Sorry guys but Natick is hella far from me and I don't have a car anymore. That and I haven't played SG in almost a year.

If it's too far it's too far, but being out of practice is never a good reason not to make it to locals. Now is always a good time to get back into hanging out with everyone.

My Xbox hasn't been plugged in and I've been dealing with college stuff man. Framingham was already a far enough drive even when I had a car.

I have at least been hella psyched for the Mac release of SG. For me personally though, if I am going to go to a "local" event only to get continually bopped I don't really see a reason for going. I understand the whole "support you local scene" mentality but the scene in question has never been all that local for me.

It's not a tournament. It doesn't matter if you are winning or not. You go, have fun, make friends, and play a video game you all enjoy together. Having the mentality "I need to win" for casually playing and hanging out isn't the way to go. Supporting the scene is fantastic, but it's more about hanging with friends. For me, at least, any time I went to GU my thoughts were never "I have to support my game/I need to win", it was "wow, this is cool, I'm going to have fun with everyone through a game I really enjoy".

Actually... that's largely the mentality I have going to tournaments as well. As much as I enjoy beating people and doing something hype to get people excited, I primarily go for the experience of going.

Oh hey while I'm in here I should make this post: GU Friday night fight nights are officially up and running once more. The address is 1245 Worcester St Suite 1094, Natick, Massachusetts. It's in between the California Pizza Kitchen and American Girl. Here's a picture:

Well the GU sign was made in MS paint but you get the idea. That's basically what it looks like.

If you are coming from Boston, I believe the closest T stop is West Natick on the Worcester line. Anyone who comes in that way I can give you a ride the rest of the way to GU, it's like 5 minutes or something.

I dunno what's good with streaming yet. At the old GU we had a splitter on one end and an ethernet cable that was run all the way through the ceiling to our area. I need to figure out where the Internet comes out of in this place.

Tagging everyone I can think of: @Zidiane @Natezer @Deer @dMags @Icky @LordCeno @joshb911 @DaydreamingSorc @Omnyx @Pickles @Fluffy_Ducks @Tommer @Uzumakihero I'm sure I forgot a lot of people, if you think of them please tag them for me thanks


Oh yeah, I forgot Game Underground is opening in the Natick Mall. I'll probably get perfected/glorious'd by all of you though...

Don't think about it like that. Not matter what, whenever I've been to GU I've had a great time. There's plenty of other things to do besides play SG as well, and even when you do play, if you get beat handily, everyone there is willing to help you get better or explain what you can do to deal with the stuff you're having a hard time with. The MA scene is really a great bunch of people. I always enjoy coming out when I can find the time.
 
I'm just realizing that since GU is part of a mall I can feel like a real teenager on a TV show and hang out at a mall!

Too bad I'm not a teenager anymore and my life can only get worse :(

man hanging out at the mall is so overrated
I went to the mall with mwisk and its like "I could be playing SG right now my feet hurt why is everything expensive"

I know that but im just saying
I've been several times
and thanks for that :)
 
Sorry I haven't been around at all. Kinda fell off fighting games after I had to move. I drove by the location a few days ago and was really upset when the sign was no longer there. Glad to see they just relocated though.
 
Does anyone's route take them by the train lines? I'd love to come this Friday and a pickup would make my life heaps easier.
 
I really wanted to make it out to the "sort-of-inagural-because-people-were-at-combo-breaker" weekly at the new spot but I don't think transportation is gonna work out for me unfortunately. Like I said though keep me posted on the next monthly since because of the earlier time it's a lot easier for me to make it to those.
 
Basically the same for me. Friday night just isn't looking like an option for me, at least for right now, but the monthlies would be easier to make time for.

I'm always up for online matches, though.
 
Not gonna say I'm in the same boat here as well (mass pike's kind of a straight shot there for me), but if I get there early enough, I might be able to help out some with this.
 
I'll be there Friday. I'll be there early so I can talk to Alana about streaming, but I don't really wanna bother with it if we're getting less than 8 people.
 
LADIES AND GENTALMEN!!!! Battle cruiser is now operational (I now have a car)

If anyone in the Worcester area needs a ride out to GU PM me or what ever.

Also I'm gonna try to make it tonight I have no idea where I'm going but I will figure it out
 
I should be there tonight.

Its like going to the old location, just a bit further down Rt. 9.

How many did we get exactly? I kinda wanna know here.
Myself, Deer, Ceno, Tommer, and Waifu were there, we also had about 3-4 other people who I think main other games but popped in to play Skullgirls for a bit. I played like 30 games with one of those guys, I really need to learn his name at some point but I'm worried it's past the point of no return and it would be too weird if I asked him, you know?

Sometimes you have to do it. Hell, I asked AJ's name after regularly talking to him for like 2 or 3 months.
 
I'm working on a pretty strong hunch that McPeanuts' actual last name is McPeanuts.

Also, I'll be out of state on the 12th so I'll be missing next week :( I'll let Waifu know to PM you Peanuts.
 
@Tommer @Deer - I'm going to GU this friday, so I can give you guys a ride home at night if you'd like. I'd offer to drive you there too, but unfortunately I'll be coming from the West so that's not really do-able.

Edit - @Tommer - I'm an idiot and am just seeing your post directly above mine stating that you won't be around on the 12th
