Hey guys, I dig the two mancast.

I think that it's great for development teams to have a person front and center that people know. Sure, there are large teams that work on every game, but the same can be said for movies, but you'll usually only hear from the director or writer. That was why Electronic Arts was originally founded-to highlight the people making the games.

The problem comes when there isn't an attempt to bring up the next set of "stars". It has become obvious to me that there's a real problem at Kojima Productions. Either his people are too intimidated by his legacy to step up, or he hasn't done a good job of giving them confidence to be the next generation at Konami. His displeasure was obvious in that Konami documentary video about Metal Gear Rising, and his team looked absolutely demoralized. But having actual personalities in the industry-Cliffy B, Peter Molyneux, Randy Pitchford, etc.-makes the gaming industry a much more lively place.

Looks nice. Wonder how fast Nintendo shuts it down.

I'm of two minds about this. On one hand, I am terrified of the Big Brother hooks the government seems to be putting into place at every turn. On the other hand, I hate the idea of a private group having as much power as Anonymous. Who's to say that they aren't any worse?

I don't have an account for the site, but I was able to access it. It seemed to load slowly, though, so they may be experiencing some problems again.

I just didn't care much for the car combat genre that was so hot in the 90s. Twisted Metal Black was the one exception, and I'll probably be skipping the new one. It fell flat for me at E3.

Even better, because you don't have to preorder. Just get a copy close to the launch and it should be in there. Of course, if the game bombs, you'll still see these copies in the bargain bin.

I seriously dislike SF 3, entirely because of the cast. Very few of the Third Strike characters feel like SF to me, and the ones that did are in SSF IV, with the exception of Alex.

Twisted Metal Black was my introduction to the series, as the first 4 games didn't appeal to me. I loved the darker aesthetic, and the level designs were great.

The best thing about the Clayfighter series was the theme song in the first game.

"Clayfighter! Clay, Clayfighter! Try and stop them if you can! Clayfighter! Clay, Clayfighter!"

For me it's definitely a toss up between Alpha 3 and Super Street Fighter IV. It all depends on which one I find myself playing 5 years from now. But during my 100 Match Melee on Christmas Eve I couldn't help but marvel at the big, detailed characters and the superb animation. And Juri is the bomb, yo.
