Man,I gotta say,this was one heck of a get-together. There were plenty of food,drink,snack,and most importantly,fun,for everyone to enjoy.

The food and refreshments were on hit! Nothing beats Popeye's and Mountain Dew..

Master Giby,Droid,Spark,Sonofx 51,Naoe,RedFox and Solid Snake II were all kicking ass and taking names! No joke! But as they say,competition is always good,even when you're getting the crap beat out of ya

Josh,we didn't even get a chance to go at it this time! My Chun-Li will be ready to face your Dhalsim next time,you have my word

In between gaming,we took sometime off and had some very interesting discussions. Topics ranging from gaming to business,politics,and of course,the daily dosage of tEh drama,filled the room.

I would like to take this time to thank our gracious hosts,Tom (Droid) and his wifey,Sarah,and Sung (Spark),for hosting TEH mother of all SoCal Get-together. You guys rock.

BIG thanks to my man Kyosuke " Teh Wheelman" 75and FAKK "Teh Riding Hero" 2 for the lift. Your efforts were very well-appreciated,thank you.

Special thanks to ResOGlas,Droid,Fukattie,and NEOryu for the prize contribution and giveaway items.

Lastly,thanks to all SoCal meet-up attendees, it was a pleasure meeting all of you.

This is how the West Coast rocks! We definitely gotta do this again,soon!

Out,

B.I.G

hey, you forgot cracker and i T__T we were kicking ass as well, its all good though ^__^ it was great to see you again, man! next time yer chun li will face more of the almighty power of my terry ^__^

Thanks again to all of you guys that came. It was definitely an honor for me and Sara to host such an awesome Neo Hookup

I'd like to give additional thanks to:

My mom - for allowing me to discombobulate her house to host this event.

Sara - for being the great person she is and helping make this entire event one to be remembered for a long time. Behind every great party is a great woman, heh.

NEOryu - for picking up the Popeye's chicken order and helping us big time cleaning up and moving stuff back where it belonged. Thanks Bro!

Fukatte - for generously donating not 1, not 2....but (5) T-shirts for the random prize giveaway.

ResoGlas - for generously donating a SamSho4 mvs cart for the Riding Hero Tourney as well as an extra SamSho4 mvs to the host, me

*sniff* kinda get choked up about it, heh

Justin - for being a great sport in being selected as SoCal's crappiest Neo Geo player

Spark - for jumping on a grenade for the boys to help make this entire shindig possible. Sorry for inadvertently mentioning the TV purchase to the T-monster bro, didn't know it was classified info

Kyosuke75, SolidsnakeII, Fakk2 - for going out of their way to make sure MasterGiby, CrackerMessiah and BIGPsyche could make it :buttrock:

MasterGiby and Kyosuke - for taking quality pix for us to remember what transpired :loco:

Temjin3000 - for having such a great time, I knew this hookup was totally worth it. I cannot recall seeing him without a smile on his face the entire hookup, even when his arcade stick was in dire need of repair. That attitude totally kicks ass in my book, and can be said of everyone that was in attendance last night :buttrock:

Mom of Temjin3000 - for caring enuf to drive her son 200 miles to meet a bunch of Neo "handles" and keeping Sara company, allowing me to focus on keeping the meet progressing smoothly and putting out fires wherever they popped up. We should all be so lucky to have a cool mom like that. :cool:

BIGPsyche, Kyosuke75, Fakk2, Resoglas, Mookiestains, Spark, Sonofx51 - for bringing additional gear that helped make this the mother of all SoCal neo hookups. The Hype was indeed justified :multi_co:

Rockhoward - for providing the biggest laughs of the night by randomly picking his own name :spock:

as the recipient of the final random prize giveaway (T-shirt)

I hope I didnt forget anyone. Everyone was great and I had a terrific time seeing you guys happy with what I had planned for ya. It just motivates me to help try and top it the next time we call for a hookup. I'd certainly like to try but as ya guys saw yesterday I gotta an incoming baby in July so we'll see. Either way, as host or attendee, I'll do my best to be there next time.
Best of all, in addition to everyone having a good time it sounds as though everyone got home safe and sound.

We also had one connected with S-Vid, it was Sonofx51's if I remember correctly.

Seeing the pictures, I bet that this neo meeting was full of fun. My only worrying concern would have been: fried chicken+neo meeting=greasy carts and sticks.

We all washed our hands before getting near the games and the sticks, the whole time I was there I never once touched a greasy stick.

