Arkansas Armageddon - The Best Tournament Thingy in Arkansas

By Majinken May 20, 2011 4 Comments

A.K.A. The only thing happening in Arkansas.

Ar2

We're planning a tournament, Arkansas Armageddon, slated for June 27th in Bentonville, Arkansas. So far we're still just a club run out of the local community college, but we're looking at potential sponsors and venues in hopes of growing into something significant. We're also poking into the legality of cash prizes and other incentives. To the best of my knowledge, video games =/= not games of chance = cash prizes totally legal. In that case, a $5 entry fee with cash pot is completely feasible. The more people that show interest and can come, the higher the stakes'll get. Anyone is welcome and there are many fairly nice hotels in Bentonville, but I'd advise against paying a lot of money in hopes of making it back, at least this first year. It's planned as a one all day event. Food will be free!

Schedule:

1v1

Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, Mortal Kombat 9,
Marvel vs Capcom 3, Super Smash Bros. Brawl,
Tekken 6

2v2

Halo: Reach

Fighting games will be played on PS3, so take that into consideration when bringing sticks or controllers. (Converter lag made me decide against buying one.) Reach will be played on two 360s on two opposite facing TVs. Also scheduled is a Zelda speed run contest with OoT 3DS as a prize. More details will come to light at the event.

Time: June 27th, 10 AM to Finish

Location: Northwest Arkansas Community College's Student Center, 1 College Drive, Bentonville, Arkansas

Last Day to Enter: June 15th

Email EternalAvalon@gmail.com to enter. Entry fees will be collected at the door.

For those more visual, tl;dr, here's a trailer-ma-jig I made.

Feel free to ask me any questions, or make suggestions. Both are appreciated. = ) This tournament's been in the works for roughly 2 years and every effort is being made to make it the most professionally run gaming event in the area. The local competition is no slouch, either, with a fair number of Tekken, Smash Bros, and Halo players itching for a challenge. We want to give the area and those around us the environment it needs to grow as a competitive community.

Majinken's GotY Thread Thing

Proving once again that all it takes to pollute the internet is a camera, lack of sleep, and a dream.

This is actually my first blog post on here, so I'm not even sure where this'll go... but I thought, hey, I have this fancy list I made on Giant Bomb and the means to convey it in moving pictures. As the 4th draws nearer, I honestly only grow more confident in it, but #5 has changed for the better. As much as I wanted to circumvent not having played some really brilliant looking games this year, it seemed against the spirit of listing games that I personally enjoyed this year.

But enough talk! Have at you!

Best of 2009

Majinken: Best of 2009

	1. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves The only thing this game will leave you wanting is a sequel.
	2. Metroid Prime Trilogy Yes, these games are 8, 6, and 3 years old. No, I don't care. DAT BOX.
	3. Tales of Vesperia Between this and Zelda, it's really more a question of quantity.
	4. The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks When people see you crying on the bus with DS in hand, tell them Zelda's returned to form.
	5. The Secret of Monkey Island What possible use could that have?
	6. Street Fighter IV This game is in-de-structible!
	7. Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story The mustard of your doom!
	8. Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon When a low point in your series is this good, you know you've got a good thing going.
	9. Battlefield 1943 Like a thief, this game steals away my time.
	10. flower Beautiful, imaginative, and just maybe eye-opening.
