GnM is an online blog that chronicles my experiences through whatever it is that is catching my attention at the moment. Expect shifts between PC gaming news and commentary, to absolute nerding out about the new MG Exia Gundam kit. My brain is full of random esoteric crap, and I'll be spewing it out here. Thanks for hanging in there with me.

SFIV Tournament is a go!


Hey guys, I apologize for the lack of posts of late, but I’ve got a great announcement to make up for it. I am pleased to announce what will hopefully become the first of many tournaments, 
the Street Fighter 4 PowerPlay Beatdown!

When: February 27th, 2010. Tourney proper starts at 5:00 PM
Where: The location for the event will be PowerPlay Videogames in Cordova.
Address is 841 N. Germantown Pkwy, Cordova TN 38018. It’s directly beside the Outdoors INC. However, it can be a bit tricky to locate, so here’s a Google Maps link
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour…38018&view=map

Registration: $10.
Format will be double elimination, best 2 out of 3 per set. Semis will also be 2 out of 3, but we may bump it up to 3 of 5 if time allows. Finals is 3 out of 5. Loser may switch characters, winner must keep same character. We will be on 360, but we will do our best to also have a PS3 setup for those who prefer it. We will have casuals before the official start at 5:00 for warmups.

BYOC. Bringing your own controller or stick is highly recommended. I will try to have Fightpads and classic controllers available for public use, but in the end if you want to be sure that you’ll be on a controller you prefer, bring your own.
The tourney will be held on the in-house monitors, which will be tested beforehand to ensure we are using the ones with the least lag. May the best player win.
Prize money will be determined by number of entrants.

If you’re going up to Final Round in March, this is a good opportunity to get some practice in. This is the first one I’m helping organize, so hopefully we can do this on the regular.

Thanks for coming to Fight Night!

Many thanks to everyone that attended last night’s Wednesday Night Fights! It was good to see some returning faces and many new ones. We even had a couple of the srk guys come down and demonstrate some advanced stuff.
If we can keep attendance up, the scene can only grow. Hopefully we’ll be able to start an official league soon and start having some tourneys. The more regulars we have, the quicker we can progress to doing this.
Thanks also to PowerPlay Videogames for allowing us to host Fight Night at their store. Check them out at their website here.
Again, we’ll be doing this every Wednesday Night, so if you missed the first two, there’s always next week. Hope to see you there!

Cody interview!


A new developer interview discussing Cody is now up at Eventhubs. It’s a nice little read, with some juicy tidbits about how he can also use a wrench and a pipe for attacks, in addition to the knife. A cool shoutout  to the original Final Fight, for sure. Also he now has my vote for Coolest Move Name Ever; “Zonk Knuckle”.
You should head over there and check it out.
