DELETED because Bugs said I didn't have to do it.
Thanks buddy. You didn't have to
___
Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu
Oh in that case I'm going to delete the above commment
I'm going to take a walk to get some coffee. I will be back around 9AM in case anyone (ROBIO)
wants to play a little Super Street Fighter IV.
(Subtle enough for ya?)
Subtle but yes I got the hint. I'll be online around 9 then.
Woo!
I see SOMEONE (ROBIO) got Arcade Edition!
That was AWESOME ! ! !
I especially liked the part where you got all oiled up and jumped on top of me when I was laying down on the ground on my belly!
I can't believe you beat me with DAN ! ! !
** RRRRAAAAGGGGEEEE ! ! ! ! **
I was less fond of all the times you kept flinging old man balls at my face.
Don't feel too bad about that. When Alpha originally came out and I learned the secret to unlocking him I almost exclusively used him. They've made him worse with each installment since but I always make it a point to practice with him and get competitive as his useless ass holds a special place in my heart.
...and now, after getting my ass handed to me in Street Fighter, I need to go to the store and see about some Monster High dolls. I need to find Laguna Blue or Claude Wolf. They are for my god-daughter for her b-day. First, I get my ass kicked by Dan, and now I will go buy some dollies!
Found this on Gaf and I think Robio would appreciate it so:
~Ode to the Cosplay Thread~
By Retro
I wish I had a Cosplay Girl,
in outfights extra tight.
To dress up just like Aerith;
I'd impale her every night.
She could be my Slave Leia
(a theme that's never old)
and since she's such a trooper,
never bitch the armor's cold.
I wish I had a Cosplay girl,
though crazy in the head,
I'd be the envy of the fanboys,
since they're crazy in the bed.
Cosplay girls are shameless,
dressed in leather and vinyl sleek,
my fantasies aren't final
since she's a new one every week.
I'm not a fan of anime,
I've never watched a one.
But with tons of slutty outfits,
I can see how they'd be fun.
So I wish I had a Cosplay Girl;
a mage, a knight, an elf.
Because playing with a cosplay girl
beats playing with myself.
Has anybody seen Sucker Punch here? Pretty cool movie, I was surprised.....and the chicks are fucking hot.
This girl is my favorite one. Normally, I'm not big on girls who don't have lips, but she pulls it off in a Meg Ryan kind of way.
^ I have it in my Netflix queue. Hopefully, they'll send it to me this week.
I didn't know the director was the guy who did 300 and Watchman until I was about to watch it, and you can definitely tell from the cimematic camera work, and the way he does the combat....very similar to 300. And the story is just fucked up. Good shit.
I liked Sucker Punch. Simple, dumb, nonsensical fun. What could be deep plot elements are tacky and shameless, as they should be.
I've been playing Doom 3. It still holds up visually. I hope Doom 4 has the same clean visual style, just better (and better gameplay).
Of course the best part is the shadows which you can't appreciate in stills but oh well, I like the graphics regardless, it's good stuff.

I can't get good action shots because I panic and shoot them in the face with the shotgun instead.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Playing Other M, I find it kind of ironic that Team Ninja makes this side scroller old school Metroid game, while Retro Studios, the modern Metroid team, go and make an old school side scrolling Donkey Kong game of all things at the same time.
Obviously Retro have the skills to make a game like this, so its kind of funny that they didn't want to make an old school Metroid game. But I guess they just wanted to work with different assets for once. Can't say I blame them. I can't wait to see what they're doing on Wii 2, and I'm hoping Team Ninja makes another Metroid for it.
Glad you like it, it's a flawed game but has production values out the wazoo, for a Wii game, that alone makes it nice to see through to the end. Combat is fun too even though in the end there's not much skill or strategy to it (outside using missiles when you're supposed to or performing a couple neat tricks that finish foes off faster) with how random, limitless and so prone to abuse the dodging mechanic is. I never got the hate for the game.

So what have all you Kids been playing this weekend?
Me:
This weekend's been all about Bastion.
...with about 35 minutes of Street Fighting with Robio!
