    Most annoying things in fighting games

    I understand what it means, it just looks psychotic. I haven't the slightest clue on what the fuck that meant. I just nod and smile.

    Most annoying things in fighting games

    I can't comment in particular about original SF2 because I never played it at a good level, but in general, "throws are cheap" is the most common and most wrong statement that you see in threads like this. It's possible they actually are cheap in SF2 (high and low, unbreakable for 20% does indeed sound strong), but you also said throws were lame in Tekken and Soul Calibur the last time we argued, so you lose some credibility with me there. If a game is designed so that turtling is actually overpowered, maybe you have a point. The problem is that a lot of people, like the original poster, equate any sort of evasive, safe play with turtling. "Omg he used 8wr to step my move, lame!". Um, that's what it's there for. Omg do horizontals instead of verticals! It's pretty safe to assume if it's some arcade guy he's not going to be step-guarding. Repeated AA equals win. Meh part of the fun is learning to play against people of all different skill levels and play styles. Using 8wr/step/step-guard all the time is just a strategy in SC2, knowing how to counter it and other strategies is just part of the game. Playing well with a defensive style is hard, just like playing well with an offensive style. I don't see why one is considered better than the other. Fights can just be just as interesting trying to get through a good defense as just rushing each other down. I never said it was cheap. Read the post. that shit is BORING. If I am playing the game with someone and every damn match is ending in time ups because ALL they do is run in a circle and sit on the block button, that shit is just a chore. Like I said in the original post, I have no problem with using it for stragedy during a fight, but fucking FIGHT. Its a fighting game, not track and field. And I would have even less of a problem if the person didn't claim how great they were at the game and hardly ever lose when they fight almost the whole match not using a single attack button. Like I said, I beat the ever loving shit out of him most of the matches and the only ones he won were from time ups and he had more energy but that shit was boring...which I think isn't the point of playing games. The only thing I find "cheap" about SC2 is the fact that if someone EVER falls, they can take the remaining energy bar if they know what they are doing. I know how to do it but refuse to because it is just so cheap.

    Oh no, don't put that shit on me. If you see this movie see it under at your own risk. Ripper - Not giving his seal of approval

    Why?

    The pimp in his underwear and the black dress socks alone OWNED any movie the Wayans have done since. My bitch better have my money.

    Blair Witch 2

    I remember flashes of the hot goth girl having sex and was happy with that. OF course, It was a while back and I wouldn't be suprised to find out she wasn't hot at all. But the orgy scene was the films redeeming quality if I remember correctly. It was good with the spooky unsettling feeling, but all and all, they blew it at the end.

    Why?

    I really think he could have gotten by "pay the bills" stage is not for his family. Shawn has not talent besides pushups yet there he is, always along side his brother in a movie or show or something. Its time to cut em loose like Damon did. Cause this is no "I'm Gonna Git You Suka"
  11. Ripper

    Why?

    okay, seriously, I can see Shawn and Keenan going to Marlon and saying: "Hey, you know how you are the one with all the talent, right? So you should use your talent on this new movie we thought of...its called White Chicks." If that guy ever gets away from his brothers, he will be a ACKTA. He can do drama...he can do comedy when they make him tone it down a notch but this crap. And once again...why does hollywood hate black people? And why do Eddie Griffin, Snoop Dogg, and the Wayans help them? Robots I tells ya. White Supremist robots. Someone should throw water on them the next time you see one of them.

    Firefly on DVD

    Oh, I agree that was the case. For then. But Willow clearly loved Xander. Spike Clearly loved Drucilla. Cordy clearly loved...well...Cordy. Its a Mutant Enemy production and oddly enough if you go back, you can see the seeds of every relationship that happened in the shows. These were the seeds for this one.

    Firefly on DVD

    Yeah that was how the camera panned, but Zoes first reaction (if I am remembering correctly) was that she assumed the guy was talking about Mal and the Alliance guy said "I meant your husband". The sexual tension was even mentioned by WASH in War stories. Although I'm sure it came off as just "wtf ever Wash" , but I still say there was something to that.

    Her voice actually kinda reminds me of Alanis if she were less bob dylan-y and more RAWK-y. *ducks*
  17. Are you suggesting that the social class of the parents in no way affect that of their children? Higher education takes money...mostly expendeble income that can be saved for the childs education. Families living from paycheck to paycheck has no expendable income. Therefore their children aquire jobs accessable to those without a higher education. These are the jobs that are eleminated through outsourcing. Come on man, its not that hard to put it togehter here. Unless these new great jobs that are created are gonig to be the type that can be assessed with a high school education(and we KNOW thats not the case) then, how are the children of the underpriviledged supposed to compete? How are this generation of underprivilideged supposed to compete. I'm all for more job training to make people more competitive in the workforce. All for it. But ITS NOT HAPPENING. The doing away with large numbers of jobs is happening. I have no problem with getting rid of shit jobs to upgrade...but thats not happening. People are downgrading. The companies are not trying to be competitive. Thats like saying Nike and its sweatshops are trying to be competitive when they have a astronomical markup on the cost of production and their profits. Not only are the cutomers getting screwed out of their goods(I call a customer service line and the person to help me can't speak much English..that is a UPGRADE of service?) but they are screwing the people out of jobs that have been the NECESSITY of the lower to middle class americans for decades. The lower and middle class americans have not been eliminated, so why are the jobs? I know that there is a answer for this in a total analiytical, textbook way. I am more venting than actually asking the question, but you do have to at least see where I am coming from a little here.

