How many "e-mpirial" members have you met in person?

[frosty]

I think I might hold the record now... let's see:

goku
d3adcell
lucent
dakota grabowski
bing147
hylian advocate
r33hash
derrick berra
lalilulelo
woundingchaney
jasonxe
creativewriter
tokoshi_x
coded_dude
wickedrabbit
liquid eagle

[Coded-Dude]

lets see......after meeting you, that takes me to.....one.

[TrueVCU]

Just Lali.

[goku2057]

I love how I was listed first.


<3

[masteratt]

My record stands at a big fat zero.
If I'm going to meet anyone, realistically, it's most likely to be boneyking, or more likely, Kiwi.

Other alternative is taking my pants off, putting on some baby oil and going to Canada for some time with curryking :heybaby:

[D3adcell]

Goku
R33hash
Lucent Beam
Frosty
Derrick Barra
Bing147
Hylian Advocate
Dakota Grabowski breifly at that e3.
Carlos briefly at e3.

[Kiwi]

I met two PS3i members at a games show like four years ago, but I guess they don't count, because it was pre-E-mpire.

[Greg]

Technically one but I was friends with him long before e-mpire existed, we went to school together, but he is an e-mpire member so it counts.

[[[tavis]]]

ZERO. Lame I know. - Wait, who am I?

[Lucent Beam]

In as good of an order as I can remember:

bing147
goku
r33hash
frosty
hylian advocate
derrick barra
d3adcell
skull kid
onbake
teh roxor
bryan

I think that's it..
Out of people I've met through E-mpire, I ended up becoming really good friends with D3adcell [obviously], Hylian Advocate, and Skull Kid.


And although they are not regulars, they are people who I know from outside of the forums that have come to E-mpire at some point.

-Skywalker84 [Noah's cousin]
-THE HAWK!! [Todd's cousin]
-BananaBabeQT [my sister]
-Emiwee [my best friend]

[Otacon305]

None, and I probably never will.

[HPK]

I have only met one person from the community, but that's only because all of the accounts were transferred over after the old message boards were assimilated into E-mpire. She went by the alias of "Coren." Met her a long time ago.

Haven't gotten around to meeting any of the regulars around now, though. I would like to, but it isn't really an option for me right now.

[BlazeKat]

Bryan, but who hasnt met that whore.

You met her............... you aren't jushiko though right and i thought they were in the same area?

[HPK]

You met her............... you aren't jushiko though right and i thought they were in the same area?

Haha, no, I'm not Jushiko. We aren't the same person. They do live in the same area, from what I last remember. I'm pretty sure they were dating each other back in the day.

I actually met her before we started talking to each other online. Most schools had the 8th grade field trip to Washington D.C. I guess her school and my school (along with a bunch of others) we staying at the same hotel. We hung out for a bit one night and we ran into each other while meandering D.C. A couple of years after that we started talking through Gamerzgoop and AIM.
It was kind of a funny revelation at the time.

[D3adcell]

That is pretty funny. Then did you get her to sign up here or did she just sign up and you happened to post there too?

[HPK]

Actually, we both just registered on our own accord on almost the same day. I think Jushiko convinced her to post at Gamerzgoop. I did it because I was bored (fun fact, I found the link through Alias' profile at another old forum). I don't remember how we started talking. May have been something to do with Jushiko and I working on sprite comics for Gamerzgoop. It's been a while.

[GTAce]

GTAce

[Zac]

none

[Paz]

None, and I probably never will.

[Bryan]

Bryan, but who hasnt met that whore.

Yes, with 52% more drama.

I've also met Skull Kid, the dude, Lucent Beam, THE HAWK!!!, Teh_Roxor!, whatever the fuck Matt from Ohio goes by, and a bunch of fucks from this Pokemon forum that Skull Kid goes to.

AND, I've met Daniel's mom.

[goku2057]

Who here hasn't met my mother, though?

[Bryan]

A fair amount of these freakshows have penises.

That's really all I need to say.

[Carlos]

Carlos briefly at e3.
Bullshit. How come you didn't say hi!?!?

....Fucking bitch. -_-

Anyhow, I've met quite the few...

XboxEvolved (John Olin) at E3 a few times.
Dakota Grabowski at E3 once.

Some of you have said you've met me, but only have seen me - including you, Goku.

Fucking scared ass little bitch, yeah, I'm talking about you, Goku!

