Episode 21: Alachia goes to the WSVG is up. Sorry for those of you who aren't into pro gaming.. it won't mean much to you but it meant a whole lot to me! :D
Those pics are awesome, haven't got headphones with me so can't listen to new episode yet :( Umm i don't know where it is but Don's Diner's bacon looks gooooood Really great to hear you had a good time.
Wow the World series of Video Games is still going on O_O? I was at the London event about mid October, and it was on there too :o
Tis cool you got to meet Fat1lity in the flesh, when me and my mate went we saw him going 1 v 1 with another guy, and he creamed him big time. What topped it off was he walked right past us after the match, but we didn't have the balls to ask him for a picture :P
Really cool pics, the event looked a lot like the London one. Did it happen to have Alienwares and Dell laptops everywhere per chance? :P
Anyway, just downloaded episode 21, can't wait to listen to it.
The Counter Strike Matches and Warcraft 3 matches were played on Dell XPS top of the line lap tops. Quake 4 was played on Fatality machines (about 3400 dollars worth of hardware). Halo and PGR were played on XBOX 360s. The only thing I was not impressed with were the monitors. For me, it was a total drool fest. Part of the reason I hung out in the practice room for so long was to hang around all the XPSs. I wanted one so bad. *drool*
and yeah. this was the WSVG Finals. The rest were all qualifying rounds from different countries around the world. The winners of this one are considered world champions!
I doubt the hotel will charge another night. I have been in situation where I was late checking out for one or two hours but it depends on management in the end.
RTS does take a mental toll on players, more so then FPS. The guy that was reading the comics is his way to manage stress. Unlike FPS there really no reason play a pre-game other then to test the machine to make sure everything work well.
I quit CoH for three weeks because I play two long close matches (6 games total). It just wore the hell out of me mentally. On the other hand this never happen to when playing FPS.
BTW may I suggest that you use the laughing man logo to censor out faces in the future? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laughing_Man_(Ghost_in_the_Shell)
I've seen Alachia's face. Don't let that pic fool you. She has a nose. ;-P
And not even a phone call. I know your cell had my number from caller ID. I could have taken some time to forget to get gas and thus not be able to drive up to NYC. ;-P
Heh, Starman lives in (North) New Jersey . Then again, so do I. But, I live in South Jersey, about 10 mins from Philly. My driving makes the trip to NYC about 1.5 hours (normally 2 hours at the speed limit).
South Jersey FTW! North Jersey is too overcrowded, and has even worse car insurance prices than South Jersey.
Alachia - Show 21 is stellar! Loved every minute. Sounds like that was a very cool experience. Congrats on the opportunity and I'm so glad you decided to chronicle the entuire thing for us.
Nice episode and nice picts! Come on the real reason you wore black is because you wanted to blend with the whole city of New York...everyone wears black in the city. I should know I work in NYC!
You shouldn't have taken the Path...but I'm sure you were tired and your senses were overloaded with the sights and sounds of the city. Mine sure were my first time to NYC.
