Explain please.
Yeah, that was me! Sorry about that, I thought it was Vader hyping RE5 again. He frequently makes RE5 news gold, especially trailers with Wesker in it.
But none of the 67 updates were Street Fighter 4 Review and God of War 3 news!! You bring shame to the Juggernaut name. And right after I promoted you to a new Juggernaut. Tsk, Tsk!
I can't delete
I replaced it with a google link.
Yeah I downloaded that RE5 trailer of Marketplace and have watched it 3 times already. It's awesome alright. The battle between Chris and Wesker is going to be fan-fuckin'-tastic. I'm so dieing to get this game already.
Seconded.
Okay after watching the Ghost Whisperer, I finally found out the meaning of Yarco's picture
It's the Line-crossing ceremony. A ceremony sailors have to take when they first cross the equator.
See wiki for more info
WTF is Rikimaru doing to this unconscious guard?!
His name is Riki Maru not Ricky Martin!
I thought this game was M, not AO!
It's only AO if they make eye contact, remember?
Wrong, I found them all on Sherdog. There was a Fedor Emelianenko PICTURES THREAD
Sherdog is one of few places where men get more picture threads than women. Sexiyama has a huge one for example and Fedor has multiple ones.
Look they even have a picture of Fedor being drunk
I can't explain why in "The Witcher' but imagine if Zelda or Mario and advanced A.I. enemies. Zelda would be annoying as it would take forever to kill enemies, and Mario well imagine jumping on goombas just so they can strafe away quickly and run toward and kick you.
One of the site's forefathers.
That would actually be pretty cool.
What does Jennifer Love Hewitt's boobs have to do with that?
I'm sorry, I try to contain my language unless it is absolutely called for but what...the... fuck...

This is enough for me to lay off Activision games for a while. I mean seriously, what the hell are they talking about?
An Activision Blizzard rep declined to comment. But EA has responded with its claws bared, giving me this rather pointed response:
Me-ow.
Fuck yeah, me fucking too.
Fuck those stupid cunt-ass fuckers. Who the fuck do they think they are trying to get money out of a company they fucking kicked to the curb? Activision have become the most annoying company in gaming. They musy have some real asshole money-grubbing suits working there now.
**Read it and weep, ladies and gentlemen, as this story DOES NOT have a happy ending!**
I'm just a little bit excited for Street Fighter IV. Have I got that point across in my topic yet? I played SFII to death back in the 90's and have played and loved every, single Street Fighter since. I have been waiting for the series to reach numeral 4 for what seems like FOREVER.
My anticipation has grown such that I cannot turn on my PS3 without saying to myself: "It's not SFIV, so... meh!" and then turning it off. I can hardly wait a minute more. I've been holding off even playing HD Remix; even though it would have been the PERFECT way to pass the time. Between the FightPads NOT being readily available --PLUS-- my dislike for the Dual Shock for games like this, my motivation to play just wasn't there.
Everything SHOULD have been remedied when I got my Ken FightPad earlier this week. I plugged it in, tried it out and then came here immediately to give a glowing review... Life has been busy for most of this week, so I told myself: "Once the weekend gets here, I'll start playing Remix to hone my skills for 4 and ease my anticipation a bit."
So the stage is set. I got my FightPad. I have the next 9 days off. I settled in this evening for some quality time with HD Remix. I was determined to happily play the next few days away 'til I could waltz into GameStop and pick up my pre-order...
So I start playing. One or two battles. Feels great. Pulling off moves without a hitch. Great button placement, layed out in the same fashion as the arcade buttons. Intuitive; know exactly where Weak, Medium and Fierce are without having to think. Cammy goes down. Ryu goes down. Blanka goes down. Feeling good. T. Hawk throws me... Did I just take a few extra steps after I got up or was that my imagination? Shrug it off and continue playing. Fei Long falls. Chun Li puts up a good fight... but... why are my commands suddenly not registering as well as they were a minute or two ago?
Stop for some dinner.
Go back to play again. Go to Medium Special Kick with Ken; it connects but he definitely takes a few extra steps this time. So, it WASN'T my imagination! Uh-oh. Continue playing, fighting Ryu, jump in deep with a medium kick; it connects and Ken keeps on walking to the right. I let go of the control pad. Ken KEEPS on walking to the right.
Fast forward an hour or so later. Ken is now walking to the LEFT continuously and the controller is not responding to any other buttons or input. I press the home button, it flashes red for a few seconds and fails to connect to the USB dongle. I turn my PS3 off. Turn it back on. I play for less than a minute and the dongle is getting confused once more. I switch to another port. Defective USB port? Nope.
Mad Catz strikes again.
This controller is crap.
In a game that requires utter precision and speed in input, there is ABSOLUTELY NO MARGIN for error. Apparently, I made a grave error in trusting Mad Catz to make a reliable product.
I Googled "Defective FightPad" and found a few entries already. I suspect this is ONLY due to the fact that only a handful of people have been able to locate PS3 pads as of today. There are even some complaints of the 360 pads getting "stuck" or feeling generally "mushy."
Ergonomically, the controller is fine. It's a good weight. The rubber makes it easy to grip and comfortable. The buttons seem fine, the floating D-Pad makes move incredibly easy to pull off... but it all means NOTHING if the signal isn't reaching the PS3 properly!
I would be lying if I said this hasn't lessened my excitement for 4 a bit. There's no way in hell I'll be able to compete with all of you that have sticks now. I mean, I'm not great, but now I am severely handicapped!
Had Mad Catz NOT taken the cheap way out and made this a Bluetooth product, I feel this would not have been an issue. As it stands now, I would bet money that this is going to be a widespread and consistent issue with the PS3 pads. It may not seem apparent at first, but watch for the signs. Whether this was a case of simple interference from another electronic device or the Dongle is just simply cheap and shoddy, I don't know.
What I DO know is GameStop took back all 4 pads of mine without question.
I hope I am wrong about this. I hope you all saved your receipts just in case.
Please report any issues you have --OR-- certainly if you have a positive story --OR-- suggestion as to other control options. Right now I am mostly all ears, with just a bit of a broken heart in there, as well.
Don't tell me.
Well that's what matters. So where from here? What else is out there -- the Hori Soul Calibure stick right?
Damn that sucks Leo. Glad they took back you're pads so nicely though. I was thinking of getting one of those pads for the 360 as they looked pretty cool and I figured the d-pad would be better then the stock 360 controller so I could use it for other games. I think I'll pass on getting one and just try to hunt down a stick whenever I can. I'm still getting Street Fighter IV though of course.
If I remember correctly I think you go by how "badarse" your Darkness tendrils are. So if they're not looking very tough then you're running low on darkness energy, and if you can't use them then obviously you've run out completely. Something like that. Hold out for the WWI areas. I thought they were absolutely brilliant.
I can live with that. Actually, really looking forward to it now!
