[quote name='depascal22']I wonder if that energy drink feels like fire when it's going down.[/quote]

As long it doesn't feel that way going out. :cool:
 
Where the heck would you even find that?

EDIT: Googled it and evidently all over the net at anime stores and even amazon. Wouldn't be the least bit surprised if you can find it at Hot Topic, knowing them...

Welcome to the FGT! Actually, the stick is limited, so better to put your pre-order in now to ensure receiving one.

Thanks for the vid MM--looks slick!

[quote name='PhrostByte']MarkMan how do you get all this shit before everyone else? Do you pay extra or what?[/QUOTE]


do u ever watch G4 and theyre like

"G4 is a unicorn that vomits cool stuff for everyone before everybody else has it"

yeay... Markman has one of those unicorns.

and since it's christmas time, I'll actually tell u the story of it that he told me.

it was hella back in the days on christmas when Markman was a little boy,

and for christmas all he wanted was Unicron

but his parents did not understand and got him a unicorn instead...

he was PISSED!!
 
[quote name='Jimbo Slice']We sell the Dragon Punch energy drink at my work. We've had it for a long time now.

It doesn't taste bad. They also make a Mario one.[/quote]
Where is it that you work, if I may ask?
 
ohh man...

I'm listening to this Giant Bombcast or whatever the fuck... I donno gaf said it's good but so far it sucks imo...

and they have like their listener mailbag q&a thing part, and one guy asks something like:

u guys mentioned about the SFIV stick... why do they allow sticks to be used in fighting games if it would unbalance the game, and yet keyboard and mouse is frowned upon on console FPS? So like is one genre more important than the other?

and the podcast dood literally says, and I like rewound it like 3 times, he says

"Yes, I think it's safe to say that first person shooters are more important than fighting games"

it's like ~1:28-29 into the 12/23/2008 podcast if u wanna hear yourself
 
Merry Christmas, all my fighter brethren!! :)

Joysticks in fighting games would be less of an issue if console-makers (outside old Sega) would make decent controllers for fighting games. I wound up with a couple Saturn joysticks but those were more a matter of finding bargains as opposed to "Oh my god this controller sucks for Street Fighter, I need a stick." There isn't a single first party controller this generation that is good for fighting games compared to the 2nd gen Saturn pads or the 6-button Genesis pads.
 
I think it's funny that the closest thing to a good fighting game controller this gen is the PS3 controller, and even that is basically the PS2 controller, but with worse triggers and analog sticks. You have to intentionally break something that used to work to accomplish that, and it's a little disheartening that somebody would get paid to do that.
 
Just played some VF5, pretty awesome game. I'm really trying to get used to 3d fighters. What'd be cool is if there was a crossover between VF and Tekken, like some sort of vs game.

I don't think that could ever work well, though I coulda sworn there was a Tekken vs. Virtua Fighter bootleg game for the Genesis or something... hmm....

Well anyway, I love Virtua Fighter 5. It really is something special.

My g/f's school threw together a day long fighting game tournament. Many games like GGXX Slash, 3S and so on were being played. The person running it said no sticks though because it gives players an unfair advantage.

I wanted to laugh, hit myself in the face with a brick and the tourney guy with my fist. Shit makes no sense.

On a random side note my HRAP 2 SA came in the mail today. I was at work for 9+ hours and was baffled to see a giant box still sitting on my doorstep. How it sat there untouched (or stolen) by anyone after UPS dropped it off for almost 10 hours is beyond me.
 
Happy Holidays to everyone here.

Hope everyone enjoys time with families, friends, loved ones. Enjoy much deserved time off (for us who have worked a ton this season)
 
I have! Got a few Transformers I've been wanting. We always open some small stuff on Christmas Eve, then the rest on Christmas. Makes it last a little longer.

Merry Christmas to all! (or whatever other holiday you may celebrate!)
 
[quote name='Chacrana']Ditto on that. Any of you open presents yet?[/quote]
Eh. No point here. I know everything I'm getting. Which is a shit load of blu rays (a big thanks to all B&M stores have bomb ass sales heh), a few tv seasons and a game (Too Human). Though it would be nice if my mother slipped me the usual C note she gives me on xmas as well. If so, thats going towards my plane ticket to see my partner for Valentines Day lol
 
We've got to destroy Unicron.

DESTROY UNICRON, KILL THE GRAND POOBAH, ELIMINATE EVEN THE TOUGHEST STAINS!!!

I got Rock Band 2, Guitar Hero III & Guitar Hero: Aerosmith for Christmas. All the bundled versions. I wouldn't have gotten any of them if it wasn't for CAG.

I hope everyone in the FGT has a Merry Christmas(or other equally as important Holiday as needed) and a Happy New Year.:cool::cool::cool:
 
[quote name='JEKKI']rite now the only thing I want for christmas gift is Unicron.

*crosses fingers*[/QUOTE]

Dude, my friend bought his brothers the big Unicron action figure a few years ago. It's huge. He got them on clearance for 25 bucks each at TRU. They were 27 and 29 years old at that time. :lol:

He bought me a drumming book this year. It's a big 200 page resource on tons of different styles. I'mma go through it and blow some minds when we play out. :)
 
Well, no presents this year cuz my present comes on the 26th... I'll be in puerto rico!


the good news? Puerto Rican arcades are all owned by namco and PR has a good Tekken scene. I hope to either play some pros or at least see tekken 6.
 
I need a converter to allow me to use PS1 and/or PS2 controllers on the PC. I don't need vibration, and I'd obviously like to use both analog sticks without any issues. Any suggestions?
 
[quote name='Chacrana']Any of you open presents yet?[/QUOTE]

Nope. My parents here in Cali threw cash my way and so did my parents in Michigan. My girlfriend and I are trading gifts tonight.

That's it :)

[quote name='DarthPuma']How long does Lizard Lick's shipping generally take?[/QUOTE]

They ship from NC and it took I think 3 days to get to NorCal last time I ordered.
 
[quote name='Halo05']I think there are drivers for the PS3 controllers. Why not find a cheapass Sixaxis now that the rumble ones are the new thing?[/quote]


I wouldn't if I was anyone. the originals feel like crappy glass and the d-pad is slightly worse.