*points finger at goku* scared little wuss.

I also met that fat dude in one of the E3 videos that frosty posted - not sure what username he has, tho.

Anyway, I've met a lot of the AMN guys including the owner himself. What a fucking cocky son of a bitch. Fucking cockface. He's a nice guy in real life, yet online he's one of the biggest assholes I've ever met.

That'll be all.

[Gummy]

Mmm Coren... I miss that girl. :P

I just talked to her on msnlive like... many months ago.
I remember she visited this forum and posted and I think that's when she messaged me.


Anyways, I haven't met any of you guys, but I want to.

[D3adcell]

We all saw you at the E3 media party the night before e3 where they had like 2 open bars and a ton of food. Then me and goku saw you in the press room getting mad when all the computers were taken.

Anyways, I haven't met any of you guys, but I want to.

I'd like to meat you too gummy ;).

[Gummy]

Then me and goku saw you in the press room getting mad when all the computers were taken.

that made lol

[Carlos]

Then me and goku saw you in the press room getting mad when all the computers were taken.
I wasn't mad, whoever fucktard ran to that last computer, took it like he wanted to take it away from me.

I wanted to kick that person's ass right then and there, but me being the professional one, I let it go and go on....I'm asking myself "What did I do to you to deserve this?" and then "WTF!? You really need a fucking computer you fucking shit!? Fine, take the fucking computer you fucking retard."

I wasn't mad, I was confused. When I make that face - I'm confused. And I scratched my head at the same time, I never understood why someone would want to do that to me; until fucking goku started bragging about it.

[Mary]

None, but if anyone is ever in Georgia let me know.

[Hisham]

Realistically, I probably only have a chance of meeting Curryking1. I was all set to meet JCIG from Nnow because he used to live in Mississauga, but I was like 15 back then, and was sorta freaked out in meeting a dude from the Internet.

Anyways, after I graduate, and get a stable job, maybe I'll travel to the states to meet a couple of you guys.

[D3adcell]

Pronounced Jsig. I don't really remember anything about the guy other then his name.

[Paz]

None, but if anyone is ever in Georgia let me know.

I'll be there next summer/fall for Ranger training.

[Carlos]

damn, you're going to the army?

[Mary]

I'll be there next summer/fall for Ranger training.

Awesome. Fort Benning isn't too far from me. If you promise not to rape me or try and offer me money for sex we should totally meet up.

[D3adcell]

Paz not try to rape a woman?

[Carlos]

Well, we don't know him that well, sooo....I dunno.

[Xer0]

No one but if you guys are ever around Chicago I'll say I'll come see you...and probably "forget". Its the thought that counts.

[Pro A.]

None for me. Should be an e-mpire group meet with Chi-town members. Get some real pizza and beers going.

[Xer0]

And hot dogs. Its not Chicago without the hot dogs....and Italian Beef. Yeah, that sounds about right.

[Hisham]

Pronounced Jsig. I don't really remember anything about the guy other then his name.

By JCIG, I mean JakieChanIsGod...

Hmmm...

[nbakyfan15]

None. Fuck you guys.

[Bryan]

Wait, what the fuck? I live like two hours from Chicago. Let's get it rolling.

[Otacon305]

Well I live in the Chi, but I work in Cali, so if that's really gonna go down, sched it when I'm home.

[Bryan]

That's perfect, I just need to know when you're going to be home to actually do that.

[BlazeKat]

No one likes you anymore B. shut up.

[Otacon305]

Probably a couple weeks around Christmas and New Years.

[Bryan]

Fun fact: Nobody liked me to begin with, J.

But I can't alienate other people unless I talk to them first, so you shut up!

Otacon: I imagine your time will be filled with family/real friend stuff, but we can definitely try to figure something out around then.

[goku2057]

None, but if anyone is ever in Georgia let me know.

I live in Georgia!

I go to Atlanta about once a month.



And, damn Carlos. Just because I stole your computer doesn't mean you have to call me out.

[Carlos]

Bryan, these people are telling you to shut the fuck up.

....bitch.

[Bryan]

I'll send you on a six day vacation to talk to the wall and your demons, you silverbacked son of a bitch.

[BlazeKat]

Shut the fuck up Carlos no one asked your opinion and even if they did its so they could laugh at you.

<3B.

[Carlos]

Try me, Demon! :P

And, Kat. Nobody's laughin' at me, so blush.

