SSFIV UK Release 30/04/2010

SSFIV has finally released in the UK today. Hoping to put the Tournament Edition stick that I got a month ago to good use now. Mashing the buttons on it has never felt so good, sadly I do that when I'm idling at my desk at night *shrug*



Lately, I've been watching videos uploaded by players from the US. My favourite of all time since vanilla would have to be Lancecryor. This Psycho Powered machine, in my opinion provides amazing commentary which wins by default. Feel free to check out his other uploads and I recommend subscribing for those SF/Tekken fans out there. Right, I've decided to head out for a mate's Birthday and will consider getting this game. Now it's just a case of what game I should trade in...

Maximum Attack Cross II (Video)

The second mission offers a much smoother run compared to the first; Monster difficulty has been adjusted and scape dolls drop twice throughout the mission. Guess they're catering to the majority out there who prefer to play solo or as a duo. Prepare for green grass, trees, bushes, rolling boulders, traps, two boss fights and a catastrophic finish OTL



Ran this several times last night, recorded all the runs but chose the good ones. I've also removed the first block from the video since it's the same as the previous mission. Participants were myself, Ami, Blade, Keiji, Manisevi, Omega and Yuber.

Personally I really enjoyed the harder difficulty, it made healing an intense job to do. Having to manage my PP, watching health bars to staying alive myself made me concentrate constantly. Now that it's more of a cake walk, I would bring out my Anchor to smack monsters up the ass *shrug*

Soaked in and Sponging

I had doubts about updating after the release of Monster Hunter Tri. Well it seemed unlikely since it’s the only thing I’ve been doing all weekend; over 40 hours have been sunk into playtime and you could say that I'm totally hooked. Now that I think of it, why do I even bother? Loyalties I tell you! This post will serve as a mini review; and MH in general.



Prepare for eye busting paragraphs, slightly in-depth talk and shrunken screen captures.

Maximum Attack Cross II (Update)

Congratulations to all participants in the event as the target for 6,000,000 points was reached. Details are right here.

The 2nd MAX stage has released. Monsters are upped by 5 Levels so it shouldn't be much of a big deal; providing that quite a few have levelled up from the 1st stage. Drop/Type bonuses now apply here and expect video coverage soon.



This paragraph will let me mention a few things about updates too! 2/3 posts are in drafting so I'll be finalizing them later today. I've mostly been busy with MH3 and a few awesome activities in London. Signing out for now!

MH3 UK Release Day 23/04/2010

Coincidentally it was St.George's Day on the release of Monster Hunter Tri for us in the UK. Sadly, the producer Ryozo Tsujomoto and director Kaname Fujiok could not attend for the signing due to the recent Volcanic ash events. To make up for this, the first 100 who attends the opening will have a signed wii sleeve sent to them within the next few weeks. Due to the Phantasy Star Portable 2 MAX Event going live the day before, I didn't manage to catch any sleep at all. Having a coffee with six sugars before leaving the house fired me up, talk about being healthy right?



All the goodies purchased and received are included, not much on depth but I'll get things covered.
