STGC Fragfest

Sorry I’m a bit late writing this in, but I spent a good portion of today getting things done that well…needed doing.

My cold is still bugging me, unfortunately. I spent more money than I care to think about yesterday on vending machine water.

I got there about 8AM, where a bunch of people were still asleep from last night. I hung around for a bit..enough to listen to the wakeup call over the Gym loudspeakers…a loud rendition of FPS Doug’s “BOOM! HEADSHOT!” scream, followed by some loud music. From my perspective, that was pretty funny. I bowed out shortly after to go Wal-Mart and pick up some DayQuil for my cold that just…won’t…die.

After I got back, people were doing some Unreal Tournament 2004 instagib deathmatch, which I’m pretty decent at. I almost won a match…got beat by one frag. Drat. Anyway, the tournaments started around 12-1PM with the Guitar Hero Tournament. I was doing pretty well and would have finished in 2nd or 3rd place but the tournament ran long and the Unreal Tournament Instagib tournament started up before the guitar hero one finished.

I wanted to do the UT one more than guitar hero, so I bowed out of the final rounds. Since they tournaments were supposed to be running one after the other and not overlapping, the president of the gamers club felt sorry for me, so he gave me a bunch of free swag stuff, including a nvidia lego-man keychain, a crucial mousepad and a bunch of different stickers.

I lasted 4 rounds in the UT tournament but got knocked out, unfortunately. A friend of mine took first place and won a new case and a power supply which was pretty cool.

After I dropped out, I didn’t do much more multiplayer game playing. I hung out and watched the iMac roll (rolling an iMac down a hill in an attempt to destroy it…video coming soon) and then played some Lego Star Wars II off and on until 2AM when I finally went home. The last tournament was a Counterstrike: Source tournament which I wasn’t that interested in. I hear it went until at least 4-5AM, so I’m glad I didn’t wait until it finished to see what other people were doing after.

Anyway, I had a blast. These things are always fun. Sigh. Back to the mundane then…
