Mmmm, salt makes everything taste better. Now that people are getting real about things I'm even more disappointed that I had to miss out on all this.

It wasn't luck. Decopon is really solid and Tira, as I've said all along, you jerks, is a character with a lot of good options. That said, I don't believe the results would have been so overwhelmingly lopsided if people had been in a position to do their homework.

hahaha who knew?

NO TITLE IMAGE? WHAT HAPPENED TO CORN ON THE COB?

Time for another guest column, kids! I’ve had some family obligations crop up recently, as well as a dire need to make some deadlines with my other writing, so Hate Speech is going intermittent for a while. I’ll still be posting articles from time to time, but, in addition to that, keep your eye...

You know I've got a Machiavellian endgame all planned out.

I definitely think we could benefit from more centralized content. Yup. Great ideas--when can we expect your definitive guide to Voldo mediocrity? BILLY is the truest power.

I'd say tilting at windmills, myself. Charge on!

When I first sat down to write this week’s column I had something rather different in mind than what you’ll see here. I’d been called out and challenged to list my grievances with certain community issues, events, and so on. It was to be my own version of Martin Luther’s Ninety-Five Theses...

"The Russian Language has 57 words for 'snow' and 103 words for 'step~g,' but no words at all for 'freedom.' We have nothing to fear from them." --Ronald Wilson Reagan

This is deeply annoying. It's essentially a contest to see who's the most dedicated/organized/willing to game the system.

What's not to love about the decadent Romans? Of course, I don't go around busting out Latin on strangers. Not because it ain't gangsta, and not even because I cling to social norms or the notion that language which communicates nothing is wasted. Nope, it's mostly because I don't want...

The man who wants to blend in starts by busting out a Latin greeting. Excellent! And welcome. ;)

Nobody gets as many bitches as the writing staff--I'm singlehandedly wrecking the curve. That said, I eagerly await 8wr's transition into a words-for-tacos economy.

Soraky, a former fellow Norcal player and current Las Vegas local, was lucky enough to be in attendance at the SCV World Championship last Tuesday. When he subsequently informed me that he was interested in sharing his thoughts on the experience, I happily agreed to turn over this week's column...

Xiang basically has the right of it. When I'm critical of elements within the new system, people generally retort with something in the vein of balance. I actually don't feel as though I'm qualified to comment in terms of balance because the game is still so very new. I am, however...

Wow, somebody's angling for a knighthood!

So good of you to notice my regal nature.

Would things have gone differently before the patch? Shit, maybe. No way to tell. I was REALLY out of my element (still am, honestly). There's nothing productive about pinning losses on things beyond one's control. I didn't become good in the past by making excuses, so I see no need to...

1. Fighting games, though I don't really think of myself as group-oriented. Actually, the FGC is a great place for folks who aren't "joiners." 2. Positive: Personal development. FGs make people into better systems-thinkers. Competition and expert-level performance help to inculcate habits...
