Have him hack it, yes. But have him actually put good songs on it.

The guy I emailed with for a while thinks that will screw up the machine. He thinks downgrading is ebil or something.

And YES, if someone haxx0rz the Laser Flash machine, I will be eternally grateful.

It shouldn't mess it up. And if it does happen to mess the system up, a quick wipe and fresh install of r21 would fix the problem. And from there, putting songs on the machine shouldn't be that hard. I haven't had first hand experience with the ITG system, but I am pretty sure, between all of us, we can figure it out. lols

I know I tried to convince him nothing bad would happen, but meh. If someone else wants to give it a go, here's the email address I used.

Edited emails out in fear of spam bots

Pinheads doesn't even have an email address but their phone number is 317-773-9988.

I've realized that I would be happy at any place that we decided to have a tournament, just as long as there is room. And I mean, this is assuming that a large group of people would actually show.

Well it turns out you can downgrade, I showed this to Mike, so I am pretty sure it works and we will be fine. And like blackcat said, anywhere its hosted will be fine as long as there is room. I think Anderson would probably be the only place to lack room.

I can has r21

I went to talk to Peter at laser flash today and he said they've had a 3rd mix ddr tourney before and he'd be fine with doing an ITG tournament. So we just need to pick a date and some rules and then let him know.

Shannon, since it was your idea, maybe you should decide the date and rules?

It would also be cool if we could make flyers for the tournament. I can just stick the date/rules/laserflash logo/itg logo on a page and use that unless anyone has a better idea.

Heh...I actually won that tournament. (Kinda demonstrates just how long ago it was!)

Just make sure you actually come up with a rule set. They ran the 3rd Mix tourney themselves. It wasn't the worst tournament I've ever been to (that dubious "honor" still goes to the tournament at Time Out in Greenwood--ask for my rant about it sometime), but it was fundamentally flawed. They ran a bracket of 12 which resulted in someone getting a free pass out of the semifinals and into the finals without actually playing.

Maybe we should get a list of people who would go to a Laser Flash tourney?

I would, even though I would definitely get last place. (Not even kidding, I can't even ** Birdie or Da Roots X_X)

that left arrow at the anderson putt putt seems to go in and out. it works fine now. i dont know what the hell its problem is. but anderson would be a good place. i already talked to the manager, and he said all i had to do is make a flier and pick a day which isnt too busy.

The only problem I can see with that is the possibility of the arrow going or mixed with the fact that the arcade area of it is kinda small and crowded with machines. But then again thats my personal opinion.
