Purdue Memorial Union
Hey everyone,
I guess this is sort of a long shot since this is an Indy community, but I'm wondering if anyone in the Lafayette/WL area plays on the SuperNOVA in the Union club at Purdue. Grasping for my fleeting twenties now, I've been getting back into the game after about a decade of just being busy with life or whatever. But the scene seems all but dead these days, and I feel like kind of a tool playing some dead old dancing game by myself---and being too aerobically out of shape to play as hard as I want to, at that, despite all the exercise I get from cycling. Anyway, it would be cool if I ran into some other players. Anyone know if there's any semblance of a scene left here? What's a good time to play? I was down there early this afternoon (Sunday) but maybe that's a bad time? I'm not a student so I don't really hang out on campus much, unless I have a specific reason to be hanging out there, i.e. to play DDR, or to meet with friends or whatever Purdue-centric groups I happen to be involved with.

I don't know if there is a Purdue scene at all, but you shouldn't feel like a tool. Keep on smashin'.

Re: Purdue Memorial Union
If this had been seven years ago I would have been down there in the Union smashing arrows with you, but as of now I have no clue. I do believe the good ol' days are gone.

Re: Purdue Memorial Union
I go to Purdue on a semi-regular basis for my Capstone project and sometimes do get the chance to play. I don't do very well anymore as my work does take up a considerable amount of time so don't expect anything too special.

Re: Purdue Memorial Union
Well, I plan on visiting Fort Wayne in around seven months, give or take a few months. If you're around then it would be cool to meet up.Merk wrote:Adam, we all miss you here in Indiana!

Re: Purdue Memorial Union
I will make an effort to meet up if you give me an exact date and a reasonable amount of notice! We can re-enact the video of you and Teddy running around Fort Wayne to all the arcades and shit.LikeableRodent wrote:Well, I plan on visiting Fort Wayne in around seven months, give or take a few months.

Re: Purdue Memorial Union
Haha, yeah. We could try something like that.
I'll try and give you notice once I know myself.

Why does it look like Purdue had more people that enjoy video games there than Digipen does?LikeableRodent wrote:If this had been seven years ago I would have been down there in the Union smashing arrows with you, but as of now I have no clue. I do believe the good ol' days are gone.
Most people 'round here just play LoL and Minecraft...
Re: Purdue Memorial Union
Let me know when you're in the area, too! I'd love to get together for shenanigans.LikeableRodent wrote:Haha, yeah. We could try something like that.

Re: Purdue Memorial Union
Well that's kinda how most DDR scenes used to look 10-12 years ago when the game was still a bit mysterious and fresh, and there wasn't a machine, you know... in pretty much everyone's house now...Pokebis wrote:Why does it look like Purdue had more people that enjoy video games there than Digipen does?LikeableRodent wrote:If this had been seven years ago I would have been down there in the Union smashing arrows with you, but as of now I have no clue.

Also, I remember getting in Adam's rape va-...... errr 1337 van one time with two long-haired metalhead guys I didn't know and going to Taco Bell. No clue who they were! I could have been compromised.

No idea who you're talking about, but heck, it was high school. Who knows.Riot wrote:Also, I remember getting in Adam's rape va-...... errr 1337 van one time with two long-haired metalhead guys I didn't know and going to Taco Bell. No clue who they were! I could have been compromised.
Re: Purdue Memorial Union
All I knew was they were just some arcade dudes and we were at Putt Putt. They were probably part of the whole fighting game crowd I didn't really know at the time (sadly, since I play fighting games a lot now).LikeableRodent wrote:Sure thing!Ho wrote:Let me know when you're in the area, too!
