(this was a really good Bryan, ggs)
I can only assume that this weekend will be the triumphant return of Street Fighter X Tekken, and that they are going to remove gems from the game entirely, patching them out from all versions incl-esp the PS3 version. And they're going to fix the Steam version of SFxT so you can play it online, and they're going to offer it for sale in exchange for USD dollaridoos and perhaps other currencies, fiscal-style!!
My kid is the greatest, and she got to use a laser engraver at summer camp! (Happy Father's Day, #fgcdads!)
Yujiro is alright I guess but hear me out: Leonard Ghostal guest character for Tekken, in a timeline where Randy Savage is still with us and reprises the role.
I said what I said and I will not back down from my firmly held positions!!

But we are going to hash this out... in the virtual octagon. Watch for godfists.

in just a few hours (5pm PDT 8pm EDT 7pm Winnipeg) we've got VIOLENT SYSTEMS on The Wednesday and this time we have a bunch of great matches lined up including but not limited to...

- Dandy Mancannon taking on MinoriMajo in UNI2!!
- the Kunimitsu-off between Kingpin and co-commentator Zero Utopia-Sky!!
- I've been challenged by @ruby this week! She's talking all this smack about how I was rude in the grocery store and cut her off in the checkout line and I was trying to pass off all these expired coupons or some nonsense like that, but I assure you, *my coupons are organized by date and they were all valid* and she is going to face the full force of KAZUYA MISHIMA for trying to malign my good grocery etiquette name...

... plus more matches also too!

twitch.tv/teamKandR -- we'll sell you the whole seat, but you'll only need *the edge*.

K&R are on a team! Mostly it's just R though. Playin' some fighting games, mostly Tekken.

alright Armor Jun, and that's 10 characters at GoD or higher. (I should go back to grinding Kazuya now)
There are people I would love to interview in this setting; I'm imagining folks who I would love to have on the show if I were to host it, and games I would like to get them to talk about...

(clearly I need more side projects)
So outside of fighting games, I've been *really* enjoying this podcast called "A Language I Love Is..." where the interviewer (who's a historical linguist/syntactician) has on individual guests to tell the audience about a language that they love. You get somebody on and they'll talk about some language you've heard of, or maybe a historical language, or a tiny one and maybe it's endangered, or whatever. And they just enthuse about this language and why they love it. I think it's sick as heck.

What if we had an interview series like that, but for fighting games? Would you want to go on an interview show like that and tell people about why you love KILLER INSTINCT and why more people should play it? (or whatever game you love?) -- moreover, would you watch/listen to that kind of a show?
Two more GoD promotions! Anna and AK are so much fun to play. I gotta work on my jaguar execution; I think I could have a much more dangerous AK by drilling a fast giant swing input...
