Houston Gamers Getting Down With Test Your Skills Texas Bar Fights 6

February 12, 2012
, , , ,

Let’s face it, my hometown of is known more for having a problem than having a solid videogame community. Which is where we come in. Having trekked far and wide, I came across a group of truly fanatical gamers, in all senses of the word. This weekend I spent some time with them and got to watch an intense competitive bouts. Super Smash Bros., Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom, Super Street Fighter, and King of Fighters, were games that were on the menu for the day as brackets were filled and players battled each other.

“We want to get Houston on the map again,” was the sentiment that echoed by the 40-50 players that I hung out with, and even outside of hometown love, everyone wanted to get Texas recognized again as a place of competitive champions.

It made me feel relieved to know that my hometown of Houston had a growing grassroots movement of hardcore gamers, and I feel honored to be a part of the movement.

Here’s a video recap of the weekend:

Keep an eye on our Twitch channel as we’ll be broadcasting these fight nights and tournaments in the future. And if you’re a Houston , get connected! The Houston video games scene is young, but it’s also strong.

    What caused Galveston to fall, and Houston to become the biggest city? A popular story is the 1900 hurricane, but are there any other reasons, like the ship channel and Spindletop? Links would be greatly appreciated.

    My situation is we are unable to enjoy our swimming pool with out being attacked. I have tried off, but it only washes away in the pool. I have tried teaki torches and citronella candles, but have found that you have to stay right beside them or they are not very effective.

    I was wondering if any one knew of some sort method, being spray or powder to spray or sprinkle in all the landscaping to deter them from my back yard? Or any other suggestions. Please keep in mind that I do have a small dog so this magical cure would need to be pet friendly.

    I don’t know if this a problem shared around the Houston area or if it is just in The Woodlands because of all the wooded areas.

    I found only one good site, but the events seem to be rather minimal and of little importance. I know about the scourge of Sherman, from Atlanta to Savannah, but I know nothing else. Instead of events I can also have important people from Georgia but I need variety. Please and thank you, thank you for your time.

    I have got to find something fun to do over the weekend. I go frequently to the Houston Museum of Natural Science, the Houston Fine Arts Museum, the Houston Health Museum, and the Sugarland Museum of Natural Science. I like educational places but do not want to feel like I’m back in school on the weekend. Please keep suggestions within the Houston area and no farther out from Houston than San Antonio is. Thanks for your help!

    What events are there where a person or people did something morally wrong for the greater good?

    I am writing a paper to persuade that “the end justifies the mean”, that doing something morally wrong to save the greater good good is ok, and I need proof to back up my thesis. Any events or scenarios that could fit in with this would really help. also links to any of the information would also be good.

    I need to interview someone about an event in india’s history. I need learn things like how the person felt and stuff. What are some events in India’s history that occured after 1960 that would be good for an interview. I don’t think I can use the Sino-Indian war.
