Juri looks like a character perfectly suited for me. Seems to be all kicks. Which is nice, because Baek was one of my fave characters in Tekken. The YouTube comments there are mind-numbing and/or hilarious though. I imagine this one in Chris Remo nerd voice

To a newcomer, they sure can be. To an old timer, it's just a window into the halcyon days of the early 2000s. Case in point: http://www.idlethumbs.net/forums/showthread.php?t=78

The stuff I've seen has Dudley listed as one of the new playable characters, but having two boxers like that would be a little weird. Balrog is annoying enough as it is And I wouldn't hold out for the possibility that this is DLC. If the rumours are true, they are adding quite a few characters... so it'd be quite the massive update, not to mention new moves for all existing characters and balancing and etc. It's not like they have them sitting on the disc like the DLC costumes

Excitement's in the air as a big announcement is coming tomorrow, although there's already a lot of hints, speculation, rumours as to what it is: a Super Street Fighter IV. Lots of new characters (from SF2, Alpha, and 3) and new Ultras and other shit. I hope they balance out my Vega a bit more so he doesn't suck (relatively speaking) so much. Also I hope that all the new stuff doesn't take away from the fine balance and precision of SFIV. It'd hate for them to overcomplicate this game.

I think I've downloaded (and bought ) more music in a week in Paris than two months back home. So much new stuff... and a lot of it has inspired me to listen to old stuff. All the Warp20 buzz has got me listening to "Squarepusher" and "Aphex Twin" and old "Autechre". There's the new 5 Years of Hyperdub stuff out there now. New "Vitalic" album is pretty good. "VHS Head" EP is probably my favourite EP of the year so far. So good. Been enjoying "Intrusion" too, and "Cold Cave". yadda yadda. All this new music almost makes me forget that I'm about to miss the entirety of happy Video game quarter. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wgu5j30eahQ&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wgu5j30eahQ&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Just checked the location of the expo. Hmm. Personally speaking, I'd like to go up to Brick Lane in Aldgate... but then I'm a little fond of all the Bengali food there. Also the Truman Brewery up there is a big hipster spot, with Rough Trade East there. But this is mostly a selfish desire for me as I want to check out that hood again if I do come up for London for a couple of days.

That's no fun Good luck. But think of the relief you'll feel when everything's back to normal and you do find the time to be completely eviscerated by us.

If enough people plan something, I might venture out across the chunnel. But, also, we're about a month from the Eurogamer thing too, are we not? If people want to plan some largeish IT meetup, that'd be the place for it.

Ey cool, congrats Let me know if you guys need any flash/web work done

One Mr. Toblix made this exact observation.

It pretty much is the full DS version, which I played a shit load last summer, so I'm happy. Just got Lumines and Mr. Driller. Lumines... oh man. I love Lumines. I own it on five separate platforms. I'll buy it for five more. But, man, the controls on this make it completely unplayable. I couldn't get through one skin. And it's not like I suck at this game. Mr. Driller is right fun though.

Yeah, I posted a clip of those on Twitter. Really ominous.

I find asinine IGN.com comments to be funnier when they're actually true, and it's so easy to find them it makes me sad "The third piece of the Uncharted puzzle is, well, puzzles." - IGN.com "you need to look at what's going on, flip through the book, do some stuff and then go back to the book again. " - IGN.com "So that's Uncharted 2: Among Thieves in a large nutshell. Or is it?" - IGN.com "If you're reading this, it was unlikely that you weren't already going to buy Uncharted 2: Among Thieves on day one." - IGN.com (at least it's kind of them to admit that their reviews are basically an exercise in futility)

I like the developer interview, it pretty much highlights why I like Ueda so much. "there's a level of realism you can only achieve through the imaginary" Are you paying attention, other developers?

The developer's room ending to Crono Trigger. It kind of showed just how much the creators loved the game they made and showed them as people with personalities and interests more than just a bunch of names scrolling by. Kind of a weird reason to like an ending, but it was nice and different.

If anything, they're really just a copy of the fantastic "Bohren & Der Club of Gore" mixed with a little bit of Twin Peaks (for obvious reasons...) Bohren is so, sooo good though. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoooscPFiyc&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoooscPFiyc&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_1-zwBsvjw&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_1-zwBsvjw&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

Yayhooray ?

Ahh, Evony. The paragon of good taste in marketing on the web :fart: This just further seals the deal. Please delete.

This sounds like Halo 3 to me, which seems to succeed despite these.

Hey, if you're going to be asking about how people on this forum look like, wouldn't the prudent thing be to post a picture of how you look like? I mean, give and receive. Maybe there should be a Thumbs to Faces thread.

::BROKEN THUMB UP:: Just bought 'em. And thanks for reminding me: I have Civ 3 sittiing in my Steam account. I probably should download that too.

So, Fallout... this will run on my netbook, right?
