Street Fighter 4...

I don't know where to begin.

Street Fighter 4 was announced.

For those who have any inkling on how big this news is to this staff, you can only have a vision of the amount of street fighter that has been played since the announcement.

So much so, we have began to restructure our podcasting and we will have it ready to be shown to the world... as soon as we put the controller's down.

Megaton's hit the studio hard, and this was the megaton of megatons.

Until we get there, for those who are unaware... (You shouldn't be ) Here is the Youtube of the trailer...

3...2...1...DEMO!

Today is the day GT fans have been licking their chops for...at least in Japan. The demo for Gran Turismo 5: Prologue has been released and I managed to get my hands on it.  How? Here's an explanation on how to acquire a Japanese PSN account, Clicky!

Here's my crappy short video I made of the showroom and a race w/ the BMW 125i.

My first impressions of this demo is nothing short of breathtaking. This is the demo of a demo of the year!!! I encourage all of you to get a Japanese account and give the demo a test drive. 

Happy Motoring,

Multiplayer Extravaganza!!!!!

Last week Jaurenlo came back to Maryland and we got a chance to face off in a few games testing our skill. After weeks and weeks of trash talking we can finally put our money where our mouths were.  We first play Street Fighter 3: Third Strike on the Playstation 2. I easily brushed him off of my shoulder.  Next was Soul Caliber 2.  We were pretty much evenly matched.  Sorry kids, no video of those matches… The next day we make a plan to go over to Jenetikz house and play a few games. Jaurenlo brought a couple of his friends along too. One of which was carrying a mysterious pink and black bag…CREEPY!  Not before long, we got into some good old fashion shit talking and controller slamming. (Jaurenlo, I’m looking in your direction…) The five of us got pretty boisterous as you’ll find out. Well kids, time to sit back and enjoy the videos!

First Up: Soul Calibur 3 (PS2)

After playing those games in an multiplayer/competitive atmosphere, I realized how much i missed the thrill of competition and the shit talking that accompanies it. Yo, I can't remember the last time I was playing anyone competitively.  It felt awesome. I can't wait until me and Jaurenlo square off again. Next time I hope to have a copy of Street Fighter Alpha Anthology so we can hit up Street Fighter Alpha 3. I hope you enjoyed the flicks!
