OH MANS. I'm going to start brushing up right now. I always wanted me an arcade stick, but I've been too poor to buy. ;)
Whoa, In The Groove 2? As in... the newest arcade release from RoXor? Dude... I adore you.
Will the tournament matches be video recorded this time around? I'd love to be able to watch the matches after it's all done, I remember I was in a few killer matches last year that I regret not video taping.
I'll probably be filming a good handful of them. Of course, when I edit things together for the end video I don't show every last thing for the sake of keeping it all at half an hour long, so... yeah... that's about all I can offer on my end. Anybody else filming?
Heh, all I ever do is hang out in the gaming and arcade rooms. I spend more than half of my time there. Don't know if that is something to brag about or not......anyway, more than likely I will be there recording (if allowed). And if someone will want it on DVD, they can just request it, all I ask for in return is the blank DVD to be able to record on. anyway, laters.
Cool, thanks for that. I'll make sure to bring a DVD.
I'll bring a camcorder but i'm not sure about all the fights. Maybe some good matches in the tournament and some exhibition ones too.
