The games are just piling up! Damn SFIV for being so interesting! I have pretty much dedicated most of my time to getting better at Street Fighter IV so I don't think I'll be finishing games at a fast rate in the next 6 months. At least until the SFIV craze dies out of me again. I did finish Mario Galaxy though, was quite fun, challenging too. No wonder it got game of the year. I'll talk about that some other time in a bit more detail.
Alright! SFIV Tag Team tourney! Definitely going for that... now if I could only get my partner to start training properly. Hope he's at least sparring at night. Damn what am I saying I'm the one that needs to improve! Gah! Alright Abel, intensive training you and me hut hut hut....

OMG PATCHES!
Got myself a 1-month old kitten the other day. Its so cute! I have a little tiny animal mewing after me where ever I go now... it likes to pounce on my foot and sit on or next to it after, how adorable is that? When I feed it, it eats, then climbs on my lap for a nap. Or it plays with its toys, then pounces on my hands and feet and nibbles. Aww... I love my cat.
King of Fighters XII & Another SFIV Tourney!
I'm a long standing fan of the KOF series, having played it consistently since I was like 12. I've played all incarnations of the game (some I liked, some I didn't) and it would only be fair to say that SNK Playmore have produced a fairly poor to mediocre game.
Why? Hard to pinpoint... is it the really pixelated graphics? When you compare it to SFIV, its really really poor. They should have just stuck to 2D.
Is it the lack of stages? Well, maybe, but I don't really care about that.
Is it the gameplay then? Well, yes, probably because it feels so so clunky and the way the screen zooms out at different distances disorients me so much.
Is it the lack of characters? As many as SFIV for sure but KOF was always about the 40-50+ characters.
Is it the lack of a boss? I mean, KOF DEFINED the boss syndrome term - maybe they want to get rid of that stigma?
Either way, KOF XII is not that great. I mean, IORI SUCKS NOW! Sigh... if you are a fan, get this game if you want to feel disappointed. 3/10.
Now, on to the interesting stuff. I'm gonna go for another SFIV tournament this Saturday at 1 Utama from 12am to 5pm.... maximum 60 pax at the tournament. I think last time the tournament reached 50+ so this time around it might probably reach the max amount. Its going to be loud and exciting to say the least, certainly drop by to play or if you just want to watch you're most welcome I think.

Its getting closer and closer...
... and I'm feeling more and more angry that I'm not allowed to feel angry about it because it was all my fault for being an idiot.
No More Heroes & SFIV Mini Tourney
I like No More Heroes. I liked Killer 7 too. Because its weird. And I love weird. I mean NMH was really over the top weird, full of funny and unexpected twists and turns. It detracts from the main premise of the game but detracting from the main premise is probably the main premise of the game itself. Confusing you yet? Don't worry, the game is much like this. Decent gameplay and nice track offset the sometimes passable graphics but the design oozing coolness shoots this through the roof. 8/10 and that's being conservative.
Went for the SFIV mini tourney at Cineleisure yesterday with a mate of mine. It was quite fun, didn't manage to win but at least I made it to the finals after a few epic matches. From then on, I'll always imagine Abel vs Zangief in the same way I think of Neo vs Smith or Vegeta vs Goku or sth. It was truly epic. Lots of close games and audience support made this a fun outing. You can read more about on the SFIV site.
