Awesome. Looks like Devil May Cry's
older, more cynical brother.
I hope the game doesn't begin like the manga... with
demon-lovemaking-turned-murder.
Man, I never get tired of
watching that.
(Tabcef) it begins with him fighting a big snow monster
named snow man
starts off in the snow storm chapter, ends with the berserker armor chapter
berserker armor is insane in the game, makes him have completely new moves that
are pretty awesome (read: fast, powerful, cool looking)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGKY5ztdRFg
(Tabcef) man this dude got the arm cut counter off way too
late
zodd grabs him own arm and swings it around at you and then puts it back on
I would get into Berserk. But it's a
tad too expensive for me at the moment.
Late, but

Coincidentally, I saw the
Thriller music video for the first time two days ago. That boy was so full of
promise. Sad how it turned out.
I'm looking forward to Ghostbusters this month. I might not play it for a
while, but I'm looking forward to it anyway.
I was such a Ghostbusters fiend in
my youth that it's not even funny.
Wanna embarass Ace? All my family has to do is bring that up with details and I
shrivel up and die.
Ecto Cooler was your favorite
drink, wasn't it? Not that I would blame you, that stuff was cash.
Naw. The stuff was nasty. I
preferred and still prefer sour stuff over the odd-tasting junk. Lemonade and
lemon Arizona forever, man.
Whaaaaaat?! You're honestly the
first person that's told me they didn't like Ecto Cooler.
I tried it and it did not click with
me.
Wow. MtG changed. That's gonna
ruffle some feathers.
(Tabcef) "do your worst, a hole."
throws soldier into the stratosphere
"oh god! kill me, but don't consume me! please!"
powerbombs soldier from a skyscraper
(Tabcef) get off me! you won't get me!
it's him! shoot him!
please, please don't shoot me! oh god!
i dunno man, should i shoot?!
what should we do?!
BANG BANG
...
look man, it's not your fault. there's no way you could've known
(Tabcef) the whip fist also works like a grappling hook, oh
my god
both ways too
drag things towards you
drag you towards things
(Tabcef) true crime streets of la is a game where you shoot
magical hookers and ancient chinese dragons
they need to mix true crime with prototype
(Tabcef) every single person in the 100 years war is a huge
ass
which makes bladestorm an even greater game because it makes a serial rapist
and killer into some kind of kind person instead of the gigantic dick he was
(Tabcef) seriously gilles de rais is awesome
and by awesome i mean he is a perfect representation of his time
(Tabcef) the guy from wolfenstein has an amazing name
b.j blazkowicz
also the new wolfenstein looks terrible
the only thing that could redeem it is mecha hitler's glorious return
(Tabcef) really they should just combine every single 2d
first person shooter
doom nukem: blood of the shadow warrior of marathon 3d
man i hope doom 4 isn't like doom 3.
or quake 4.
i hope doom 4 is like some kind of insane serious sam-style game with rockin
graphics and a nonstop guitar soundtrack
i mean seriously doom 3 didn't even have a e1m1 remake on it.
(Tabcef) the doom guy runs at 50 miles per hour
he is the greatest fps protagonist ever.
DYNAMITE!
(Tabcef) oh my god
he runs at 120 mph.
one hundred
and
twenty
miles per hour
MIGHT MAKES LIGHT
(Tabcef) All I want is to put an end to the sadistic people
that wronged me. I think my sister is in danger.
Now in Central Park, I turn my right arm into a shield made of guts. Sticking
to the sidewalks, I plow into a mass of humanity at 100 miles per hour, never
slowing in the slightest even as scores of civilians connect with my gut shield
with enough force to send their lifeless bodies sprawling through the air.
When the sidewalk comes to an end before a stone wall, I turn around and do it
all over again.
I don't think anyone can understand what I'm going through. They did some kind
of experiment on me. They had no right. This is about justice.
Disguising myself as a soldier, I slip into a squadron of U.S. Marines
unnoticed.
"There!" I bellow, pointing a finger at an old woman walking by.
"That's Mercer, he's disguised!"
The soldiers open fire. When the body is inspected, I shrug, then point at a
man in a business suit.
"That's Mercer! Right there!"
Still in disguise, in plain view of the soldiers, I run up the side of a
building and fall ten stories. After I land, I point at another old woman,
identical to the first victim.
"Mercer!"
I run up the wall again as they unload their rifles on another innocent person,
then jump off and glide toward a timed race that I see in the distance.
I'm Alex Mercer. All I want is justice.
I want that game so bad that I can
taste it...
It taste like burning. and blood... lots of blood.

(Tabcef) why isn't slayer in blazblue
(Tabcef) The action, as you'd expect, is impossible to follow, with long stretches cascading in on one another without the slightest notion of who's winning, where, and to what end. But that's not why it's bad. It suggests that the evil robots have perfected Terminator technology in the manufacture of a gorgeous slut-bot (Isabel Lucas), who, before trying to kill the returning Sam (Shia LaBeouf) with her go-go-gadget tongue, is humiliated by having heroic Autobot Bumblebee money-shot robot semen all over her face.

Something has creeped me out in Persona 4. I was fusing some particularly
powerful Personas together and I ended up with Satan.
Friggin' Satan. He's not a powerhouse, but he is extremely creepy since his
body mass is bigger than anything else I've ever summoned. I've got Thor, Loki,
Asura, and some of the more powerful angels and I haven't even batted an eye in
wonder. Satan freaked me out though.
Shin Megami Tensei is strange sometimes.
What other series endorses suicide imagery(Persona 3) and canabalism(Digital
Devil Saga).

dance. also things seem to randomly explode around them (???)

See the Air Gear manga.
You'll prolly find what you seek. Lots of different gangs and no reason as to
their creation half the time.

Oh, and I have begun to wonder. Is everyone but a few of us catching the
idiocy? I've seen a lot of antisocial BS on the boards here that I've seen out
on certain boards and a couple other places where people don't have names like
us nutcases at gamefaqs do.
I saw a guy heckle someone and try to base him for asking a question... on a
board meant for game discussion. Not a social board like us. A regular game
board. I know trolling is par for the coaurse, but jeez, he annoyed me and I'm
practically Ghandi in real life unless you put your hands on me.
I'm seeing an increase in and and I've realized something.

Wow, the 2010 MtG set is different

gone. My stongest stuff from years past is no longer usable. I don't know
whether to be sad about that or happy that they made whole new stuff.
(Tabcef) i seriously wish that fallout 3 had more mods

the closest thing i can find to anything related to final fantasy seven is the

I really wish I had some money to

(Tabcef) how to be a racist caricature with andrew Zimmerman

My younger cousin just scared the
living hell outta me. He asked me how do you fix a Red Ring of Death... It was
just a hypothetical question, but it unnerved me. The first 360 I bought had to
be replaced with my Arcade on the day I bought it 'cause that second-hand
refurbished thing red-ringed.
I know it's not contagious in any manner, but I was ready to believe Friez's
old theory that there was some sinister force wrecking my electronics from the
inside. The chill of fear has woken me up from my Ghostbusters induced stupor.

