The Dream is dead but the Soul lives on....(Dreamcast Marathon)

Well it was a good run and while me and my friends were about to complete the marathon, the Dreamcast on the other hand couldn't. As the beginning of the final hour arrived, the Dreamcast simply got tired. It wouldn't spin. it wouldn't read. It can boot the the bios but that was it. Oh well. I say it was a sucess regardless seeing as the dreamacst was on for a hour or two before the marathon began. But we still had fun.

VGXPO tournament results

First off this was the most horrible experience I have ever been a part of. I was promised a lot of stuff from the VGXPO people to help run this whole thing smoothly and then I got left hanging when it came to game time. I had to push back the tournament because we didn't have a ps3 with SC4 stuff or a copy of the game for that matter. We had the vgxpo staff screwing everything up from the brackets to registration to changing my rules. Once we finally got a copy tyo play I was forced to do a 44 man single elim tourney with the final 4 going into double elim to get a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place rankings.
