How does the XGC work then?

Ramza

Ok, so I'll be up this saturday for a few hours. I just want to know like in terms of price how much is it? And is it deposit or what? I checked the site but still a little curious. How will I know where all ye lads are at or? Just confused

Just go in to the back and up the stairs.

In regards payment, it's usually €5 a head to play for 4 hours (2pm to 6pm). Just ask someone their who you should give your money to.

Doctor DooM

There's a 20 euro deposit for a machine, but obviously not everyone has to get a machine. I always get one because IM RICH, RICH I TELL YOU!!1!!

(Or I don't really mind putting down 20 squid).

Bring your own controller, there's additional rent for that.

Ok so do I pay at the counter or what? And how will staff know I paid in the midst of playing, like later on if some person asks me?

Oh ****, do like a few people get machines and others just play on them, or does everyone need to put in? Do people mind you playing on theirs etc?

I'm just confused is all. Is there designated areas for each game?

Between fifteen to twenty of us we'll get 4-6 machines. Whoever puts down the €20 deposit gets that back obviously.

Then we divide the total cost by number of people and that's how much you pay.

Is generally about €5 each.

When you get there just go up the stairs at the back and look for the people with sticks. It'll be us.

Doctor DooM

Dude, seriously, just show up. We're a good crew and we'll make sure you're welcome and all that.

Don't play anyone named Terry at Street Fighter though, he cheats.

Don't be alarmed if you see a sea of pink t-shirts and popped collars, it will probably just be the MW2 crowd :pac:

Sound. Nah it's just my friends are a little, ehh, "angry" with me I'm going to Dublin alone to play SF/Tekken instead of getting ****faced. I just feel odd going alone. And I've never been before so just checking and stuff

What time do you get in at? Oh also, for the Tekken tourney on the 28th, it's a tenner in ok, so is that included or is that a seperate price?

I only have so much money so I don't want to come and then not be able to take part or whatever

I know how you feel. I was a little puzzled my first time there too. Just head in the door, you don't have to talk to the guy at the desk. At the back there are stairs that lead up to the consoles. We will be up there.

At the end, everyone gives a fiver or so. Its fairly handy. We usually start at around 1:30 to 2:00 pm and usually end at around 6pm so that people can get their rides home.

XGC in 5 easy steps:

1. Go into XGC
2. Go past the PCs to the stairs up
3. Say hi to us boardsies
4. Give a fiver to whoever's in charge (note: this is randomly decided)
5. Play

I take it you'll be the lads playing SF and Tekken?

Also, will I bring my own copy of SF/Tekken or is there really a need? As far as which console for which game, is it just random? I aint got a PS3 pad so I'd obv. be wanting to play both games on Xbox.

Also, is it ok if I try out a few of you guys' sticks like for one game or so? Like japanese modded ones if anyone has them cause I've never played on Japanese parts in years

K.O.Kiki

Bring whatever games you want (360 mem cards are a good thing too).

And of course you can try our sticks - just ask*.


*also: puppy dog eyes

Wait this Saturday is it T6 or SF, or both?

This will be myself and my friends' first trip to XGC also (or any form of social gaming event) so don't worry, we will be equally confused and intimidated.

Until I start playing Tekken. Then everyone else will be intimidated. Booyea!*

I wont be there this Saturday, I've way to much college work to catch up on... gonna be one of those ****ty weekends:mad:

But yeah just walk right in, at the very end of the room theres a doorway, the stairs is there, you'll generally hear the distinct noise of joysticks clicking away as you walk up those stairs along with some familiar SFIV sound effects. Always puts a smile on my face

Just walk up to the 1st group of lads playing SFIV and say "Hi I'm ramza, that guy who posted on boards.ie saying people who play FPS games are retarded" and everyone'll know who you are.

Hahahahha just winding you up m8 We take the piss a bit, as poor Terry knows.

Its a pity I wont be there since you knew me from 3rd strike (Irish-ken ) I was looking forward to playing you in SFIV but ah well another time.

I'm sure you'll have a good time and some GG's and yes its odd meeting people from internet land in 'real life', something I wasn't used to at all and was admittedly a bit shy about when it came to it 1st. I found myself often repeating conversations with people I had already had with them online and stuff... its just odd cause your meeting people 1st the first time..but its not really the 1st time... if you get me... anyway lol its grand in the end, everyones bang on.

You should deffo come to a tourney when we get one going.

Well, I managed the financial side of things for the first meet (which ended in a mathematical nightmare as for some reason, my brain shut down and kept everyone waiting about 5 or 10 minutes plus difficulties with the guy at the desk )

I'd offer to take up the roll again to manage the money side but I can't guarantee I'll be going as I have an exam next week. It shouldn't be over €5 (only in the case where 2 or 3 show up which is unlikely it'll be more than €5) but on average, its €5 (give or take a Euro)

Ramza

Sounds great, I'll definitely be there!

Yeah I'm super shy/quiet anyway so it'll probably be ten times harder for me! It's gonna be weird meeting ye lads for the first time but I'm sure it will be good craic

I'll probably be afraid to open my mouth! :P

I'd be the tallish lad with shoulder length brown hair anyways
