| Street Fighter: The Animated Series - Round 2, FIGHT!!!!! |

More stupidity. Youtube again proves itself ripe with hilarious tributes to horrible television.
Oh man... Korean animation royally sucked back in the 90s. I mean, it still kinda sucks now, but not nearly as bad. If it wasn't for John Kricfalusi helping to pitch Rough Draft Studios, today's over-seas animation might not look much different. Yeah, it was cheaper to farm the animation out to these chinsey studios, and they certainly got what they payed for: midget Dee Jay.
But that's not to say that the Koreans are entirely to blame. Someone had to write this crap. And as I see Chun Li putting out a fire with her hurricane kick or an extremely friendly shark swimming up to the beach in Darkstalkers, there's no doubt that there are a lot of dirty hands right here in the US. I mean... Seriously! Balrog typing with boxing gloves on! (So that's where Strong Bad learned to do that!)
And what's with Blanka sounding like Dr. Claw? "I'll get you next time, Bison! NEXT TIME!"
BISON!!!!!!!!!!

Another YouTube find. Someone compiled a ten-minute video with the absolutely dumbest scenes from one of the absolutely dumbest cartoon series of all-time: STREET FIGHTER! Yes, the USA original cartoon series based on both on the Capcom fighting game series and the horrible film starring Jean Claude Van Damm and Raul Julia.
Be warned. This is not for the faint-of-heart. ...Nor the faint-of-butt.BISON!!!!
Added Note: If you're going to order Street Fighter from this month's Encore OnDemand line-up, then I strongly urge you to also download Adudathuda's DVD commentary of the film. It's a little harder to sync up than a DVD, but it totally works when you get it right on. You may have to start and stop it a few times to get it right. |

| Speed Run Saturday - Sonic 3 & Knuckles |
[May. 31st, 2008|10:45 am] |
I figure I might as well have something regular on my site if it isn't going to be the comic. So here you go. The first installment of Speed Run Saturday. Watch this guy zip through Sonic 3. Yes, it's tool-assisted, but it's still pretty cool watch.
There's this one Glitch in the game where Sonic could get stuck in a wall or something, and it causes the stage to zip by really fast, and most of the time it crashes the game. I've never seen anyone actually exploit that glitch before. But then again, he's using save states, so he probably did it until he got it right.

| What Video Game Should Neil Play Next? |
[May. 11th, 2008|11:25 pm] |
Okay, so I have a little delemma. I have a stack of unplayed RPGs. I go through them at my liesure, usually for an hour or two before I draw in the evening. There are quite a few of them that I own which I haven't played, though. Some of which are well past the decade-old mark, but I don't care about that. I'll still play them, because I like retro games. And nothing is more retro than playing a game that was actually made in the classic era! To paraphrase NBC, if I haven't played it, it's new to me!
So, I finished Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door a little while ago. Actually, I had played both Paper Mario games back-to-back. And let me tell you, that was something else. It was a lot of fun, but I was glad it was over. And yes, I beat both the Master and Bonetail.
But now that those two games are out of the way, I need something else with which to unwind when I get home. I'm looking through my stack of unplayed RPGs, and I'm rather undecided. There are some here that I bought many moons ago, and I'm just drooling to play them. The question is, WHICH ONE!?
You'll notice a few of these are bundled together. The reason is simple. In cases such as Golden Sun, one game continues into the next. In fact, you can transfer your game save data via the GBA link cable. A similar system is included with Arc The Lad, where game save data can be moved from one game to the next. And since Arc 1 is supposed to be a really short game, I have every intention of playing it back-to-back with Arc 2.
But then I have stuff for like the Saturn and Sega CD that is crying to be played. I have all those Shining games. I've played the Shining games. They're awesome. I really should get around to playing the four that I've missed. Especially since one of them is a Working Designs release!
And then there's Begger Prince. I've actually played some of it, but it was at a time that my attention was really divided. I really want to get back to it, but since it's technically a new game, I keep pushing it off in favor of others.
So, here's the poll. All you need to do is vote for the game that you think I should play next.
Poll #1186378 What Video Game Should Neil Play Next?
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: AllWhat video game should Neil play next?
(And yes I voted, because I wanted to see the results. I didn't realize that I didn't have to do that. Oh well...) |

There are only a handful of people on the entire internet I'd actually like to meet. James Rolfe is one of them. Everyone knows him at the Angry Video Game Nerd, but when he's not taking a dump on old NES cartridges, throwing hadokens at old consoles, or harassing the Wally Bear hotline, he's actually one of the most astonishingly pleasant people I've ever seen. Even not having met him in person, I'm amazed everything I hear him interviewed or see him unscripted on the internet. He's almost bashful when confronted by his adoring fans.
It's rare that we get to see the real James in a video, but every now and then, he lets his guard down and gives us a moment where he is the one acting like a fan. Check out his recent tribute to Rocky.
