  1. STREET FIGHTER 5 (PS4/PC exclusive)

    Someone remarked that in from that small amount of footage you can see that Ryu has two different stances. So maybe this time around you'll be able to switch fighting 'modes' on the fly. Which seems to be quite trendy lately. Seems as though Capcom has been testing the water with the latest version of SF4, giving all the characters an 'omega' mode with a different move set. Mortal kombat is doing something similar, each character has 3 different fighting styles. Maybe the logic behind it is that some people... A lot of people, will main one character (Ryu/Ken) and one character only. Giving that character a different mode with a slightly different move sets will hopefully break them out of that, experiment a little. At least it'll make it move interesting for us having to fight them all the time. So yeah, maybe one of the 'stances' will let you parry I'm getting a strong SF3 vibe from the footage. That stage has Necro all over it (Q sucked balls. I'd welcome him back only if he had entirely different moves )
  2. STREET FIGHTER 5 (PS4/PC exclusive)

    I know I know, it'll be terrible for tournament play etc. it's just me being selfish. I was so fucking hyped before street fighter 4, I used check event hubs everyday and every time they'd reveal a new character I'd lose my shit. Was the fuck is a Hakan!? I'm just imaging this time round every couple of months they'd reveal and release a new character would be so good Anyway, I'm all in baby. Season pass. 3 figure fightstick. The works.
  3. STREET FIGHTER 5 (PS4/PC exclusive)

    I assume the exclusivity will be on this vanilla version and when SUPER Street Fighter V launches it'll be across all platforms. The updates tend to be released yearly.... That's if they will continue to use the same model they have previously. I kinda hope not, I'd absolutely love it if they released a new character like every 2 months.
  4. STREET FIGHTER 5 (PS4/PC exclusive)

    Well, like 6 months back there was a translated comment from some senior capcom staff which mentioned "lowing the bar of entry" and "allowing useless shits to be able to compete with high level players" Ah it got discredited thank god http://www.vg247.com/2014/06/11/street-fighter-5-will-not-be-pay-to-win-yoshinori-ono-responds-to-reports/ http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2014/jun/11/capcom-looking-developing-street-fighter-5-ps4-and-xbox-one-focusing-helping-beginners-considering-pay-advantage-models/

    Let's just hope they don't fuck it up with pay to win BS
  6. Saw this advertised on my facebook https://www.fundingtree.co.uk It's UK only. Crowd funding business. It's like dragons den for the masses
  7. Movie/TV recommendations

    Don't watch this trailer Be warned it pretty much spoiled the entire film. I stopped watch about 2/3rds through. Fuck now that I think about it I'm fucking pissed. Why even make the fucking movie if you going to do this.
  8. Its beginning to look a lot like GOTY

    P.T! That was good But was it game
  9. Its beginning to look a lot like GOTY

    God this is difficult, i've added and amended my list several time already. I've end up with a list of like 10 games that i enjoyed playing this year and no stand out GOTY. All of them tends to be flawed in someway which stops me from doubling down. I think my ultimate GOTY of the year goes to: Bayonetta 2 Mario Kart 8 Even though i wish it could be a bit more chaotic and 2/3rds of the roster are balls, its just so damn pretty
  10. I did actually have the Cockney rhyming slang dictionary open and there were no entries for "Assassin" or "Creed". There was Arse though so the thread title was very almost: Blade of Grass Creed: Victory would that have been to vague? oh wait i was going to say something; If the trend of these nu-gen Assassins Creed games are to have multiple era's. (Unity has you occasional running around in WW2 Paris) What alternate time frame can we hope for in London? Slip in to your daddy's shoes during the swinging 60's, perhaps Ringo Star was a templer
  11. Not much hay in Victorian London...
  12. Let's rate them in order of attractiveness! 12 fills the top spot on my list My mind is telling no, but my body, my body is telling me yes
  13. Crikey, It's Christmas (2014)!

    Ours went up on Sunday We bought a shit ton of M&S christmas party food earlier. (We're not having a party, we split it up and have 3 separate super indulgent buffet lunches over the Christmas break )
  14. WTF. I just heard the news. That was unexpected
  15. Idle Workouts

    Shiiiiiiiit. I now have a years gym membership :-/ :-) :-/ We have an unmanned 24/7 gym only 5 mins drive from us that my girlfriend goes to. £20 a month. And I never signed up as I knew how lazy I was and I wouldn't be getting my monies worth. I refuse to be one of those people that pay for a gym membership and end feeling guilty all the time as they never use it. Anyway, Black Friday happned, half price gym membership for a year, one day only deal so I took the plunge. You can't scoff at a £10 a month gym membership. Now I need to lose my paunch before my wedding in the summer
  16. Serial - The Podcast

    Ah, thank you for clearing that up. I remember her saying they had had email correspondence since the meeting and ultimately Jay declined a recorded interview. Wonder if the ammount of attention this podcast is getting will make him change his mind... Just realised that I must be exactly the same age as them. I'm 31, would've been 16, 15 years ago. I can't remember annnnything from that entire year. I know that if a horrible event such as this had occurred I may have retained some memories, but still. And it sounds like everyone involved was high a lot of the time. That ain't helping. Perhaps Jay was just so stoned that day that he can't actually remember details. Maybe that's what he's wrestling with now and hasn't come forward, as people will say "how cold and emotionless can you be to forget burying a murdered girl", but these memories may just be gone for him It makes my think about that awesome book we read for the idle book club about how memories can twist over time. I can't even remember the name of the book
  17. Serial - The Podcast

    So I blazed through episodes 4-9 of this this morning. I was a bit hungover and so just sat around listening to this for like 4 hours. I knew when I started it I was a couple months behind and I had the impression that all of this was pre-recorded, the series would have 10 episodes and a conclusion (not expecting any real answer) before they had put out episode 1. So it just dawned on me listening to the latest episode that this stuff is happening RIGHT NOW. Confronting Jay at his house must've only happened 2-3 weeks ago right? Crazy. Maybe longer, but still. I wouldn't be surprised if Jay himself has marathoned this podcast in the past couple weeks like I have this morning (That's if he wasn't already awear of it). Jesus, this must be turning his life upside down right now.
  18. Star Wars VII - Open spoilers

    I wonder if that falcon shot is the tail end of a loop the loop, or loop with a 180 turn so that the falcon is flying back the way it came, (makes sense as those tie fighters were probably chasing) and that this crazy camera movement is just the camera catching up after the manoeuvre. What makes it confusing from me is that it appears the falcon is flying upwards, but then the ground appears because the cameras upside down and my brain melts, BUT, if I'd watch this shot with the 5-10 secs that precedes it my brain would understand perfectly what's happening. Seeing the entire loop the loop from the beginning and not jumping in halfway through. Guys, it's gonna be fine
  19. Here's me going for a little gyro-copter trip
  20. How about that Star Wars trailer?
