Bought a pre-owned copy of Tekken 6 last night. I like it so far. I'm stuck on a part in the scenario campaign.

A while back I decided to go back and replay Final Fantasy VIII after my save file was deleted five years ago.

I beat it a few days ago without upgrading anyone's weapons. Wasn't what I had in mind.

Started Borderlands. I like it, but I'm trying to figure out how to press L3 when I'm out of ammo. Not even that far into the game and I already died once.

Im playing Final Mix for the original Kingdom Hearts, and then Im gonna take a KH break. Only then shall I finish the Final Fantasies, Pokemon, and Bioshock.
Ah, alas, my break is postponed by a point of ambition; a window of opportunity has arisen. Since so many scenes were animated with the low-res models instead of high-res ones, I shall recreate those scenes in Blender, animate them properly, and purchase a PS2 recorder to edit them back in. It's a tough challenge, but I will not quit. Ill put disclaimers and Ill take the next (several) months to do it, and I'll make it look just like the game graphics. It's a good start, too, cuz I have a basis for everything.

Got the XBOX 360 elite bundled with Forza 3 and Halo ODST. Haven't hooked it up to the television yet. Too tired.

Super Street Fighter IV

The original Street Fighter IV did blow me away - it honestly was just how I imagined a "3D" Street Fighter to be. Each and every one of the returning characters looked exactly how I would imagine them. Online play was integrated wisely and effectively and Capcom proved that even after all this time (I mean, we're talking what? A decade or so from Street Fighter III's release?) they still "got it".

I know some will complain that [Super] Street Fighter IV isn't a true 3D brawler, but when it plays so well, looks so well and seamlessly integrates online and off-line play so well, who cares?

However, there was one big fly in the ointment - well, two perhaps - Seth.

$#!*ing Seth!

Now the cheapness of Seth wouldn't be too bad apart from the fact so many characters were locked, and could only be unlocked by defeating Seth.

Super Street Fighter IV fixes these faults by making Seth appropriately simple to beat (playing on Easy) and having all the characters, including the new ones, as playable from the start. Including some Street Fighter III characters is just the icing on the cake being as Street Fighter III is still my favourite Street Fighter game.

Other tweaks are purely cosmetic or nostalgic. The new backgrounds are full of life and energy and put some of the plainer older backgrounds to shame (I do think some of the old backgrounds should have been revisited and improved), the bonus stages are back (although I prefer to turn these off) and rival fights are greatly improved by playing the original player character's theme during the bouts. I almost cried golden tears of retro joy when I heard Cammy's theme during her rival fight.

I'm a little disappointed that the alternative costumes I downloaded for Steeet Fighter IV aren't unlocked on Super Street Fighter IV though.

I really do think that with Super Street Fighter IV, the fighting game has almost reached perfection. However, I'd like to see an update that allows you to choose a fighting style from Street Fighter (default), Alpha (allows air blocking) and Street Fighter III (allows parrying) - then it probably would be perfection.

Got Left 4 Dead yesterday. Still haven't hooked up my 360. Going to get my fiancee to do it tomorrow after we get back from a caterer taste test. Free food and video games, can't beat that!

Finally got my 360 hooked up (was ridiculed by my fellow video gaming co-worker at Petco for having my 360 since Saturday and just now getting it hooked up). Started Halo 3: ODST and Forza Motorsport 3. Not the BEST games I ever played, but they're good. Haven't started Left 4 Dead.

One question. Does anyone know where I can get one of those things for DS that allows you to record video of games and put them on youtube?