(Tabcef) 1) The public option and exchanges will only be
open to:
a) very small businesses who employ 10 people or less
b) people who have no access to health insurance through their employer
Q: Are spouses and children of employed persons with an employer based option
required to purchase the employer plan? What happens if someone loses their job
and can't afford to continue a plan they like through COBRA - will they be
forced to buy their spouse's available plan regardless of its cost and
coverage?
2) Assistance to small businesses from the government to pay for employee
insurance is limited to companies with a combined payroll of up to $400K per
year.
3) The public option will first be available in 2013.
4) The Secretary of HHS will perform a survey of self-insured employers to
determine if they are acting responsibly and retaining enough funds to pay benefits.
(this could be good - protecting employees - or bad - forcing troubled firms to
pay for more expensive private coverage). Typically, only very large companies
self-insure. These plans tend to be very generous in terms of benefits compared
to privately purchased plans.
5) The bill will provide subsidies up to 400% of the federal poverty line, up
to $43,320 for individuals and $88,320 for a family of four. For these people,
premium costs will be capped at 11% of adjusted gross income. Out of pocket costs
will be capped at an additional $5000. For those just over the subsidy line,
they could spend up to about 25% of their income annually for premiums and out
pocket costs.
a) However, the $5000 out of pocket cap includes "deductibles,
coinsurance, copayments, and similar charges but does not include premiums or
any network payment differential for covered services or spending for
non-covered services." If your preferred doctor/hospital is out of
network, or let's say you have a regional health plan and have an accident on
vacation while "out of network", the $5000 cap doesn't apply.
b) Note that many typical, crappy, health care plans today often have in/out of
network caps, but this bill doesn't require one.
6) If you earn up to 133% of poverty, you qualify to be placed in Medicaid, or
receive subsidies to offset private insurance. Your premium expense will be
limited to 1.5% of income.
(Tabcef) Congressional aides said about 9 million people would be insured by the public plan, with 21 million insured by private companies in the exchange by 2019

i mean, not weird, just sexy, kinda.

she's got this whole 'beautiful mind' thing.
oh man. sure. all in good time.
nah, you'll get to meet her.
she's just got some stuff to get together right now.

Frieza: Happy birthday my fur-clad friend. I'd have mixed you up something a
little more special, but apparently I've spent the last several weeks exploring
lower levels of consciousness. If anyone needs me I'll be in the attic
cataloging the number and variety of penguins that seem to have taken up
residence in the space between my brain and my left eye.
Happy belated birthday dude!

Wow. I just got the joke that Penny
Arcade made about Warcraft 3. Admittedly I am late to the party, but my
Starcraft approach(overwhelming Air Superiority) ain't working here. I tried
battlenet for kicks and lo and behold. It's filled with morons.
My record and number are clean with no online games. I'm essentially new. A
newbie. No prior experience and yet there was no sort of question asking or any
sort of time to say, "oh this guy builds slowly in a chaotic manner. He's
never played a human being in this game before. Maybe I should chill and ask
for some of the resources he has since we're on the same side."
No. I get the derisive BS I expect from 13-year olds on a Halo server hopped up
on sugar.
I'm chill. I'm not mad. I'm just saddened by this. I made no excuses. I made no
threats. I just left when someone who was crying at me got swarmed.
I'm just gonna play with friends from now on. People I know who aren't trolls
or idiots.
Pardon me. I'm going to get a beer and then play Street Fighter 4 on Survival.

Who knew the worst stomach pain
of my life would come from constipation? I didn't.
(MidnightJade21) Aw, poor Mag. I have seen enough cases to
know that's not fun.
The cure for constipation is water. Lots of water and fiber and exercise and
pray it doesn't become impacted. That would be bad....
That's also for prevention so, keep it up.
Sorry but I couldn't resist the advice. I graduate in two years with my RN and
have cared for patients with constipation. Sadly, it gets worse as you get
older.
Hope you get to feeling better. AND DRINK YOUR WATER. :)

My gaming PC is finally finished.
Me gusta mucho.
The SPA site has been
transferred to Tripod. Editing existing pages is going to be a pain now; since
I can't find any webpage editors that can handle the format Geocities used I
have to use notepad to edit the html. So, uh, if anyone wants me to make any
major changes to the layout you have until the end of next month (when
Geocities closes) and then I'm pretty much done.
(Tabcef) more games need to have you starting out as some
crappy generic moron before letting you be the main character who is awesome
spicy move
(Tabcef) i came back from space
Geez. geocities is going away.
That's annoying.
Well. There might be a webcomic template you can use, but damned if I know how
to make it or where to obtain one.
I'll do some digging and see what I come up with.
So wait I'm confused what's
happening with the SPA site and why can't I find it to procrastinate and be
nostalgic at the same time?
Old site:
http://www.geocities.com/spa_comics
New site: http://spa-comics.tripod.com/index.html
When I tried to access the new site a minute ago it didn't find it...but after
I logged in it works. I'll check it again later. Also note that all of the
images have been moved to imageshack, which sometimes forgets they exist, so if
you see a broken image just wait a bit and try again.
Ace, I can make new pages with no problem. It's editing existing pages that I
have to do manually. For example, if I want to add something to the update page
I have to change the coordinates of every other block of text (they're all defined
as tables) to move them down to make room for the new one. I could probably
devise a regular expression in Notepad++ to do it for me, but it's still extra
work. Not that big a deal though; I won't be adding much but a few links to
comics or something.
(Tabcef) there we are, you and me.
why did you do that?
or..
why did i do that?
you made my dream come true.
i asked you for it.
i promised you something in return and i haven't delivered it yet.
you win, i lose.
unless..
the path you've set me on
is full of hurdles
where the answer comes before the question.
ah!
yeah. i do that.
now i know why.
it's the cure, from what i've seen here.
it all makes sense.
it makes sense for those who understand.

I finally figured out how Tripod works. The actual new site url is
http://spa-comics.tripod.com/spa-comics. Ace, your old site seems to be broken.
I think tripod just updated something that changes how urls work. Maybe you
should refile yours.
Oh, no. I'm just rebuilding the
site. One page at a time. The front page is getting something of an overhaul.

Weeeee. You're all still here. And
so is the SPA website. Dayum. I'm pleased that I spent time playing around with
pixels during that time. I make money off it now. And I am frankly surprised
that I can collect what I do for them. o_o Made $72 in just a few hours last
week. So thank you SPA!
No, you don't get a cut.
Damn... But we need the beer money,
MAN!!!
Ok then, at least let us have
the drinking bird.
(Smack!)
I mean, uh, at least let us see some of your work. Actually, I'm making a game

Beautiful graphics, whimsical style, and platforming. This is the kind of game
we need to see more of.
Definitely the kinda thing I like,
Friez. Has that same sort of style that Muramasa and Odin Sphere have going for
them.
Hell, If I ever made a game, it'd have to be a platformer or an action-RPG in the
similar vein.
Hopefully such a game makes it from development to the download soon. I'm gonna
be spending a whole lot more on games like Castle Crashers, Dishwasher: dead
samurai and the like than on the super new stuff. Only about two or three games
pique my interest this season. Scribblenauts, Halo ODST, and Assassin's Creed
2. Maybe Modern Warfare 2 if I have time.
They don't make nearly enough quality platformers anymore. Or quality 2D games
for that matter.

To articulate what is past does not mean to recognize “how it really was.” It
means to take control of a memory, as it flashes in a moment of danger. For
historical materialism it is a question of holding fast to a picture of the
past, just as if it had unexpectedly thrust itself, in a moment of danger, on
the historical subject. The danger threatens the stock of tradition as much as
its recipients. For both it is one and the same: handing itself over as the
tool of the ruling classes. In every epoch, the attempt must be made to deliver
tradition anew from the conformism which is on the point of overwhelming it.
For the Messiah arrives not merely as the Redeemer; he also arrives as the
vanquisher of the Anti-Christ. The only writer of history with the gift of
setting alight the sparks of hope in the past, is the one who is convinced of
this: that not even the dead will be safe from the enemy, if he is victorious.
And this enemy has not ceased to be victorious.

