Aw, man! I thought Travo was back!

Turned out it was just TWEWY/SSFIV-hating Ask somehow getting lost in and then escaping the Phantom Zone.

Leo, you have to read my whole blog before you accuse me of hating Super SFIV!

Of course I don't hate Super SFIV! It's my favorite fighting game of all-time which I clearly stated in the blog!

If you skim through the blog than you'll get the wrong impression. But if read the whole thing, you'll understand...hopefully.

I love the game! Not hating at all!

Yeah, when I saw that pic on IGN, went back to GG's 1Up page. Some of that old GG Weekly stuff is still there. It's awesome to go back and see it again.

Thanks to them fixing the security problem we had to harass them over, you can go back and see the monstrosity that was the JavaScript code I inserted to transform the page.  You can even see the quoting XD  280 comments on one blog post

I'm so fucking fucked with gaming right now. I'm fucked with FF5. Stuck on a multi level boss and having to level and had to give up Lost Planet because it was too hard.  Now playing Mirror's Edge, which is satisiying, but also giving me trouble.  I think I need a gaming break for a day.

Saw Some Like it Hot on the TV.  I think that would be a pretty good game.

Read my Lost Planet review. Its ass easy......you can actually run through most of the game without fighting ANYTHING! They just make it appear that you have to fight your way through the game with endless swarms of dudes but most of them are just there to show off how many enemies can fill the screen as an early 360 game.

Some of the boss fights are tough, but nothing you haven't seen before in any number of other Capcom games.

I got stuck on the lady in the mech in that broken-down warehouse.  I tried it about ... I don;t knwo it would have to have been more than 20 times over two days, easily, and in the end it was just too frustrating to keep doing the same boss battle time and time again.  I'll give it another try after I'm done with Mirror's Edge -- some time away from it might open my eyes to another strategy.

Story above about Game Crazy shutting down -- good.  All the ones I went to had poor used stock (all ex-rental), clueless staff and very little discounting.

The ones in my US hometown shut down in 07.  Too bad for the people losing their jobs though

One fewer game-specific shop, even if they suck, I'd still plug as a negative, unless they were specifically malicious in some capacity.  Just something to counter-balance GameStop a little.