[D3adcell]

Try me, Demon! :P

And, Kat. Nobody's laughin' at me, so blush.

hahaha

[BlazeKat]

rofl Thank you Noah.

[Carlos]

ah, fuck you noah.

[kaphwan]

There really was a point in my life where I wanted to go to a different continent to meet internet people.

Maybe when I have the money so that the expense is trivial, but jesus.

[Kiwi]

I plan on saving up some cash and travelling across the States, so maybe I'll pass by a few people.

[frosty]

meanwhile i might be touring europe to film a tv show, so likewise.

[Lucent Beam]

frosty, you already listed me in yours so I didn't re-include you. I'll go add you so you don't feel hateful. :P

[Lucent Beam]

Double post!

Wait.. reverse that.

[Xer0]

So...Chicago meet up?

[nbakyfan15]

How do you guys all meet each other? =\ The closest I've ever came to meeting some one was about four years ago when me and another member happened to be at the same Reds game. I forgot about it until later that night that I was suppose to meet up with him. :(

[Otacon305]

Ah. I came out of the Mount Prospect recruiting station. What were you doing there?

[Greg]

I joined the Air Force.

[Lucent Beam]

Mostly E3.
And Indiana hang-outs.
And marriage.

E3 for most of us. I knew 3 of my no longer active list outside E-mpire to begin with.

A mid west meet up worked for some of the others.

[Mary]

How about minor strangulation, and Denny's?
I could live with that. Let me know.

I live in Georgia!

I go to Atlanta about once a month.

Wow, badass! I go to Atlanta once a month too and pass through Chattanooga every so often to see a friend in Nashville and a friend in Oak Ridge. We should grab coffee sometime just so I can say I've officially met someone from the forums. :)

[Travis]

i have not only met JCIG but i regularly hang out with him

but that's it

[nbakyfan15]

Well at the next Mid West or Indiana meet up let me know. As long as I don't have class and its not more then a few hours away I should be able to come. It would be cool to meet some of you guys.

[Xer0]

Des Plaines eh? I live reasonably close (Elmwood Park. Tiny village right by Oak Park)

[Otacon305]

I joined the Air Force.

The chair force? Oh my. You have my simultaneous sympathy and congratulations.

[HPK]

Hell, I can get to Chicago pretty easily. Considering I'm the only Wisconsinite that's active on these forums, you Illinois people need me.

I plan on going to the art museum there on November 5th. Not exactly a great hang-out spot, but if anyone's interested in meeting me there for a bit, I'm down.

[Otacon305]

Not a great hang-out spot my ass. I prefer the museum of science and industry but that place kicks ass too.

[Greg]

The chair force? Oh my. You have my simultaneous sympathy and congratulations.
lol thanks. I was leaning towards the Marines but my sister kind of talked me out of it. Oh well I will be working on jet engines and shit so it will be cool.

Eh, the marine corps affords more prestige (bragging rights) but it's a miserable life.

[Carlos]

In the marines, you gain respect on what you're capable of doing....

But once everyone knows you're a marine, it becomes a nightmare, so that's why its more important to stay low. And by low, I mean, really really low. I know a few marines that have lived a better life by staying low.

On the flipside of the coin, if you fuck up. Its far more miserable. If you pay enough attention to enough marine movies, you'd understand the perspective of those who do fuck up.

Chicago has like a billion interesting muesums to see (okay, more like 8, but still quite a few).

[Otacon305]

The zoos, museums, the aquarium, planetarium, music venues, it's all good. I miss my hometown. Can't wait to get back.

[Rizon]

erm.... does anyone wanna come see me? I'm only over in the UK.

I'll make my way over there to see all you limey blokes soon enough.

I'll try to hit up E3 next time when my brother gets his badge or whatever from his job.
He said I can use it, but I'll be alone hah.

Jax, with all due respect...

....Some movies are meant to teach us realities of the other world. Movies like Black Hawk Down teach that a bond between marines are usually more important than "oh, I care more about myself than some dude I just battled with" Its not like that in the marines.

Another situation shows that if you fuck up and your buddy takes the blame for it, the buddy takes the burden for it, and gets really fucking pissed. Some movies are meant to show PERSPECTIVES of the people in the movies. You don't believe me? Fine, go to Iraq without a buddy, training, or have an understanding what you're up against. Go ahead. I dare you.