Greetings ["parents"?] and congratulations to Kenyon's graduating
class of 2005. There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to
meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says
"Morning, boys. How's the water?" And the two young fish swim on for
a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes
"What the hell is water?"
This is a standard requirement of US commencement speeches, the deployment of
didactic little parable-ish stories. The story ["thing"] turns out to
be one of the better, less bull****y conventions of the genre, but if you're
worried that I plan to present myself here as the wise, older fish explaining
what water is to you younger fish, please don't be. I am not the wise old fish.
The point of the fish story is merely that the most obvious, important
realities are often the ones that are hardest to see and talk about. Stated as
an English sentence, of course, this is just a banal platitude, but the fact is
that in the day to day trenches of adult existence, banal platitudes can have a
life or death importance, or so I wish to suggest to you on this dry and lovely
morning.
Of course the main requirement of speeches like this is that I'm supposed to
talk about your liberal arts education's meaning, to try to explain why the
degree you are about to receive has actual human value instead of just a
material payoff. So let's talk about the single most pervasive cliché in the commencement
speech genre, which is that a liberal arts education is not so much about
filling you up with knowledge as it is about "teaching you how to
think". If you're like me as a student, you've never liked hearing this,
and you tend to feel a bit insulted by the claim that you needed anybody to
teach you how to think, since the fact that you even got admitted to a college
this good seems like proof that you already know how to think. But I'm going to
posit to you that the liberal arts cliché turns out not to be insulting at all,
because the really significant education in thinking that we're supposed to get
in a place like this isn't really about the capacity to think, but rather about
the choice of what to think about. If your total freedom of choice regarding
what to think about seems too obvious to waste time discussing, I'd ask you to
think about fish and water, and to bracket for just a few minutes your
scepticism about the value of the totally obvious.
(Tabcef) Here's another didactic little story. There are
these two guys sitting together in a bar in the remote Alaskan wilderness. One
of the guys is religious, the other is an atheist, and the two are arguing
about the existence of God with that special intensity that comes after about
the fourth beer. And the atheist says: "Look, it's not like I don't have
actual reasons for not believing in God. It's not like I haven't ever
experimented with the whole God and prayer thing. Just last month I got caught
away from the camp in that terrible blizzard, and I was totally lost and I
couldn't see a thing, and it was 50 below, and so I tried it: I fell to my
knees in the snow and cried out 'Oh, God, if there is a God, I'm lost in this
blizzard, and I'm gonna die if you don't help me.'" And now, in the bar, the
religious guy looks at the atheist all puzzled. "Well then you must
believe now," he says, "After all, here you are, alive." The
atheist just rolls his eyes. "No, man, all that was was a couple Eskimos
happened to come wandering by and showed me the way back to camp."
It's easy to run this story through kind of a standard liberal arts analysis:
the exact same experience can mean two totally different things to two
different people, given those people's two different belief templates and two
different ways of constructing meaning from experience. Because we prize
tolerance and diversity of belief, nowhere in our liberal arts analysis do we
want to claim that one guy's interpretation is true and the other guy's is
false or bad. Which is fine, except we also never end up talking about just
where these individual templates and beliefs come from. Meaning, where they
come from INSIDE the two guys. As if a person's most basic orientation toward
the world, and the meaning of his experience were somehow just hard-wired, like
height or shoe-size; or automatically absorbed from the culture, like language.
As if how we construct meaning were not actually a matter of personal,
intentional choice. Plus, there's the whole matter of arrogance. The
nonreligious guy is so totally certain in his dismissal of the possibility that
the passing Eskimos had anything to do with his prayer for help. True, there
are plenty of religious people who seem arrogant and certain of their own
interpretations, too. They're probably even more repulsive than atheists, at
least to most of us. But religious dogmatists' problem is exactly the same as
the story's unbeliever: blind certainty, a close-mindedness that amounts to an
imprisonment so total that the prisoner doesn't even know he's locked up.
(Tabcef) The point here is that I think this is one part of
what teaching me how to think is really supposed to mean. To be just a little
less arrogant. To have just a little critical awareness about myself and my
certainties. Because a huge percentage of the stuff that I tend to be
automatically certain of is, it turns out, totally wrong and deluded. I have
learned this the hard way, as I predict you graduates will, too.
Here is just one example of the total wrongness of something I tend to be
automatically sure of: everything in my own immediate experience supports my
deep belief that I am the absolute centre of the universe; the realest, most
vivid and important person in existence. We rarely think about this sort of
natural, basic self-centredness because it's so socially repulsive. But it's
pretty much the same for all of us. It is our default setting, hard-wired into
our boards at birth. Think about it: there is no experience you have had that
you are not the absolute centre of. The world as you experience it is there in
front of YOU or behind YOU, to the left or right of YOU, on YOUR TV or YOUR
monitor. And so on. Other people's thoughts and feelings have to be
communicated to you somehow, but your own are so immediate, urgent, real.
Please don't worry that I'm getting ready to lecture you about compassion or
other-directedness or all the so-called virtues. This is not a matter of
virtue. It's a matter of my choosing to do the work of somehow altering or
getting free of my natural, hard-wired default setting which is to be deeply
and literally self-centered and to see and interpret everything through this
lens of self. People who can adjust their natural default setting this way are
often described as being "well-adjusted", which I suggest to you is
not an accidental term.
Given the triumphant academic setting here, an obvious question is how much of
this work of adjusting our default setting involves actual knowledge or
intellect. This question gets very tricky. Probably the most dangerous thing about
an academic education--least in my own case--is that it enables my tendency to
over-intellectualise stuff, to get lost in abstract argument inside my head,
instead of simply paying attention to what is going on right in front of me,
paying attention to what is going on inside me.
As I'm sure you guys know by now, it is extremely difficult to stay alert and
attentive, instead of getting hypnotised by the constant monologue inside your
own head (may be happening right now). Twenty years after my own graduation, I
have come gradually to understand that the liberal arts cliché about teaching
you how to think is actually shorthand for a much deeper, more serious idea:
learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over
how and what you think. It means being conscious and aware enough to choose
what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from
experience. Because if you cannot exercise this kind of choice in adult life,
you will be totally hosed. Think of the old cliché about "the mind being
an excellent servant but a terrible master".
This, like many clichés, so lame and unexciting on the surface, actually
expresses a great and terrible truth. It is not the least bit coincidental that
adults who commit suicide with firearms almost always shoot themselves in: the
head. They shoot the terrible master. And the truth is that most of these
suicides are actually dead long before they pull the trigger.
(Tabcef) And I submit that this is what the real, no
bull**** value of your liberal arts education is supposed to be about : how to
keep from going through your comfortable, prosperous, respectable adult life
dead, unconscious, a slave to your head and to your natural default setting of
being uniquely, completely, imperially alone day in and day out. That may sound
like hyperbole, or abstract nonsense. Let's get concrete. The plain fact is
that you graduating seniors do not yet have any clue what "day in day
out" really means. There happen to be whole, large parts of adult American
life that nobody talks about in commencement speeches. One such part involves
boredom, routine and petty frustration. The parents and older folks here will
know all too well what I'm talking about.
By way of example, let's say it's an average adult day, and you get up in the
morning, go to your challenging, white-collar, college-graduate job, and you
work hard for eight or ten hours, and at the end of the day you're tired and
somewhat stressed and all you want is to go home and have a good supper and
maybe unwind for an hour, and then hit the sack early because, of course, you
have to get up the next day and do it all again. But then you remember there's
no food at home. You haven't had time to shop this week because of your
challenging job, and so now after work you have to get in your car and drive to
the supermarket. It's the end of the work day and the traffic is apt to be:
very bad. So getting to the store takes way longer than it should, and when you
finally get there, the supermarket is very crowded, because of course it's the
time of day when all the other people with jobs also try to squeeze in some
grocery shopping. And the store is hideously lit and infused with soul-killing
muzak or corporate pop and it's pretty much the last place you want to be but
you can't just get in and quickly out; you have to wander all over the huge,
