Ultra Street Fighter IV


JLM

Recommended Posts

We played some Hidden In Plain Sight, Micro Machines '96 and Nintendoland before Rab's Empty on Friday and it was an excellent time. Nintendoland is hilarious as well, but Death Race in HiPS got megalaughs. What a game.

There was some Street Fighting too, including "radlord" and big drunk Gez battling it out with me and Jiro barking advice. Can someone link me to some high level 4-player Micro Machines plz?

I was already famous; my hand once appeared in the background of a Peter Mullan short film for a fraction of a second in the late 90s.

Also an empty is just what you call it when your mum and dad aren't in, usually if they're on holiday to Blackpool. An empty hoose, like.

Rab lives in a small theatre iirc.

The CCA terrace bar used to be probably the best place to go in Glasgow for a pint in the sun and to watch people negotiate a surprisingly steep hill, hardly anybody ever seemed to go there too. And then I heard someone bought it and gave it a terrible new name and I haven't been back.

Last, and only other, time I was at the CCA was for a poetry reading from some Canadian woman called Anne Carson. Her support act was some remarkably dour scottish poet (Robin Robertson) who wasn't terribly interesting to me. It was an 'intimate' gig as well, which just means there was only about thirty cunts there and it was awkward as hell.

Anne Carson's poetry was actually pretty enjoyable, even to someone who communicates solely in combo notation and swearwords like me, but some fey lass and and male accomplice on that clichéd boundry between artsy and homeless were unfurling some red wool during, and delicately padding around the theatre's seating, handing ends of it to the audience. So we all just meekly accepted it and held it out in two hands like a pauper child being who'd been handed a penny. It was fucking stupid. I like Anne Carson though, because I saw her sort of wince during her reading because of it.

Anyway, that's why I hadn't been back until I was afforded an opportunity to communicate in combo notation and swearwords again.

Haggar unwittingly gave me an early birthday present last night by letting me open a round of Seth vs Rog with a dash punch-hoovering SPD.

Provided I don't overdo it on cake and ice cream I may be on later this afternoon or tonight.

So very tempted to pick up Metal Gear Rising today, but I guess I'm just better off waiting 'til next week because no-one bought it :(

***IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY***

Happy Birthdonut! Hope you have a very nice one.

I like to keep mine quiet. I'm amused that these days friends only seem to know your birthday if it's on your facebook profile or you invite them to something. Or of course you post it in the magic Street Fighter thread!

So here's a terrible thought.

If Joe Punter wandered into GAME today and bought Street Fighter x Tekken and inserted it into his never-been-online Xbox360 he would basically be stuck with that terrible glitchy version with the sound issues and the freezing and everything else, right?