....Some games are meant to teach us perspectives of the real world, for example: COD4.

You're in the radius of a flashbang? Dazed. And there's a loud sound to go with it. When soldiers die, and they have enough time to pull out something, they pull a bomb out which is where martyrdom came from. Don't care if its just a game? Fine then, I'd like to see you go to Iraq and win the war without knowing how it feels....and come back in one piece. Yeah.

[Travis]

carlos has become a parody of himself and i believe his account has been hijacked by some clever fellow

Eh, some of the shit in the movies is realistic, or was at the time. The closest thing I've seen to how it really is now is Generation Kill.

Take it from someone who's been to Iraq twice, unless you've only been shot once or twice by an AK or less, you aren't pulling shit out. You get caught in an IED, RPG, grenade(even flashbangs), or mortar blast, you're done. Either dead or at least out of the fight. Same goes for machine gun fire. If anything, you'll be trying to pull out your tourniquet and put it on before you bleed out.

I'm not sure where you're going with this rant, but I fail even more to see why you are daring someone to go to Iraq "without a buddy, training, or have an understand what you're up against." How does that relate at all to the idea that movies are not real life, but instead dramatizations of real life and thus shouldn't be taken the complete truth?

[Unspoken]

Well, if Lucent would ever come and visit IU again, I could meet her.


Hopefully will be heading towards Bryan's area when he decides to get hitched. So I'll be visiting a few of you guys then, too. Jenny, you can have my man on one hand and me on the other. ;)


And I have had four of my friends join the forums, but none of them post anymore, so whatever. Last one to post was probably Gweedo, but I think he changed his name. And my other friend changed his name too much, and I just told him to GTFO.

Why do you want to defend others for? I mean, why are you always trying to talk me down? "I fail to see where you're coming from." And saying how does that relate to what I'm saying. PAY ATTENTION.
Black Hawk Down was about the Army. Rangers and shit.
My point still remains, military war movies show bonding between comrades. You had a buddy that you really like or cared about, and would do anything to save him. Right?

But, yeah, my bad. I had thought marines have a certain clothing, so I assumed most of the guys in there were marines. Again, my bad.
Eh, some of the shit in the movies is realistic, or was at the time. The closest thing I've seen to how it really is now is Generation Kill.
I've seen a lot of the marine movies, more so than the others. I'm trying to remember names, but I do remember Jarhead (sp?), The Marine (Yes, the whole outside-of-the-war movie, not too realistic, but you get the point), my favorite military movie would have to be Enemies behind lines (again, sp?).

But my point is, when you seen ENOUGH military and marine movies, coupled with a realistic game - you put two and two together to create a feeling that you feel like...you know. One situation stands out vividly is where a flashbang renders your hearing deaf if you're too close to a bomb or flashbang.
Take it from someone who's been to Iraq twice, unless you've only been shot once or twice by an AK or less, you aren't pulling shit out. You get caught in an IED, RPG, grenade(even flashbangs), or mortar blast, you're done. Either dead or at least out of the fight. Same goes for machine gun fire. If anything, you'll be trying to pull out your tourniquet and put it on before you bleed out.
I understand you can be blown to pieces, but sometimes, during desparate measures, you would have to throw a bomb, or DROP a bomb. But I do understand what you mean.

You'd have to cover up those wounds to prevent death or bleeding excessively out.

At other times, you'd have to take out a bomb to save others. Or prevent others from converging on a section...At other times, you need to stay on guard by having your gun armed and ready. Otherwise you're dead if you don't.

[Bryan]

Yeah. Anyway, that was hopeless and depressing.

So!

I'm down with Chicago, but I'm not the dude to talk to about Indiana. There are particular house rules and what-not that are covered from our previous experiences with less than savory people who have come to hang out with us. No, none of them were from this place, so stop it!

Contact Skull Kid or THE HAWK!! about potential Indiana meets.

Otherwise, you guys can always come crash at my place. My fiance's cats might try to bite your dick, but other than that you should be okay. You Illinois/midwest/somewhat South but-not-quite folks should definitely start talking. Maybe even include me in some planning and what-not?

[jaxmkii]

couldn't you fly us out in your private jet?

if i start using it for personal trips the IRS will not let me continue to wright it off as a buissness expence... and after the whole off shore account crack down i don't need to give them a excuse to look at my books again. becides it only seats eight after i had the bedroom and bar installed.