over-lit store's confusing aisles to find the stuff you want and you have to
manoeuvre your junky cart through all these other tired, hurried people with
carts (et cetera, et cetera, cutting stuff out because this is a long ceremony)
and eventually you get all your supper supplies, except now it turns out there
aren't enough check-out lanes open even though it's the end-of-the-day rush. So
the checkout line is incredibly long, which is stupid and infuriating. But you
can't take your frustration out on the frantic lady working the register, who
is overworked at a job whose daily tedium and meaninglessness surpasses the
imagination of any of us here at a prestigious college.
But anyway, you finally get to the checkout line's front, and you pay for your
food, and you get told to "Have a nice day" in a voice that is the
absolute voice of death. Then you have to take your creepy, flimsy, plastic
bags of groceries in your cart with the one crazy wheel that pulls maddeningly
to the left, all the way out through the crowded, bumpy, littery parking lot,
and then you have to drive all the way home through slow, heavy, SUV-intensive,
rush-hour traffic, et cetera et cetera.
Everyone here has done this, of course. But it hasn't yet been part of you
graduates' actual life routine, day after week after month after year.
(Tabcef) But it will be. And many more dreary, annoying,
seemingly meaningless routines besides. But that is not the point. The point is
that petty, frustrating crap like this is exactly where the work of choosing is
gonna come in. Because the traffic jams and crowded aisles and long checkout
lines give me time to think, and if I don't make a conscious decision about how
to think and what to pay attention to, I'm gonna be pissed and miserable every
time I have to shop. Because my natural default setting is the certainty that
situations like this are really all about me. About MY hungriness and MY
fatigue and MY desire to just get home, and it's going to seem for all the
world like everybody else is just in my way. And who are all these people in my
way? And look at how repulsive most of them are, and how stupid and cow-like
and dead-eyed and nonhuman they seem in the checkout line, or at how annoying
and rude it is that people are talking loudly on cell phones in the middle of
the line. And look at how deeply and personally unfair this is.
Or, of course, if I'm in a more socially conscious liberal arts form of my
default setting, I can spend time in the end-of-the-day traffic being disgusted
about all the huge, stupid, lane-blocking SUV's and Hummers and V-12 pickup
trucks, burning their wasteful, selfish, 40-gallon tanks of gas, and I can
dwell on the fact that the patriotic or religious bumper-stickers always seem
to be on the biggest, most disgustingly selfish vehicles, driven by the ugliest
[responding here to loud applause] (this is an example of how NOT to think,
though) most disgustingly selfish vehicles, driven by the ugliest, most
inconsiderate and aggressive drivers. And I can think about how our children's
children will despise us for wasting all the future's fuel, and probably
screwing up the climate, and how spoiled and stupid and selfish and disgusting
we all are, and how modern consumer society just sucks, and so forth and so on.
You get the idea.
If I choose to think this way in a store and on the freeway, fine. Lots of us
do. Except thinking this way tends to be so easy and automatic that it doesn't
have to be a choice. It is my natural default setting. It's the automatic way
that I experience the boring, frustrating, crowded parts of adult life when I'm
operating on the automatic, unconscious belief that I am the centre of the
world, and that my immediate needs and feelings are what should determine the
world's priorities.
The thing is that, of course, there are totally different ways to think about
these kinds of situations. In this traffic, all these vehicles stopped and
idling in my way, it's not impossible that some of these people in SUV's have
been in horrible auto accidents in the past, and now find driving so terrifying
that their therapist has all but ordered them to get a huge, heavy SUV so they
can feel safe enough to drive. Or that the Hummer that just cut me off is maybe
being driven by a father whose little child is hurt or sick in the seat next to
him, and he's trying to get this kid to the hospital, and he's in a bigger,
more legitimate hurry than I am: it is actually I who am in HIS way.
Or I can choose to force myself to consider the likelihood that everyone else
in the supermarket's checkout line is just as bored and frustrated as I am, and
that some of these people probably have harder, more tedious and painful lives
than I do.
Again, please don't think that I'm giving you moral advice, or that I'm saying
you are supposed to think this way, or that anyone expects you to just
automatically do it. Because it's hard. It takes will and effort, and if you
are like me, some days you won't be able to do it, or you just flat out won't
want to.
(Tabcef) But most days, if you're aware enough to give
yourself a choice, you can choose to look differently at this fat, dead-eyed,
over-made-up lady who just screamed at her kid in the checkout line. Maybe
she's not usually like this. Maybe she's been up three straight nights holding
the hand of a husband who is dying of bone cancer. Or maybe this very lady is
the low-wage clerk at the motor vehicle department, who just yesterday helped
your spouse resolve a horrific, infuriating, red-tape problem through some
small act of bureaucratic kindness. Of course, none of this is likely, but it's
also not impossible. It just depends what you want to consider. If you're
automatically sure that you know what reality is, and you are operating on your
default setting, then you, like me, probably won't consider possibilities that
aren't annoying and miserable. But if you really learn how to pay attention,
then you will know there are other options. It will actually be within your
power to experience a crowded, hot, slow, consumer-hell type situation as not
only meaningful, but sacred, on fire with the same force that made the stars:
love, fellowship, the mystical oneness of all things deep down.
Not that that mystical stuff is necessarily true. The only thing that's
capital-T True is that you get to decide how you're gonna try to see it.
This, I submit, is the freedom of a real education, of learning how to be
well-adjusted. You get to consciously decide what has meaning and what doesn't.
You get to decide what to worship.
Because here's something else that's weird but true: in the day-to-day trenches
of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such
thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to
worship. And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god or
spiritual-type thing to worship--be it JC or Allah, be it YHWH or the Wiccan
Mother Goddess, or the Four Noble Truths, or some inviolable set of ethical
principles--is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive.
If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in
life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. It's the
truth. Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel
ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before
they finally grieve you. On one level, we all know this stuff already. It's
been codified as myths, proverbs, clichés, epigrams, parables; the skeleton of
every great story. The whole trick is keeping the truth up front in daily
consciousness.
Worship power, you will end up feeling weak and afraid, and you will need ever
more power over others to numb you to your own fear. Worship your intellect,
being seen as smart, you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the
verge of being found out. But the insidious thing about these forms of worship
is not that they're evil or sinful, it's that they're unconscious. They are
default settings.
They're the kind of worship you just gradually slip into, day after day,
getting more and more selective about what you see and how you measure value
without ever being fully aware that that's what you're doing.
(Tabcef) And the so-called real world will not discourage
you from operating on your default settings, because the so-called real world
of men and money and power hums merrily along in a pool of fear and anger and
frustration and craving and worship of self. Our own present culture has
harnessed these forces in ways that have yielded extraordinary wealth and
comfort and personal freedom. The freedom all to be lords of our tiny
skull-sized kingdoms, alone at the centre of all creation. This kind of freedom
has much to recommend it. But of course there are all different kinds of
freedom, and the kind that is most precious you will not hear much talk about
much in the great outside world of wanting and achieving.... The really
important kind of freedom involves attention and awareness and discipline, and
being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them over and
over in myriad petty, unsexy ways every day.
That is real freedom. That is being educated, and understanding how to think.
The alternative is unconsciousness, the default setting, the rat race, the
constant gnawing sense of having had, and lost, some infinite thing.
I know that this stuff probably doesn't sound fun and breezy or grandly
inspirational the way a commencement speech is supposed to sound. What it is,
as far as I can see, is the capital-T Truth, with a whole lot of rhetorical
niceties stripped away. You are, of course, free to think of it whatever you
wish. But please don't just dismiss it as just some finger-wagging Dr Laura
sermon. None of this stuff is really about morality or religion or dogma or big
fancy questions of life after death.
The capital-T Truth is about life BEFORE death.
It is about the real value of a real education, which has almost nothing to do
with knowledge, and everything to do with simple awareness; awareness of what
is so real and essential, so hidden in plain sight all around us, all the time,
that we have to keep reminding ourselves over and over:
"This is water."
"This is water."
It is unimaginably hard to do this, to stay conscious and alive in the adult
world day in and day out. Which means yet another grand cliché turns out to be
true: your education really IS the job of a lifetime. And it commences: now.
I wish you way more than luck.

