About Me


Old-school gamer. I started gaming with the Atari 2600. I became an addict with the arcade release of Street Fighter II at my college. The SNES release pushed me into buying that system and a lame arcade stick. I haven't looked back since then. I still consider the 16-bit to be the Golden Age of gaming. The current generation is keeping me pretty happy, especially with the fighting game renaissance that's happening lately. And, yes, I'm old.

Proud owner of: Kiwi Gameboy Color, GBA SP, GBA Micro, PSP 3000, White DS Lite, Silver NeoGeo Pocket, purple SwanCrystal, SNES, Genesis, N64, purple Gamecube, slim PS2, Dreamcast, Wii and PS3.

Favorite Games: Last Blade 2, Street Fighter Alpha 2, Mark of the Wolves, Zelda: A Link to the Past, Zelda: Minish Cap, Dark Stalkers, King of Fighters, Mega Man ZX, Ikaruga, Macross: Do You Remember Love, Raiden Trad, Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Valkyria Chronicles, Professor Layton, Killer7



Games on my mind:
Super Street Fighter II HD Remix (PS3)
King of Fighters XII (PS3)
King of Fighters XIII
King of Fighters 2k2: UM (PS2)
BlazBlue: Continuum Shift (PS3)

King of Dtoiders Week 2 update
nilcam | 10:00 PM on 09.24.2009 9 comments


Week 2 is winding down. Senisan made a strong statement this week. He's out to take #1 from Kirbilot and he won't let me stand in his way. Kirbilot, for his part, is staying strong and playing the dirtiest of dirtiness. It's brutal. 6 players still have to play their matches in the 2 days remaining in Week 2. Remember, those who complete all 15 games will receive a PDF certificate of participation, suitable for framing and displaying with pride. Remember: You only lose if you don't try.

Everyone seems to be enjoying this contest. I'm thinking that we should have a Destructoid ranking battle in a few weeks. Standard, Evo-style double elimination rules would apply. No prizes other than the pride of knowing you're better than others and seeing how far you can take your game. Anyone interested?

I will play, and I will lose. So out of practice!

Shit, I still need to get my five in. This week has been so stressful since I find out if I'm leaving the country for a semester or not. I haven't played much of anything. I predict our matches to be a bloodbath in your favor unless I manage some of that sweet sudden returnee skill.

@Zoel: Why the hate for Joe? I've been a fan of his since Real Bout Fatal Fury.

@CWal37: Bring the pain.

Me and my friend were messing around with his connections yesterday and the only way we were able to get a decent match out of KoF was if the connection was 100% perfect; even a slight drop in quality was enough to make the game lag like crazy. We played Blazblue online and specifically sought out the crappiest connections to -try- to lag the connection up, and we couldn't. Thus, I'm pretty sure it's not a problem with his machine or his connections, but just poor netcode mucking things up. Which sucks becuase the game is really awesome otherwise.

I'll see you online tonight, but if there's bad lag again I don't think it will be worth the time to even finish the contest. When the game has so much input lag that you can't combo something super-simple like Terry's 2HP -> LP Burn Knuckle, there's a problem, especially where poking and footsie is so important in this game and the timing on combos is so strict. And if I can't put forth my best effort, it's ultimately unfair to you and to me.

Here's hoping we can get a stable connection.

I tried to switch my game up by using Robert but that was a failure as you made quick work of him. I may try using a new character next week ^.^

@Gen Eric Gui: It's so odd that I was not experiencing lag like you were. I hope the connection is better because I'd like everyone still in to finish their matches, but I understand all too well the frustration of laggy matches.

@Gen Eric Gui: Just a thought. Has your friend updated the game? Check his game data and if it's more than 800 megabytes, delete the data and boot the game. You'll be prompted to update. It's a large update but it fixes the netcode and several glitches.

The first time we put the game in it updated it, but I'll be sure to check it again today.
