Because the PC (AGAIN) didn’t get any Super Street Fighter IV love…

… I had to try and fill the void in my heart with this Super Street Fighter IV exhibition match between Daigo Umehara and Justin Wong.  (If you call yourself a Street Fighter fan and you don’t know who they are… <speechless>)

Due to lack of words, I’ll just repeat my tweet:

omg.  OMFG!  OOOMMMFFFGGGG!!! EPICNESS!!!

Tosho Daimos Celsius

Tosho Daimos is the latest super-robot to get the limited custom treatment in Rotobox’s Suparobo Series.  The design is based on the Tosho Daimos 『闘将ダイモス』 anime applied on Rotobox’s own Celsius platform.  Personally, I like this stylized design;  It feels… “hipper” than what I remember watching as a kid.

Sleep is Death in the Penal Zone -> Bunny-hat wins!

Thanks to GamerDork podcast #038 (with Leigh Alexander weighing-in as guest), I was seriously convinced into giving Sleep is Death a spin.

In a nutshell, Sleep is Death is a two player ONLY game by Jason Rohrer.  It’s kinda like the game is actually just an interface for an old school  narrative role-playing-game (think DnD without [...]

Sci-Fi Revoltech #001: Alien review

Kaiyodo upped their quality with the Sci-Fi Revoltech line.  The first one in the series (Sci-Fi Revoltech #001: Alien) is the alien from the Aliens series of movies.  Very attractive box, and the Alien inside looks very well done.

Does it function as good as it looks? Hit the break for a review.

Phonecam pics from Robotar 1st Custom Show Day1

Forgot to bring a camera, had to make do with the celphone cam.  Forgive the lame@$$ pics.

I think the exhibit will be at Art Asia Gallery until the end of the month (?) May 15.  Perhaps I’ll drop by again to get better pics.

Boss Rush = Reverse Shmup

It’s already April 9 where I’m from, but perhaps there’s still time to get this sweet deal for Irukandji and Bullet Candy Perfect!.

If, however, you’ve been wanting to see what it’s like on the opposite side of a shmup, then you can try your hands at piloting a shmup boss in Boss Rush.

Easter Sale for Irukandji and Bullet Candy Perfect!

Until April 9, Charlie is offering both Irukandji and Bullet Candy Perfect! in a special bundle price of… anything above a dollar!

This promo has already ended, but a similar promo has taken its place.

Scott Pilgrim vs The Trailer

VS

A personal letdown is when I hold-off reading something for long periods of time only to go back when a movie adaptation is coming-up (bad darthvid, no twinkie!); It makes me feel dirty (“riding the trend train” dirty).

I read Precious Little Life shortly after vs The Universe got published (late in the game, [...]
