We should play tonight. I'd like to get some practice in with a Blanka.

I'll, uh, send you an XBox message if I get a chance to get on late this evening. Probably won't be until after 8pm pac, tho.

If you had asked me about 12 years ago, I probably would have said the best fighting game ever was "Rise of the Robots".

Sure, it actually sucks. But at the time, my 10-year-old-self thought creepy-lookin' robots dukin' it out MK-style was pretty damn amazing.

I played Street Fighter 4 for pretty much the first time on Friday against a bunch of people who were pretty good. I had never really played any of the others but found with a little practice that I'm very good with Ken. I can pull of doing the flying back kick into a super uppercut combo every time.

It looks like 3D Realms is closing, which means the status of Duke Nukem Forever is...

No, the jokes are too obvious. I actually want this game to come out and be awesome. After thirteen years, there's no other way to end it.

Me too. I wish they would at least release the game before closing, or somehow pass it on to another publisher or something.

"Duke Nukem 3D" (and, really, the whole "Duke Nukem" franchise, since I owned the old DOS games) was such a huge part of my childhood.

I would love just one more great shooter. Go out with a bang.

See, I feel this way about turn-based strategy games in general: Civilization, HoM&M, and the like.

I am still itching to get me-self a copy of the "Civ." game available on the 360.

It's supposed to be pretty awesome.

There are so many games I want, but I'm learning the hard way not to buy so much shit I don't need :lol:

I gave up on that thing 10 years ago.

Meg— I'd personally avoid Civ Revolution, as it strikes me as being too cheesy. Civ 4 has a steeper learning curve, but it's scary addictive.

Shame that I don't have a computer nearly good enough for Starcraft 2. :(

Are you sure? Blizzard games are always very scalable. I think if you can run Civ 4, you are able to run StarCraft 2 as well. Maybe just not on the highest settings.

Civ 4 was released four years ago, and my computer was just barely able to run it then. No, I don't think I have a chance. Besides, it'd be just another time sink, when I have too many time-sinks already. It's probably for the best...

I'm actually playing the original Starcraft these days, playing some user-created single player campaigns. Pretty challenging, too!

Made it to the G2 level of tournament play tonight in SFIV. Man, the skill level is exponentially better than G1. I've only won one tourney in G2, and I've faced a great Guile and Chun Li. Too many damn Akumas though. Ugh.

And I've heard almost all good things about CivRev.

I've never played a Duke Nukem game.

I have CivRev, and I like it. Far more accessible than Civ4, and plus, ninja tanks. It has ninja tanks.

I mean... what the hell more needs to be said than ninja tanks?

Oh, and sorry Dan, wasn't able to do SF4 tonight. Baby patrol.

I love my Ninja Tanks. Mongols with Ninja Tanks....

EDIT: And for the record, I've logged in hundreds of hours on Civ and Civ2.

That's kind of why I've never played them.

Although I realize now that I was lying. I have played one. It was on the Playstation, and it wasn't an FPS. It was a 3rd person shooter/adventure game, kind of like Tomb Raider, but with Duke.
