It's a very welcome overhaul of the first game without altering the essence of its wonderful platforming mechanics. In a sense, the revamp of the mission structure makes it feel more like GTA: Florence, but that's not a bad thing in my book. Without the obligatory information gathering missions, the flow and pace at which the story unfolds is much more dynamic, and more enjoyable. The city is wonderfully detailed, and the music is beautiful.

Hammer of the gods.

 So mum, is this game on rails? Or is it like Sin and Punishment where there is forced scrolling, but you can manoeuvre your character?

Mum, check out the top right corner. That's a radar, why would you need a radar in a forced scrolling game? It seems to be open, like all range mode in Star Fox.

Little daughter, perhaps you pivot on the spot.

 But my dear voluptuous step mum, we have footage of the main character walking forwards and even strafing sideways.

Stop fighting over me, children.  

Grandpa Steel, settle this.

(in a cage fight)

Vader against me in a MMA fight?

Wow, you really must hate Vader. What did he ever do to you?

No, Steel against you both.

Ah, I see! You gave me a huge handicap to make the fight a bit more fair.

That would start like a fight, but we would all end up touching each others' packages at the same time. .

Count me in!

Who fucked up the Zangeki No Reginleiv title?

Ehhhh, Japanese people, seeing as it is being release in Japan, hence the Japanese name.  

I'm talking about the title in the news bit posted here, crotch sniffer.

I'd wager, with the extensive wrestling training you have undergone throughout the years, that you have been subject to triangle chokes with some frequency, and thus, have smelled your fair share of men nether regions. At least enough to earn yourself the right to be called a crotch sniffer.

Is there a way to get out of a triangle choke? One that doesn't involve biting your opponent's balls?

Most wrestling styles do not teach triangle chokes or any other kinds of submissions. There are some submission wrestling styles, the most famous being Catch Wrestling. The history stretches back to the 19th century on both sides of the Atlantic. Travelling around and challenging the audience in a no holds barred wrestling match. No holds barred meaning that all choke holds and submissions are allowed. 

To become very effective in stopping challenger the catch wrestlers learned many different kinds of submission holds that could end a fight in seconds. They also learned various moves from various different ethnic group, each bringing their own techniques from various different wrestling styles. 

Interesting history, I will make a blog about it in the future.

But my point was going to be that I do not have a wrestling background. I have a Ninpo background. My style has weapons, striking, take downs and ground fighting. So basically MMA + dirty illegal moves, weapons and black clothes.

Escaping a triangle choke. Biting does not actually work. The best way is to not get caught in one. But there are ways to escape it. The most spectacular one is this
