When one side has disproportionately less than the other, I think that skews the argument.
Worth mentioning Capcom pulled the switcheroo again with Linn Kurosawa: went from white (AvP) to black/tanned (Cannon Spike).

Speaking of the underrepresented in SF, there was Eagle the homosexual British bouncer.

For some reason I still have both Eventhubs and Polygon on my RSS feed.

Polygon because they had some awesome features (which, reading a thread today I realized they're not going to do anymore, so that's being removed) and Eventhubs just cause they post everything. I shouldn't really have Eventhubs there but it's handy on the occasion something isn't posted here.

At the very least polygon has some interesting editorials from time to time but most video game news sites are garbage to me anyway. Eventhubs just does too much.

I used to have Joystiq so I could catch whatever news GAF threads I miss (pretty much only check frontpage of gaming like once a day) but that sort of went to shit too. Been thinking of making a thread about unique blog reccomendations.

Only other gaming RSS I follow is Kotaku Fine Art which is awesome.

I dislike Eventhubs due to its sub-par writing skills learned in high school. Not only that, the ads are annoying as hell so I now just lurk FGC-GAF for links (thanks parallax and thechits for all them posts). Also, Eventhubs getting drama over the stupidest is beyond, why give them the attention they don't deserve? Just ignore them and let them rot in their own filth if they really are in the wrong.

FT20 Flux vs Coach Steve about to start soon. Must win by two. Commentary by Yipes, $500 on the line. :eek:

EDIT: Just got raised to $550. :O

I swear, this rivalry will never end. Coach Steve made it to top 8, so did Rayray, a teammate of Flux on Team Control but Flux didn't even reach top 8. So tell me, what does that say about Flux?

Yoooooooooo Guardians of the Galaxy was sick. Bummed that I missed ATP but it was worth it.

i think eventhubs itself is fine... i appreciate people like karby who helps translate/relay a lot of japanese fighting game news. the things that suck about eventhubs are A. dreamking, who seemingly only writes tabloid-esque articles and B. the comments which are soul devouring.
 
I fucking hate myself.

I coulda watched GotG for free three and a half hours ago but I made myself sick so my brother went and watched it for free by himself.

fuckin' called it, man
It was a good dumb,
unless you were hoping for some sort of plot advancement like other stingers.
I guess it's ok for fan service, I just don't have any affinity for the character. But if it's there to say they're making a new movie about that character then that's dumb.

Does Batista Batista bomb or do any other wrestling moves?

Nothing memorable really. He was getting knocked left and right. Rocket Raccoon on the other hand was laying down the smackdown.

Really? Because it was a full house at the 8pm showing I just got back from. Just because your podunk, backwater, VF-playing town doesn't appreciate good cinema don't mean nothin' maaaaaaan

is the guardians as popular as VF down there?
Oh snap.
I see you guys are going straight for my balls

GotG was gr8 and I hope it does well - word of mouth and RT will give it legs, it'll probably top Snyder flops. but most people don't know about the comix and the cast is relatively unknown

Groot does more wrestling moves than Draxtista does.

I guess it was FT25. Coach Mook gave Flux that work.

man insaynne destroyed flux. better player vs player with better characters. i think insaynne has a good chance of taking chris g's old spot as king of new york if he keeps improving the way he has.

Guardians was very good, but I still have Cap 2 #1, Avengers is #3, with GotG in the middle.

The good thing about the Poison kerfluffle is that it forced Capcom to stop trying to "appease" this mythical conservative American audience on this stuff, and that was a very good thing. And hey, who doesn't like talking about Poison? She's awesome! Way better than most topics.
 
So I just randomly came across this IGN review of MVC2 for Xbox when browsing a trading site that shows IGN review scores. It got a 3.9?!

Said review can be found here.

Now, I should note that it was posted on April 1, so I think it might be an April Fools joke -- some of the "critiques" point to it as well, because they're so dumb.

That being said, the review doesn't really read like a satire at all -- at least to me.

Thoughts?
