My company is a 'sponsor' for this SGDQ. I'm in charge of one of the groups bringing arcade games to the event.

The guys in charge of World9 have told me that this event is super chill; which I'm looking forward too.

So incredibly accurate.

I'm glad I'm not wearing tan cargo shorts today.

Run was pretty cool to watch in person.

I had to go resume my perch in the arcade.

More of these runs need to only take a half hour. Too many long runs.

I believe this is the first time they've tried to set up 4 arcade boards at once.

Four arcade boards, eight player headsets, single commentator. Tech crew is in a frenzy right now and the house is pretty packed.

It's more that there's only one A/V mix setup.

Also, two superguns are hooked up to CRT's and two are hooked up to LCD's. Eihoppe, mxkai3, party man, and I think Jbroms are on the lcds.

You could have run a Top 8 tournament by now, which also would have been a lot more fun to watch. I can barely comprehend a 1v1 race , let alone a 8 way one.

You should have seen the poo poo they were pulling off in the public practice room yesterday. Kevin had a stupid fast GM in tgm1.

Yeah, The New Tetris soundtrack would have been the pro choice.

You think this poo poo is boring on stream? Try being in the room.

From experience playing their setups over the last couple days, it's stupidly hard just getting to S1.

these lengthy tetris setups are killing me

Yeah, furniture rearranging shouldn't take this long. Just swap the TGM3 board for the TGM1 board and worry about the couch for LttP.

I actually convinced the TGM crew that it'd be chill as gently caress to let people try TGM3 for a bit after their runs. Kevin thought the idea was awesome, so this happened:


Turns out TGM3 makes randoms cry from difficulty.

i hope u watched all 185 miuntes of setup between the 5 minutes of tetris

Yeah, tech staff had no goddamn clue what the gently caress was going on. First they couldn't get sound out of the TGM1 boards, then they couldn't get video out of TGM3.

Plan for next gdq arcade block is to have a PC block beforehand and use that whole time to gently caress with the superguns and poo poo.
