Marvel VS Capcom 3

Initial Thoughts

So I finally got a hold of the long desired Marvel VS Capcom 3. I have waited for this game long since it was initially announced. I remember always plugging quarters into Marvel VS Capcom 2 at the arcade. I never played the game very often but I had a pretty unstoppable team of Wolverine, Ryu, and some other third character. But those two were always in my team, I tended to lean towards Cyclops so I could spam the shit out of the opponent with my laser beam.

Well, I was never good at this game, ever, I mean sure I could beat the shit out of my brother and his friends whenever we went to the arcades. However, once I started fighting computers, the story changed, I wasn't so good at this point. Anyways, I played MVC2 every once and a while and I was just utterly stoked to play MVC3 and now that it's out, what are my thoughts?
Meh, lacking really, I know the roster is smaller, I was aware of this prior to buying it. Simply because they aren't using sprites so they can't just pallet swap them like in the old game. This isn't a huge complaint with me, the roster is, well, alright I guess.

But my big complaint, honestly, is the lack of content. Seriously, this game feels like it was simply riding on the Marvel VS Capcom 3 title! Like, "Hey kids! Ready for the sequel to the greatest fighting game of all time!?" so of course everyone is excited! I dunno, I'm just thinking they could have done a better job of putting it together rather than just putting up characters to fight. It's really all that's going on, the storyline is bleh, but who cares about the storyline right? I do enjoy that you can pick certain characters to be voiced in japanese or english, it's a nice lil addition to any fighting game. But there is SUCH a lack of options here! You can't buy anything for the characters, you can't buy costumes, levels, or anything spiffy with the points you are acquiring, hell, I dunno what these POINTS are even doing other than just being there...

Online... dear god the most boring waste of time I have ever experienced, EVER! You wait, and wait and wait for upwards of twenty minutes for a match. Oh, and if you get disconnected or fail to find a connection, the game will "LOAD" and then toss you back to the very opening main menu to shimmy through another menu to get to the xbox live action. It's obnoxious! Oh, and when you join a lobby that allows up to 8 people to play, 6 of those people are gonna be waiting, without the option of watching the match. Just waiting, till the fight is over. It's boring!

I dunno, this game is fun, but nothing like I thought it would be, I would love to rant more but this is becoming obnoxiously long, and no, I'm not gonna proof read any of this. My match online is finally starting... whatever.

NAWK Comic #7

Here's the newest NAWK Comic that I literally just finished today. I know there is a bit of a gap between #3 to this one, #7. But I've archived all those comics in the archive so yall can check them out in the link. But let's be honest, valentines day makes everyone have a lil bit of a panic attack when they don't have anyone, or are just simply trying to find that perfect gift.
Oh, and NAWK Toons Review #8 is being worked on, it's gonna be much shorter than the last one, but that's just gonna allow me to bring it out a lil bit faster. While I'm working on that one I'm gonna be starting on a cross review between me and Adam Mumma, who makes his own online comic series. We are gonna have our characters cross over. He will be voicing his character and the most I will reveal about our cross review is that there will be zombies. No, I don't consider zombies to be overplayed at all, and never will think that. Zombies are awesome, oh and one of the cast characters is gonna get turned by the zombies! Who could it possibly be! This character will never be the same after the cross over review!
Okay, enough talk about new stuff, I can't wait for Marvel VS Capcom 3, ill be getting it on release day so I'll be giving my initial thoughts like I did with Dead Space 2. So peace out gangstuhs, and ya know, game on and what not.

23

yup, so your lovable idiot has just turned 23 and you know what i'm looking forward too? the traditional ah-so visit. every year on my super rad birthday my family and some friends always go eat dinner at my favorite restaurant.
here's hoping that by the time i hit 24 NAWK will be more known than it is today :)

NAWK Toons Review 7

Finally, after nearly a year NAWK Toons Review 7.

Space Hulk!!!!

I've decided to take it upon myself to do some NAWK Comics and take a lil break from animating. Anyways, with that lil bit of news out of the way, I was surfing youtube and came across a classic game I had long forgotten. Turns out it was released on the PSX! Which makes it very plausable for me to pick up and play if I ever find it on the streets of ebay. I remember running down narrow corridors in this Alien type scenario game. Anyways, enjoy the intro to this classic game from my childhood.

Terabrite

I recently came across a very promising band on youtube, and I plan on giving them plenty of praises. I love their sound, it's very punk and very light to listen to. I completely enjoy this band, check them out. I'm gonna go resume scaring the poop out of myself on Dead Space 2.

Dead Space 2

Initial Thoughts

This game is SCARY! I' m only on chapter 5, but this game is terrifying and extremely difficult. For me at least, maybe it's just cause I have horrible aim and can't turn a corner fast enough, but this game is hard.
Check this, you know how in the first one, you start out with no weapons and run away from the necromorphs? Well this one, you start out in a straight-jacket and have to run from them. Needless to say, I died a freakin lot at the beginning of the game.
I honestly enjoy how Isac is more narriative in this game than the last one. Last game, he was the quiet protagonist, this game he's more of a person and you feel more drawn in to the experience. I absolutely love it, the controls are the same, the mechanics are the same, it's perfect, it doesn't feel too different from the first one, but more evolved. There are a couple new features added, such as vent crawling, and spearing necromorphs with picking up spears and throwing them. Also the stomping and punching function feels way more satisfying.
The game is intense, and tons of fun. I can't wait to see the ending to this game.
