Well, I have now played SC4 for a few days and can stick in my real thoughts.

SC4 looks pretty, has alot of fun elements, and makes me want to learn to play the game well.  It’s pretty, it’s crazy, and it’s got jubblies (always a plus).

Modes:  SC4 has plenty of modes to play around in.  It has the standard story mode, well equipped with an overly dramatic  announcer and a beutiful,yet epic, musical score.  It also has a standard arcade mode.  Fight against 8 fighters in 8 separate stages to win.  Beat arcade mode with yoda and unlock the Apprentice (not the TV show) from the upcoming game, The Force Unleashed.  There is also a tower mode.  Beat 20 stages of fighters to climb the tower, then beat more stages to descend, racking up extra items for the character creator.  There is a standard 2 player vs mode for you and a friend to play and an online mode for those wanting to fight others on the internetz.

Character:  All the standard Soul Calibur characters are present, along with a new boss, and new characters unlocked through story mode.  My personal favorite players are Maxi and Xianghua (of however thats spelled).  There is also a character creator mode where you design a character by chosing a fighting style from the many available characters, and build upon that with power-ups and different clothing that gives you higher stats.  New characters are The Apprentice, Yoda, and Darth Vader.  I play the Xbox 360 version, so I had Yoda and The Apprentice to play around with.  Yoda is kind of a novel character, he feels weird to play.  The Apprentice is strong, with a neat style of fighting and heavy use of the force.

Gameplay:  Standard Soul Calibur here.  Pick a character, kick some ass, pick a different character, kick more ass.  It’s fun though, especially with the character creator.  The more you play with a certain fighting style, the more you level that style up, and the better it fights.   Beware, though, as it is easy to be cheap in this game.

Overall, it’s forth a purchase or a rental just to say you played it.  The only folks really getting a deal are those that love their fighting games (especially when arcade controls are involved).

I give it 7.5-8.5/10 jerks, depending on how much you like the Soul Calibur series.

I have now played Soul Calibur 4 and I can safely say I didn’t like it all that much.  I was never an SC fan anyway, but I had to play the fourth.

The arcade fighting is there.  It’s typical SC with the typical 3D fighter controls.  The characters from the old games are there, but there seem to be too many copies.  There are at least 1 or 2 copies of almost every character.

The story mode is neat, but the story itself is all over the place.  Each character has his/her own ending, but the endings for each just seem so random.  The special characters (unlocked through story mode) do not have animated endings.  They have only some pictures kind of floating in the background all montage-y with a voiceover.

Speaking of the voices, the english dub for this game is aweful.  None of the characters seem quite right, and the announcer is overly dramatic as always.  Flip the language setting over to Japanese and prepare to feel right at home.

That pretty much sums up the game.  Another SC with some extra characters and a character creator mode (which I just cannot get into).   Also, lots and lots of jubblies.  LOTS OF JUBBLIES!

Anime girls. Sometimes, you just can’t stop thinking about them. So I figure, I have time, why not make a post? So after careful consideration, consisting of me sitting in a chair for twenty mintues, I have come up with a list of the 6 sexiest anime girls. Not the cutest, most desierable (though close), pretiest, or hotest anime girls, but the ones with the most sex appeal. I’m not saying these are the slutty types either, just fyiOH SHIT A CRISIS CORE COMMERICAL! anyway.

Honnorary Mentions: Nana Osaki from Nana, Revy from Black Lagoon, Misato Katsuragi from Evangelion, Fujiko Mine from Lupin 3rd, Yoruichi from Bleach, Tifa from FF7 Advent Children, and Saki from Genshiken. Read on for the winners. (SUPER PERV KURO MODE ACTIVATED) Read the rest of this entry »

Today was L Ron’s birthday, so, of course, Anon raided Scientology for the second time today. Project Chanology is in full swing and I completely support this action. A friend showed me this picture, and I gotta say, pretty fucking epic.

Apparently, this raid was more sucessful than the last.
