameFest 2007 - Scranton, PA - Dec.

honestly, couldn't tell you. The local scene is about 10 or so people last I checked (about two weeks ago) but it may have grown and I don't know how many would enter a tourney. You would better off be asking the owner of TGP, Nick (aim Giants625)

 

Re: TGP Winter GameFest 2007 - Scranton, PA - Dec.

Ok I will be there regardless

 

Re: TGP Winter GameFest 2007 - Scranton, PA - Dec.

So, is there an update as to who's going???

 

Re: TGP Winter GameFest 2007 - Scranton, PA - Dec.

I guess I can update the first post later, but here's a list of people that have expressed interest in VF5 (between here and SRK)

AkiraZero
Bacardi
CheF_FraSH
Chefboy_OB
Throwmasta
Wolf_Mishima

there should be at least six locals that would compete (maybe more)

No one has really confirmed anything yet

 

Re: TGP Winter GameFest 2007 - Scranton, PA - Dec.

I might make it and bring a buddy. Throwmasta, can I crash at your pad?

 

Re: TGP Winter GameFest 2007 - Scranton, PA - Dec.

Yeah, I need a place to stay also.

 

Re: TGP Winter GameFest 2007 - Scranton, PA - Dec.

The bad news is, I won't be competing in this tourney; due to me not being able to play the game under perfect circumstances on Xbox 360. I can't use my MAS arcade stick unless someone has an XFPS 360 Pro or Sniper (and not sure if they even work perfectly as a PS2/360 converter). The good news is, I get to smack around AkiraZero and Dissmaster on PS3 if they need a place to stay /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif. Who else is definitely attending this tourney from out of town? I better let Frank know about this; since he would probably be able to transition to the Xbox 360 pad rather easily (Fuckin pad players!).

 

Re: TGP Winter GameFest 2007 - Scranton, PA - Dec.

I may be able to compete in this after all (and bring a friend) if I can get me one of those "Arcade-in-a-Box" sticks for 360. Not sure if it would arrive in time for Dec. 29th though.

 

Re: TGP Winter GameFest 2007 - Scranton, PA - Dec.

I'd like to attend... but I'm employed again... we'll see.

 

Re: TGP Winter GameFest 2007 - Scranton, PA - Dec.

Any updates on who is coming to this? My place is available for anyone who will be traveling here.
