FlipTopBox memorial thread (and current match)

I should have posted this earlier, but it's been a busy week. :( On April 17th, Tom Music, Auburn Virtual-On Crew's 'FlipTopBox' passed away after a long battle with cancer. I memorialized him the best I could , remembering when I first met him in AVC, and later on in life. The only play record we h...

Re: Hey: Anyone in Washington State (not D.C.)

Oh hey, I should check the forums more often.
Well, I'm on the east side of WA. The only other AVC members I kept tabs on either don't have a 360, or are out of the country.

Well, he does respond fast, so it won't go unnoticed.

Re: VOOT Night

Also, I now officially feel old. Yes, your old-person rage was palpable! But we can't all grow up with Transformers you know. ;) It was hearing about Power Rangers that put it over the top, with repressed memories of my baby cousins demanding it every time they were over at my parents' house. :lol:...

Re: Roll call - who is still playing VOOT!?

I apologize for not being on Live much; but the one-two punch of deadlines at work(that have prevented me from taking vacation so far, this year), and a drunk driver crashing into my house(necessitating a move) have left me exhausted the past month. :cry:

Re: Japanese Tournament on Sunday, August 2

Man, I hate 24-hour flus. Sounds like it was awesome, though! Menthol posted about this tournament on Shoryuken and I posted about it on GAF. A handful of people on both forums play the game but I don't think anyone was willing to wake up in the twilight hours just to be stomped down in the first co...

Re: Japanese Tournament on Sunday, August 2

Bugger. I've come down with a bad flu this weekend (probably my rassa-frackin' boss' kids) , so I'm going to have to drop out, and after this message I'm going to pass out with an ice pack on my head. :( I've emailed the tournament staff as well. Sorry! Everyone, do your best, and I hope they hold a...

Re: Good Games/ Bad Games Thread

What's the usual day/time people are playing? I've been juggling projects and overtime at work, so I don't always fire it up every weeknight (this Sunday I was on for awhile, and got some tournament matches taken care of).

Re: Good Games/ Bad Games Thread

Good games to feixaq, SchoolyD, Cosmos Owl, and aniking! Sorry my connection kept dropping me out of Party Chat...
Also, neoken, I think with both our (marginal) connections, we would drop out of each others games.

Re: Thoughts on a properly new VON

It may sound weird coming from me, but one of the things that I got hyped for Force(until I played it) was the 2-on-2 action, which I'd love to see experimented with again. Supposedly the speed was much higher in beta testing, but they knackered it in the final release to avoid driving away newbie p...

Re: VOOT 5.66 on XBLA this April, 1200 points

Heads up, the Amazon deal on the Live 60GB Starter Pack is back . I just ordered mine, so I'll be looking to pick up a new 360 Arcade in the next few weeks(the local Best Buy is full of Jasper units). Good thing my garage sale is coming up! Also, before you hack your Saturn sticks up, I'm looking in...

Re: (Speculation) What would Force look like on XBLA...?

IIRC, Virtua Fighter 5 had just come out with a card system, so I believe Sega was pushing it pretty heavy. Really, Force always struck me as trying to throw together too many experimental ideas too quickly and hacking them together to make it “playable”. Four-player matches: just slow the speed dow...

Re: It's April

You guys gotta understand....Sega and Microsoft have been in cahoots ever since the Dreamcast used a modified version of Windows as it's OS. Matter of fact, if you think about it, the Xbox 1 was practically the "Dreamcast 2". Horrible conspiracy shatterer here: the DC didn't have an integ...

Re: Share your VO experience or history

Was that the Sakura-con in 2001? If so, I was there (I'll try to track down some photos later). That was a fun event. Yup, although I don't know how I missed you there. I chalk it up to lack of face/name coordination, much like when I'm pretty sure I saw Scott at the Gameworks machine in 2000 or so...

Re: Share your VO experience or history

oh right, I forgot to list mine. I seem to recall hearing about VOOM when it was in development stage, from C+VG or somewhere, mentioning "fight as the classical Japanese giant robots". I do remember the first time I laid eyes on a VOOM machine, in early high school or so down at Southcent...
