N-N-NECRO POSTT

simcity

that is all (maby sc2 expansion, but...cmon, simcity)

tekken tag tournament 2 (steptember)
virtua fighter 5 final showdown (summer)
xcom enemy unknown (fall)

may as well add to this since i bought all of these since then

tekken tag tournament 2 is very good and i would play it more if i wasnt lazy and if my fightan partner would fucking buy it

virtua fighter 5 final showdown is also a good game, has a great training mode, and great netcode...but i dont like the game

"bu bu bu you said it was good vlad"  yeah, i can admit it is a good game, but it doesnt mean i have to like it.  feels a bit too guess oriented for my tastes

xcom is fucking good and you should buy it, yeah i said buy it as in pay money for a new copy of the game so firaxis will get money and make another one

i don't text...

as for the communication bullshit, if interested in playing stuff on ggpo (less than likely, i already tried that jargon here) hit me up on steam i guess.  im willing to play karnov, breakers, vsav, or st...i can do 360 for fightans(or me3mp) as well...

ae/ttt2/scv/hdr/sfxt(lol)/vsav when that comes out

vladgd = steam and 360gt

pretending i didn't say "yo nig i got a smartphone and it makes me hahpee" miu's art is still fantastic and i wanna have his babies, MY AVATAR RELATED

i try for the daily gallon but its pretty hard.  days i don't workout, that gallon is impossible, days i do, i think i barely make it. 

either way i drink a lot of water now, feels good man.

now i aint dropping soda/monsters, but like a monster a week and the occasional soda isnt gonna kill me.  its not really about dropping the foods you love all the way, but making them something to have on occasion and not all the time.

i uhh started working out, been doing it 3 days a week for a month so far. 

when i can take off my shirt, look at myself in the mirror and SEE PHYISCAL PROGRESS after ONLY A MONTH, i wanna keep doing this.

starting small, gradually amping things up (diet wise + workout wise).  starting small helps me not quit(THE NUMBER ONE MOST IMPORTANT THING), and i add things when i get comfortable with what im doing.

im just excited to see how i look in 3/6/9/12 months.  if i see progress after one month, im excited to see month 3, or next year if i can keep at it.  long as i dont quit that is.

over a month is ok to double post methinks

beat mass effect 3 on insanity, easy easy easy easy(adept + javik + liara make insanity difficulty into normal difficulty).  beat darkstar one (xbox 360 port of a space sim from 2006 on pc), not a great game, but not a bad game if you are looking for a space game on console. 

put another 70 hours into skyrim...gonna wait till the second dlc comes out then get both dlcs and put another 70 hours into the game...

without causing a shitstorm or circlejerking...i got persona 4 (p4a reminded me it existed and the price dropped on amazon)...so...

i like the game, surprise surprise.  you think it wouldnt be for me, story focused game with a bunch of anime shit in it (turn of + turn off), yet i like it.  characters and anime bullshit arent really too offensive in this one, and the game flows nicely.  as of this post i am at the end of the third dungeon. 

anything else?  i also got umvc3 and was playing that for a bit, this second time around i think its pretty alright.  i sure as hell aint good at it, but i can see it isnt as awful as i thought it was when i played vanilla.  using felicia/doom/taskmaster this time around.

AND FINALLY waiting for tekken tag tournament 2 to come out in september.  which i will use a team of bruce + one of half a dozen characters.

The fact that you can have an undisputed "best character int he game" makes me sad.

your precious guilty gear isn't immune either, sup eddie.  neither is my precious super turbo, sup balrog.   

I thought everyone used the Breaker's Revenge lobby for Third Strike now.

you mistake it for karnovs revenge (fighters history dynamite)

beat ffxiii-2, its a way better game than xiii.  what else...beat fez, beat witcher 2, both awesome games...and started up an insanity playthrough in mass effect 3 finally.

mass effect 1 insanity = pretty hard (assuming you dont import a high leveled character)
mass effect 2 insanity = really hard, totally doable, but really challenging with some real bitch parts. 
mass effect 3 insanity = so far....its like...not even joking...normal difficulty.  i literally had to check the difficulty setting a few times because this is so easy.  im about 2/3 through the game too, maby it will pick up later...but it should have done that already.  adept shep + javik biotics + any character that can down shields (i like EDI) = i cant lose. 

