    I called mine "Kowloon."

    I was watching a lot of Hong Kong films at the time.

    My cat's name is Spunky.

    He's actually a lion in disguise. He could kick all the Thundercats' asses.

    This might be tough to hear, D_Davis, but it has to be said. Your man, the big ol' hurly-burly Russian Zangief is a worse spammer than Abel. He was murderizing me with the spinning piledriver last night. I couldn't even move! I was getting so angry I had to turn the XBox off and walk away.

    I too am a Zangief man, and I will admit, he is a bit too powerful in the game, especially for people that have mastered him.

    Hour 2 in this strip is basically me the entire time I'm playing the game.

    Heh heh.

    I used to piss people off at the arcades spamming that.

    I'm not so good with him anymore, but I hope to improve.

    For the longest time no one ever used him, not knowing he was among the most powerful characters in the game.

    Are you super good with him?

    I only got good with him in the original Street Fighter II, and since them he seems to have been changed a little - or maybe I'm just misremembering.

    I don't mind losing to a good Zangief player.

    You try to jump at him - he bats you away like a tether ball with the spinning lariat. You come within half the game screen of him, he belts you with that radioactive-looking spinning back hand which is deceptively fast, and covers a surprisingly large amount of ground. Any closer to him and he nails you with any one of his arsenal of high-damage grabs. You try and throw a fireball at him, there he goes again with that spinning lariat and the fireball sails harmlessly by.

    The guy is my kryptonite!

    Fighting a good Zangief player is simply a battle of attrition.

    Just try to peck at him enough to do slightly more damage than he has done to you, and stay the hell away. Stay in the air as much as possible, and hope the timer runs out.



    It's not a pretty win, but who cares.

    Winning is winning.

    I don't know if I am super good, but I can do any of hit grabs at will. I have a pretty good record with him on live as well. I find him much easier in the newer games than SFII, mainly because the grab isn't as stubborn. I will say that for some reason I struggle against Sagat with Zangief.

    Actually, my tactic when I run into a good Zangief character will be as follows:

    1) put down controller
    2) go upstairs.
    3) open refrigerator
    4) get beer out of refrigerator
    5) come back downstairs.
    6) by that time, my guy will have gotten resoundingly beaten, and the Zangief player will have walked away.

    Not pretty, but I'm gonna lose either way. I'd rather lose with a beer in my hand than without.

    Might as well spam the taunt while drinking the beer.

    Sweet - we'll have to play some time.

    Man, I really want to put in some serious SFIV time soon.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Dan - is this the Street Fighter stick you're talking about? Looks like the SF4 arcade sticks were limited editions and are now going for ridiculous amounts of money, so this might be the best option, if there are any around that aren't ridiculously marked up.

    Would someone mind showing me a product page or something for exactly what I would need to run both my 360 and Wii with component cables into the same video input for my TV?

    I really have no idea what I'm looking for.

    This is what I use. I've got a brand new one extra (faulty shipping), so if you want I'll sell it to you for like $30 plus shipping.

    That's awesome, man, thanks.

    If you don't mind could I get back to you on that in a couple of days? I think my dad's going to check out a couple of places over the weekend and if he can't find what he's looking for I'll grab this one from you.

    If you have other people interested in buying it, that's fine.

    I want to play Noby Noby Boy so bad, it's making me consider prioritizing the PS3 over the 360.

    Nostalgia Nerd Posts Again:

    I've been trying to remember for YEARS the name of the perfectly awesome game we had on our very first family computer, and I just found it on a list of all-time best computer games.

    And I also found somewhere I can play online. It's called Rogue: The Adventure Game. There are really no graphics to speak of-- scary monsters are represented by letters. (O is an Orc.)
    My favorite variation of Rogue is Nethack. It's crack. Even with just ascii graphics
