taiki and I went out and aboot this past Sunday so I could get stuff to mend my pants. As we finished I asked if we could go to Dark Tower so I could do some unnecessary spending. The trip soon became a discussion on competitive gaming in the Las Vegas area.
As I was finishing my purchase of Exiles Vol. 4 Taiki and I started talking about card games, as there was a bunch of guys looking at the Magic stuff. That's when the guy behind the counter added in his two cents since we were chatting about SvC: Card Fighters on the DS.
Then we discover he's into fighting games. Now granted, it was SF III and he was a Chun-Li/Yun user (the MOST ABUSED CHARACTERS IN THAT GAME), but I could forgive him since he was getting into Guilty Gear.
It was from this discussion that I realized just how deprived the gaming community is in this city. We have no arcade, so we result to fragmented mini-tourneys at home or other spots. Taiki then had a great idea: why not start holding tourneys at UNLV? They have the space and fandom, and it's for free!
The guy thought it was a great idea and got Taiki's number and our names (yes, he asked me mine too XD). So hopefully this will mean our little Vegas scene has some life left, and Vegas can actually make a name for itself as a hub for fighting gamers.
Maybe now I can get some competition aside from my current buddies. And I'm getting the idea of me being one of the first gaming girls to become an EVO staple. What a novel concept! XD
Now if only I could find a decent pool hall around here, then I'd be set.
