[Oct. 22nd 2011] TEST YOUR RAGE - Hosted By VATR & MAK (Fairfax, VA)

N0rdicNinja and myself are happy and proud to announce that the WHB Company (The guys who made Summer Crowns and Beatdowns and other previous events possible) has adopted a new group to build a strong Mortal Kombat community in the MD/DC/VA area. This new MK group is called Mid-Atlantic Kombat (MAK)

MAK is a competitive community based out of the DC/MD/VA area dedicated to providing a much needed Mortal Kombat scene in an area that has completely lacked one up until this point. We will be providing an outlet for players to regularly prove themselves against others in a competitive environment and will also be organizing regular casual events for players to level up their game. It’s important to us that we not only compete with each other, but we also improve together and get to know each other as a community.

We will be working in cooperation with our brother group, VATR, and will fall under the same WHB umbrella. Test Your Rage on October 22nd will be our first event and we, along with VATR, would like to announce the RAGE COMICS competition! Show us your artistic side and create a meme that relates to VATR, MAK, Tekken, Mortal Kombat, past events, future events and/or anything in between! The cut off date for submissions will be October 14th with voting to follow between October 15th and the 21st. The winner will receive $10 in credits usable at any WHB events, including TYR on the 22nd. To enter simply e-mail your submission to [email protected] along with your name or handle. One submission per person please!


Without further ado, MAK and VATR presents....

Those of you that were at the last VATR event know how we get down. We're all about trolling, sodium chloride, RAGE, and having a fucking awesome time! There will be trash talking, there will be salt and you can bet your ass there will be hype! But it’s all in good fun with the ultimate goal of establishing a high energy competitive environment for everyone who shares a love for MK, emphasis is on community, so come out and support your community! Bring friends and have a good time.


Oh, and if you see this lupine gentleman holding a Mortons' Salt container in the picture below:

Did you only ever play on that one display everyone was playing casuals on? Could have just been a problem child. LCDs are just far easier to lug around then CRTs. =P

Perhaps we could do a local meet up to verify latency on displays.
 
me rosslyn VA, can bring setup if I get a ride. Just depends what size monitors you want, and no, they don't lag. Tested in SF4 and I bought them for PC FPS games.

Everyone interested in testing/bringing displays, what's your availability like on the 15th? Perhaps we could meet up for some testing.., and casuals while we're at it. =P

We gonna see your JC on the 22nd Mysticism? =)

Just as a reminder, until the end of October I'm on travel for work and can't meet up during the work week, if given a heads up I can do weekends however. This Saturday in particular my Wife and I already have plans though.

Yea I might be playing JC, but i have been learning a new character. So we will see what happens. If people are up for it, I don't mind holding sessions at my house on weekends. Just let me know.

Don't forget to add Mysticism Beta, and might as well throw up Sayco as well, he said he was gonna jump into MK again. =P

Anybody up for anything this weekend?
Got a party to go to this weekend, but I believe Mysticism said he was going to be running something.

Made some changes to the bringing of your setup section. Be sure to look it over, folks!

Also, MAK has a Facebook page! Be sure to join the group and add any of your MK buddies to the group!

Gonna try to man. I know MK has been representing on PS3 a lot and have to get use to playing on that. Good thing my friend Blackula has a converter for the PS2 controllers. Gonna have to train myself on that for the next couple weeks to get the feel of the pad. So casuals at his place is going to be a plus for me. Makes me wish I had a converter to hook up a 360 wired controller to the PS3 system. Oh well.

Saddens me to see you not make an appearance K.O.E. Saw you made a post and I was thinking "Awesome. He's showing up?" Then all of a sudden it puts a sad face on me that you're not. I know you've explained it to me before in private chat. Hopefully sometime down the road you can take some time off, bro.

P.S.- Nice to see you making a show SNIPS. Finally get to meet you, bro. Heard your Reptile was ridiculous. We will have to see now since the new patch came out. Hehehe. Train up hard man. Expecting good things from you. =)
 
yes sadly I have school. I have a gamepad for the 360 w/ a great dpad and its similar to the PS3. I really wana compete because playing offline made me so good w/ multiple characters and If I'm online later today I wana show you this throw mixup I've been working on w/ Scorpion.

I'll be at work 3pm-11pm tonight. So when I get off from work and you're on, we'll have a session and you can show me. I think I know what you're talking about as far as the pad goes. If so, then it's an alright pad. Heard it doesn't last long and breaks. That's just coming from my experience from someone owning one.
