Due to some recent developments, I've made a decision to significantly cut back my online time to focus on other matters. My work schedule is rather tiring and I plan to stay there as long as possible (if I'm ever laid off.. you just never know these days). The little time I have will be going...

Fair enough. The RE1 remake unlike the MK reboot was blessed because Mikami directed it once again, even adding the prototype mode of the original RE that was met with heavy criticism in 95 (real survivor mode). I still prefer the original PS1 trilogy by a mile, but I'd recommend the REmake...

Not listening to that, but can't possibly be worse than this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2NnnzhJ6nA&feature=related Yes, this IS a real song.

Seems it came out that way but the intention was just making a case for unfairly criticized entry in the series. And no, the entire CV cast with the exception of the Redfields was bad as was the story. The miraculous return of Wesker, the cross dressing pea brain and so forth. To be fair, the...

Good thing you added the IMO in the second post, since I've played garbage, and Zero was far from it. Superman 64 was garbage, RE Gaiden was garbage, but Zero was a well done, albeit dated content-wise. The game design was untouched from Kamiya's that he set up in 1999 for the N64 original. I...

I post once in a while here and Biohaze myself, so I can relate. Realistically, I think the GC games have a better chance since the realtime assets have aged surprisingly well, but the PS1 games would need BC Rearmed style overhauls. Remember, this is Capcom so value is out of the question...

Not a popular choice indeed (the start of the series' decline in quality), but it's aged well from a flow/structure aspect. JPN DC version through VGA is more than adequate, so hopefully this collection is done well with worthy upgrades to the visuals. I'm surprised you haven't joined Biohaze...

Yeah, it's a damn shame that the series is getting attention from the fighting game community after being a joke for so many years </sarcasm> It's called constructive criticism, and people should be more open to it here. Aris is fairly direct, and he hasn't been shy to criticize his own game...

Thoroughly impressed myself. The presentation is top notch, though it looks to be an older build than GDC's but the gameplay is definitely solid and doesn't feel awkward (did I detect a hint of QAA? The output is 1080p too). Once I started doing cancels and experimented with some combos, it's...

Re: How old are you? Any old school MK players here? 33 isn't old.. in fact, I've met enough interesting people for the past 2 years that it made me realize that age is really *just* a number. Made me feel stupid for feeling old when hitting 26 about 6 years ago; I'm 31 one, and there is a...

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-03-07-mortal-kombat-3d-works-without-glasses Not bad at all. I liked what I saw in the GDC footage (animations are definitely tangibly better), and all that remains to sweeten the package presentation wise is 7.1 LPCM :)

Yeah, I played the games competitively until 2004... I stopped at T5 due to various issues that didn't have anything to do with the game. Throws aside, the controls are generally more frame sensitive intentionally and that doesn't work well online. There is room for improvement over the post...

SSB... well, it has a sizable community and opinions vary. Your typical SSB tournament player isn't really a fighter fan in the traditional sense. You can say it's serious enough to have organized tournaments but the game itself... well, opinions vary. SNK's games are legit fighters but...

Best workouts are typically outside of the gym anyway. Incidentally, back in 97, I did start weight training as a complimentary workout to TKD as well. I was still experimenting, so I eventually found my calling in by 1999 in Aikido but by 2001 dojo schedules, life and need for physiotherapy...

I get about an hour of cardio going to work, 5 days a week. Weights every other day for 25-30 minutes, full body 3 sets of intensity. I'm trying to lose some of my weight and mass and go down to 165lbs (175 now) My prior routine was 5 days of weights, then recovery for 2 days. 30 minutes a...