[Bryan]

What if you took the jet.. once?

That might not be a big deal.. I mean, how would they know?

I could order something from you, and there could have been a packaging snafu, and the shit didn't get to UPS on time, so you had to pick up some booze and fly it out yourself.

lol if you think COD4 is going to teach you combat skills... lol wow in times of war your already dead....
Agh. You're not getting the point.

Are you guys this fucking stupid!?

[Bryan]

And this is still way off-topic. Cut the chatter, or I cut you.

[Bryan]

Anyway, that was intense.

Okay, so what about you west coast and down south folks? I could be down for a flight someplace and a real vacation for once.

[Carlos]

I see you viewing the thread, Otacon...

Guys, piece of warning. Don't go off-topic.

I just got a warning from Bryan.

[iSDK]

This seems rather off topic...

Bryan good luck on finding a vacation nest... maybe Viper will take you in lol:hurt

[Bryan]

I can afford a hotel, or whatever. I can get together with a bunch of internet freakshows and trash a suite. It'll be great.

We should come up with some ideas of cheap/cool places to go. Cheap more specifically.

[Mary]

Orlando is crazy cheap now. We should have a forum trip to Disney World!

Because they didn't make it to the other side?

Ryan: Do they rent weekly?

[goku2057]

Haha. Atlanta has a few nice places that aren't too expensive. One is right next to a Dave and Buster's. I'd totally go to that shit.

[Bryan]

Lets come up with a plan.

[Spatula]

One day I will meet up with Bryan.

And hopefully Skull Kid, too. And NukeBlaze. And Jon. And Dark Cloud. And his kid.

[Travis]

damnit guys wait until i'm back in the country, i'd totally go down to atlanta or maybe to chicago or something for a meet-up.

[Gummy]

Don't be a buncha nerds where none of you will socialize. :)
Although, I don't think you guys are like that. :carlos:

[Travis]

dude if i was there we would all get crazy drunk and have a totally ballin' time

then we would have lots of group sex and regret it the next day and swear ourselves to secrecy and then some fuck like nayrk would tell everyone and it would all be ruined and our lives would come tumbling down

[Unspoken]

Lets come up with a plan.

Well if you're going anywhere, you should totally swing by to pick me up.

That, or I could meet you somewhere with free parking part of the way. :oneeye:



EDIT: What happened to our smilies? None of them hardly work anymore. :-(

[Gummy]

yeah, what the fuck!

E-mpire America/Europe tour.

[BlazeKat]

Seriously Max. Ive had a week off work, where you been?

[Mary]

So I guess Disney is out. I vote everyone comes to Atlanta. There is shit tons to do here. And there have been some great deals on hotels lately.

[Otacon305]

Work and school, love. Money's tighter than ever with David getting a new aquarium.

So I guess Disney is out. I vote everyone comes to Atlanta. There is shit tons to do here. And there have been some great deals on hotels lately.

I actually have some friends who could possibly get us into Disney for free or either just really really really cheap. I think Disney wanted to build on their land, so they relocated the family and gave them crazy awesome discounts and free tickets for life.

I doubt I could get them to give everyone tickets, but surely we could pool together and divvy up the tickets. Be better than buying all new together?

[BlazeKat]

Work and school, love. Money's tighter than ever with David getting a new aquarium.

Thats bullshit. Im giving you until the week after thanksgiving. kthx <3

[JasonXe]

I started thinking which is a new thing for me...

During E3 there is a lot of club parties like Kotaku and Destructoid party. Even though we can't rent out a bar, we can have a big group E-mpire get together. I think as a incentive we can allow non staff a chance to go inside E3 during the few off hours to play games. A big drunkie fest, guitar play, ps3, and a cramp hotel room = win.

Obviously im not speaking for the staff but i thought it be a cool idea.

[JasonXe]

bumpie doodles ^^

:toot:

yeeeeee

[frosty]

we couldn't get them into e3, as it would put our site in jeopardy as far as us being accepted in if they found out about it. we could eventually rent out a hotel suite to meet up and party in. maybe have each member that is coming chip in a small amount towards it's total cost.

[Coded-Dude]

yeah....it would be easier to do something like that for GDC, as its not press only. However, the site couldn't afford to pay for everyone's admittance/lodging.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

Two. Woundingchaney and Frosty. :)

[Kay B]

I once met viper in a dark alley

Doh. Security is pretty sucky there though since it's only in the front door looking at your badge. But whatever, there was this booth for regular people, do you have to pay for that?