ohh and i found a way to consistently get to the underbelly of the club.

can i get some QA tester points now?

gonna make my monthly post...with more tournament results.

breakers revenge

http://challonge.com/brhuehue
 
placed third with condor, i probably had the most hype match and ill post that when the vid is up. 

either way, i was the highest placing non sho (sho is the best character in the game), so i guess thats something.

yeah i think its the modem now.  tried your suggestions, then called a tech and he had me to through the 192.168.35374hytj6t and the CMD whatnots. 

i believe hes sending a guy to fuss with the modem tomorrow.  something to do with errors and whatnot. 

as always i appreciate the assistance.

so my internet frequently goes offline for 20 seconds at a time, it does this erratically.  it can d/c, then the next time it does it is in 2 hours, or it can d/c, then d/c again in 5 minutes.

its been doing this for at least two weeks now, which is hard to notice if you are browsing, but if you are playing a game requiring constant connection, or watching a stream...or streaming yourself, you really notice it. 

resetting the router doesn't work, and i think i may call up my ISP tomorrow to see if they can help.  however if any of you know of a solution, i want it now.

stream page- http://www.twitch.tv/rickdanto  tournaments are 7pm on monday, game played is determined via poll on the fightanvidya home page.
main site- http://fightanvidya.com/
click the stream tab for the chatango where everybody lurks

http://www.twitch.tv/rickdanto/b/316733617
my first streamed match 0:24:23
my second streamed match 3:15:50
grand finals 3:23:40

surprisingly stressful, it did effect my game but im not going to blame my losses on that.  i could have counterpicked mando since i know i dont do well against cammy, but i didnt think to do that at the time.  cwheezy is just a better player than i am, and an incredible bison player, im not going to feel bad about losing to the better player.  it was also pretty stressful since the chat expected me to do well since every time ST is mentioned, i talk and talk and talk and talk and talk about it.  it is my #1 favorite game.  the commentator in the various matches was cwheezy, so obviously he didnt want to commentate and play at the same time when he was up.  commentary was a bit delayed because of technical stuff, first time they tried to add commentary on streamed matches. 

this monday (probably today, or last week depending when this is read) is jojo's bizarre adventure.  i am entering, i dont expect to do well since i played probably 1-2 hours of the game ever.  should be fun though, at least people wont expect anything of me this time round :O

*edit*

jojos tournament stuff, will edit as i get archives.

http://www.twitch.tv/rickdanto/b/317476082   1:03:34-the start of the link above first round i went 0-2, sent to losers  my avdol vs chaka  (he fucks up the score saying i won, but that was fixed after i checked the bracket)
first round of losers i go 2-1 advancing to next round of losers my avdol vs mariah / y joseph
second round of losers i got eliminated 1-2 my avdol vs d-bo

losers was apparently recorded this week, so ill edit when they are available. 

all rounds were close, i kinda wish i practiced for this game now, at least i wasn't totally free.  tournament nerves still get to me, however it did not effect my performance.  kinda salty, but, it was fun.  next week is ps3 soulcalibur 5, i dont have a ps3, so i cant enter. 

if you cant tell by this post, i think this is cool as fuck.  online tournament with people i talk to on a daily basis, with a random game pool so everybody can play a game they are good at, on a weekly basis...streamed...and we are starting to get some commentary trickle in.  i cant afford to drive to fucking chicago or columbus for the midwest majors over here, so its nice i can at least play in these online tournaments.

past few months ive been listening to two groups of music. 

one is just an artist named Ott, probably my favorite artist right now.  i recently purchased his skylon album, and his remix album in dub.  i love this guy. 

the other group is late 80's/early-mid 90's rap.  eric b and rakim, gang starr, ice cube, the pharcyde, whatever the fuck i find on pandora.  for some reason i can focus more on homework with this stuff playing. 

pretty much that with some herbie hancock sprinkled inbetween.

well uhh i entered this

hopefully there's enough people who haven't played ST in the brackets for me to make top 3. 

but they do a weekly tournament where the game played is dictated by a poll, and i figure since the game i play and enjoy the most is up, i may as well give it a shot.

hopefully the tournament after that is breakers revenge, but i doubt that game will pop up any time soon.  i need mah TOMAHOO!!!!11