    Jack Black Vs. King Kong

    If Jim Carrey comes out with a Mothra movie, though, you will have a hard time convincing me this isn't all one big joke Black, Brodrick and him came up with on the set of Cable Guy.

    Best female vocalist...

    Anneke Van Giersbergen has a better voice than both of them(haven't heard THAT much of them, but from what I have heard she clearly has more range and control), but I think Amy Lee has the stronger voice just not as much control as Anneke does(still haven't heard these live performances where Amy's voice didn't sound good. Everytime I see her live it sounds good.) I think that the fact that Lacuna Coil is a ungodly amount better as a band than the Gathering and Evancesence and Scabbia is smoking is why she will garner more votes. I'd take it as Anneke, Amy, then Scabbia.

    Firefly on DVD

    Alright I finally got to see the whole series (I was broke, give me a break). Some things: 1:Wash wore the mark of death on the show. Zoe/Mal was the realtionship that was going to eventually happen. I think the biggest sign of foreshadowing was when The Alliance guy asked if she loved him and Zoe instinctively thought he meant Mal. Although her and Mal faking the get together at the end of War Stories was HILARIOUS. 2: This has got to be the only show I have seen where all the female characters of purpose were HAWT to me. Even river in a quirky way. I always have had the hots for Gina Torres, Saffron and THE RACK~!, Inara nad those big ass eyes, and Kaylee in her cuteness....hotness all abound...good job casting. 3: I was a fan of Nathan Fillian...now he has stepped into the James Marsters level of markdom from me. Some guys make you want to take up acting and he is the second for me. 4: The man they call Jayne is the fucking ~GOLD! thats all I can say about that. 5: I am PISSED I won't get to know about Book. Very interesting character. 6: Out of Gas is one of my favorite hours of television ever. Jesus. The funny thing, even though I knew that Mal wouldn't die, I felt like it really could happen and I was worried. Now that is good writing. 7: Zoe: No Jayne...this is something the Captin needs to handle himself. Mal: NO IT ISN'T! Zoe: Oh... *they shoot the SHIOT out of the guy* probably my favorite line. 8: You could tell they all genuinely liked each other on the show and were enjoying themselves. Its a damn shame it had to end. 9: Early...that was a fucking performance. Possibly my favorite villan performance. 10: Tracy/Holden...whatever character you want to remember the guy as, he went 3 for 3 on Mutant Enemy shows...damn is that guy a good actor. Whatever Joss does, he has got to get a show that he is a regular. I have so much more to say about this show...Damn it was great and I personally HATE fox now. FUCK FOX~!
  21. I don't like how all of these theories ignore the fact that this type of haphazard outsoursing perpetuates the cycle of poverty. The people in the lowest percentile of pay rate are the ones that are biggest hit. Education venues remain unopen for thier children. They go on to have low income jobs that are cut and the cycle continues. Then you have people saying how the poor stay poor because the rich worked harder. Most lower to midlevel workers come from a homes of lower to mid level workers. Is it really better for the country if some people don't recieve equal chances? I see sensible outsourcing, I just don't see how anyone can justify it when there is no foreseeable reasoning(such as in Customer service, a field that really hasn't changed much for centuries, only over the phone now in stead of in person) . Low to midlevel jobs are a absolute necessity to try and even the playing field for the generations hit hardest by insufficent education. To eleminate these jobs (which you seem to be saying is necessary) is only leading to them taking lower paying jobs. It is basically priviledged stepping on the back of the underpriviledged to get higher. And while if you look at the economic numbers as a whole, it will all look fine and good, I personally have a problem with the sacrificing men and women AND their future generations for the betterment of those who already can afford the new training that will be necessary to compete in the changing work environment. Count casualties in percentages to the entire population of a country and no one came out to bad in any war. But when we get past that it is more than just numbers, you can see where the real damage came in. Thats all I am saying.

    American Idol 3

    The dude just doesn't have the vocal strength to over power the music. He has a nice voice, no doubt, if he is singing to da laydees~! ear or something, and he could probably come out with a nice album, in that Harry Connick Junior kind of way, but he isn't a performer because he is such a soft singer.

    You have ghastly taste. No, I just don't find 90% of the female population to be disgusting like you do. The "Banky 10%" is just a strange group of women that I still can't figure out what makes them so much hotter than the DISGUSTING women you have named before.

    Iverson out for rest of season

    Truer words have never been spoken. The sixers would constantly break up successful teams until they ended up with what they have this year. Iverson Loved Larry Hughes...traded him. He was started to like Toni Kukoc, traded him. He liked Tim Thomas...traded him, He like Van Horn to some extent...traded him. They have good second scorer, they trade him every year.

    The OaO 2003-2004 NBA Season Thread!

    Maybe because the other two put up more points, rebounds, assit(well lebron does) steals and blocks than Wade and have done it more consistantly. The only thing Wade has is that he has a better shooting percentage. Hype or no, there are two other rookies putting up better numbers than him.
