Scolding Review: Tin Man part 1

Asylum always knew Iron Man would be a hit. 5 years ago, I sat in a theater, with only a confused old lady and a smooching couple to watch Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li. It was a story I thought made sense to tell, with people I knew playing characters I liked. We all know how that turned out. Well, for those who don't the story was a complete affront to the source material. How could these film makers take something we were all familiar...

Mind over creative matter

A few weeks ago, it was announced that a plane simulator had been flown outstandingly by non-pilots using a helmet that directly obeyed their mental commands. "That certainly seems like it could change aeronautics..." I thought. "...but how does that make my dreams come true?" I wasn't thinking about dreams of a future utopia or equality or anything like that. I meant the weird mental mini-movies that play when you're asleep. For the longest...

5 things modern fighting games should not be doing.

I remember it like it was yesterday. My father and I walked into this place where he used to buy old issues of various magazines. And out in the corner, there she was. Street Fighter 2.

I sacrificed that coin to watch an Hindu Stereotype beat my...

I don't want to go too much into it, but I'll just say sometimes you get challenged to a fight to the death and you do it, but death fights are no fun. People could die on those.

ROMantic shenanigans: Creepy music edition

My cousin Brett has, like, a million roms. I believe he is despicable, and his practice of downloading roms is depriving game companies of much needed income. However, I recently had a though while in his house all the way in Vieques: what happens if you load a savestate of one game into another. You see, I wanted Knuckles in Sonic one. It didn't pan out, but check out this weird songs I got out of it! I have yet to catch some of the visual weirdness on camstudio, but trust me, I've gotten some weird shit to happen. You know, when I go to...