Oh, the ones with the faces of a

are cherubim from Ezekiel. Did they have emerald wheels at their sides with
rims covered in eyes and move around without changing the direction they face?
(Tabcef) i really have no idea i just hit them until they

f, k, in the coffee
i knew i could count on that
it never fails
Frieza: I come here every
morning, without saying a word, sometimes without even grabbing a drink, and I
fly off to continue my journey. It's kind of like what I used to do before
coming to this city, but there's a significant difference. I come here every
morning. It's good to have a place to call home.
Home is wherever you can get drunk
and rowdy, and nobody'll call the cops... Wait.
So I went on this date the other

this game is amazing.
"HAH!!!"
SLAM!!!!
From nowhere a heavy keg falls from the ceiling onto the bar. Ace runs right up
to it and starts looking around frantically in his pockets.
"Where the hell are you?!"
Tosses out a skull, nineteen cents, a diamond, a live chicken, a zebra's leg
and a lawn gnome. But for some reason, he can't seem to find what he's looking
for. He glances longingly at the keg and sighs.
Then it hit him while running his tongue across his teeth.
He reaches back into his mouth and pulls out a long golden tap. How the hell it
fit in there is beyond anyone's imagining.
Triumphantly, Ace stabs the tap into the keg's side and produces a mug.
"Oh, yeah," he all but slavers, pouring himself a glass of green
alcohol. It isn't clear what it is, but the fumes coming from it are almost
enough to get someone drunk from halfway across the room.
With an insane smile, Ace chugs back the green liquid. Nothing happens at
first, then come the shakes and the green veins pulsing under his skin. He
falls over, laughing maniacally.
Shuddering he lifts himself back up to the bar.
"You okay?" Trunks asks.
"Couldn't be better, laddy," Ace lisps in an Irish accent, pouring
himself another glass.
(Tabcef) zach, i have a confession to make. it's really
embarassing, so don't tell anyone, okay?
i like the first two superman movies better than the first two star wars
movies.
That's fine. After all, there were
only two Superman movies and only 3 Star Wars movies.

same skull? that's just too much.
Just found out that Nujabes died.

(Tabcef) i am in a diner. and a diner is a place to eat! i almost forgot that basic fact.
(A stoic Frieza quietly but
forcefully marches in, walks straight up to the keg, pops the lid off, and runs
a questing finger over the bone dry bottom. He stares hard into the array of
bottles on the back wall while addressing the spiny anteater sitting beside
him.)
Frieza: You were supposed to save me some.
Ace: I did. But then you were five days late. The stuff loses its edge if you
wait too long, MAN.
Frieza: I suppose it is my fault. I've been working too hard...hmph.
(An resounding crack fills the bar as the total mass of the keg is transformed
into a cloud of splinters in a single psychic motion).
Frieza: Well then...
(Ace looks warily at his old friend as the ground begins to tremble. It is not
the signature trembling of a rising powerlevel, but an uneven, muffled
oscillation as of something moving beneath the ground. It grows louder until it
suddenly stops, a knock ringing from underneath several points of the concrete
floor. In a blink, Ace is thrown from his stool as giant flowers spring up
through the ground. Squinting through the beer he's spilled on his face, the
seasoned dimension traveler recognizes the colorful blossoms as native to South
Island.)
Frieza: I'll have to make up for it at Easter. It's been a while since I
concocted a new drink. I'll fashion it as an allusion to this planet's vernal
equinox. Something sweet would be a welcome change of pace. I'll be in the lab
if anyone needs me.
(Grabbing a fist full of flowers from the ground, a carton of eggs from the
fridge, a cage full of rabbits from behind the counter, and a bottle of bleach
from under the sink, he heads sanguinely into the back room).
(Magnus walks by and glances one of the flowers sticking out of the cement)
Magnus: Hey...I thought this place had a basem-

no end)

1300: I finish lunch and go to the local gas station. I pay the attendant $200
dollars for no real reason.
1315: I arrive at the convenience store to do some part-time work for a discount.
I purchase $240 worth of cigarettes.
2300: I visit the sheriff at home to ask whether he likes mustard or hot sauce.
I give him a flower, he gives me an emergency radio. I use the radio to demand

Chris? Wow. Been a few years
since I've seen you around. I figured you'd left the Internet.
Okay. I've seen Scott Pilgrim.
Goddamn, it was awesome. Freaking awesome. The action, the music, the plot, and
those little references... it was all great.
If you haven't seen it. Go SEE THIS MOVIE, MAN!!!
(chriscaffee) It's definitely been a while. I figured I'd drop in and see if you guys were still here.
Cool to see some Scott Pilgrim
talk! I'm a big fan of the books. The movie was good....just not book level of
awesome.
I guess we're as here as we've
been for the last 4 years. There's a few people missing but there's always been
at least one person absent at any given time, so that's nothing new. Anyway,
good to hear from you.
Ace's unusually exuberant endorsement prompted me to go see the movie (my roommate
was planning to go anyway so we went together). I give it a 'pretty awesome'. I
loved the style of the action scenes and wish there had been more. The music
was great, and the comedy was above par - I'm not a fan of that awkward stuff
that Michael Cera does, but even that got some laughs out of me this time.
There should've been more game references, though. That's the whole novelty of
the thing, and it felt like it was a few too short. Overall a good movie for
old-school gamers, but I wouldn't call it a must see.
I really recommend checking the
books out. The movie was good but the books were amazing and chock full of game
references.

I found Spud!
http://spudman2798.deviantart.com/gallery/#/dde2vp
His character's backstory was that he was Vegeta's long lost brother. In our
continuity it would be a Vegeta from a parallel dimension, like my Frieza.
Something apparently has him down recently though. Maybe I'll send him an
email.