SolidSnakeII · Apr 5, 2004

I want to take this oportunity to thank Tom (Droid) for a awesome get together this was way worth calling in sick to my job. I expected it to be good, but this way exceded my expectations not only because of the great sellection and amount of systems/monitors 7 or 8 if I recall, but the great turnout of people that attended of this forum. Wich by the way great bunch.
Im very glad to be a part of this :buttrock:

Had such a great time that I seriously could not sleep that night from the excitment still recovering :loco:

Again thank you Tom great host. This has to happen again.
Also thanks for posting the pictures....If yo could add some more please.
And last just mention that there was some good gaming competition. GREAT TIME.

LOL, i wasnt exactly saying that it should be MY name, but cuz my birthday IS July 20th, that a child born on that day will be as good-natured and gentleman-like as me, PROVEN FACT, NOT THEORY!!! ^__^ at least acorrding to me =P but its a great thing nonetheless, so obviously it should be a name like Josh or John or Joseph or anything....maybe even Jotaro LOL

SolidSnakeII · Apr 5, 2004

ResOGlas

Droid, I took down pic 237, one of the people in the pic didn't want that one on the site.

Something I was wondering, who did the best in each game? I know Droid raped everyone in SamSho1, I was playing MOTW and looked over at the bigscreen to see him with with a perfect or only 10-20% of life taken out.

ok removed the link to pic 237, sorry about that bro

I've heard of you at the meet-up. You want none of me, sucka. The North can't touch the South. Like someone said, unlike the Civil War, the south will beat the north

Um...well I don't know about that....

Uh...Samurai Shodown 1 didn't really happen that way, as I seem to remember it. I seem to recall Lord Wan Fu cleaving and immolating more than a few Gen-An and Haohmaru asses in a row. I even seem to recall hearing the phrase "...and the reign of Lord Wan Fu comes to an end." at least twice. I may have this wacky type of amnesia or something...but I think at least CrackerMessiah and Tom's friend can back me up on this one. Hell, CrackerMessiah's Galford (in SamSho2, as I recall) was some of the best comprehensive skill I had the honor of challenging while I was there. Big ups, CrackerMessiah! I can't wait to play you again!

Tom's friend had a pretty damned surgical Haohmaru, and the matches I had with B.I.GPsyche on SS1 at the very end were awesome. B.I.GPsyche's Haohmaru had all the technical prowess of Tom's friend, but added more comprehensive knowledge of when to use kicks versus slashes and how to get one's opponent to open up for the damage that Haohmaru is capable of dealing. Oh, and I think Tom's friend can attest to the horror of the Sieger, Wan Fu and Jubei I wielded in SS2. To the credit of Tom and his friend, though, they admittedly were quite new to SS2, having spent the bulk of their time on SS1. At any skill level, though, Wan Fu and Sieger are undeniable and I seriously have to wonder why the hell Sieger and Wan Fu were ranked 8th and 11th respectively (out of 15) by Gamest. Oh well....

And then there was Last Blade 2. I guess no one plays that game? Only ONE person played either me or Red Fox on LB2. What happened there? I mean, fine, I can see how you'd be a little terrified after having witnessed Shigen crumple and mangle Akari's tiny frame match after match. But Akari (Red Fox) DID win several times. At that point, you can't tell me you wouldn't look at Akari and go "Huh...I can beat that little girl no problem." PLEASE tell me that someone will play LB1/LB2 next time? We travelled all the way to Atlanta for Neo Shodown '98 due to rumors of absurdly skilled Zantetsu and Washizuka players and were sorely disappointed. Come on, guys! Surely the West Coast can provide some better LB1/LB2 players?!! And yes, I am intentionally attempting to goad people into playing LB2 in order to beat my ass next time. =)

Was anyone playing KOF2K2? I damn sure would have loved to get some time in with Ramon. VIVA MEXICO!

In any event, hopefully next time there will be more competition on SS1, SS2, SS3 (pleeez!), LB1, LB2, KOF '98, KOF 2K2, and maybe even Martial Masters, SS64, and SS:Warrior's Rage? (Between scanning over a FAQ for Martial Masters and having my ass wiped by Jose/SonoFX51, I noticed that while the character names are rather uninspired, the gameplay is quite promising.) Come on, people, stop wasting money on those filthy "classic" inserts and go buy a PGM and a Hyper Neo! LOL! =)
