Q · « **on:** January 21, 2008, 01:08:45 AM »

Hey folks. It's more of a proposition, really. I was just going to record some cool arcade clips and call that George but I was wondering if you peeps would like to be part of a vid featuring local gamers on the whole, Arcade and Console. I've got no problem bringing all footage for your perusal. You'll obviously want the assurance that you'll be part of something good. After putting names to faces at Java, my opinion of console gamers underwent a significant change. I fought Imperial just Saturday night and it was GOOD, I just didn't know him as Imperial.

Even if you guys decide not to, it's cool. At least now I'm better acquainted with the level of skill I've heard so much about. I might even make the complete switch to console gaming. (I NEVER DREAMED I'd even think those words.)

You guys are the real deal after all. I actually have a lot of hope for gaming now. You guys are as genuinely skilled in your arenas as I am in mine. MUCH respect.

BTW, here is the SvC Chaos combo I had with Akuma on my camera (the last half of it anyway). The whole combo is 100% damage. Not bad for a one-trick pony, eh Imperial? lol

It was GREAT coming to Java. I hope to meet the rest of the crew soon.

Peace, strength and respect;
Q.

lol, you bring tears to my eyes Q. It's times like this that we live for.

The very reason for which the org was created.

Liking the sound of that Q's quest project.

Ferret out all the fighters and make them public enemies. Post them up as "most wanted" everywhere. lol

You cross paths with Akuma, Mengsk and Shepperd yet?

lol @ mengsk

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #3 on:** January 21, 2008, 09:32:35 AM »

lol @ rb.

Q, you willing to try taking on some of the top men in Tekken as well for this tour?

Q · « **Reply #4 on:** January 21, 2008, 10:52:30 AM »

I'm not really a Tekken fan or fighter but I've no problem recording the best for this flick. I give where it's due whether I like/dislike the game or even the player. Once it's on fire, BLAZE IT and I'll record it!!!

I've even got a Trini gamer in Sweden on my contact list for YouTube and he's PSYCHED about it.

Even if you guys got footage you want to use, bring it. I FUH DAT!!!

I don't think I met any of those names yet, NGW but hey... We've got time. lol

U cud start next sat at playmax for some mvc2 footage.

Q · « **Reply #7 on:** January 21, 2008, 02:31:19 PM »

Where's Playmax? Are the fighters extraordinary? We need top notch footage if we want to make this worthy of the global stage. I'll be at work on Saturday but if it's in POS, I could pass by during my lunch hour. Anywhere east of POS will be out for me but someone else could do it perhaps... Once the recording is usable, it shouldn't be a problem.

whiplash · « **Reply #8 on:** January 21, 2008, 02:42:00 PM »

Me and Roopie are doing battle with neo and maybe Rb which is in chaguanas.I guess u cant make it then.

lol @ mengsk

Heh. I remember how blue mad he used to get me in MvC1. Endless talks for so.

Now?
Heh, heh......LICKS FOR HE!!

Speaking of which, I'm looking to create some footage, also.
Sadly, the capture device for my PC scrambles the damn feed, and I can't get access to the VCR in the back (it's connected to a whole lot of equipment, and, needless to say, getting it out of there is definitely out of the question.)

Does anybody have any ideas?

EDIT: Hey, whiplash....you're still up for this Saturday, right?

Q · « **Reply #10 on:** January 21, 2008, 04:28:56 PM »

I was at Java Sunday gone and there were at least 3 GATT members with DigiCams. Worry not, NEO. The technology is there. I'm sure somebody will have a DigiCam. If ppl really want to do something, means and ways will avail themselves. All you need is the will to persevere.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #11 on:** January 21, 2008, 06:26:42 PM »

Yeah, we got our own DigiCam for the cause since the formation of the last tournament team.

A Canon S2IS 5mp 12x optical zoom with image stabilization.

It does some mean video recordings with decent audio. 640x480 @ 30fps

Has served us well in the past and should do fine for some Q's quest footage.

Neo, it's dead easy to drop the videos straight from the camera to any windows xp / vista pc using a standard usb mini cable (provided)

It is available any time you like.

perseverance iwmc

New Era Outlaw · « **Reply #12 on:** January 21, 2008, 07:39:27 PM »

Can it record directly from a TV feed?
I seriously don't want to resort to having this filmed over somebody's shoulder. That would suck.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #13 on:** January 21, 2008, 09:11:24 PM »

No sir it cannot, this is more for quick recording on a dime.

worked a treat when last used but your mileage may vary.

Q · « **Reply #14 on:** January 21, 2008, 10:58:59 PM »

Actually, depending on the zoom and res of the cam, recording over-the-shoulder isn't as crappy as it sounds. That's how I made my arcade vids. Someone I trust records the match while I execute the technique and voila - Instant preservation of skills.

BTW... At the risk of apparent ineptitude, I have to ask - What's "iwmc"?

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #15 on:** January 21, 2008, 11:05:47 PM »

my sentiments exactly re: use of camera

as for the abbreviation:

iwmc = in we mudders cupboard/cornhusk/confetti/<insert word of your choice here>

common variations: iymc, idmc, immc, wtmc, de mc, mcmcmc

Q · « **Reply #16 on:** January 22, 2008, 12:13:49 AM »

lol Thank you VERY much.

Ultima · « **Reply #17 on:** January 24, 2008, 06:07:15 PM »

Not that I particularly care, since it's SvC and all, but how can you claim that Akuma MAX combo is 100% damage when all you see it doing is 70%? If you're going to claim something is 100% damage, then you need to show it doing 100% damage.

Imperial_X · « **Reply #18 on:** January 25, 2008, 12:49:35 AM »

Now getting a little look at the thread here.

LOL x forty-twelve @ mengsk

Akuma is unavailable and I hear Sheppard is beasting on Tekken DR.

I'd have no problem submitting anything I've done toward the project but I think you (Q) miss the essence of certain things I tried to make you aware of.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #19 on:** January 25, 2008, 07:38:38 AM »

speaking of Tekken DR.

Q, you need to add Graeme to that list. He's another GATT champion player. Mean in Tekken and meaner in Soul Calibur.