[frosty]

That was an interesting conversation.

Which took place amongst many beers and sharp cries of "fat cheese!", "fat fry!"

[BlazeKat]

And many other things.

I may be going in the exact opposite direction to see the man's family. But I will have to pressure him to take me to visit you. :celebrate:

i've met Cliffbo and Blackdgn :)

[WolfmanNCSU]

To this date, I don't believe I have met any forum dwellers in person (that's a shame). I recall that someone was once attempting to create an E-mpire get together somewhere around the beaches of NC (Wilmington if I am not mistaken). It never shaped into a real event, but it would have been an interesting time. I would certainly have gone down for an afternoon if it actually would of happened.

[goku2057]

I feeel like I've met Wolfy...


As far as actually met...

Viper
Frosty
Lucent (Wanted me more than D3adCell.)
D3adCell (Wanted me more than Lucent)

Frosty's friend, who i don't remember his name but he was a surfer looking motherfucker.
Jordan Riiiiiingo.
r33hash (who I have met MANY times. Coolest guy, ever.)
GeekyGamerChik (I think that was her name)
OutlawAddidas (The Original Dirty Mexican/Fell in love with a stripper guy)


I know that there were others, but I'm not recalling their names at the moment.


EDIT: Oh yeah, I saw Carlos at E3 and ganked his computer. That was fun.

[Carlos]

Fuck you. :susp:

One of these days I shall have my revenge, boy.

Well yeah, but I didn't add anyone I met originally from other forums/already know irl.

[WolfmanNCSU]

I feeel like I've met Wolfy...

True, and I pass through Atlanta frequently (business and in-law related). You should buy me a beer next time I am in town. :cheers:

[Gummy]

dude. where the fuck is r33hash?!
I miss that fellow!

[goku2057]

Lost in a glass cage of emotion.

[Dakota Grabowski]

Dakota Grabowski breifly at that e3.
Carlos briefly at e3.


I don't think we have met. Remind me just in case I'm forgetting. The only people I remember meeting that are still active would be...

R33hash
Frosty
Viper
Carlos
Xbox e...oh wait

I think that is it.

[goku2057]

I met you Dakota!

And that Seth guy who was a tool. And by was, I'm assuming, is.

[Dakota Grabowski]

I met you Dakota!

And that Seth guy who was a tool. And by was, I'm assuming, is.

Oh, right. You were the one that came in and made fun of the stripper lover haha. And yeah, Seth is a tool.

[D3adcell]

I think you were with the guy that stole the psp and briefly met for like a few seconds with a bunch of other people around.

[seahorse]

i thought i saw crow walking around one day when i lived in manchester but i was too afraid to do anything.

[Dakota Grabowski]

I think you were with the guy that stole the psp and briefly met for like a few seconds with a bunch of other people around.

LOL. I read that first as "You are the guy who stole the PSP." That was Seth, but yeah. He was following me around for whatever reason at that party.

[frosty]

Was that the blonde haired dude who was talking to us at the pepcom party?

[goku2057]

Yeah. It was his douchey asss.

[D3adcell]

You know once i saw a picture of xbox evolved I thought he was seth.

[Viper]

You know once i saw a picture of xbox evolved I thought he was seth.

LOL, so did I.

[Bryan]

I also have met Hero Of Time. We live in the same city.

I haven't seen or heard from him since. It may have been the heavy drinking, the tossing of empties off the third story balcony -- or maybe it was the absolutely careless way in which fireworks were applied.

[goku2057]

You could never know, Bryan. You could never know.

[Chris Metal]

errr none yet... not that I know of anyway in the south west of England. I live in the middle of nowhere.

[OmniCloud]

None..I don't leave Jersey often enough...Me and my Wife are too cozy here. I've talked to people though like Lali and Nameless, err...guess that doesn't count though.

If anyone is pretty good at SF, we might eventually end up meeting. I have a passion for fighting games, and plan on going to a few tourney's eventually for fun.

[Carlos]

Seth. Lets just say you guys are lucky you guys weren't in the same hotel room as he was.

He stole not just the PSP. He stole our staff's stuff, including Dakota's 360 faceplate which was limited. He even used the staff's money towards drinking and ended up shitfaced outside sleeping like a coo'ing little baby.

