    I wouldn't mind a just for fun tourney.

    Yeah, it's just getting someone to put their hand up and say "right, lets do it" though. As Placebo brought it up, I nominate him to get the ball rolling on the day :D

    Wouldn't mind a few casuals like your NamRam videos, where it's swap every two or three matches.

    The way it works at the moment basically you play constantly until someone needs a break before anyone else can hop on. Which is ok, but I liken it to kicking a ball around in a circle, or playing a casual game of footy with goals. When there's goals it's always better.

    How about we pick a comp, set up the camera for that, and people play other matches but come when called for the tournament to that machine. So we have loads of Casuals and one recorded tourney at the end.

    Yeah, sounds good. Having a camera there will probably actually help make it happen. When money isn't on the table, fame, no matter how small, is a good enough prize :D

    Are you guys playing Tekken 6 on 360s or PS3s? If it's the latter I can't bring my own pad, I sold my PS3 after a month. :pac:

    We're all cool with sharing if the T6 crowd decide PS. Fighting game crowd are extra ordinarily friendly in that sense.

    And others. AyJay won't stop touching me.

    Twiler, the lads usually have their own fight sticks (most of them anyway) and there's a few PS3 players that go along as well. If it's just the standard PS3 pad you're on about then XGC have them there.

    The footage of NamRam (awesome by the way) made me the 80'th biggest Irish youtube contributor.

    I am hungry for a further e-penis extension, so it's no problem.

    Also, I will put my big shouty voice on to make sure people play.

    Contact Capcom about it, they may ask you to send it to them. Same happened to me with my Call of Duty2 disc a few years back for the Xbox 360. Activision got me to sent it to them and they sent me a new one back. :) Better then spending money on another copy so worth a try.


    Capcom wont do that im on my 2nd SFIV disc and I sent them an e-mail and tried ringin em didnt work so had to buy a new disc plus actvision are only on parnell street so you where bound to get a new COD2 :P

    should we have a competition, no money/stats/seeding, just for fun?
    sometimes casuals lose their way and you just end up playing endless matches-no fun.

    I'd be up for this as its been a while since I was in a lil competition :) and with having a camera there will add to the fun, maybe people trying to show off too lol ;)

    WTF IS WITH THE GIANT PICS?

    Awwwww Chopper aint coming :( I was hoping to steal your converter :pac: I don't suppose anyone else has a PS1/2 to 360 converter they can lend me on the day? :P It'll be my luck as always I'll be drawn against 360 pad players who can't use a PS3 pad. :(

    On the bright side I put 200 smackers onto a CC all for online shopping so I'll finally be ordering a stick tomorrow along with converters and so forth. :D
