UGH! I love Bionic Commando, I really do, but...ugh!

Man, I'm trying to get a 100% run-through...phew is it hard. I'm trying not to cheat and use guides for the collectables, but they are hard to get to.

Among other things, I can't wait for that 1 vs. 100 beta. That looks really cool, and could be a great experience. It'd be awesome if it blossomed and more popular game shows were created. Woo. Go Microsoft!

Oh, and anyone from Orlando, how much money did you all pitch in to the officials?

Sorry for the random title. It was too fun to let go.

Today I parted ways with my copy of Bionic Commando. I let a friend borrow it after beating it two days after I got it. It's still awesome, and really is the only game I've ever bothered trying to beat on a higher difficulty. (Aside from Halo)

Went with my buds to the Cavs watch party...to see them bend over FREAKING backwards for Orlando. There were some pretty bad calls, or lack of calls, for me to accept the game as truth. Oh well, we'll kick their ass on Tuesday.

Nothing CAPCOM related to comment on, but...

we had a fire drill at school today. This is probably no big deal to most of the general populous, but I've got a really awkward phobia of them. It's so laughable of a phobia, after I breakdown I wind up laughing about it.

And Halo Wars kicks a**. I love people who complain it's not "Deep"; they miss the whole point of the game. Listened to the TS podcast, it wasn't the best I've heard, but it's still CAPCOM, so it's good.

Not much today. Sorry. Can't wait for RE5!

After unlocking some characters in SFIV, I come onto to my home page today to check what's up. Someone suggested Nathan Spencer for SF too.

Somewhere, far away in my head, a lightbulb clicked.

Skip ahead about 45 minutes later; a b****ing sweet fighting style of Nathan is sitting on my screen when Photoshop...decides that it needs to suddenly close. For no reason. Great. People could tell me that this is a lesson in the importance of saving, but should I really have to worry about system instability? God bless my hunk o' junk computer...

Maybe this will give me time to sketch it on paper, but I feel the need to apologize for lossing such a nice (at least to me) piece of artwork. Ah well. It still deserves a sad face though. D:  *-.-

Listening to Ken's new theme from SFIV, and I really dig the techno overtones. Great mix, unfortunately all the other character's themes really don't stand out. Then again, I think the Character Select song needs to be a full-fledged theme. lol.

Oh, and my webpage finally went up, here's a link to anyone bored enough to look at it. If nothing else, look at the pretty theme and the picture of Megaman with a bowling ball. Oh, and get a load of the "links" page. I really hate HTML. I've put a BG image in every possible code-input for it, but the main table's just giving me the middle finger. There's a "podcast" that me and my friends made up there too, but I'd be wary listening to it. I wasn't there to keep them in a organized discusion...well, at least organized chaos. It's funny at times, worth a skimming, but it's kinda vulgar for my liking.

Yeah. I'm sure everyone's done their reviews, but this isn't one; SFVI is amazing. There's my review. If you haven't bought it, and even remotely like fighting games, pick it up.

Anyhow, this is my impression; just things I want to comment about while I've been playing the game. I apologize in advance if I offend anybody; I'm not good at being tact.

First, the positives.

~C. Viper: I really like the idea for this character. (I suck with her, but I like her varied move-set.) I think the costume is...interesting, but the part I like best about her is the "soccer-mom" feel. I make this assumption, though, because of the "Hi Sweetie!...Really? That's great!" Win pose. Still trying to figure out how those glasses work though.

~Rufus: Oh man, Rufus. I really thought that he was going to be another Dan-esque character after I saw his character art and description. I had hilarious ideas of him throwing the popcorn bucket as his projectile move, rolling, etc. Oh well. I think it's a bold move to include the American stereo-type into this game, but I feel strange. I mean, I'm not exactly the most...er...controlled person in the world eating wise, and I'm Scottish (which is what I percieve his accent is.) I should be writing CAPCOM an angry letter right now. But I'm not. I love him; again, I suck with him, but his style isn't right for me...I think.

~The style: I had heard that it looked great, and the pictures in GI looked really good, but they were right when they said that this game looks great. I really like the ink splashes, and I REALLY love the "VS" image on the Fisticuffs screen.

~The Airplane Stage.

Alas, there must be be negaitves...

~The Stages: Why were the character stages scrapped? That could've been really cool, especially after seeing the mock-up Guile stage. Why did we get super-generic stages? Please don't tell me that we will have to buy those stages...

~The Music, specifically during the fight: The announcer is a really cool idea, but I want music! Some remixes of the character's music are in the credits; why aren't they in the actual levels?

~Blanka

~The lack of variable character intros

~THE SMALL TEXT. Why do we need to have this small text? Can't there at least be an option for some SDTV size font or HDTV sized? Man.

Also, does anyone know if the sticks are worth getting for someone who only plays casually? I know it's "needed" for "superior" control...but...honestly?
