It's been a while! I moved about 4 hours away out of the house for the first time to nearly the middle of nowhere in PA (about an hour north of Pittsburg) for an engineering job. Life's been sorta busy lately getting acclimated and Ive not had much time to do stuff on here.

That being said, I'm temporarily separated from ITG. I have no way of playing, the closest place with a good dedicab is PSU, and that's about 2.5 hours away and thats if I drive 80 the whole time. Meh. BUT. I have money saved... just need to find a spot to put a dedicab. My apartment can't work, it's hardwood floors, and there is an upstairs tenant (she would hate me, and already does because I got her in trouble for smoking more than once. INDOORS). Plus, I'm only in a 6 month lease; so no sense in moving one in only to have to move it out by June.

I'm going to scope out powered storage units in the area sometime this weekend or in the next week or 2. If (when) I find something then it'll be hopefully not more than a couple months until I have a dedicab. YES, I DO have one kind of lined up to buy. Don't ask, Im not giving any details past that.

So until the above paragraph happens I really don't have any means of playing. I'm going to go significantly backwards in this game in terms of skill level, and I realize that. It's just something I have to deal with for now, but it is just TEMPORARY.

Ok, done with the mushy stuff. Next time I'm writing anything here it will be pictures of a shiny new, er, slightly used, dedicab kbye

I know I've been sort of lazy and not fixing all the files that were reported broken over the last couple months, but I finally sat down and fixed em! If you run into any more files which are corrupted, just mark them as broken and Ill take care of them.

Whenever I mass imported files from another directory, a big chunk of them got corrupted for some reason (idk why). So it's entirely possible there are a few more broken that people haven't yet reported.

This should be up within the hour. Direct link to the stream is here.

I'm assuming we'll be using the same streaming setup as last year, but hopefully on a different computer so it's not such a pain to set up initially. I'll be taking my webcam, and we should be having a line-out directly from the back of the machine as before. I will post up a link to the stream as soon as it's up, and it will likely remain up for the duration of the weekend.

Personally, I'm going to be leaving the Thursday prior, so 12/27, from the Harrisburg, PA area. It's close to a 10 hour drive, so that puts me at an arrival time somewhere around 2-5am on Friday. I'd guess that the stream would be up sometime mid-day Friday, and the stream will be embedded here, as well as on the main page of Groovestats (but lets face it, '240bpm' is a better domain for Bearpocalypse, is it not? )

Everything you need or want to know about BPII aside from this can be found on the AIJ thread, or you can feel free to ask questions about it here. Alternatively, the download link can also be found here.

No idea how long the stream will be up Sat/Sun, since I'm not there! Tournament thread can be viewed here
