Don't get the wrong impression Platypus, I have no room to judge your abilities. I am sure your a legit player and you'll show me what's up at HOBO32, it's just last time I didn't do so well in teams when I teamed with someone I never played with.

...still....

This outta be fun. I haven't been in Houston since the last ozzfest (which I should of did singles but I wasn't feeling it).
Haha, I didn't think you were. Just trying to reassure you (and myself lol) of my abilities. Hopefully, we'll do pretty good. :-) I'm excited, bro.

Oijh, I'll still mm you. I'm gonna do it anyway, Star Wolf

Oh noes, I hope the new location isn't far away. D:

MMs anyone?

Ozz I won't see Tesh before the tourney. If I don't go, I might be able to swing by your place to drop it off though.

Alright, so here's the deal. I'm considering bringing a full set up, but the only TV I have is a 1080 p HDTV. I've never noticed any sort of lag on it, so if it's there it's very miniscule. I play on it all the time, and so far I haven't noticed it hindering my abilities at all (trust me, I was very worried the first time I tried playing on it that it would suck for Brawl.) so would you still want me to bring that, Xyro?

Illmatic you know I can drive you. If KB is housing with you I can drive him as well.

lol Tesh. You and these comments. If you don't want me to drive you anywhere, then I certainly don't mind.

And sure Denti.

Even the tiniest of lag is noticeable, but that might be just me or certain players. =/

Venue change

VENUE CHANGE! PLEASE READ!!!

*this is xyro on smoom's account*






A few days ago, Sync sent me a text that simply said "i lost the venue for HOBO 32, im dumb bro." So i text him back to get more details and he tells me that the U of H venue owner literally decided that someone else will get the room at U of H and not us(apparently, showing ****** amputee porn was more important than letting us play smash). This means i (the LEGENDARY xyro) had 9-10 days to find a new venue. I called Funplex, they say NO. Ah whatever! I call Planet Zero, they say NO. Fine, i hated them anyway! I called The Drink Station, they said NO. I suddenly felt a bit of poop drip down my leg.....will i have to cancel HOBO......What do i do? Plan ABCD all failed!!!!! I didnt want to have to do this but i decided to pull out the big guns, i decided to call THE KING PIN: DE ANGELO! The moment he picked up the phone and i told him my problem he was like "sup dawg dis ya boi DA an eye roll inn da hay all day, BayBay!" I quickly got on google to translate this highly advanced foreign language and the results were STUNNING! De Angelo pretty much said(rough translation) "Ill call PLAY N TRADE and see if you can run an event there." So pretty much im moving HOBO 32 to PLAY N TRADE, its the one off of HW6 aka sorta next to funplex area.

MAKE SURE YOU READ THE FIRST POST FOR NEW DETAILS ABOUT HOBO 32! LOTS of THINGS have CHANGED!!!!








The GOOD




There will be loads of FREE parking in front of PnT and behind PnT. Panda Express is to the right of PnT, Wendys is to the left of PnT and Mc Ds is across the street from PnT. This means there is plenty of food and AC(why is AC so important? read below) near by. I will auto have 10 tvs(good ones not the LCD/HD/LED ones) so if you guys could bring just wii's i would love you forever.





The BAD






PnT is like Gamestop/EB/GameCrazy which means it will be VERY small and packed due to the fact i think about 60(it could be less) players will be at this HOBO. This brings up another issue, the weather. Have a look at Saturdays expected temp in Houston Tx http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/three/ktrk/WWW_KTRK_5DAY_450x296.JPG Now combine THAT with the natural heat we all will produce.....ITS GONNA BE TASTY!!! On top of all that, We have only a LIMITED amount of chairs so ONLY the players PLAYING a TOURNAMENT MATCH will be able to sit in the chairs. Oh and if this wasnt already AMAZING i just found out how to make it EVEN BETTER..... according to PnT we MUST be out of the venue by 9pm.

PS: for the sake of time, there will be NO friendlies ONCE the tournament has started. So please get here EARLY to warm up and report your matches ASAP so we can have time for MMs/Friendlies/Side Event.




The LEGEND



You guys are lucky because ive been through far worse situations(hobo 19/quakecon) so this "problem" we face is a PIECE of CAKE for me and i could most likely do it while taking a poopsies. But seriously, since this is my last HOBO for a while(my daughter will be born in july) i will be 110% focused on getting 1vs1 and 2vs2 done ON TIME and still allow time for MMs or friendlies( i cannot promise that the side event will happen anymore). Sync AND De Angelo have offered to help run this event with me so TRUST me when i say that this event WILL work out fine and you WILL have fun. You have my word!

Sure thing, Ill. Anyone else?

I'm glad the venue is nearby. That was my biggest concern, to be honest. Good to hear about the TVs, too. I like small venues so long as there's still a bunch of setups around. Great job being on top of things as usual, Xyro.

YEAAAAAAAAAA PANDA EXPRESSSSSSSSS

out by 9? can we do that?

Mid tier doubles is way more hype, just cancel regular doubles for that, no one cares about that junk.

So how early can we show up to this now?