[07:14:18 PM] Frieza2000XTC: I
wonder if this screen name will ring any bells...
[07:14:34 PM] spud2798: this mid?
[07:14:42 PM] Frieza2000XTC: Mid?
[07:14:46 PM] Frieza2000XTC: Nope
[07:14:52 PM] spud2798: not sure who you are
[07:14:57 PM] Frieza2000XTC: Think back. Way back.
[07:15:03 PM] Frieza2000XTC: Like 10 years back
[07:15:18 PM] spud2798: it's a bit blurred
[07:15:20 PM] spud2798: Marty?
[07:15:22 PM] Frieza2000XTC: I hardly expect you to remember me, but perhaps
there's a distant corner of your mind where you recall being a Saiya-jin named
Spud in a bar on the SASB and punching a guy named Frieza2000 in the face the
first night you met him.
[07:15:52 PM] spud2798: SASB?
[07:16:02 PM] Frieza2000XTC: Sonic Adventure Social Board, on Gamefaqs
[07:16:19 PM] spud2798: I was never on that board actually
[07:16:32 PM] Frieza2000XTC: Really? Could you be the wrong Spud?
[07:16:41 PM] spud2798: only gamefaqs boards I've ever been to are the lolBrawl
board and Calamity Trigger
[07:16:54 PM] spud2798: oh and Madden I suppose
[07:17:00 PM] spud2798: but never any Sonic forum

[07:18:14 PM] spud2798: that is my old ass drawing, but I really didn't go to

[07:20:28 PM] spud2798: I've never made a sprite other than my Deviantart
avatar
[07:20:50 PM] Frieza2000XTC: I know you didn't make it, but it was supposed to
represent you...or another Spud.
[07:21:03 PM] Frieza2000XTC: But you know Yoshindo...he was definitely on that
board
[07:21:17 PM] spud2798: I just met Yoshindo 2 years ago
[07:21:24 PM] spud2798: on the Brawl board lol
[07:21:33 PM] Frieza2000XTC: Oh man, what a coincidence
[07:21:44 PM] spud2798: definitely. I'm curious as to who used my picture lol
[07:22:07 PM] Frieza2000XTC: No, they never used that pic. It was just a guy
who RPed as a Saiya-jin named Spud
[07:22:24 PM] spud2798: oh
[07:22:27 PM] Frieza2000XTC: When I saw it on your deviantart (which I got to
through Yoshindo's page) I figured it had to be you
[07:22:49 PM] spud2798: yeah I never RPed with that character before XD
[07:22:53 PM] Frieza2000XTC: Saiya-jin's Club Bar and Grill? Saiya-jin
Protection Agency? It's really not you?
[07:23:05 PM] spud2798: nah, sorry that I can't help you with that
[07:23:10 PM] spud2798: never been in any of that stuff
[07:23:17 PM] Frieza2000XTC: That's amazing
[07:24:33 PM] spud2798: yeah
[07:24:53 PM] spud2798: quite a strange IM to receive honestly
[07:25:21 PM] Frieza2000XTC: Anyway, I did notice your journal entry about
having some major letdown or disaster and just wanted to give my support.
You're in my prayers.
[07:25:29 PM] spud2798: thanks, appreciated
[07:25:41 PM] spud2798: sorry that I wasn't the guy you were looking for lol
[07:26:11 PM] Frieza2000XTC: It's cool.
[07:28:02 PM] Frieza2000XTC: One last thing before I go. This won't mean as
much to you since you weren't there, but Yoshindo's in it so I figured I'd
share it anyway.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IVKLczFh6Q
[07:28:55 PM] spud2798: neato
[07:29:57 PM] Frieza2000XTC: Nice talking to you. Peace! Hope things work out.
[07:30:23 PM] spud2798: yep, thanks man. good luck finding that guy

Seems
like it's pretty good, Sonic on the rise again?
Indeed.
Someone slapped the right hands, restrained the right people and fired the
right yes-men.
On a whole other note...
I've come to a conclusion in Fable 3... The time has come to exercise just how
far a hero can fall. So, I'm going to take my goody-two-shoes Queen and
slaughter a whole village of people, then replace them all with poor folk from
the city. This'll be an interesting experiment to see what anyone's reaction in
the game will be.
So
apparently Toonami ended 2 years ago. I'd pretty much stopped watching TV by
then so I had no idea. There was a goodbye and everything. So in its memory I
went through a brief history of all the major events in the Toonami continuity,
and since I'm pretty sure these shows were a big part of all of our childhoods
I'm posting it. In retrospect, it was pretty awesome of them to build a story
around a programming block. TOM and SARA were a great couple of characters.

damn that is a sick ass burn.
(Tabcef) Ludwig: "I was
really inspired by the idea of examining society and politics in a more
primitive context, with the world's first government being set up during the
stone age. That combination of satire and sight gags is really going to work
for Rock Band."
Richard: "Coming of age stories have always intrigued me, the kind of film
where a young man finds out who he really is. And while he may not find love,
at least he can learn to love himself. With that in mind, I couldn't possibly
turn down Metro 2033."
JC: "I'd been looking for the right project to collaborate on with Robin
Williams -- and there it was. Tekken."
Richard: "I'm really turned on by the idea that there's this group of
teenagers -- and they have a dog -- that investigates haunted amusement parks
and start a traveling band ... did I say haunted? I mean amusement parks on the
brink of foreclosure. They rebuild the rides, slap on a new coat of paint and
then put on a concert, all in a peppy montage. And the best part: Alan Wake is
played by Robert Pattinson!"
JC: "A young man spends his whole life searching for his father, and when
he finally meets him on the battlefield in World War II, his dad only has time
to say one word before a mortar shell kills him: Dig Dug."
Griffin: "I have this idea for a Crash Bandicoot movie where a UN diplomat
falls in love with a New York meter maid. It really turns me on, that
idea."
Richard: "No one has ever really told the story of how the first labor
unions came about. My vision of Def Jam Rapstar will change that."
Ludwig: "Has anyone really wondered what kinds of pets aliens keep? No,
but they will once they see Metroid."
JC: "When I was eight, I was trapped in an elevator with a man who had
just mugged me. It was the most traumatic experience of my life. I think I was
able to tap into that feeling of fear when I was writing the script for Sonic
Spinball."
Dave: "It's all about this house cat who gets separated from his family
during a camping trip and stumbles upon a gateway into a fantasy world. Now
he's got to fight to get his family back. I'm calling it Bubsy 3D. It's going
to be in 3D."
JC: "I'm really jazzed by the idea that there's this Little League
baseball team that's made up of misfits and delinquents ... this group of kids
that really gets turned around by this new coach, you know? That vision is what
really attracted me to the Crackdown franchise."
Chris: "I love this idea that there's this high school science teacher
making these crazy experiments and, when some of the students sneak in at night
and accidentally travel back in time, they manage to completely mess up our
present. And that's why I'm so excited to be working on this adaptation of
Half-Life."
Richard: "Communist China is such a mysterious, closed off society, so I
couldn't say no to Bubble Bobble."
JC: "Three words: Kane. Lynch. Claymation."

