Mystic Eyes

Okay so, the Tekken movie was pretty godlike. Just sayin'.

You shouldn't have voted yes or hell yes then. Regardless, I've got work on Saturday but maybe I'll stop by the Why Temple afterwards. Edut: Relevant to the topic: http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/868

I've seriously never lol'd so hard at this thread. Thank you. New England is the fucking best. You're all awesome!

One Piece. DUBBED.

That blows dude. They were probably just looking for an excuse to cut someone in order to save money. =/

The virus walked up, gold bursted, then Astral'd. Kinda like Noel Brown Empress's victory at CTcon. It turns out that I won't be able to make it to casual Wednesdays next week either because I forgot my family wants to do something similar to a vacation that Wed, Thur, and Fri. Oh well. But hey, from the looks of things we're getting our scene restarted, stronger, better, and free-er than before! Let's unite our community and kick some ass!

HAHAHAHAHAHA THAT'S FUCKING HILARIOUS!

I'd go but unfortunately I already have plans. Sorry guys. Maybe next week.

Yo Sho! Good to have you on DL. I'm Kyle/ the guy who cosplayed Hazama for two years in a row, if you remember me. What's good man?

Yeah, I'll be the more accurately proportioned Hazama at CTcon with better hair. Shoutouts! Why: I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY TO YOU except thanks and see you at CTcon. Fraga: Fear is the mindkiller. Crown: Nice meeting you, thanks for dealing with my Liu Kang bullshit. Glitch: Can you drop them off at my house? Thanks. EDIT: Oh, you were being serious? They aren't my pants. Paul: Every time I looked at the Melty setup, you were eating a Jesus Beam/Supreme. EVERY. TIME. It was pretty funny. Furok: We didn't play in anything but good seeing you again. Zoob: For putting me in my place and being awesome as usual. Tales: Good seeing you, my friend. Always good to chat. Cheese: Every time I looked at the Melty setup, you were screaming "JESUS BEAM/SUPREME" and blasting Paul with a laser or three. EVERY. TIME. It was pretty funny. Life: Good to see you, I'm sorry I don't play Blazblue haha. Dat 3DS is godlike though. It's really not that bad on the eyes. TagerMike: I enjoyed watching you blow everyone up in Blazblue. Mindgam3: I didn't know you could draw. Good shit. Hope you and Zoob get that webcomic going, it sounds like an awesome idea. shoutouts to the great blackout of 2011, with the MK setup being the only survivor.

YOU WA SHOCK! Also, I hope to be able to go to the Whyte House after work today, don't expect me until about 9:30.

Why's is always on a Saturday though.

I'm going to copy pasta a review that I agree 100% with. Duke Nukem Forever is a good game. If you're looking for a game that defines the shooter genre, with masterful storytelling and tier one graphics, look somewhere else. If you're looking for a game that brings classic fps style into the modern gaming age with an over-the-top hero and a ridiculous plot, you've come to the right place. That's right, I'm counter-culture, baby. DNF wasn't a game meant to make reviewers happy. A warning here: Much like the "in bed" jokes everyone makes with fortune cookies, you'll be able to say "since its 12 years old" at the end of most of my statements. Try not to dwell on it though, since it wasn't actually 12 years of production time, and considering how many times it was totally restarted in that period, it probably only got a couple years of true production. Onto the review! DNF doesn't strictly follow current day FPS standards. The game flow has a definite classic FPS feel, from the pre-Halo days. The gameplay is mostly combat punctuated with the occasional physics or platform puzzle, along with a variety of special circumstances. This is where most reviewers seem to get hung up; they feel like the game is some kind of mish-mash of various gameplay types all thrown together without a true identity. I disagree. To me, it feels more like an effort to break up the droning grind of shooting with challenges of skill and logic, and that's something I can truly appreciate. The combat itself (on hard mode) is fairly intense and comes up in a variety of ways. Rather than strictly using the run and gun Halo system, or the duck and gun of Gears of War/pretty much any modern combat fps, you go through what I think I'll call 'clever combat'. Basically you tend to have to find a way to deal with a given situation, and there's no guarantees that it'll work next time, or even the whole way through this time. All in all, the combat aspect of the game really screams classic shooter. You also get to play with a lot of the stuff in the game world, which again is definitely telling of its classic shooter roots. 8-ball pool, weight lifting, slots, admiring yourself in the mirror, light switches, whatever. I also wanted to point out that unlike many games coming out these days, I have yet to run into a crippling or annoying glitch which seems to have become the trademark of the modern game. The story is absurd. I can't call it anything else. It starts at the end of Duke Nukem 3D, and picks up 12 years later (lulz) when the aliens return and Duke, the... um... (okay, so I don't know what he is aside from a BAMF, maybe that's all he needs to be) has to once again save the world all by himself. Duke is clearly some kind of minor deity, loved by all. The women are pretty much just throwing themselves at him, and he's perfectly okay with that. The game lacks realism, but I can't really call that a criticism since it was intended that way. Its chock full of potty humor, makes referential slights at other shooters, and I love every minute of it. My biggest problem with the game is the load times. Every time you die (and I die a lot on hard mode) you have to sit through 15-25 seconds of loading screen as apparently the entire game gets loaded back up again. The cutsie little hints they show stop being cutsie real fast. "Avoid taking damage to die less often" says the game. "Ha ha. Very funny." I reply, unleashing a string of expletives that peels the paint off the wall and questions the game's parentage. All in all, the game is colorful, quirky, sexy, and challenging, but not for everyone. If you liked the classic style of shooter, or humor that's rated I for Immature audiences only, then you'll probably be able to find room in your heart for DNF. Otherwise, you'll be best off staying away from this game. Hail to the King, Baby!

