I'm 100% agreement with this right here. The rules are just the tools you use to make your stories come about. Though I do feel a certain satisfaction in the face of well-crunched numbers, I also recognize that when they become the focus the game becomes very boring, very fast. When they...

I've been playing longer than that. My only attempt, however, to interact with others interested in the genre outside of my own circle, random conversations at hobby stores, and the occasional convention back in the day was the message board for TTRPGs on Gamefaqs. They were pretty caustic and...

Pen and paper RPGs? Any thought about that as a sub-domain? The Soul Caliber world ties in nicely with those and CaS is honestly the best way for people who can't draw to represent their characters ever. There is a big RP void in the hearts of the SC fanbase from SC5 and this would be a good...

I replaced 'cheap' for 'dirty' in my own vocabulary a while ago. Its nice because it allows me to upgrade it to 'filthy' when I'm feeling particularly impressed with how enraging a tactic is.

That came out after the last paid for expansion. What we need, and are discussing here, would be an example of ANOTHER patch coming out after 2012. I pay money for game. Get 1 major patch I pay money for game. That is the cycle I'm talking about. I'm honestly not trying to win the...

SSF4:AE = title change, SF:AE 2012 = major patch. Unless there was another balance update in between the two I missed, or another balance update is scheduled, this is consistent with the model I laid out.

Are they that different? I'm under the impression that for pretty much any fighting game that comes out of Japan you get one major balance patch early in its life cycle and then the next major change usually comes with a price tag and a title change. Is there a series out of Japan that has...

That That possibility has been considered. That possibility, much like the possibility of getting a mood change from doing Tira's JS 66B BE now, is unfortunately not very good.

I never bought Vader for SC4 . It was still nice to be able to play against him online. I might not get Dampierre either - I will still like being able to play against him though. DLC that is just unlocked from the disk is a lot more tolerable when all I need to pay for is the right to use the...

There have been a ton of articles on the competitive mindset put out these days - this is the best one yet. The only thing I can add is this: When you play, always assume you can win. Its an easy assumption because its true - there is no one in the history of fighting games with a 100% win...

It's still January. You can just call it the event of the month.

In case we didn't know before - Shoryuken beats out Tiger Knee That was a great show. Only thing it missed was Megadeth and Josh Barnett coming out to the Fist of the North Star theme.

All this thread does is remind me that they stopped showing Eastenders over here in SoCal and I'm still pissed off about it.

.302 So much for going pro...

You do our people proud Whitey. I'm still embarrassed to be the 4th person caught in the lolicon trap though :o
