Adon is the man

By Iain 19 July 2010VideogamesNo Comments

Sorry Dan, but my time with you is over. Adon is my new all time favourite now, he's just so awesome. He works well delivering constant pressure, or sitting back and snuffing out any incoming attacks. I'm still working out the best ways to use the Rising Jaguar - it's just not possible to use it as a Shoryuken-type attack,…

Postman Pat is negligent and should be sacked

By Iain 2 May 2010Films/TV, Reflections, Videogames2 Comments

I've been watching Postman Pat quite a lot recently - how he's not been sacked for gross misconduct is beyond me. Every episode, he fucks up and although it does eventually work out in the end, he's incredibly negligent. If he's not losing the labels off packages, turning up incredibly late or letting live animals out of their travel enclosures,…

Street Fighter Alpha 2

By Iain 26 February 2010Internet, VideogamesNo Comments

I think this was also for some kind of Gamesradar Games Guru competition. "The Street Fighter saga may have gone on and on, but in my mind, Street Fighter Alpha 2 was the zenith, the epitome, the finest one on one versus fighting game in history. Capcom stuck to its "if it ain't broke, don’t fix it" strategy, and merely…

2009 Top 10: Street Fighter IV

By Iain 26 December 2009Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

3D graphics on a 2D plane - why did no-one else do this? Well, other people did, but not as good as Capcom. The visuals are amazing - the characters are so full of... well... character, I'm glad Capcom waited until the technology was there before they committed the main series to 3D visuals. Remember Street Fighter EX? Blocky and…

Dan is the man

By Iain 13 November 2009VideogamesNo Comments

Following on from this post, I just thought I'd let you know how I got on last night - It was spectacular and full of victories. Sure, I didn't win every single match, but there were some proper beatings I gave out. Twice I bested some random people who had over 2000 Battle Points - It's great fun when Dan…

How to win at Street Fighter IV forever

By Iain 12 November 2009VideogamesNo Comments

Man, I love Street Fighter IV and I love this video. Annoying people with Dan is sometimes more fun than actually fighting properly. My favourite character is Cammy, I'd say I'm best with her, but I have more fun playing Dan. He is, without a doubt, the worst character in the game, but for some reason I get on better…

SAIKYO!

By Iain 30 October 2009VideogamesNo Comments

Hello. If you answer no to any of the following questions, then this page is not for you. Did you come here following the link in my Xbox Live profile? Did you just play me at Street Fighter IV? Did you lose? Was I Dan? OH DEAR! You clearly need practise, and lots of it. If you answered yes to…

Cheryl “Dictator” Cole

By Iain 18 October 2009Films/TV, Music, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

Hey, did anyone see X-Factor earlier? More specifically, did anyone see Cheryl Cole's outfit? She looked like everybody's favourite psychotic dictator, M.Bison. What next? Louie Walsh wearing a pink gi and giving a thumbs up to everyone in the crowd?
