What did Capcom do to the USA network in a past life to deserve this kind of treatment?
Yes, it’s another set of painfully bad clips from the Iron Chef of awful cartoons: TheSwitcher. This time, it’s USA’s Darkstalkers cartoon, which was so bad that even as a semi-serious Darkstalkers player, I didn’t know this even existed. As it turns out, ignorance was bliss–watch at your own risk.
Thanks to TheSwitcher himself for the tip. Chris complains about our lack of tips and the next day they’re flooding in! That’s great, but next time complain about our lack of 10$ bills, dummy.
After completely cracking out on the original Lost Planet, I’ve been trying to steer clear of the new builds of Lost Planet Colonies haunting our office in order to, you know, keep my job. I am forced to report that I have failed, and am indeed playing me some Colonies.
This game is filled with juicy juice, from lots of new maps, weapons, gametypes, and characters, and of course the ability to PLAY AS NIGH-INDESTRUCTIBLE 50-ft BUGS IN MULTIPLAYER.
Anyway, I am justifying my new addiction by making some of these extremely professional-looking videos taking you inside some of the new features. This first one (still featuring my sexy, sexy monotone!) gives you a little lowdown on the new Flame Launcher. It’s like a rocket launcher, but, you know, for flames.
For the record, this is completely Capcom-related and not just a cheap excuse to post a video of Kristin Kreuk hanging around on the beaches of Thailand. She’s on those Thai beaches to play Chun Li, people, and there’s totally a shot of her doing some Tai Chi. Further study may be required.
Remember the old Street Fighter bonus stages? For some reason, I was always a decent enough SF player, but I never could handle those damn things. The car was hit or miss (unless I cheated with Blanka or Chunster), but man, those friggin’ barrels! The masters of hijinks at Mega64 offer their real world take on the car-crushing bonus spectacle from Street Fighter II. This video makes me nostalgic for my old San Diego neighborhood…
Speed runs! I love them so that means you do too! Follow the link to check out Daniel ‘Kareshi’ Brown blowing through the game not once, but twice (remember, the first time you send Satan packing, it turns out it was just an illusion so you have to run through the entire game *again* to actually win).
Although this game is widely regarded as one of the hardest NES games ever released, Daniel does it all in an amazing 22 minutes and 56 seconds! Click here for the video and his level-by-level breakdown of expert tricks.
The sounds of Mega Man 3 (aka Rockman 3), vocalized. That’s game start, an entire level, and a boss fight (against the anemic Snake Man), sung by what appears to be helium-addicted Japanese chipmunks.
I suggest watching this no more than once if you value your sanity.
In case you’ve had trouble sleeping, my golden pipes are back to explain the intricacies behind the recent round of Crimson Viper screenshots. The slideshow + audio breaks down her complete repertoire of special attacks and a few of the cheap things you can do with them.
Ipod-friendly version of this video is here, and the special move breakdown for Abel is here.
While there’s nothing as exciting as playing Street Fighter IV, I think we can all agree that listening to my nasal monotone narrating a slide show of SFIV stills is a very close second.
As such, please enjoy this little overview of Abel’s specials moves, how they work, and a few of the horrible things you can do with them to the people you love. If you are too good for youtube, a more easily ipodified link can be found here.
