The One With The Super Street Fighter IV Announcment

You read correctly, a new iteration of the fighting game juggernaut known as Street Fighter is getting a full update.



EIGHT new characters on a new stand alone disc, not a DLC update. So far they've confirmed the additions of T. Hawk, Deejay and a new female fighter named Juri. Grab some more info here, but I'd brush up on your Japanese before checking it out. Otherwise, check just about every other gaming news site online today. I know I'll be glued to the internet for more info...

The One With Some TGS09 Trailers

The Tokyo Game Show has began yesterday and the video trailer blitz from the gaming media has begun. I've posted some of the trailers for the games I'm excited about.

My most anticipated for sure is Splinter Cell: Conviction which has a confirmed release date of 2/23/2010. Yay!

And just because I can't get enough of the Metal Gear series, some Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker video.

Although I gotta gripe that it's on PSP. I'd gladly wait through a longer development cycle to see this on PS3...

The One With That Girl Who's Movie Nobody Watched, But Who I Still Worship

Hey party people, Megan Fox is gonna host the SNL season opener this Saturday. Good times right? Here are some of the promos they cut.



Believe it when I say Megan Fox has comedy chops. I saw Jennifer's Body, I know...

The One With Ninja Action Not Mutant Or Turtle Related

I've seen the movie posters for Ninja Assassin around, but I first saw this trailer today before Jennifer's Body.

Man, I didn't realize how much I miss seeing ninja stars in a movie until I saw this...

The One With That Hot Girl Some People Like, Again

Just a reminder to anyone who has been able to dodge the media coverage of this Diablo Cody movie release.

Jennifer's Body is out today.

The One With My "Amazing" Video

In an effort to become more versed in forms of digital media, I've been experimenting with editing clips together to make fan videos. This particular video is my attempt at a fan vid/character study of my favorite video game character of all time, Ryu from Street Fighter. Hope you enjoy.

C/O: Me

(Of course, one day after I posted the final cut of this on Youtube, Kanye pulls some outlandish shenanigans at the VMA's)

The video was lifted from Street Fighter™: Round One – Fight!, a product Capcom put out taking the art from the Udon comic book series a couple years back and putting into a motion comic. A lot of the animation was already in the video, but the transitions and editing are mine. The story in the comic is much different the what I portray in the video, but that's the magic of video editing for you.

Ryu is a character that's always striving to better himself through the martial arts, I believe that is noble goal...

The One Where 2010 Needs To Hurry Up And Get Here

Yup, Gemma Atkinson is back with her new 2010 calendar. Allow me to share a few samples.






She takes such a pretty picture, don't she? I'm particularly fond of June's sunset shot myself...

The One With The Argentine Tango Dancers

Of all the ballroom dance styles I've seen, I think I'd peg the Argentine Tango as the sexiest. And the 2003 Tango Dance World Champions, Gisela Galeassi and Gaspar Godoy certainly make my point. Pay special attention to their finale. Very powerful (and hot) finish.

C/O: ChabelitaBrasil


"But how did you ever find out about these two dancers?", you ask.
I saw this video at a Bestbuy HDTV demo.
C/O: mamborambo

Of course the video loses it's effect in Youtube low-def, but let me tell you, Gisela in HD is a sight to behold. She caught my eye from across the store. I quickly bee lined for the TV and even sat through the demo loop a couple a times to make sure I caught that lady's name so I could share the discovery with all of you...

...cuz that's how I roll

Here's one more look at them. It has a very good look at that finish that I liked so much from the 1st vid, and you can see how much better they are than the other couple.

The One With Those British Guys From Liverpool

I've been playing a bunch of The Beatles: Rock Band lately and it inspired me to look up some of the classic performances that the game recreated.

The Ed Sullivan performance which was The Beatles' 1st performance in the US


and

The Apple Building Rooftop from the film Let It Be



Although the game never really delves into the strife the band experienced during the bands later years, I will say that The Beatles is probably the only band to have the catalogue and mainstream appeal to make a game like this. I'd say that in this way, it is a wonder achievement...

The One About "9"

Happy 09/09/09

"The Answer Is Always 9" - No Name

So I'm sure many of you have seen the previews for today's release of the movie 9. But were you aware the concept was a short film back in 2005?

Interesting to see the story in it's early stages.



In other news, The Beatles: Rock Band hit's stores today. The Beatles ROCK...

This Ezio guy is one serious ass kickin' assassin. The new character animations, like countering and blocking stuff, look really cool.

The One About Desperate Measures ODST Style

Halo 3: ODST is coming out later this month and the promotional vids have started to make their rounds across the internet.

This video really has me hyped for the storyline.

I customized my multiplayer Spartan with the ODST helmet in Halo 3...
