This has been the first VM of 2020, probably.

This has been your quadannual Visitor Message.

Don't spend it all in one place.

Oh, and the reunion is this coming Saturday, if you're not busy.

If it interests you, I received notification of an oncoming Closed Beta for a 'Ghost In The Shell' MMO today.

It appears to be FPS themed. Here's a link, in case I don't log on here again for a while.

Game.

I wish the tournament had been a little earlier. I could tell N kind of wanted to leave and I had no idea how long the tournament would last. I was exhausted after a whole day of basically no food and I just felt gross after eating that greasy hamburger.

They were a few people who kind of looked like they knew what they were doing in the Free for All. I think the reason we are so good is that we can practice on each other. A lot of people I saw were using tactics that would work on a computer, but not a human.

I think all at once, though that DVD suggests people were still pilfering.

It's too bad, really; I think you would have enjoyed playing this Yoshi user we fought in the Finals. He actually managed to stave off me and P.S. for a minute or so on his last stock, I think his biggest problem was a lack of a competent teammate, even if that teammate was Space Dandy. He was pretty much a one man team.

That sucks. Was it stolen all at once, or did people just sneak a few things here and there?

He told me about the missing DVD. We had a good laugh over it.

Yeah, but apparently his DVD only had the Extras disc in it.

Relatedly, and in response to your question, it seems they had something like $10k of equipment stolen this summer. I guess they didn't run multiple televisions for a game because they simply didn't have multiple copies of the games, a lot of stuff was loaned for the duration of the convention.

He told me you guys won a bunch of stuff. Why were they so slow?

So, the con yielded a fair amount of swag.

Did P.S. tell you what he found in his, or why they were so slow with the tournies this year?

...Tourneys? Tournies? Bah.
