^ who are u?

I assume Alex (Luigi/Marth) is the FAR/PAR guy from east coast (sorry if I'm wrong) and the Falco player ... no idea

 

[Battlecow]

Yo, I want to play this "really great" N64 man.

 

[Devil Ray]

hey, know your history kids. we ****ing made this thread. you kids don't know jack

 

[Han Solo]

I'm a Junior in CS. I just got into Melee and 64 seriously the past year, so I'm not amazing.

Yeah, the Luigi player is from Massachusetts. I don't know where the Falco player is from. The Luigi player handily beat the Falco player who handily beat me. So, I was handily handily beaten by the Luigi player.

Also, the N64 player was the best player I've ever played in 64, but I haven't exactly played any major players and we only played a set of 3 1v1. He friended me on facebook, and I'll probably play him again sometime soon.

The Falco is Woodles who posted on this thread once I believe, I think he hasn't been much into Melee these days though. Anyway, is anyone up for Smash this weekend?

Depending on how much work I get done today, I may be available tonight

 

[bertbusdriver]

i have gf and ECE johns this weekend, otherwise I'd be at SCSYN anyway.

 

[Battlecow]

I can play tonight

If we get a place, though, 'cause Kevin's out.

And Han, if this guy's interested I'd like to play some 64 sometime.

PSICaramel, how about that PAR lounge setup? Someone just needs to bring a Melee disc and memory card

 

[PSICaramel]

Can't tonight, I was actually planning more for tomorrow night, sorry

I probably can't this weekend. We'll probably have to do this after Thanksgiving break or sometime next week before break. I'll send him a message on Facebook.

Matt and I shot the breeze over dinner this evening. I shared with him the secrets of my 12.5% interview success rate. The secret is to get 8 interviews so you get lucky eventually.
Good luck tomorrow, Matt!

 

[Dekuschrub]

GO GETTEMMATTIMOUSSSSS

gogogogo

 

[bertbusdriver]

let's not have SMYM the day after unofficial this year.... durand let's try and get that **** sorted out before break

 

[SuperMatt]

andy i told them that we hosted monthly tournaments together in conjunction with the RSO just in case they ask you hahaa

i talked to lindsey, keith, juan, and matt

dinner was excellent and hopefully ill be seeing you more often in the future

 

[AOB]

So how did it go...?

 

[Han Solo]

Battlecow, the kid and I are playing after break some time. I'll you a private message with more details.

 

[SuperMatt]

pretty good i think, but you never know

the first 2 sounded like they wanted to hire me just based on all my exams, which i didnt mind

the 2nd 2 i did really good and felt like i connected with them which was my only goal so i was happy

 

[AOB]

You shouldn't have to wait too long. My first interview was on Nov 19 and I got my bad news Dec 2.

 

[SuperMatt]

what mode of contact did they use for

A) your rejection
B) your acceptance

phone/email/mail?

 

[AOB]

Rejections were always emails, and usually generic at that. The acceptance was a phone call.

 

[slomo431]

I still get rejection emails from companies i applied to in like july

 

[AOB]

Actually, in addition to my generic rejection email from Humana, I also received a personal rejection email. So you may have that to look forward to.

And I think I got a snail mail rejection letter from a Swiss Re internship interview way back.

 

[Battlecow]

Yo, anybody sticking around over thanksgiving? Can we get some melee on?

 

[bertbusdriver]

jack and i are gone for the break, not sure who might be around.

 

[SuperMatt]

well im thinking i didnt get a job

some of the people i interviewed with said they got offers last friday

so Humana wants to be nice and wait until after thanksgiving to let everyone else down is what im thinking now

 

[Dekuschrub]

lameeeeeee

 

[AOB]

How's the planning for SMYM going? I probably have a course to attend Feb 10, so let's not have it that weekend.

Matt, that stinks. You would have loved hanging out with all zero of my friends.

 

[PseudoTurtle]

Hello, I'm new here and looking for some fellow smashers to practice with. I'm a ganon main and would consider myself a pretty advanced player (know how to wavedash, l-cancel, etc.) and my room in van doren is always free for smash... any takers?

 

[Master Ppv]

Anyone down for some Smash this Friday / weekend?

 

[Battlecow]

Me!

And hey there turtle

Han Solo AKA whatever your real name was I forget when do we play 64?

I hunger for fresh meat.

 

[bertbusdriver]

this weekend is terrible for me, but maybe I can make some time

ganon's my favorite character to style on <3

SMYM plans have yet to be made. I'll try to schedule my stuff around you AOB.

 

[sirlaser]

This week is basically terrible for me as well...what's up PseudoTurtle?
Perhaps smashing is less important than finals?

 

[Dew Rag]

how much was it to rent out a place the previous years? I only remember the deposit which shouldn't be a problem.

days available for smym feb 11, 18, 25 and march 10, 24. The 2nd and 1st floor are available. the 2nd floor is a bit pricer. give me your thoughts and answers pl0x

 

[AOB]

The 2nd floor was nice. Do that.

March is probably better than Feb, I think? Less chance of snow.

 

[Han Solo]

Me!

And hey there turtle

Han Solo AKA whatever your real name was I forget when do we play 64?

How does Thursday night or Friday afternoon sound?

Also, I bought a capture card so we can record matches if you want.

 

[SuperMatt]

i think it was a 200 dollar deposit which you get back afterwards if you dont trash the place

they may have changed their policy by now though

 

[PseudoTurtle]

Friday would be perfect Han. Although I could probably do Thursday as well haha. Time and place?

 

[bertbusdriver]

so far there only looks like there's a cincinnati charity tournament feb 11. The rest of the days don't conflict with any midwest tournies to my knowledge.

i'm inclined to say feb 18 or 25, just because there might be less school johns since it's earlier in the semester. ionno though. Let's go with the second floor if it's nicer.

 

[sirlaser]

Don't forget that spring break is from Mar. 17 to 25 this year.
