It's probably cheaper, at the moment, to take advantage of the 50% off on gog.com (also, you get the game DRM free that way).

Props for sticking it out in the comments, Owen.

And the Wii's various non-gaming applications, of which there are dozens? And its virtual console?

Aye, I can think of a few. And then there was the whole foofarah over the Okami box-art on Wii. Capcom responded to that one pretty well.

I'm curious: what martial art(s) were your actors proficient in? Some of what's in here is clearly pulled from Ken and Ryu's movements in the games, but most of the actual exchanges seem like they're drawing more on Chinese martial arts than anything else.

So... Attacking civilian targets is the most horrible thing ever, hm?

Both of you are fools. Get me something on which I can spill my gaming-beverage-of-choice without fear, like the Logitech K310 washable keyboard.

"Yeah" just sounds so... Noncommittal.

Same! Uninterrupted membership since December 2002.

Space Siege, yeah, or Darkspore.

Man, total throwback to the "virtual reality" setups some arcades had back in the late 90s.

Heads up: The XCOM coupon code at GameFly expired back on the 11th. It IS five dollars off at GMG, though (or you can get $10 in GMG credit with it).

Formatting question: Do you want the resume and writing sample(s) included in the body of the e-mail or attached as separate documents?

My first thought when I read this? Devil May Cry. And then I tried to give you a bro-fist.

I've seen, and tasted, the mango up in the New England area. I know Fairway gets it in, and it is both sweet and spicy. Also wonderful, but that's a third thing.

How's it play online? DOA4 was nigh-unplayable a lot of the time. If the online play is smooth, that and the new stages probably justify a $60 purchase right there.

I've been spending too much time on Reddit. My brain just said, "Hey, give this person an upvote," and I was sad when I didn't possess the means to do so =(

Gameplay is exactly why I COULD still have a Pong tournament today, and it'd be fun. That said, DOA5, as with most fighting games, aims to provide a far more intricate, complex, gameplay experience than something the likes of Pong. As long as its demands therein are adequate (which they appear to be, as you had zero…

That's actually really odd that Rig feels like a Bayman clone. I mean, Bayman was all grappling while, as a TKD fighter, Rig should be almost nothing but legs.

I think he's more making the point that two games that depict the same sport, and are aiming at a "simulation" bent are going to be far more similar than almost any two games in another genre. Yes, those other two games will be comparable, but Call of Duty and Halo aren't trying to do the same thing, they're aiming…
