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 calender 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… (more)

Alright were closing in on the end of 2008 so its time to look back and reflect on the year.  The year has been very good to me personally and I will have very fond memories of this year.  Theres a lot to talk about so I guess I'll break this look back into a few entries.  I'll finish off this series of entries with a look into whats looking like an even better year in 2009. Guess I'll talk about the scene locally and overal.  Even though there has been a lot happening for fighters this year, I say its part 1 and things will be even more epic in 2009.  This year saw the release of Super Street Fighter 2: HDRemix(ST:HD for short), Blazblue, Tatsunoko vs Capcom to name… (more)

Here's a change of pace from the street fighter players. I've taken the time and interviewed a Smash Brothers player. In my opinion he's one of the best if not currently the best player in the city. He's one of my favourite players to watch and he's a cool guy to talk to. On a side note I've noticed DMCI has produced some great players. GO Maroons J To those of you outside the city he's got some words for you guys as well(Nothing mean just some words).

Here's the second interview I've done.  It is none other than Shane Fleury(ShinAkuma).  He's a local arcade legend, and one of the best players in pretty much every game he cares to take up seriously.  I know he has far more but some of his more recent accomplishments was winning 3s at TST, dominating every ST tournament in the city from arcade till now.  Somehow coming in second in SC4 at TST.  Just small sample of his impressive resume.  He's a great person to talk to as he's very intelligent and opinionated.  If you people want to improve your game talk to him and play him.  He'll teach you a thing or two.  Just look at his most recent apprentice in Andrew. … (more)

This will be the column I use for posting.  I'll be posting up my thoughts on the ongoings of the scene and other things.  One of the big things I'll be doing is interviewing players in the scene and around the city.  Heres the first one.  With my favorite punching bag.  James "Korea" Kim (more)
