Title: xLan 09
Post by: stereomonkey on July 13, 2009, 04:20:09 PM
Hahah,  what a awesome time I had!

5 Days of awesomeness.  Shouts out to Lenny, Euan, Ben, Mike, Smoof, Simon, Kevin, Skullator, Mark, Will, Mason, James and everyone else who I meet over the past week.  You guys seriously rock!  Mega awesome super shout out to Lenny and Euan for looking after me when I first arrived in Auckland.  Thanks for that ;)

When I get back to Oz I'll upload all the videos of all the matches I recorded (even the two that I was thrashed in  :'()  I will try to get the photos I took up too sometime.  I'm also thinking of catching a bus up to Auckland for a day so if anyone knows which day would be the best give me a yell :)

Anyway, xLan 09 was...

THE DAMAGER!!!

After my epic fail at the tournament I doubt that.  But now I'm really going to take Street Fighter seriously.  Before I flew over I was not interested at all in playing SFIV, I was far more excited to meet all you fighting game enthusiast that actually do exists in NZ.

When you guys come over for some battles against the aussies I'll be there supporting you guys 100% :)

Was a shit load of fun , best weekend eva

bl bro. You should probably check that out even though it's probably just some weak ass illness you got from being exhausted/dehydrated

You looked pretty seedy when you were leaving from Lenny's... probably picked something up at xLan as well (lots of flu and shit going around there)

Hope you feel 100% soon bro

yep

was actually part of the reason I wasn't that serious about coming tbh, because I got a flu there last year and knew it'd be much worse this year.

Post by: massi4h on July 14, 2009, 01:34:39 PM
Well Euan I guess I gave you too much of THE DAMAGER. Lol. Na but hope you get better, Xlan was real awesome, good to meet with you all especially you Stu. Have a good trip back and I'll have to go back to beating you online at xmen vs street fighter.

Can't wait for these videos lol, so many epic matches. And the final pretty much looked like the final I saw in Singapore with Itazan (JAPAN) vs Pei Hoon (SINGAPORE).

GG everyone. And yeah I'm too lazy to mention you all and you all know who you are.

Bro, don't say that.  I'll have to practice it hardcore now man, plus now that you have a stick I'll have to DOUBLE practice so I don't get the damager from you man!  But yeah man, it's was mean to meet you Mason.  You got some major skills so I can't wait to see your play style at the next tournament.

Also I just finished giving big shout outs to NinjaSock.  And if any of you are wondering what the * means, it's supposed to be FUCK ;)

I still blame the demons bro.  Things like that should NOT taste that good.  You guys were like fucking demon addicts by the end of that. Blah  :-X

Anyway, here is the bigger place.  Says we can sleep 5 but you KNOW we can sleep way more than they advertise ;)  So you guys interested?

Okay, seriously though.  I need to know if this will be worth while.

I want to book it sooner rather than later (I'm not one to procrastinate).  That and I'm thinking of booking it for both Friday and Saturday.  That way I'll get the most out of you fighting game buddies!

So Euan, I'll probably not come on Wednesday if that's cool bro :)  Your welcome to come for some games if your not too busy with you B'Day :D

So I'm guessing Smoof, Lenny and maybe the Hamiltonians too?

Err... now I'm a bit worried.  Since evo is streaming this weekend and there is not a very good connection at the holiday inn (as in not available)  I might have to reorganize the accomadation.

Will people be willing to play at the inn or should we think about staying somewhere else.  ie, someones home ;)

or I can cancel everything... :'(

It was a pleasure to look after your tournament and you guys have a really great community going on here, certainly alot more friendly and excited than most gaming communities i know.

It was awesome to have you all there bringing the hype and I look forward to seeing the vids you guys took  :D
