The Bard

The Night and The Silent Water is probably the most atmospheric song ever written. I'm prone to hyperbole whenever I rediscover exactly how utterly special and essential Opeth are. Listen to it!! All the way through!

Ken and Ryu from Alpha 3, Ken is giving Ryu a nuggie, cause he pwns him, and because when you choose Ken Vs Ryu, that's the opening scene. It's my avatar because I'm a fucking massive Street Fighter fan, ever since first playing Street Fighter 2 on a dusty old arcade cabinet with my cousins.

He totally does, it's so spastic and random, and it's always out of place, like you can't tell whether you didn't get a joke, or whether he's just half an hour late on one.

Not heard any Mingus, but I've got "A Love Supreme." I don't know much about jazz, but that's some great stuff right there.

Wasn't that mid 2006?

Why does Ken's Shoryuureppa only contain weak shoryuken, straight into fierce? Lame. The animation looks absolutely dire. The graphics look pretty pants, and yet I can't help but think that if this is only 2% complete, this game is going to kick large amounts of ass. I don't think Capcom would let anything taint the Street Fighter main series, there hasn't been a single bad installment. I can't make myself like the dumb 3D graphics though. Graphically, 3rd Strike shits all over this game. That guy that was talking about Soul Calibur being a more technical game than Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike is quite laughable. Dumbass.

Good shit. Look forward to it .

Yeah, well, I'm only planning on playing with friends. They'll get a bitch slapping if the DC on me :p.

Yeah, totally hit me up for some Gears of War online, mate. What's your GT?

Shit, did that actually happen? I heard that was, liek, his mum.

This. Also: Virtua Fighter 5, Metroid Prime 3.

Shit, almost forgot: Advance Wars!! Shit, this is going to kick so much ass online!! .

This game is apparently only 2% finished. I'm downloading the 1up show atm...impressions will follow...

I did that. I was a really fat bastard at the start of last summer, but I lost 3 and a half stone in 5 months. It's pretty hard dude, the only reason I managed it was cause I used to be in Florida walking for 10/11 hours a day in 30 degree heat without anything after breakfast. You gotta hit the gym.

Good good . Yeah, if you get the SF anniversary edition (it only a fiver!!), that would be hawt. You'd need an arcade stick though. Can't be playing fighters without arcade sticks

Yeah, I think the one thing that GOW has over DMC is that there is not a single game in the GOW series that isn't mind blowing, and DMC2 was pretty shitty. Still, DMC4 is going to blow everything away, you can change styles in real time now, and the combos are going to be fucking huge. Kratos is cool, but Dante is more likeable, for me at least. As you said, they are all fantastic games. Anyway, why haven't you gotten a 360 yet! Go and do eet. Do eet naaaaaw!

Ok bitches, I reckon I'm good enough now for a few matches if anyone is up for some XBL fun! If anyone want's to add me, my GT is: Teh Bard. Aww yeah.

Why you look so sad?

Holy shit, that is pretty metal. Either way, they're both cooler than Ryu. I mean, he's not even a cool ninja! Kage Maru could kick his pansy ass:

Do you mean the Japanese Vega, or the American Vega? Man...it's too confusing. But no, I've never seen a decent user of the Spanish guy with claws, he was always the most overlooked of the characters. And people use the Shotos because they're iconic, and just appeal more than the other characters to most people. I only ever use either Ken or Makoto. What would be really cool though would be if there was a version of Guilty Gear X2 for 360. I'm not a fan of SNK fighters...even though Mai is pretty much the template for all the female characters in DOA Sweet lord, what am I doing up at this hour...

Haha...isn't that wierd...McMad reckons Gaiden's the best, I reckon DMC's the best, you reckon GOW's the best. Dante is so much more metal than Kratos In fact, I'm gonna set my PS2 up again...I still have to complete Ico...

Stop bitching at my parents, stop smoking, stop being miserable. All doable.

10st 7? I'm 11st at the moment, I'm only 5ft11. It doesn't mean that you're fat, it probably just means that you've been working out, or you finally kicked the anorexia and ate a sandwich. Besides, if you weighed yourself right after you ate, it's not going to be a good indicator. Sometimes when I weigh myself after pigging out, I've magically put on 5 pounds. Don't worry about it, that's underweight for your size

Scrubs. It's all I ever watch. I wish I could see what traumatizing events took place in Bill Laurence's early childhood to cause him to spawn so many "How the fuck did they come up with that" moments/10... teh best show evar. I also (finally) got season 10 of Stargate SG-1 on DVD, so I'll be watching that. To be honest, even though I adore the show, it died part way through season 8.

Yeah, it was an amazing game for about the first few hours, but it gets really excessive, and you don't have any motive to master the fighting system cause it's not a multiplayer fighter. I reckon DMC3 is better, especially because you can choose the difficulty you play on, and it doesn't make you feel cheated all the time. Oh, and: Phoenix Wright: Justice For All - 9/10 Took me ages to finish, cause I got lazy, and it's not as amazing as the first game, but yeah, absolutely brilliant series of games, gonna get Trials and Tribulations soon, should be good. The only problem with the series is that in the last case, there is always a ton of guesswork going on, and some objections are just to obscure to see straight away, so you end up presenting every piece of evidence that might have even a tenuous link to whatever point you're trying to make...but meh, like the story. Great games.
