Life With Imaginary Power-Ups #25-#26

Upon double checking my posts, it has come to my attention that I have two LWIPU entries. Seeing that it's a double post, I did what any right-minded, sensible blogger would do...which is neglect editing it and just combine two entries again to make up for a mistake that is just so easy to edit but takes too much time. (That's like 5 minutes...uggh...)

*Injustice had a successful reintroduction into our local scene. Hopefully interest picks up within the community and it also builds up to match (or even surpass) the defunct MK Scene.

*Follow up: New game meaning new match-ups. Once again I dive into learning the in's and out's of facing different characters. It just brings me so much joy to read about what works and what doesn't on certain characters.

*The Excellent Adventures of Mike Ross and Gootecks is back. Need I say more?

*I was recently reintroduced to DotA (in the form of DotA2) and I've been hooked ever since. Not gonna lie, I enjoy the game. It has come to a point where certain days and times of the week have been set to playing DotA with my friends around the globe. It's pretty enjoyable even when we're losing.

*Ultra Street Fighter is fast approaching and with all the changelogs and new shit I am again faced with the pressure of switching characters. Don't get me wrong, I love Makoto but Sakura, Yun, Cody and Oni tease me at every turn. Ugggh....

*I always think about the differences between (Street Fighter) Third Strike and SF4 and I think Nuki (one of the 5 SF Gods) put it best. He says that "the SF4 game engine is designed to be "knowledge-based" and rewards you on how much you know about your character and your opponent while 3rd strike is where a person's reads, reactions and senses are crucial. This is also his reason why he prefers 3rd strike over Sf4.

*Just when I thought I had some time off after finishing a couple of series ( Masters of Sex and True Detectives), in comes a buttload of other series I have yet to watch (Castle, Strike Back, Helix, the upcoming GoT etc.) Fuck it...goodbye extra time. :(

*Speaking of series, HIMYM is coming to a close. Hapsad. Sappy. :() :)(...hmmm, those aren't words... So I'm just gonna go with bittersweet-ish to express how I feel about this situation.
