I’ve updated this plugin to give more granular control over which built-in JomSocial menu items appear. Also fixed an issue that occurred with some configurations.
MOAR CUTE ANIMALS
A few days ago I got a request via email that went like this: “UR SITE NEEDS MOAR CUTE ANIMALS” So, here they are!
Zombies and Where They Are
While playing Dead Rising 2 recently, Ken had the excellent idea of putting together an interactive map for key locations. We’ve managed to get a working version together, just remember this is very much a work in progress as we get all the interesting locations and paths in. Interactive Dead Rising 2 Map
Super Street Fighter 4 – First Impressions
So we’ve only had the game a few weeks now, but for anyone that played the first one, this game takes all the great parts of SF4 and expands on it. If you’re standing there looking at it on the shelf you might think of it as overpriced DLC, in my opinion you would be quite wrong.
Yes, there have been additions to the original, new characters, new stages, etc. That’s really nothing special if you ask me, that’s just meeting the minimum expectations. Capcom clearly listened to fans when putting this together, so many of the things we talked about and wished we had when playing the original are here now.
- “Endless Mode” – This is akin to quarter mode, or spectator mode. For fans, seeing a good match is not a bad way to pass the time when playing with your buddies
- “Team Battle” – So you and your friends can team up and take on another team in single elimination. Teams with players who know multiple characters have an edge here.
- “Replay Channel” – This seemed so halfway implemented in SF4, but they didn’t fuck around this time, basically every match you’re in is recorded and you can review and save them, or watch them with friends later.
- “Rebalanced Gameplay” – This one is important. In online play for SF4, players gravitated to a very small pool of characters. Now that things have been reworked, I have been seeing people playing all sorts of characters – we will see how long that lasts.
- “DLC Carryover” – DLC like alternate costumes from SF4 is unlocked here. Not really what I expected, seemed thoughtful
I am a bit sad to see some of the other challenges gone like time trial and survival mode… I love going for high scores. I played about 2000 matches in SF4, hell we were playing it the week before this one came out, and I don’t expect to play this one any less. Super Street Fighter 4 made a very good first impression making it the definitive SF title for me unless someone wants to play HD Remix.
The BlackSwordsman, Berserk
I had not been back to The BlackSwordsman for a while which sucks. I try to manage my free time and live a balanced lifestyle, it’s not always easy. Anyways, The Blackswordsman has been part of my life for years and that’s not going to end any time soon. My original goal was to make a sort of encyclopedia for Berserk, to catalog all the strange and bizarre parts of its universe. Whatever my original intent, people just want to read and talk about Berserk, so that’s what the site became.
If you haven’t read Berserk and are into manga or comics, I recommend it.
Brothers to the end
Wow, so there it is, the final battle. It’s nice to see Anya in uniform there with Delta where she belongs. I wonder if they’ll bring Mataki the sniper from the novels into this game, it would be nice to see her make a cameo at least. Also, Dom is sporting a wicked looking beard.
Anyone that’s gotten into the story of Gears knows how many losses humanity has faced on Sera. I think it’s interesting that they show them in what appears to be a one of the cities annihilated by the Hammer of Dawn – mankind’s own doing.
Anyways, I’m pretty excited about this.