Secondly, he's been tactless to a woman (which you can see in the video john posted a while ago - yes, that blondie).

Lets just say that fucker is lucky that I wasn't the boss of him, because if he was, and he did that in MY team. There wouldn't be another day at E3 for him. I wish the staff or Dakota said something to me about it. But no, John kept everything in the dark until after E3. I'm like, "WTF!? WHY THE FUCK didn't you tell me John!?" Because at the time, I was the one who bought the www.xe360.com domain, and I was the one who was hosting the site. And someone messed with MY server? Fuck Seth.

Next time I see him. I will lay the smacketh down on his candy ass. That's a promise.
You know once i saw a picture of xbox evolved I thought he was seth.
John is blonde. But he's taller and MUCH. And I mean, MUCH bigger than Seth. I'm surprised John hasn't knocked the shit out of Seth. I still don't understand why he hasn't.

And I don't even understand how he let him get away with it during E3.

[Skull Kid]

I wanna get shitfaced with you guys at E3. Sounds like a jolly good time.

[Carlos]

I wanna get shitfaced with you guys at E3. Sounds like a jolly good time.
Good. Just as long as its not the bad kind of "shitface" as described in Seth's situation. That's just embarrassing.

[Bryan]

Todd, we should take the whole midwest contingent out there sometime.

[Viper]

Seth. Lets just say you guys are lucky you guys weren't in the same hotel room as he was.

He was at E3 2005. Well, we had 2 rooms between the whole team and I wasn't having him sleep in mine so he technically didn't sleep in the same room but then again that other room was practically never used for anything but sleep for a few hours anyway.

I don't even recall how he got on staff but after seeing him walking down the hall to talk with the GCA guys I pulled him from staff.

[Carlos]

Oh. Ho. Oh. Ho. Ho. Ho. WTF? He did?

Stupid. I talked to AMN while with XE, but only because I'm trying to be nice and professional about it. But TALKING to the staff at GCA like buddy, buddy? I would have done the same thing. Nice judgement there, Jimmy.

We had a two hotel room setup, too. But only because we had more staff than having one empty...so he slept in the other room, where dakota and his part of the XE staff...We separated our teams in two, as in Team A, and Team B.

I stayed close to John, and his two best friends. The minute I met Seth, I didn't wholeheartdly trust him. I just knew him from GCA, but learning later, I regret being friendly towards him. He used to have one of the coolest sigs on GCA, period...but learning about his dark side, what a fucking douche. He didn't live up to his "status" in my eyes, or others for that matter. Everyone at GCA used to respect him as a member, and always like, "hey, Seth, nice sig!"

[Travis]

i really respect your sig, carlos.

nice sig!

[Skull Kid]

Todd, we should take the whole midwest contingent out there sometime.

Could you imagine all of us going to E3? I could see someone getting in a fight/shot/stabbed/arrested/sodomized/all of the above.

[Carlos]

i really respect your sig, carlos.

nice sig!
Could you imagine all of us going to E3? I could see someone getting in a fight/shot/stabbed/arrested/sodomized/all of the above.
Both of you shut up. BOTH OF YOU.

I don't know why you guys brought these comments up.

Travis, if you want to continue posting at E-mpire, you better quit these flamebait posts, or I'll speak to Viper.

If you don't like me at all, Todd. There's the door, why're you trying to set up a fight?

[frosty]

^
^by me, in that order.

And carlos, you just pulled an insult out of thin air. you're way too damn defensive.

[Carlos]

I'm being defensive for a reason, pay attention to the last page - Todd indirectly insulted me first. He did it again in his last post.

In that post, he posted right after my post. Here ya go, Dustin:
I wanna get shitfaced with you guys at E3. Sounds like a jolly good time.
Compare this with my post:
He stole not just the PSP. He stole our staff's stuff, including Dakota's 360 faceplate which was limited. He even used the staff's money towards drinking and ended up shitfaced outside sleeping like a coo'ing little baby.
He continued pushing this further by posting:
Could you imagine all of us going to E3? I could see someone getting in a fight/shot/stabbed/arrested/sodomized/all of the above.
If this wasn't an insult post, then what's the point of posting this? Huh? I'm not stupid.

