Are you a seasoned gambler? Coz if the 'trick' to gambling is just have self-control, I might look into going to the casino more..... so I can get to Las Vegas sooner lol

Lol that uDraw bullshit was the riskiest unrisky move a studio ever pulled. I think they wanted a novelty peripheral thing like EA and Activision had with Rock Band/Guitar Hero. Anyway, EA or Activision won't be taking in Itagaki. He's a critical darling, but his games don't sell. Who...

What a nice guy! And just for the record, from a non-American perspective, the idea of getting a complimentary stay at a hotel in Vegas is..... the stuff of legend. I need to be one of the crazy foreign people that spends several grand to fly over for the weekend once a year. Sounds amazing.

*Looks at his Android phone* *Looks at his Macbook* *Looks at his PS3* ..... seriously, what the fuck.

Nah, THQ had the rights to the IP, which they returned last year. I'm also concerned with them finding another publisher, at least in the West. When a company like THQ goes down, all that's left is really EA and Activision. Like hell they're gonna gamble on risky games. I wouldn't mind them...

Oh yeah no doubt you gotta tier whore Third Strike. It's only claim to any sort of balance lies in the parry system in my opinion. I'm just saying, Kuroda did what he did with Q because he attended events, rather than sitting at home doing nothing.

Just to go along with what d3v and CyberEvil said, you don't lose money. You gain experience, knowledge, and wisdom. You could possibly take your favourite fighting character to the next level after attending a tournament. I mean, Kuroda couldn't have done with what he did with Q in SFIII:TS...

Just this Saturday, had my friends bring over their PCs, and along with my brother and several other guys around the neighbourhood, they played DOTA 2 from 10pm - 6am. I told them to go pro level since they're all good and play it everyday anyway. But man oh man, is DOTA 2 quite possibly the...

I dunno why the community embraced the term 'e-sport'. You don't call football (soccer) a ball sport, you don't call bodybuilding a muscle sport, and you don't call chess a board sport. They're all just plain sport. Likewise, while we play in the video game medium, the fact of the matter is...

Yeah my PSN account is NZL. I think there really is no one playing down here, lol. To be fair, most people are on the Xbox system so....

Hey guys, So I just realized one of the problems I've had with Mortal Kombat 9 is that the servers are regional, and when I imported my copy into New Zealand, I only see lobbies from South America, because that's where the disc came from. I believe MK9 implements a disc-regional server thing...

Gosh speaking of which, I'd totally travel to the U.S to compete in tournaments, even when the prize pool isn't enough to justify the costs of traveling. Hopefully next year though, if the scene remains relatively stable.

Not sure if sarcasm advances the cause, because you might miss the point. I'm also not sure if we're talking about the same concept of precision; it's a play style, not a mastery of mechanics. Using the same example I used before, Latif is one of the most incredibly precise executioners in the...

heh. Crappy netcode + living in New Zealand = bitch please. At least you can play the game with someone. :(

I can see what he's trying to get at though. It's that western flair vs. japanese precision thing. I mean it's not DoA, let alone 3D, but this fight between Latif and Fuudo in SSF4:AE kinda illustrates the different play styles. Latif was out-muscling Fuudo early in that set, but he was going up...
