Road to EVO 2012 comes to Columbus, OH this spring.
Not too long ago, the EVO 2012 schedule was released. While scanning it, I noticed two events are actually taking place in Ohio:
PowerUp 2012, Cincinnati, Ohio April 13-15
Season’s Beatings: Summer Slam, Columbus, OH May 5th
With any luck, I'm planning on trying to attend Season't Beatings: Summer Slam this year for at least Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition 2012, possibly UMvC3 if I can get good enough, but my main focus will Street Fighter. The strange thing is, I didn't see any venues on the list, so I'm not sure where any of these are taking place this year, but when I find out, I'll post it here.
I’m Still Here (NeoScyther)
Yeah, it's been a long time since anything's been posted here. Then again, I have a lot on my plate right now. Hmm...where to begin?
1.) Keeping the MAME submission queue over at Twin Galaxies under control.
2.) Writing and reviewing games for www.gamingnexus.com.
3.) Working on video projects for my site (more on this in a moment).
4.) Work. Was on the sales floor for a few months, but that stressed me out more than my previous position, so I dropped down to part time, but I'm working AP/Warehouse again, so in a sense I'm back in my element. 
To be honest, I haven't had much of a chance for personal gaming lately. I do plan on doing more gaming videos down the road, possibly Let's Plays over on my YouTube site. When I do, I'll be sure to post them here.
EVO Tournament Updates
I posted earlier today that the EVO top 8s for each game would be taking place today. Well, provided their internet stops going out and the stream flows normally, I'll be posting updates on this post for each of the five games in terms of the Finals and who wins. Any match that has "Grand Finals BR" denotes a Bracket Reset.

EVO Top 8s Are Underway
For those who haven't been keeping up with EVO, today is Day 3, which means it's time for the Top 8 players in each of the five big games to show what they're made of. Right now we have the Top 8 in BlazBlue: Continuum Shift 2 and it's some really good stuff, especially between DS Moove (Noel) vs. Spark (Haku-Men) where just about each round is coming down to the wire. Makes me wish I was there.
Also, I cleaned up a bunch of spam in the comments, so for anyone who had to read those (or ignore them I guess), they should be gone.

Updates – NeoScyther
So amazingly enough, I haven't posted on here for a while. This is due to a number of factors, such as moving into a new position at work and working on some other projects of mine. However, I am heading to my third Super Street Fighter IV tournament (second "big" tournament, depending on what you consider a big tournament), taking place at Gen Con Indy. As such, to help with my training, I've been recording some online matches for me to analyze and see what I'm doing wrong, what I'm doing right, where I can improve, and so on. Hopefully, I'll be getting some of these videos up soon. Look out Indy. Here comes Vega!
