[XZero264]

I'm down. Hit me up, n what day are you going down?

 

[Matt Ponton]

Keep in mind guys, the more people who pre-register, the chance of us getting on the primary stream increases.

 

[XZero264]

I'm down. Hit me up, n what day are you going down?

Saturday morning through noon Sunday is the reservation. I'll be there Saturday morningish, tall skinny redhead that isn't Rikuto.

 

[Matt Ponton]

I think the "tall" part would say you aren't Rikuto.

or maybe he is considered tall, just that he's shorter than me so I don't think he would be considered tall.

Just a reminder to participants, at this current time Big E Gaming events have the 360 -> PS3 converter called the "Cronus" banned.

The adapter I use.
PC: http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Adapter-XBOX360-PS3-PS2-USB/dp/B0089OBLDO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1391974063&sr=8-3&keywords=controller adapter
Mobile: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0089OBLDO?cache=5c83bbb4d15138e3651855d62def0e9a

Cheap and very reliable.

Not Chronus but plugging a PS3 controller into an XBox360 requires a wired 360 control. I've lent this out at previous events and nobody has had any issues with it, myself included when I lose a control at home and use my 360 control on my PS3. Extremely minimal lag (I don't notice any) and has a turbo function.

Be nice with the adaptor (like any wired control) and it will last you a good while

wtf why?

 

[CyberEvil]

wtf why?

Many instances of the device causing dropped inputs for players not even using it when someone else is on the system.

wtf why?

• Eric Small
  
  We did this over a month ago. Even the company said most of the unite are bad. Sorry.​
• Lei Juan
  
  Cronus has been banned from multiple events by multiple organizers the problems have varied from random controller dc's to causing input lag on the console. There have been multiple problems and even the company has declared defective units.​
• John Cao
  
  In response to that, the developers are planning to make another one where it's tourney legal​
• Eric Small
  
  Yes. We had a great conversation with them. I believe in the company and can't wait.​

 

[Kain]

Any last minute people looking for a room?

Any last minute people looking for a room?

Talk to Jaeger.

I won't be able to make it this weekend. I'm needed for emergency electrical work all day tomorrow and after that i need to do some necessary truck repairs. Good luck everybody, hopefully I'll see you guys next Big E event.

Not sure what everyone's FSD user names are, so I'm not even gonna try tagging. But shout-outs to @BBoyDragon for his unique brand of coaching and for being a pal all weekend, to @Gill Hustle for sharing his sagely Ayane wisdom and indirectly getting me hooked on perler sprite lanyards, and to KP Darkstar for crushing my confidence before the tournament had even begun by beating me something like 12-1 and then telling me it was his first DoA tournament. Shout-outs to @Requiem, @Jaeger, @Mr.Kwiggle, and @IMMERW0LF just for being cool people. Shout-outs to @SonicFox5000 for accepting challenges in a game he had like an hour of experience with. Shout-outs to Bifuteki and Avylon for streaming/recording what they could. Shout-outs to anyone I played or hung out with and somehow missed in the wall of shout-out text. Shout-outs to shout-outs.

In short: that was fun. We should do it again sometime!

(Sorry in advance if this volume of shout-outs proves too much for the servers to handle. I just don't know when to stop.)
