@Xxenace - I'm just curious, but have you checked the matchmaking section at SRK? You're from North Carolina right?

I'm sure there is something you can find in your state. For years I thought there was absolutely nothing in upstate NY, but after doing a little searching, I found a nice crowd about 40 minutes away from me. I've been doing what I can to get interest in KOFXIII, managed to get a few players into it, and one guy in particular loves KOF and outright says it's that XIII is the best fighting game of this generation.

i just moved to TN a few weeks back and im still trying to get used to the area

[Running Wild]

Good luck finding a scene there, if you can.

I miss the good ol' days of malls having arcades and being able to find a match in any fighting game.

[Saitsuofleaves]

Or if nothing else, beasting on Daytona USA.

[LouisCipher]

Arcades really suck nowadays. Even Mall arcades suck.

[Saitsuofleaves]

Yeah, but it's not like it isn't understandable.

[Xxenace]

Or if nothing else, beasting on Daytona USA.

or watching some chick in a short skirt play ddr

[Delta]

But what was the % of a HOT or decent chick playing DDR? Not high i think.

[Saitsuofleaves]

Depends on the town.  Bigger Ratio of Hot Chicks or more laidback hot chicks ups the %

[Xxenace]

i swear to god if i ever win the lottery im gonna open up a aracde

[Saitsuofleaves]

And then watch as all that lottery money goes down the drain really quickly.

[Delta]

lol, was going to say something like that. Unless you open it in Asia or something like that.

My hype continues

The Last Airbender: The Legend of Korra - Exclusive Trailer



Description:
Republic City is everything that Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko fought for when they ended the Hundred Year War. With balance restored to the four nations, benders and non-benders can live together in peace, in this thriving metropolitan area. But even the steampunk paradise of Republic City has its problems, as the next Avatar discovers. When Avatar Korra arrives in Republic City to master her airbending, she comes face to face with criminal bending gangs as well as members of a vocal anti-bending revolution. Before long, Korra's Avatar skills are put to the test when she encounters a group of Chi-blockers led by the charismatic and mysterious Amon, who threatens the city and all the benders in it. Despite the immense danger, Korra vows to fight the growing anti-bending revolution. But will she be able to stop Amon before he rises to power and makes his vision of a bending-free world a reality?

Korra / Avatar:


Korra couldn't have less in common with Aang, the previous Avatar. A 17-year-old girl from the Southern Water Tribe, she is as hot-headed and eager as she is talented. When she runs away to Republic City, her stubbornness and impatience get in the way of her bending studies, but it is clear from the start that she is destined for greatness. Korra discovers many new things in Republic City - some amazing and some terrifying. Whether its honing her bending skills in the Pro-bending Arena, facing off with street thugs or facing an anti-bending rebellion, Korra learns that being the Avatar comes with many dangers and responsibilities. As if being a teenager wasn't hard enough on its own!

Mako / Firebender:


A Firebender with a serious side, the handsome and brooding Mako has always taken care of his little brother, Bolin. Growing up on the streets has given him a hard edge, but Mako loves his brother and will do anything to protect them both. Intensely focused on getting their team through the Pro-bending tournament and winning the jackpot, Mako's tightly controlled world gets a little more chaotic when Korra enters the picture.

Bolin / Earthbender:


No matter how intense things get around Republic City (and they do get intense), Bolin is always good for a laugh. Mako's younger brother and Pro-bending teammate, Bolin tends to be more laidback and likes to have a good time. Despite their tough childhood, Bolin always has a smile on his face and a lady on his arm. In fact, it was Bolin who was responsible for introducing Mako to Korra. But Bolin is no clown. When the time comes to buckle down and bend some earth, this tough contender can handle his business.

Tenzin / Airbender:


Tenzin and his wife Pema raise their two daughters, Jinora and Ikki, and son Meelo, on Air Temple Island. As Avatar Aang's son and an Airbender, Tenzin carries a great responsibility on his shoulders to continue the dream of his father to protect not only the next Avatar, but also Republic City. Generally very serious and calm, Tenzin's serene life on Air Temple Island is rocked when the impetuous Korra moves into his home to continue her airbending training. As Korra's teacher, Tenzin finds his patience tested time and again but he also realizes that while she has a lot to learn from him, he also has something to learn from her.

Chief Lin Beifong:


Her mother Toph taught Avatar Aang how to earthbend, but Chief Lin Beifong doesn't feel any special affection for the new Avatar. In fact, this metal and earthbending police chief sees Korra's arrival as the biggest threat Republic City has faced in recent times. Korra's reckless ways are constantly leaving Lin Beifong's streets in ruin, and this chief is determined to push bring the Avatar out of her city.

ill be sure to have a no saitsu's allowed sign

[Delta]

So no more "Avatar" in the official name? Whose to blame, James Cameron's Pocahontas with aliens?

Still looks good, hoping they say an airing date soon.

[Saitsuofleaves]

Yeah, Cameron's to blame but he DID have the title of Avatar first, he just let TLA use it the first time around since his movie wasn't out yet.

And Korra's smile in that picture screams troll.
