I'm on. I don't have too long tonight so don't be shy.
I think I can do Tuesday next week.
I haven't followed SFxT at all recently - has that rebalance patch dropped yet? Also what Raven projectile glitch? Is that different from the Rolento one?
I'll be on tonight. Someone bug me on Steam if I forget!
Yeah... I forgot. But I blame you guys for not reminding me on Steam!
I'll try to be on tonight.
I was in bed by 10:30PM! I'm an old, old man.
I forgot about the holiday, so I won't actually be able to make it Tuesday or Thursday this week. Maybe Saturday.
FYI - SFxT has indeed been patched: link
Evo's been epic! Top 8 for SF4 is nuts and some amazing players like MarlinPie are out already for Marvel.
I seriously cannot believe they have Aris casting the finals of EVO 2012. Incredibly poor form after what happened mere months ago, that's truly disappointing.
I turned it on, saw him, then turned it back off. f*ck that guy.
EDIT: dumb question. Follow-up...got nothin'.

Seeing him on stream at all pissed me off, so I just put it in to the solo mode and only watched the main stream. UltraDavid, James Chen, Magus, and Skisonic have been putting in great work on commentary so I'm happy to watch. When there's been a woman player on, they've been incredibly respectful on the whole, which made me happy. The stream monsters... not so much, despite the $12 entry fee sadly. I still feel like it's an improvement, but the community has a long way to go.

Yeah, me too. It's no wonder the fighting game community has problems growing beyond what it currently is, the people putting on these events really need to grow up.
Wow that's pretty unfair. The guys who put their money, heart, and soul into the biggest most professional fighting game event ever are being summarily dismissed as immature? I'm pretty astonished.
I'm no Aris apologist, but not only was this entire Aris thing blown way, way out of proportion, it was six months ago and as far as streaming goes, was an isolated incident. Aris issued a public apology and has been essentially suspended from doing any sponsored streaming for six months. Putting him on stream shows that the FGC has the capacity to forgive (24k viewers at 8AM EST) and put the past behind them. If that's not growth and maturity, then you really need to stop expecting us to turn into Starcraft eSports overnight. (PS, the only community that can be like the Starcraft community is Starcraft. MLG FG streams have been doing a pretty good job at proving that, what with the godawful misunderstanding of what makes fighting games awesome.)
End rant.
ANYWAY, I just got back from EVO and I've got to say, as a first-time goer I'm pretty sure I'm going to be budgeting to do this every year. Watching a stream is nothing compared to watching the live matches on stage, visiting the vendor booths, playing DIVEKICK, and playing the best Street Fighter of my life in pools.
You clearly have your stance and I clearly have a starkly different one and neither of us are going to budge on either front.
The reality is I just got irked at the reaming on not just Aris, but the people putting on these events considering how much work went into this event and ultimately turned out to be a gigantic success despite bad blood between Aris and parts of the community. I still think your comment was unfair, but I apologize for my presumption.
Getting back on track to the spirit of the thread, I'm set to be in lobby on Wednesday & Thursday for some matches, but I'm afraid that 7p PST is 10p EST i.e. the time that I go to bed every night to be up in the morning for work.
I'll try to be around Wednesdays & Thursdays between 5p - 7p PST (8p - 10p EST) if anybody wants to play some games though I recognize that with the time difference, it may not work out.

Bishop, when are you getting your 360 back? Rejoin us!
Shoryuken just posted all the grand finals matches from EVO 2012. Soul Calibur V in particular is worth watching, because that is the best Tira player I have ever seen.
I have it but it's packed up. I'm moving this weekend.
Pumped for P4 next month. Hopefully, people are on playing regularly for awhile.
