The Montreal/Quebec Local Fans Banter Thread

[FreedomGundam]

I mainly play SF4 and SFxT, probably because they're the "main" things these days. On the side, I play SF2HDR, SF3, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and Marvel vs Capcom 3. And more casually, MK and DoA5. Funny, though, the game that I almost always go back to when I just feel like unwinding is Marvel Super Heroes (probably among my top 3 most favorite fighting games ever).

Interestingly enough, my brother and I are flying to Las Vegas for EVO this year. We're not expecting to do particularly well or anything, but it's one of those events that I decided that I needed to experience once in my life. And preferably before kids come along. Which means NOW.

So both EVO and TFCon this July. I'm practically not going into work that month entirely.

So jealous of EVO. Damn!

I once did ~70-ish hours with no sleep back in my university days. I was practically hallucinating at the end of it. At least I did well on my projects/presentations/exams during that period.

Note that I don't drink coffee nor energy drinks, though.

I still think that way too but the fire's larger on our candles.

La sieste, c'est pas juste pour les enfants... Lâche les Internets pis dors cliss!

I just finished cooking breakfast for the family including the wifey. Yeah soon. Maybe at twelve.

Yesterday was an exception. I do get sleep some days. My youngest unfortunately has eczema. Either way it's only two days of the week I have no one to help me but other than that I work only four days and never mondays. :lol

Pascal, on voit le temps passe ici et dans l'autre juste en bas de ton avatar...

Comment veux-tu que ça soit autrement, je travaille de la maison avec les fenêtres de Cybertron et TFW2005 ouvertes en permanence. LOL!

What's your point?
J'suis au bureau avec les mêmes fenêtres ouvertes (among other ones relating to my gazillion other hobbies)...

I've just been conditioned by a decade of jobs and school that pushes my sleep patterns later and later. I keep trying to reset, and it never sticks. Video games and the internet don't help. So when I decide to stay up "a bit later than usual", it turns into dawn real quick.

That's the one I have.

I don't recommend them during tournaments. It moves around too much during play. I find myself readjusting it on my lap sometimes.

Yep. That's the one. I've never played in any tournaments though. I'd love to go to EVO one day. Not sure I'd be good enough however lol.

I start work at noon, so yeah, going to bed at 2-3 AM has become way too normal for me. Some nights even later. Often I tell myself that I can sleep when I'm dead. Then when I get up the next day I think the exact opposite, hah.

I gotta ditch these retail jobs with odd schedules and get me a daytime desk job. That'd be more..normal. That and I wanna surf the web all day too, dammit

[Buhawi]

Slept six hours straight. Woooohooo!

[Protoman]

I'll sleep when I die.

Too much in life to do.
