Calling all Ravens in the vicinity of Metro Manila!
PHILIPPINE ARMORED CORE TOURNAMENT IV
When: Moved to June 7, 2008.
Where: Sforza's residence in Makati.
Game: Armored Core: Last Raven (AC:LR)
Format: Tournament flow will follow a double elimination format as mentioned here.
Rules: A three (3) round format will be the used; 5 minutes per round (may be shortened to 3 minutes as per time constraints).
Standard PACT rules shall be applied, see here for more details.
Two (2) ACs with no repeating parts (except for optional parts) shall be allowed per person. The AC can use the same leg type, but not the same exact part (i.e. you can use tank legs for both of your units, but not the exact same tank leg part model) per AC, including internals and weapons.
A participant shall use one (1) AC against the opponent's other AC. The second round will force players to swap their ACs with the one in reserve. The 3rd round shall allow both participants to choose which ever AC they wish to use.
The scoring system using the AP score format will be retained. This format computes the total amount of AP left for the three (3) bouts for each pair of participants. The participant with the higher total sum AP after the three (3) rounds shall be declared the winner.
Random map selection.
Materials needed: PS2s, PS2 link cable, TVs, Controllers, Memory Cards, Copies of AC:LR/Tekken 5, other games you might want to play, food.
Just finished uploading about 150 megabytes of pictures to the gallery. High resolution wallpapers, screenshots and scans are there, alongside smaller thumbnails from the previous games.
Yes, I know I could have a lot more interesting pictures by lurking here and here but seeing as those are owned by other people and not FromSoft itself, I decided not to.
If you're only going to check out one area from the dozens of new ones, check out the Armored Core: for Answer screens and scans, which are mainly sourced from the AC Wiki. White Glint and that 1st Ranker blue AC are so beautiful in hi-res they make my eyes water.
Thank you Big Rigs, the best game ever made. If it weren't for your greatly detailed textures and spot-on collision detection, as well your tight controls and realistic physics, this shot would have never happened.
Yeah there's Rick Jesus in the center, and Goat Iscariot to his side. The other disciples may have moved around a bit though. For comparison's sake:
Taken from the March 8 meet. Check out the gallery for more moments.
After a year and a half we finally decided to go and do it: buy ourselves the grand domain name of ravenrepublic.net. Sure some of that underground, free flavor will have been lost, but I don't think it matters now anyway. We know who we are. Now it's time to let the rest of the world know.
Plus now that I look back having a cjb.net domain makes us look like freeloaders and amateurs. Haha.
In case of any troubles with the new address like broken links or error pages, direct your questions and complaints to the help desk.
Late updates seem to be the norm around here. Gotta change that for the New Year, RR!
Just this past December 28 to 29, a number of us went to have some R&R (the real R&R) over at Tagaytay Highlands. Once again, care of the kind sforzando, we stayed at a pretty nice condominium unit with all sorts of activities and good eats planned.
The two days passed quickly, with much fun and enjoyment that was had. I personally hope to do this again, at the end of this year hopefully. Maybe get some sort of tradition going.
For lack of better writing at the moment, and with a certain belief in my own, I think I summed it up best:
"BESTERESTERTESTEREST more like it.
Late beginnings, runaway employees, planting bugs, long road trips, popping ears, beautiful vistas, awesome cabins, 12 floors, AC elevators.
Can you spot LOLCourse and Dicktrap?
Ace Combatistas, Street Fighters, GGers, Tekkenites, bazaars, "Did someone say pORN???!!!", Japanese curry, named plastic cups, Bookworm is the best RPG ever, side B, untouched sake, freezing December nights.
Early risers, longganisas in a pot, tae kwon do, marsupials, cute Chinese girls with the strength of 3 men, 20 year old monks who look 45, closet Annas, "my down+4 is longer than yours", Korea is not a word, Korean food is cancerous.
Cleanup time, fire exits, pictures, parting of ways.
Friends, memories.
*bow*
Thanks gents.
Oh yeah if you read this entire post you're gay mwahaha"
There ya go. As inside-joke-filled and as cryptic as I could make it.
nako eh kahit malaking tao ako
