08/17/24 – Weekly Update

General :

2XKO Beta Weekend ! We will be connecting this directly to the main Stage and be streaming a 2XKO rotation all night ! Going to have hand mics on deck at the Main Stage available ! 

We now have a PS2 ready 100% unlock save file for Fate / Unlimited Code available here . This has been installed on all Araiguma PS2s for future tournament play . 

A new event is also in the works ! Haggar’s Alley ! With the blessing from the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center we will be having after the street lights come on tournaments outdoors in the ‘ The Alley ‘ behind the building  ! Events will be streamed + mics for commentary , grilling is doable , we can also be as loud as we want due to this not being a residential area . This is currently in the planning phase with dates and first titles to come soon . 

Future Location : 

This section is usually down at the bottom with a big no ETA on it and how cool things will be . This time , something a bit more to say ! Construction has been fast tracked . Let’s quickly revisit how we found the space ,

This is how it is as of yesterday ,

Next week we have a meeting to discuss specifics ! At this time there is no move in ETA , however it may be this year ! 

Hardware :

The old station signs ,

Have been replaced with a full fresh kit of ‘ Araiguma Station Cards ‘ we designed last week and just got produced ! 

Will be available in many colors for those who might be interested . We have a long backlog of signs that will be slowly brought into production between now and December . 

This was going to be an announcement of , hey ! We got a chat monitor on the Main Stage ! Alas , it’s dead . Trying again soon , but since it is there , that is what this will eventually be for !

YouTube :

New Playlist has been added for GOOD FOR HEALTH – BAD FOR EDUCATION VODs 

All dedicated 3rd Strike Side Stream VODs have been removed from UCKITH VODs and moved to their own dedicated Playlist due to multiple requests for finding these easier . 

Broadcast :

All Content Classifications have been removed ! !  

The ‘ Sexual Themes ‘ Content Classification has been removed . This is more of a legacy tag and is inaccurate . This was classed specifically for ” Non-educational discussions of sexual topics or experiences. ” . For those who are new , no need to let your imagination run wild , it was nothing too serious , more of just a matter of not wanting to alienate anyone who did not want to hear this type of talk . It has since seized long ago . 

When reviewing the Twitch ‘ Content Classification Guidelines ‘ , we have removed the following content classification : Drugs , Intoxication, or Excessive Tobacco Use due to better review of the guidelines . 

We can also removed the ‘ Significant Profanity or Vulgarity ‘ label ! As Twitch states in the lined guidelines , 

” Labeling not required: Intermittent use of vulgar language; brief, occasional outbursts; or more frequent use of mild profanity (e.g., terms like “damn,” “shit,” or “ass”) “

This classification does not apply to us .

Discord :

This is a first ! Our Discord history started as a 4 person group chat . It was called IMC Casuals . Once we hit the 10 person limit ( how it was at that time at least ) we created the Kids In The Hall discord server for our weeklies , along side the UCKITH and Araiguma websites . That was it . What you saw on the Discord last week , is what you saw almost FOUR years ago !

So the Discord has been undergoing a LOT of updates , as you may have noticed through the week . There are still more to come to improve things and tailor things to better suit the needs of those of us who are here , and those friends and fans from afar !

Gamesoft :

This is now exactly a new title announcement but does need to go here being so significant . Marvel V.S. Capcom Infinite is now running as ‘ MVC:I & Beyond ‘ ( Aka MVCI:B ) , more information can be found here

Do note this is listed as BETA and was specifically requested . Stylo should be able to answer any questions you may have being our Marvel General
