you guys definitely post up which events you are attending (when it gets close to the date, of course) so we can plan to meet.

I'd like to attend Street Fighter Sunday, depends if I can get other people interested in an Austin trip again. :P The Round Rock Puzzle League and Retro Sports Game Blitz (NFL Blitz is king) also sound like they'd be fun. I'd probably also wanna go to the Ehrgeiz tournament because that should be damn hilarious. You guys are fortunate to have awesome events like these!

The shmups meet with the meetup.com group was pretty insane. Lots of credit feeding and bomb spamming.

Woops, forgot to mention I was going to the Tertis/Dr. Mario Tourney at the Brodie Lane store. I managed to get 2nd place.

Best 4 player shmup I've ever played. Also, the only 4 player shmup I've played, but still...

Hey, if any of you locals are looking for a Saturn, this is a hell of a deal: http://austin.craigslist.org/vgm/2448232760.html

I emailed the owner for a games list. I would be willing to go halves with someone. I just want in on a few of the games.

edit: Got a games list.
All japan pro wrestling , street fighter collection, fire pro wrestling 6men scramble, pocket fighter , vampire savior, street fighter warriors dream, last bronx, battle arena toshinden

That is a good deal. I get paid tomorrow and I've been wanting to get a Saturn for a few years now. I will totally go half with you on this. :D

Be careful, man. Getting into Saturn gaming changes a man. It's expensive. And it turns you into a total elitist. Wipeout was there when I got my first Saturn - he's infamous for corrupting gamers.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Corruption? I showed you the way and you are a better, broker man for it!
