The McGurk Effect

This all makes sense. I mean, of course it's going to change. But it still freaks me out. Enjoy!

Die 1000 Deaths!!

The So Cal Regionals tournament just wrapped up late last night (Nov. 7) after two full days of Capcom based ownage (mixed with a little Namco). The main game was of course Super Street Fighter IV with literally the BEST players in the world representing. Japan's Daigo "the Beast" Umehara [Ryu] lost to America's FilipinoChamp [Dhalsim] but the real showstopper came a few fights prior.
I've been watching Japanese Akuma player Tokido wreck unholy shop on youtube for a couple of months now so I was so pumped to see that he was competing in the So Cal Regionals. Nothing could have prepared me for the premeditated victory pose he unleashed on the unsuspecting crowd. The balls on this guy, to project Akuma's glowing back tat on to his own back after a game winning Ultra I! Its a GD shame that the live stream didnt pan over but the excitement in the crowd is palpable. Here is a seperate video from youtube that has a better angle. Last but not least, here is a compilation of some of his best stuff on the asian Xbox Live server.

So instead, check out this guy's unorthodox tricks. Pretty sweet.

First post in a while's gonna be short...

The Drunken Moogle: Videogame-Themed Mixed Drinks

P.S. My favorite (at least in so far as looks) is "the Metroid" at the top of page 6. Check 'em out!

Now We're Speaking My Language!!

My two favorite characters, E. Honda and T. Hawk, have finally had their new alt costumes revealed! By the way, whats with all the abbreviated/animal names (M. Bison, C. Viper, T. Hawk, R. Carp)? Anyway, here they are:



By the way, pretty much all the costumes have been revealed. You can check em all out here. Come back and post your thoughts. Early observation, the big knot on peoples back (Akuma Alt 1, E Honda Alt 1 & 3 etc...) has been played.

I don't like being left out of...

...the street fighter pic updates. So here is one of my own. Hope you like it. These are a little more detailed than yours, though.

[UPDATE] SSFIV Costume Pack Reveals

UPDATE: New images were added by Yoshi. You guys know I'm a total sucker for the Street Fighter costume packs. In fact, I have purchased every last one to date. Recently, my facination with the Street Fighter DLC brought me to the wonderful world of Twitter. I now follow Yoshi OnoChin who I'm pretty sure is the lead designer behind the current iteration of the franchise. Long story short, here are some costume design reveals he has recently posted on his twitter starting with the first to be revealed: Fei Long. (by the way, he apparently keeps getting in trouble with Capcom PR for doing this)

The rest of the recently revealed skins after the jump!





Ryu looks like a modern Japanese pirate, Cammy looks like some kind of super hero, Juri still looks like a confused individual and Chun-Li is sporting her old duds... what do you guys think?

UPDATE: I've added the released images of Ken, Rufus, El Fuerte, Abel and one more slippery character.

...and last but certainly not least would you believe that for some reason I can't add any more pictures to this post!! Anyway, click the title of the post and it should link you to one final "oily" image.

This one is for you, honey...

Now after the jump.
