  • Great. I went to Combo Breaker over the weekend and managed to convince some of the out-of-town talent to come to the monday-night local tournament I help run. It was a great success adding to a string of great monday-night tournaments. We’re steadily making this tourney THE weekly local for my city. Feels good.









  • I could not disagree more about Contact. I read the book first. I found it to be an incredibly realistic depiction of what contact with alien life might look like. The clashing of world powers, science, and religion are central themes. The movie slimmed down the story as you would expect, but they completely changed the message at the end. The book ends with Ellie finding actual evidence for some divine being which eliminates her conflict with faith. The world governments had already been forced to cooperate much more. Now with the final conflict resolved, it’s implied that humanity can move forward in a more unified direction. The movie has her just believe in God, more or less. The Christians were right…







  • This game has been hyped within the fighting game community for years. For those that don’t know, the Cannon brothers created the company that’s developing this game. The Cannon twins are the founders of Evo, the largest fighting game tournament. They also created rollback net code allowing fighting games to be much more playable online. They have possible the most clout in the FGC.

    The game will be a 2v2 tag fighter with the ability for a team to have 1 or 2 players. The specials will be simple inputs (direction + special button rather than motion inputs). It will also be free to play which a lot of people feel is an underexplored model in fighting games.