Magnus: ...uh, Frieza? I think you may have had a few too many on your way to
the North Pole, because that's not Santa.
Frieza: Oh, I know. I figured we'd leave him alone again this year. The economy
is still down and the people need their Santa stimulus. But it's just not
Christmas without the muffled cries and tortured groans of a man in a plush red
suit, so I got us a department store Santa.
Magus: Since when do you care about the economy?
Frieza: A prosperous planet is a productive planet, and productive planets
usually sell for more if you can subjugate their people. Besides, I've
developed a certain nostalgia for some of the beers produced here. We can't
have Duff going out of business now can we?
(Sip a Duff, cringes slightly)

Ever since SFIV came out, hearing you guys
talk about fighting games and seeing some videos, I've realized that I've never
gotten really good at a fighting game before, except maybe the original Smash
Bros. I think I've got pretty good instincts, but I've never learned what moves
flow into each other aside from basic punch combos, at least not to the extent
I see the pros do it. So I've decided MvC3 is going to be the one. Heaven knows
I don't have the time to master it, but I'm going to at least make an effort.
Then, Ace, at long last, we will have our rematch...
Also, just checked in on AkumaTH. He wrote a backstory for Sub, merging him
with Mighty the Armadillo. Probably not part of our canon:
---
Subrosian was once Mighty, an Armadillo with supreme strength. He met Sonic and
Ray once when Robotnik captured the three on a Remote Island. With their
combined talents, they escaped and defeated Robotnik. He was captured once more
along side a Bee, a Chameleon and a Crocodile. While imprisoned, they formed a
friendship and decided to call themselves Team Chaotix. Knuckles soon found the
group and with their combined talents, they escaped and defeated Robotnik once
more.
Since then, he was never captured again by Robotnik, using his strength to
scare him away. He felt confident in his natural strength and felt that was all
he needed to protect people. That was until he accepted a challenge from Akuma.
Despite being stronger, Akuma handled Mighty easily and defeated him. This
opened his eyes, showing him that strength alone can only take you so far. He
decided to start over and train himself to be able to handle any opponent. With
this restart, he changed his name from Mighty to Subrosian.
With his new training, he has grown much stronger then he was originally. He
also has developed his own fighting style that helps him face any opponent.
Despite this, he continues to train himself after losing battles against the
Mages's Enforcers and against Silver Fox. He hopes to have rematches with them,
determined to win next time. Only Espio knows that Subrosian is Mighty, as he
made sure everyone do not compare him to his old life.

Also to smell you later.

just... bravo.
(Tabcef) 'man mvc2 is so fun but it's
so broken thank god they're trying to balance mvc3!!'
*gets beaten by a dude who has literally never played mvc2 before*
on the bright side
i learned why sentinel doom and storm are fun at even my ultra scrub level
just trying stuff in match videos like sentinel's mouth laser -> ~ROCKET
PUNCH~ -> hsf, literally anything with doom, jill summons, and most
importantly:
A
H
V
B
x
3
frieza:
you will lose, a lot
but that is natural, and probably frustrating
focus on learning things from the matches rather than just complaining
don't go 'ugh that's so CHEAP' just think about what you can do about it
(even if it is cheap, seriously ahvb is absolutely hilarious oh my god)
here is a video to get you excited
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVTdAOb54xI
(Tabcef) also i will fight you in
mvc 3 and destroy you!!
Heh, praise from
Ceasar. Thanks DP!
Tab, thanks for the tip. Much losing is expected. I think spamming broken moves
and combos takes the fun out of a fight, but that's also expected and may even
be something I end up having to resort to myself. What worries me is the assist
feature. Almost all of my MvC2 matches were against my brother and we almost
never used assist. Like, at all. So this is probably going to be a totally
different game for me. I'd have preferred to do a game where you only use one
fighter, but I wanted it to be one I was sure everyone I know was going to buy.
I've literally beaten people with my eyes closed using 3 sentinels.
(Im Not NEG) I doubt it'll be as
balanced as something like SSF4, is the problem. The VS series by nature has
always been simplified in some way to feel like more like a party game.
Not that it stopped me playing mvc2 to heck and back on the DC, of course.
Zero, Wesker and Phoenix, at this moment.
(Tabcef) watch this it will help you
understand the basics hopefully, watch all parts of it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFTvXXoDNRA
the talk on zoning in the video is super important. played blazblue:cs for the
first time at the same place i played marvel for the first time too, killed
dudes who had been playing for years and practicing and stuff because they had
no understand of the system or basics of fighting games, just how to do sick
ass combos(!!!) and just owned 'em by a character whose entire gameplay was
based on zoning (hakumans)
the metric of 'balance' is actually kind of bad, because 'balance' can mean
boring if the folks making the game don't care at all about how interesting the
actual gameplay is. super street fighter 4 is technically more 'balanced' than
marvel vs. capcom 2 but also far more boring because of the method of balancing
(take away options from characters, make them less interesting or weaker
overall) rather than making everybody stronger and more interesting to play.
the quote goes something like, 'it's not that you should nerf
sent/storm/mag/psy/cable, you need to make everyone as interesting and fun as
them to play'
if you really wanna even start learning throw the ideas of 'cheap combos and
moves' out of the window,
knowing how the system works is pretty important, don't just go 'oh god so
cheap but i win morally because i didn't use X cheap move', that's an excuse
for saying you suck in the same way folks who don't care to learn how to play
in ssf4 will use dan and go 'oh well i lost but it's dan so i still have
honor!!' or whatever
the only metric the game recognizes in your success is winning, so if you
actually care about getting better that's pretty much the easiest way to
recognize your progress
assists are literally what makes marvel 100% unique and not just boring
tag-team trash. gameplay isn't just about 'oh are these characters good i will
choose all 3 of them', but rather team synergy. the composition, order and
assists you choose all drastically change the match you will fight.
there was a post somewhere explaining this way better but i can't find it
p.s. if you can beat anybody with your eyes closed it's because they literally
don't know how to play beyond 'press button for shiny move', which is fine if
that's all you want. cable can kill sentinel off one hpx4-> (ahvb), and if
you're dumb enough to call an assist without covering it possibly 2 sentinels
at once since he's so huge
fighting games!!!!
(Im Not NEG) ...I'm amazed people
would take mvc2 seriously (that video), but then, I proved my point already by
20mins into the video (and checking every round thereafter). Kudos to the
commentators making something boring as heck sound interesting.
Same. Characters. Each. Freaking. Round.
I don't care how much harder Sagat hits compared to another character, I don't
care if Dan is a little weaker, on purpose, so that the skilled and those who
WANT to use him can prove how awesome they are by using him.
The idea of balance to 'me' is to be able to choose the characters I like and
know the game is fair enough to reward you for learning that character if you
choose to. Rather then know you're in a glorified disadvantage no matter what
you do with that character/set-up, like in mvc2, the line was so all over the
place it was just plain silly.
It also then results (to players like me) the fighter to be boring if you find
out only specific characters are being used at tournies. The so-called elitists
don't care, they'll always figure out some idiotic method of saying 'such and
such is higher tier lawl' but if tiering exists in ssf4, the bar isn't swinging
at 90 degrees both ways, I know that much, more like milimetres either side of
the line.
If mvc3 is like that, would be nice. If it isn't, enjoy the party game for
people who pretend it'll have depth and reward out of learning 'any' setup, it
won't.
I do have faith in Capcom not making the same mistake as with 2 though. But
they've stuck with 4 buttons rather then 6, making me think they're not going
to take it seriously, again.

