Yea, 10 bucks shipping and handling is free...huh!

But hey, this kickass Akuma drawn by Andrew Hou is my kind of art!

Little touches such as the capcom seal and the certificate of authencity were much appreciated!

Well, it seems that something slipped under my nose, for the whole time I was living in marina del rey...I never knew that Reuben langdon himself was so close.

For you see, Just Cause productions, the motion capture producers for fine games such DMC 3, RE 5, and castlevania : curse of darkness, has their USA office about 2 miles away from me, so I thought "I haven't gone for my daily jog yet...why not jog to Just cause productions?"

So now the baber journeys into the night...just cause.

Well, Today I randomly tuned into a certain movie channel and happened to watch the epic disaster flick, Armageddon. While I was watching one scene.....I suddenly heard the phrase," This is CAPCOM Houston, do you copy?" I ended up doing a double take, only to see the letters C-A-P-C-O-M in big white Font. That led me to think, does the word capcom have an origin besides that of our beloved game company?

And as it turns out....it does. Capcom, otherwise known as a capsule communicator, is generally the one main person who communicates directly with a manned space crew. So, NASA is a big factor in this of course.

Here's the link for a more detailed description.

Capcom unity....from SPACE AND BEYOND!!!

As many would know, the title known as Red Dead revolver started as a project at capcom that featured character designs from non other than Akiman. But along the way, capcom had to drop this project due to some project instabilities. When the game was first shown, it had a bit of a different style to the gameplay...and seemed to be a bit wackier than usual. This is due to being capcom's version.

The powerhouse developer/publisher rockstar decided to buy and complete it, and in the process probably changed it a lot from it's genesis. So I wonder....what if capcom would have stayed the course and finished this fine piece of western product? Would it have been a masterpiece? Would it have been complete crap?

I don't know....but thankfully it still came to be. And one thing that rockstar did right on this above average title, was assemble the most definitive spaghetti western soundtrack ever. With famous songs such as Ballata per Un pistolero, and Jackie, this OST beat all others in terms of quality and atmosphere.

So yes, Red Dead redemption has my hype, for it will probably become the western game that all shall be defined by. Rockstar has my support......but still.....if capcom had decided to complete this fine product.....what do you think would have happened?

Well, due to a random lookthrough of some my friend's anime mags, I encountered an article that talked about a collaboration between lucky star and street fighter 4/capcom for a figure of Konata from the anime Lucky star. This figure would have her in guile's shoes, which means of course, that she would be doing a flash kick.

I myself am wondering whether or not the figure was made or is being made right now....cause even though I'm not really a fan of the series....I do love Guile. This little article brings to mind the infamous Foreigner moment from lucky star that featured someone very similar, if not a picture perfect version of Guile.

If anyone else would have further info on this figure, it would help!!! Cause Konata herself is a gaming otaku, which is perfectly suited for a Guile figure.

This the baber....with his random little street fighter/capcom tidbit.
