It's Almost Here! - Korea

So I haven’t really been keeping up. Guess we’ve all been too busy with the hype of Street Fighter IV being JUST AROUND THE FREAKIN’ CORNER! I honestly cannot wait! If you look at that timer over on the right, you’ll see it says 8 days (at the time this was written, we all know it’s suppose to be 9). Almost a week now, anyways, I’m gonna go on about some other things right now.

I’ve seen a few things in the couple weeks that I haven’t been writing. First of all was the Smash Tournament held last Saturday on the 7th. It was a good showing by the Smash scene and two of the top BC players (one of which is the best in Canada). It was fun and I’m glad that everyone was able to show up. Props to nYo and Blunted_Object10 for setting it up, and props to Russell Racca for housing both BO10 and his bro Noobking.

We all remember Screwattack, right? We also remember the challenge that Soulja Boi sent out to anyone about kicking people’s asses on Live. Then we all remember Screwattack accepting the challenge. Well word on the street was that Soulja Boi caught wind of the video challenge that was released to the internet. 

A good parody of a crappy song. So Soulja Boi decided to accept their challenge, only it was HE who challenged anyone out there. Which is why Screwattack is asking him to come out to SGC (Screwattack Gaming Con) to face each of them at a certain game. So I say Soulja Boi step up, or screw off! The gaming industry does not need you to back down from something you started.

One thing that happened to me really ticked me off.

I went to EB to pay off my Standard Edition Fight Stick and SFIV Collectors Edition, and I found out that EB had risen the price on the Fightstick to 99.99! I was blown away by it. I paid $172 dollars for a stick and a game! And what’s even more dumb is this EB location is gonna be a bunch of jerks and not have the game on the shelves and crap on opening day. We’ll have to wait for the shipping truck and crap and who knows when they’ll get the fucking game into the system. So I will probably be pretty pissed off when I get my game later than some other people. Honestly, you’d think that they’d have more courtesy at these types of establishments. Guess they’re not trained for that shit. They just like to make that mad dough, then again who doesn’t.

So now that I’ve paid a bitch of an amount for SFIV, I’m thinking if anyone is going to be using the Standard Edition stick for any tournaments, I’m thinking of actually charging a little money for it’s use. I’m just asking probably gonna ask for 2 bucks a pop. Probably not this tournament, but I do want to get 20 dollars back at least. That was a bitch move by EB and Capcom.

I’m gonna end this one here, it’s short, but it’s an update.

See you in like 3 days. 

Just letting you know, that I will be at the University in the Science Lounge on the 18th trying to unlock all characters and try to get some people to come to the launch tournament on Saturday. Depending when I get the game, I will probably there til 6 PM or so. So drop by if you want, you know, to test the game out!