(Tabcef) dude that's a money match
with $15k on the line of course they're gonna use the team they know.
(hint: there is actually a character change when neo realizes he doesn't know
how to use cyclops' assist)
not that pointing that out matters since you are using character variety as a
metric for interesting gameplay
do you actually have any how tiers are determined or what makes a matchup good
or bad
actually scratch that i know you don't since the idea of balance and involves
knowing how 2d fighting games work on even a base conceptual level (that is,
disregarding system gimmicks)
certain gameplay archetypes will always cause an imbalance, it's what make an
interesting game.
a dude who has a strong wakeup game (has lots of options on knockdown, ie:
akuma's vortex game) will always be good against someone who has no defensive
options on wakeup.
characters who have a slow walkspeed and no safe or reliable means of getting
close to the opponent will always be weak against characters with normals or
moves with long reach, high priority and low recovery (see: zangief vs. chun,
juri vs. gouken)
can you explain why hakan is the lowest tiered character in the game, but dan
is not despite dan being purposely designed to have mediocre-to-bad tools
(hint: it's not lower damage, dan actually does equal damage to the shotos, and
has completely different tools aside from his uppercut which does more than
sagat's)
variety is good, options are good. something like you described would literally
be impossible to be interesting gameplay wise, and you'd be hard pressed to
find an example of a game like that. ssf4 is boring because, as referred
earlier the gameplay is far less complex than mvc2 at high levels, meaning
there are fewer possibilities, less options, less risk, slower gameplay
(leading to less options due to more reaction fire), etc. if you only care
about aesthetics of a character without wanting or caring to know how the game
operates that's fine, but don't pretend like you have any knowledge about it.
actually i am bad at explaining this since i'm a scrub and have trouble
following the quick and huge amount of smart as hell play going on in most high
level fighting game matches nevertheless mvc2 so here's a copy and paste
instead that i think is a good response to the general attitude you have since
it's pretty common:
"Well honestly, the threads for other games aren't really dominated by
people not actually wanting to play the game. And I seriously mean "not
wanting to play the game" in the nicest way possible. The thing is,
fighting games are at the bare minimum two things: multi-player and
competitive.
They are inherently competitive in that the only real metric to see how good
you are at the game is to play against another human. Playing against a
computer does not matter, because fighting game AI is trash and doesn't even
pretend to mimic a person. But in this thread and most fg threads outside of fg
forums, people seem to be completely obsessed with trying as hard as possible
to avoid the actual game they are playing and just mash buttons.
Games have built in combo training now and replay viewers to make finding new
strategies easy for the player without needing to "go look up frame data
on the internet" or whatever the newest thing confused people think you
need to do to be good at fighting games. The issue is that some people are so
averse to the idea of competing in a fighting game that they assume that
everyone who enjoys to play them and get better at them is an ass.
When people play single player games they attempt to get better until they can
like beat a boss or clear a stage. In fighting games this doesn't exist; the
CPU boss is not playing the game with you, the CPU is reacting to what you do
inside of the game engine."
(Tabcef) damn thats a lot of words
to basically say 'you are bad at fighting games tia' in a nice way
(Im Not NEG) I got excited when the
sentences finally started using capitals after this many years. I am now happy.
And of course they're going to use 'their' characters at a tourny, it just so
happened to be the characters most told to be out of whack in the game for
years now. That's what made it funny if you hadn't realised! Hohoho.
SSF4 less then MVC2 at the top? What?
If you're honestly saying I'd be able to beat a team like Sentinel/Magneto/Dr
Doom with Megaman/Chun-Li/ServBot once learning all I can do with those 3
characters, at a competitive tournament level, I am amaze.
And of COURSE variation of character choice should be considered a game issue
for developers. A character like Zangief may have distance issues against
chun-li but it isn't a match decider. That's the whole point of proper balance,
that any one selection of character/s vs character/s isn't crap up the fan. It
also makes it more fun knowing this in a game like MVC since it's 3 on 3.
Tiering makes fighting games terrible, or perhaps the communities that play
them. One look at smash bros' 'FINAL DESTINATION, NO ITEMS, ONLY THESE
CHARACTERS' fan club makes me cringe and despair for the human race.
Don't call me a bad player, yo.
(Tabcef) you do understand that
tiering will always exist due to the nature of the how the entire genre is
designed
there will always be bad matchups
your concept of 'oh chun li has long reach therefore beats zangief' is both
wrong and laughable if you are offering that as proof of understanding anything
about what is going on in that match. even the statement on 'that's not a match
decider' is hilariously wrong because the matchup is something like 8-2 in
favor of chun.
that means that assuming both players are at the same skill level and competent
the tools that chun will make it so that she will win 8 out of ten rounds.
the fact that you referred to sent/mag/doom as a team is funny in it's own
right because that's not even a top tier team and has very little synergy at
all, showing your understanding of the game is literally nonexistant
and you are a Bad Player (tm) who does not care to understand or learn anything
about the game other than your hilariously wrong preconceptions based on
fifth-hand information. psst: single characters aren't as important as team
composition, and
if you don't enjoy the system or competition of fighting games beyond an
aesthetic level (once again), why are you complaining about things that would
only affect people who do care
fight me in 3s, i guarantee i can beat you with one button using the character
with the least health
(Tabcef) answer these questions:
who are the top tier characters?
why are the top tier characters top tier?
why is this character important on this team?
how is strider top tier?
ps you are a bad player who doesnt know anything about fighting games
(Im Not NEG) The team of characters
(and Cyclops) tend to be most used from what I've seen (from some play of the
xbla version) as well as general discussion on the forums. You cannot say that
isn't true, if you know as much as you say you do.
You also didn't seem to say I can win with the team I suggested.
I do not need to have played to the extent you evidently have to appreciate the
game more then I did. To me it was street fighter 'light'. 4 buttons, trigger
ultra combos, and hugely unbalanced characters, due to the vast amount of
characters available in the first place. Fun, but not a serious fighter to
'me'. That's been my opinion of mvc2 since the Dreamcast days, and I hope mvc3
won't be the same.
The rest of the post was general trolling and name calling, as well as, quite
frighteningly, defending the minority who sucks the fun out of smash bros.
If you enjoy that sort of thing, go ahead and play it. I simply stated what 'I'
ideally would/do enjoy out of fighting games, and what it would be nice that
they worked on/balanced.
I'd say I've played enough fighters over the years to know what I prefer,
thanks. I don't need a troll to bash me for my taste and opinion.
See you on mvc3, dude. (or add me for some ssf4)
Cheers
I'm not going to lie,
MvC 2 to me = trying to do the coolest looking move no matter how useless it
is. Actually, that goes for all fighting games...
(Tabcef) what's fun and what's not
fun is obviously subjective, and it's no mystery that competition is something
is 'fun' to a lot of dudes so i don't really see how they 'suck the fun' out of
ssb i mean unless they're all huge asses who enforce the rules on dudes who
don't care about playing that way and just wanna hit dudes with mario or
whatever
most of the competitive ssb players i've met are ultra chill though
funny thing is i'm 100% certain you have sunk more time into marvel vs. capcom
2 than i have, because i have literally only played it once for an hour
recently, i just know some stuff based on match videos and readin' discussions
on mvc3 (actually this very same kind, but even more inflammatory believe it or
not) alongside loving fighting games enough to understand some ultra basic
concepts that apply universally to all of them
also just to correct the team info since i am being a huge ass,
the god tier is actually mag/sent/storm/cable i think, not doom. doom's 'high'
tier, alongside cyclops and a bunch of other characters but not really in the
same category as the god tier dudes.
don't worry about tiers if you aren't playing competitively though, most likely
you won't use the tools and stuff they have that makes them up there so it's
not really a big deal. that's why it's always been strange to me that folks who
don't really care about getting in-depth with the game will reference tier
lists and stuff since they're basically meaningless unless you are actually
know how to play the game.
and yeah im being super inflammatory, it is in my nature when it comes to
fighting games to talk a lot of crap
here is a TOP SECRET video to get you excited for mvc3 featuring actual mvc3 content:
