    Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

    After seeing those pics (thanks, Amanda) , I wonder – will a "sweat" toggle be replacing the "bounce" toggle in the options menu?

    True! Also, KISS stands for Knights In Satan's Service.

    The Athiest Thread

    Honestly, it was when I stopped letting outside influences shape me so much that I came to be where I am with regard to religion. I can really only know myself. I am human. There are limits to my understanding, and I'm comfortable accepting that.

    The Athiest Thread

    Agnostic is the most accurate category for me. Spending time and energy attempting to establish the existence (or non-existence), let alone the WILL of an entity by definition beyond human understanding just seems like a colossal waste to me. Even worse, some people actually get violent over...

    Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

    Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown features bikinis for its female characters – rating is still "T". Even a re-color customization option would be nice, but none of this stuff will effect my day 1 purchase of DoA5.

    SkullGirls!

    Skullgirls – Come for the panties. Stay for the gameplay. ... seriously, though, I don't even get into 2D fighters so much, but I like the "craft brew" approach of this game. I'll likely buy it to at least show my support of the effort.

    Why do people think that suicide is wrong?

    20 years ago when I was in college, was morally perfect, and knew everything, I condemned suicide as cowardly. My tune has changed as I approach middle-life and my relationship with mortality progresses. One thing I will say, I would not want to be denied the choice to peacefully end my own...

    Favorite classic games

    "Classic" for me means arcade stuff from the 80's. I pumped more than a few quarters into... Precursor fighting games: Karate Champ, Yie Ar Kung Fu Early beat'em-ups: Double Dragon, Bad Dudes, Final Fight, Kicker (sort of a beat'em-up) Vector-based space shooters: Tempest, Asteroids, Star...

    Women wearing makeup: How do you feel about it?

    Actually, I rather like nicely done makeup on a woman. As was mentioned earlier, it can be overdone or inappropriate for some circumstances, but I'm not in the anti-adornment camp. Also, I'd like to add that not everybody that looks good is a superficial or vapid person. Judging a book by it's...

    Post your sticks! (if you use them.)

    They were kinda pricey, but the quality is top-notch. Unfortunately, AIAB isn't taking orders right now.

    Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown

    This is good news. I thought this series was console-dead. Time to start practicing again. 2012: Revenge of the Z Axis... I'm all for it.

    There once was D.O.A (DEAD OR ALIVE)

    It has its problems, but I rather liked the Dead or Alive series on the whole. I actually prefer the way DoA handles the "ringout" factor to VF and SC's more traditional method. Would love to see a DoA5 happen. I prefer 3D fighters. Unfortunately, Namco seems to be the only company keeping the...

    Fight Stick? Or Standard Controller?

    I definitely prefer my arcade sticks, but they can be a pain to lug around. There's something to be said for controllers that aren't as big as your console...

    SkullGirls!

    That wasn't just a go-to-the-fridge-for-a-beer combo -- it was a go-to-the-fridge-for-a-beer-and-make-a-sandwich-while-you're-there combo. But hey, at least it's not an infinite. LOL

    SkullGirls!

    To be honest, I'm not a big fan of the air dash/tag team/extra-long combo variety of 2D fighter. It's releasing on XBLA, though, so that means a demo to try out before a purchase decision. I really respect the amount of work going into this game, particularly the visuals. I usually don't do...