I'll go on Travis' case now:
i really respect your sig, carlos.

nice sig!
Compare this to:
The minute I met Seth, I didn't wholeheartdly trust him. I just knew him from GCA, but learning later, I regret being friendly towards him. He used to have one of the coolest sigs on GCA, period...but learning about his dark side, what a fucking douche. He didn't live up to his "status" in my eyes, or others for that matter. Everyone at GCA used to respect him as a member, and always like, "hey, Seth, nice sig!"
......Yeeeeeah, I don't see the point of what they're trying to insinuate.

And frosty, this isn't the first time Travis has done this....He's been doing it for quite a while, but I let it slide. I brushed it off. I have been letting Travis get away with his tactics lately.

[HPK]

Actually, I don't think Todd's latest post has anything to do with you at all. I'm reading it but I'm definitely not getting the, "oh shit, he's insulting Carlos" vibe. In fact, I don't think the other post you used has anything to do with you either. I think Todd is just making a general comment about being drunk at E3 and finding the thought somewhat enjoyable. As for his recent post, I'm sure he's just making a comment about whatever crazy shenanigans people might get into if he, and a group of others from here, got drunk at E3.
I think you just need to relax a bit, man. Not everyone is insulting you.

[Carlos]

Oh, okay, so I'm supposed to believe that. Why does it seem like everyone is trying to back up others?

I mean, everytime everyone flames me, nobody brings up the fact, and nobody defends me for it. But others get defended when its called for, like your post, HPK.

Suddenly, I'm the bad guy around here. Great, what else is new?

So, I guess I should let everyone flamebait, or flat out flame me and I'm the one who has to put up with it?

EDIT: Frosty, leave the posts as is. I have messaged Viper about this thread.

I'm sorry, HPK if I did anything to make you want to defend Todd.

[Coded-Dude]

I think it would be a riot to see everyone get together at GDC in Frisco and get hammered.....I'm feeling a Billy Idol song coming on. The transients/bumc there are far worse than in LA. Anywho, I'm the only here that can bait Carlos, so you guys need to back off! :boxing:

[frosty]

there may be more of them... but many are hippies and some of them are actually pretty cool.

[=NukeBlaze=]

Yes, they are hippies... least you forget it!

[Coded-Dude]

oh no....I know that. I just think the night life in frisco is far more entertaining because of all the transients. Most majors cities you go to you generally see on or two people walking around talking to the sky(or themselves). Just multiply that scenario by 100 and you get the Bay Area.

[frosty]

yeah, lol. i had a lot of fun last time i was there in "the city". it was hella cool.

[Travis]

Both of you shut up. BOTH OF YOU.

I don't know why you guys brought these comments up.

Travis, if you want to continue posting at E-mpire, you better quit these flamebait posts, or I'll speak to Viper.

If you don't like me at all, Todd. There's the door, why're you trying to set up a fight?

i'm sorry, carlos, i am truly sorry. i'll stop.

seriously.

[Mary]

This thread has turned really confusing...

I think it'd be fun to get shitfaced with a bunch of random people from an internet forum. Especially if there is Karaoke. Karaoke is always fun shitfaced.

[Fillibuster]

I guess I never realized how many Chicagoans were around. When I'm not in Champaign I live right outside Joliet...so like 45 minutes southwest of Downtown, right down 55

PS - I had a dream last night with Mary in it for some reason, and in my dream I was like oh shit I have to remember to post in that thread that I met Mary. I've reached a new personal low...

[Skull Kid]

Oh, okay, so I'm supposed to believe that. Why does it seem like everyone is trying to back up others?

Whoa dude, what's with all the hostility? HPK's completely right, actually. I just meant if me and Bryan went to E3, some wacky shit would probably happen, not to or against anyone we know obviously. Bryan could bring up the time when we went to Ann Arbor and got shitfaced drunk and it was still daylight out. We spent most of the day yelling at people and stumbling around town.

That's mainly what I meant. What made you think I would want to stab anyone here? I don't have any negative beef with anyone like that here. Hell, I never even came anywhere near close to wanting to do that, and I hope I never do.

[Greg]

Yeah getting drunk with the people on this forum would be a blast.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

How could I forget, Liquid Eagle was there too.

[SkYLiNe[GtR]]

Yeah, Ann Arbor was basically the very core of my hopes and dreams realized. Good times, man.

And I'm sorry that there was confusion about your post. You're fine. It was a misunderstanding that was not your fault. You didn't come off that way at all, and I'm still pretty confused as to how anyone could have thought so. We like it when you come back here, keep showing up sometimes man.
