CPL 2006 Summer Event: July 5th - 9th

[Omeganitros]

Ah, yes, the Cyberathlete Professional League comes 'round again at the Gaylord Hotel in Grapevine, Texas.
5000 man LANs, hardware and games on wholesale and discount prices, tons of free ****, demo booths, tv cameras, arcade games, Bawls with Pizza, contests, movies, tournaments, and wonderful wonderful memories.

I've been looking foward to this event for 3 months now. I am goddamn psyched.

Although, there seems to be some confusion with when it starts on the 5th. Morning at 10am? Noon? AT ALL? Oh well. I'll show up at noon and see what's going down.

[Squeek]

Can't they ever move this event somewhere else.

Texas is so far away from the rest of the country.

=(

~Squeek

[Mindfields]

Texas should be it's own country.
We don't like the rest of you guys bringing our morale down.
I won't be able to make it, I'm so sorry Omega :'(

[Omeganitros]

That's okay, bro. I'm used to disappointment.

[GuidoHunter]

Crap. Unless I can make it Thursday or Friday afternoon, I can't make it. Busy weekend and work during the week.

You gonna be there those evenings, Omega?

I ended up not going today, as all the schedule says is that today is BYOC and Tournament Registration.

Tommorrow, however, I plan to be there all day.

[Omeganitros]

T-minus 3 hours.

Gaylord is really nice.. too bad they kicked quakecon- some ass broke a sink.

Come to quakecon, it's better than those stuck up jackasses at CPL.

Btw: Tell me if you see Modus, I don't know if he's going to CPL, but I think he might ;)

[Omeganitros]

Uh, whose Modus?

[deltro300111]

Uh, whose Modus?
DM player

[Omeganitros]

Sup, b*tches? Guess where I'm posting from right now? Pics soon...Or when I stop kicking ass at Quake 4.

I hope that it comes to maryland :o

How is it?

[Tps222]

I'm terrible at Q4.

Anyways, Texas is way too far away, and much less important than New York. One needs to be held here.

[Omeganitros]

I'd take the time to upload each picture to imageshack, but...Hey, attatchments!

I'll probably be there tonight. My friend is playing Ghost Recon there. Of course, I get off work at four, so it'll be well after that...

Ahhhh, the smell of 10am. Here, we see the line for registration and buying an observer pass.

I step through the entrance and here's the first thing I see.

The command center where the LAN stuff of the Tournament PCs are managed. BTW, lots of these pictures are lacking of people because I got there right when the doors opened. Right now the place is PACKED.

Um, okay, Imageshack has decided to stop working. I'll try to upload the rest later.

[Omeganitros]

Holy **** my feet are killing me.


Tournament area.

Somehow I don't think I'll be taking pictures with these guys like last time.

By the way, that Ping Pong game by Rockstar is incredibly fun.

[Squeek]

Looks like a lot of fun.

Too bad they only hold this event in places nobody can get to.

Who lives in Texas anyway =(

It's like a 28-hour drive from here.

[Omeganitros]

****! I have to leave for the airport in an houar and I haven't finished packing yet.

There's just one picture I feel I have to show you guys.

This was so awesome. There was an actual line to play this game, and it got TENSE.

[stretchypanda]

Andy called me the other day and said we were going to this, and I was excited, and then we didn't go, and I don't really know why. =(

[fusi0n]

Ah, shame I didn't see you there. It was lots of fun in the BYOC.

By the way, it's no longer called the CPL now, but rather part of the WSVG.

[Omeganitros]

Yeah, wtf was up with having to have a badge to get in BYOC? I was trying to get pictures of the place and the guy was like "nuh uh" and I was like ".....fagit...." but he heard me and he was like "no u"

[Kilgamayan]

omega why do you ignore my pms :(

[Omeganitros]

Sorry, Kilga. I have no way of reaching my ROMs here in Cali.


But you can find a MMBN5: Colonel ROM the same way I did: Google, and perseverance.

[Kilgamayan]
