Okay, this one might be a bit of a long one, I may just put this in two parts, one the actual blog and the other the article that I was suggested to write about. I personally would like to see the staff members all write something on the topic of new players; since the staff members all have a different level of experience in many different games. I thought that it would be a lot better; but I don’t think that will be happening.

So here’s an update on the sticks from around town. I’m kinda late, but pre-orders for the normal Fight Sticks went on at EBGames about last week, and unfortunately at the time of this write up, EBGames was told by the higher ups to…

Okay, so first things first. My last post stated that Jayse was wrong about the timer, after some discussion with him, it turns out that he was actually making the timer for midnight on the 16th, so that as soon as the 17th hits, it hits the zero mark. Here’s hoping to a midnight launch!

So let me tell you what happened this week, let’s start on Sunday. Sunday seems like a good day, so let’s begin there. So I’m on the forums and I’m discussing away about the Tournament Edition SFIV Fightstick (The Fighting Stick of Dreams!).

Sure it’s more than a bit of a month away, but who really cares, I’ve been waiting almost 6 months now since the arcade came out. I found out that the game comes out the day after Louis Riel Day (For those who don’t know, Louis Riel Day is that holiday in Feb when everyone complained that there wasn’t one, we get LRD, but the rest of the country gets Family Day). I also found out that I was suppose to work on the day of the tournament, but…

I’m too lazy to write a look at my favorite games of 2k8 so instead I’ll just say my favorite games last year were: The world ends with you, Portal(I played it in 2k8), STHD, Dead Space, fallout 3, Dragon Quest 4, Final Fantasy 4 and Warhawk. I didn’t play as much games as I would have liked to, and on that note leads me to my thoughts on 2k9 and my resolutions.

With the calendar flipping to a new year means we are that much closer to getting access to Street Fighter 4 on console. I think it should be really obvious to everyone that the game will be the main focus of our scene and probably the entire scene in general. Right now there are 6 potential…