You shouldn't. I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

Y'know I've actually noticed a large increase in interest for KOFXIII. Shoutouts to the Why Temple. Glitch, thanks for passing the controller to me so I could get a game in before I had to go. Tales/Cheese: Sorry I missed you but I had to win money at the casino. Outlaw/Ragnell: You're not on these forums I don't think but it was good seeing you two beat the crap out of each other in AH3 Fraga: Stay Free, and Cry Hard. GGz, wouldn't mind a rematch in SORR (also gimme dat Alice book) Why: Thanks for hosting. See ya next time. Oh and I ended up making 325 at the casino playing blackjack. Not a bad haul at all. Of course my mom took the money away for rent anyway.

Good news, I've decided I'll spend some time at the Why Temple on Saturday before going to the casino to make some cash with my expert blackjack skills. Fraga, you better get ready to get bodied in SORR. Omae wa mo shinderu.

Saturday is my birthday and I still have no idea what I'm doing. I wanted to maybe go to the casino but perhaps I'll elect to drop by the Why Temple instead.

The Remake. We'll probably both be playing through the SOR1 route.

Fraga is not the champ yet. We have yet to play. Next time at Why's. He'll be ready. And so will I.

You 720'd the tornado?! GODLIKE.

I'm just posting to make sure all of our Springfield MA buddies are doing alright, that storm was something fierce. Hope you're all doing okay!

GG's @ the Why So Serious Casuals. Shoutouts toooo Zoob: Yo I herd u liek LIU KANG Fraga: YOU CANNOT ESCAPE FROM DEATH (NEXT TIME I WILL DESTROY YOU IN SORR.) also: YO I HERD U LIEK LIU KANG Why: Stop beating me in MK. Thanks for hosting, do it again ASAP. Glitch: Thanks for putting up with my shitty Makoto for 5 minutes. Also, keeping my mouth open? What? Life: It was cool being in the same room as you. Next time I'll let you feast on my shitty Makoto, kay? Mindgam3: Every time we go to casuals we somehow manage to avoid playing each other, for better or for worse. >_> Tales: Stay Free and Cry Hard. Also, keep repping that Kano. It'll get better, I promise. It was great seeing you again. Cheese: Watching you play and how others rage playing you is amazing. Keep making up those magical properties. Great seeing you again as well. Jian: I'm glad I didn't get bodied by your Smoke (However I had to settle for getting bodied by Zoob's. ) McDonald's: Thanks for putting up with our gigantic order, double checking it to make sure, and thank you for fucking it up anyway. To All: I'm sorry I couldn't stick around for DENNAYS. Maybe next time.

You guys know you want to go to Why's on Saturday. Let's get the CT scene going again!

Also, Fraga, I challenge you to a SOR: Remake speed run at Why's! I will show you the true meaning of what it means to walk...THE STREETS OF RAGE.

You should call it "Why So Serious Casuals". And I'll be there, and have my swap magic with me. How often do you think you'll be hosting these?
