    Critical Edge: A Brief History of Banning...

    A hypothetical question for all of my friends: If I mixed a gallon of dogshit and a gallon of ice cream together in a giant bowl, would you want to eat the results? I mean, sure, there's dogshit, but half of it is creamy, delicious ice cream. What? You wouldn't? And here I thought compromise...

    Hate Speech: SOULCALIBUR V Party Special Report

    Astaroth's CE isn't exactly reactable, from what I can tell, and there are plenty of situations where it's a straight up punisher. Most CEs do somewhere in the range of 90, irrespective of type, and aren't reactable, either. That's just how the system's designed. There are some minor...

    Hate Speech: SOULCALIBUR V Party Special Report

    I would also argue that spending bar haphazardly isn't the best way to utilize it, either. I'm trying to figure out how I want to manage meter with Astaroth; his throw BEs have some added utility, but not a significant damage boost. BE 66K is steppable on block by at least a chunk of the cast...

    Hate Speech: SOULCALIBUR V Party Special Report

    Okay, seriously? Don't you think there'd have been a little more..uhh...hoopla if I was actually going around beating people up in public? At the risk of tipping my hand, there's a bit of artistic license at work here for the sake of narrative.

    I had to post this from jail. =P

    Hate Speech: SOULCALIBUR V Party Special Report

    Game's good, but that sort of environment isn't a particularly good one in which to play seriously. Still, we have to evaluate these things on their own terms--I'd be fucking livid if an actual tournament was such a cacophonous dubstep mess, but as a sort of rah-rah event it was a success.

    You're correct; brain fart fixed.

    You can't let ego interfere with deep-cover operations.

    Hate Speech: SOULCALIBUR V Party Special Report

    That's the weird kind of faux gamer-chic element that's arising. There's something oddly distasteful about it to me, as it implies we're all easily manipulated because we can't get laid, but at the same time I think it's good that we increase our exposure/media footprint/whatever...

    Hate Speech: SOULCALIBUR V Party Special Report

    It has been a tumultuous week here at the Hate Speech offices, beginning with Idlemind’s abduction by an insidious cabal of communist sympathizers looking to undermine the work we’ve been doing here in the name of freedom. That’s my pet theory, at least. When last I saw him, I was lugging cases...

    If only In Your Eyes was somehow appropriate.

    Hate Speech: Come to the Dark Side

    What you'e driving at there is related to something I've actually touched on before: namely, the conflicts that arise from markedly different gaming genealogies. Check my dissertation for the looooong version when it's available, but the CliffNotes version is that most contemporary console...

    Hate Speech: Come to the Dark Side

    We need you to step up and begin the SC Nip-Slip Archive. Think you're up to it? Ask around--I'm not that bad. Norcal's a good place to learn Calibur, really, as we have a wide variety of skill levels represented. You'll have plenty of people to act as resources for you, and also folks...

    I just mess around with Nightmare. I'd say I'm already significantly better with both Astaroth and the Pirate...muahaha

    It's true. Find yourself some people to play, assface.

    Hate Speech: Come to the Dark Side

    Speaking of Tulsa expats, Michael Jackson is somewhere in the bowels of Florida now. He needs to get on here and drum up some comp. In addition to being heroic enough to buy my dinner, his other claim to fame is beating somebody at SC2 Nationals without himself having a working guard button...
