s1imple is back to his original avatar, which I still have no clue as to what it is.

Reminds me of the dude doing some fist-pumping in the background on Guile's stage in Super Street Fighter II.

I always thought it was a Russian eating corn.

Isn't it on one of the monitor screens in, I think, Bunker?

I always suspected it was from a monitor in that game.

I just realized that I've been thinking that Mitt Romney made that horrible anti-gay ad since last December. I just kept wondering "How the hell could anyone consider voting for this guy?"

Not that I can understand why anyone would vote for him even without that blemish.

Looking at my games on the shelf... I'm sad to say that if I don't start having more friends or find a significant other that it is into cooping games with me, many will be sold. I love Gears of War, and Left 4 Dead, and a couple of these others. But they are coop games. You NEED someone elseto play with you.

I am happy though, to think, that I will start to get into shmups come the next time I sell games. I figure on buying some type of RPG and a shmup. I'm thinking The Witcher 2 and Akai Katana Shin, but I'm not all that sure about either of them. I haven't gotten a chance to play them.

Do you have an Xbox Live account? There's plenty of assholes, but given a week I bet you can meet enough cool people to fill out a friends list and never have to deal with them again. And the "Mute" button is there for a reason. Playing a game with someone else (or at all) is kind of an investment, which is why I like shmups increasingly because the difficulty curve isn't so much learning the systems and controls as it is just playing the game itself.

I have a small group of friends I play with from Australia... and that's about it. Really and truthfully I don't play too many multiplayer games, and currently don't have any gold. I want to have someone to play EDF and such with when I get that, but the guys from Australia don't like the look of the game. How many shmups have couch coop? That is my literal favorite way to play, and it sadly does not happen often enough.
