Progressivism 85 Socialism 100 Tenderness 65.625 Your test scores indicate that you are a tender-minded ultra-progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a university professor. It appears that you are tolerant towards religion, and have a balanced attitude towards...

To momentarily change to a slightly more casual topic, does anyone have a grasp of the costume unlocking mechanics in the game? Previously I thought costumes could only be unlocked through grinding through the offline modes with a character, or playing 10 ranked matches with a character, with...

Does anyone know if it is possible to not have the costumes I have not yet unlocked and DLC costumes I have not bought listed in the character select screen? It annoys the hell out of me having to scroll through costumes I cannot select.

If I interpret the news correctly it means that DLC i bought will be carried over to the new version? This is good news, since I actually paid for a few of the overpriced costume packs. A fool and his money and all that, but I really didn't want to have that money wasted if I decided to get the...

I'm really looking forward to the next installments in this series: "The inevitablility of cheating", "The inevitability of ragequitting and sending hatemail" and the guest editorial from Aris regarding the inevitability of sexism and harassement.

I asked a similar question a number of pages back in the thread, and ended up buying DOA5. I do not regret it, it's a really good game. The basic mechanics are easy to grasp, but there still is much depth and much to learn. Unlike SC5 I think DOA has struck a nice balance between offence and...

Ok I see. The gamestop controller I used actually is quite good for hacking. It has common ground, and relatively easy to mod triggers (at least compared to some other controllers). One can just remove the pots and replace them with fixed resistors to get the triggers to work as buttons, there...

Thanks for the reply. I take it you consider the PCB currently in the controller beyond repair, and I should just toss it then. What would make a Mad Catz Fight Pad a better choice for modding? I guess the triggers are wired as regular buttons rather than pots on the Fight Pads which makes it a...

Well thanks for the interest anyway :) I posted pics of it in the stick thread a while back, here's the link if you want to have a look: http://8wayrun.com/threads/post-your-sticks-if-you-use-them.8455/#post-295059 Since that picture was taken, I have rearranged the buttons a bit to make it more...

I have a homebuilt arcade stick that recently developed a problem. I took a regular Xbox 360 controller (Gamestop branded) and disassembled it, removing the buttons and insted soldering wires from the button copper pads to an arcade stick and arcade buttons and mounted it in a box. It has worked...

Truth be told, I'm not seeing how games being exclusively digitally distributed would ever cause prices to be lowered. No game company would ever from the kindness of their heart lower prices if the used game market disappeared, they would just attempt to rake in cash from increased new game...

Forgive me for not looking through 199 pages of thread to get an answer to my query. I'm thinking about getting this game to try out, I'm just wondering how the online play is. How's the skill of online players? Will a really sucky player (like I would be) be able to find similar skilled...

Well dialogs rather than one-liners but anyway... P1 (Male CaS voice): You will die! P2 (Female CaS voice: Trust me, you won't be disappointed! P1 (Female CaS voice): Care to dance with me? P2 (Male CaS voice): So, you desire to fight!

Concerning epic fails I guess I'd have to say The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. It is a Zelda game, so it's still better than most games just by default, but it's the first Zelda game that has me annoyed rather than excited and compared to all previous games in the series I find it seriously...
