Brief Hiatus!

Our live events will be going on a brief hiatus, as we’re moving apartments this month. Have no fear, though—we’ll be back on the week of August 6 (exact date and time TBD), and you can reach us here on the website or on Facebook/Twitter until then!

Our next Throwdown!

In case you’ve missed it on our Facebook, we’re having another good ol’ fashioned fighting game tournament!  This time, it’s Skullgirls, now that you’ve had the time necessary to practice.  Come out and join us at Mister Tramps next Monday (Jun 11th) @ 9:30!

The important details:

  • The event begins @ 9:30, and the tournament starts @ 10:00. Sign ups are open until 10:00, or until we fill up, and are awarded on a first come first served basis.
  • No entry fee
  • First place prize is a free drink and a Pixels T-shirt
  • Second place prize is a free drink.

 

The nitty gritty:

  • All matches will be played on PS3
  • We will have sticks available for use, but to ensure you get one, please bring your own if possible.
  • Matchups are best two out of three matches, best two out of three rounds (even for team matches). Finals will be best three out of five matches.
  • Brackets will be randomly seeded, and the tournament will be single elimination.

 

So come on down at 9:30, have a beer or two, play in some casuals, and sign up for the throwdown proper at 10:00. Feel free to post on this thread if you have any questions, or find our Facebook page.

Hope to see you there!

You like us… you really, really like us!

It is our tremendous honor to announce that our good friends at Mister Tramps have asked us to bring Hometown Throwdown back to their doors on a regular basis.

Starting on April the 9th, Hometown Throwdown will be happening every 2nd and 4th Monday, at 7:30 PM. That means more tournaments, more games, and perhaps most importantly, more beer!  We’ll be announcing the schedule for 4/9 tomorrow, so stay tuned!
