    Is "long distance" even a thing anymore? I know when I was growing up it cost more to call long distance but I figured in these days where everyone has mobile phone numbers with the area code of whatever city they lived in 10 years ago all domestic calls are pretty much treated the same as far as billing goes.

    Yeah, I know international calls still cost more sometimes, but every cell phone I've had lets me call anywhere in the US at no extra charge.

    Eh, it's a swastika backwards and forwards.
  • Okay, I'm slowly getting a hang of how Skullgirls multiplayer works. Sort of.

    Basically, the seemingly infinite combos aren't. There are 'reset' moves that, while counted as part of the combo string, can actually be broken out of. You have to use them eventually to keep the combo up, and if it's blocked the right way, your opponent can break out of it. That's...basically your only hope once the combo starts getting up there. 

    i guess it baffles me because it's playing a completely different metagame than SF. Much faster. Less solutions after you get knocked down (I'm actually missing shoryuken spamming). And the movesets are more esoteric, so it's harder to find one-size-fits-all solutions.

    You know what I never got?

    Why Melvin Purvis gets all the credit for Baby Face Nelson's death when Samuel Parkinson Cowley gets relegated to a role of "Hoover's useless lackey".  I mean, which one of them actually killed Nelson?

    Maybe it's because Cowley and Herman Hollis both died taking out Baby Face Nelson (who used his wife as a human shield, what a dink).  It doesn't make for good movies, having your hero die.

    Or maybe it's because Purvis had a bit of a rapport with the press, and understood how to make a story with himself as the hero.

    Also, it's popular to hate the FBI and Hoover; and Purvis and Hoover hated each other.

    -totally not biased towards Cowley because he lived in a town 27 minutes away from my town and went to USU like me and is one of the few Mormons with an imdb character page-liroz

    There's no Jazz on Queen's new record, in case fans of either were worried about the defilement of an icon. Queen hasn't the imagination to play jazz — Queen hasn't the imagination, for that matter, to play rock & roll. Jazz is just more of the same dull pastiche that's dominated all of this British supergroup's work: tight guitar/bass/drums heavy-metal clichés, light-classical pianistics, four-part harmonies that make the Four Freshmen sound funky and Freddie Mercury's throat-scratching lead vocals.

    Anyway, it shouldn't be surprising that Queen calls its album "jazz." The guiding principle of these arrogant brats seems to be that anything Freddie & Company want, Freddie & Company get. What's most disconcerting about their arrogance is that it's so unfounded: Led Zeppelin may be as ruthless as medieval aristocrats, but at least Jimmy Page has an original electronic approach that earns his band some of its elitist notions. The only thing Queen does better than anyone else is express contempt.

    Take the LP's opening song, "Mustapha." It begins with a parody of a muezzin's shriek and dissolves into an approximation of Arabic music. This is part of Queen's grand design. Freddie Mercury is worldly and sophisticated, a man who knows what the muezzin sounds like. More to the point, you don't. What trips the group up, as usual, is the music. "Mustapha" is merely a clumsy and pretentious rewrite of "Hernando's Hideaway," which has about as much to do with Middle Eastern culture as street-corner souvlaki.

    But it's easy to ascribe too much ambition to Queen. "Fat Bottomed Girls" isn't sexist — it regards women not as sex objects but as objects, period (the way the band regards people in general). When Mercury chants, in "Let Me Entertain You," about selling his body and his willingness to use any device to thrill an audience, he isn't talking about a sacrifice for his art. He's just confessing his shamelessness, mostly because he's too much of a boor to feel stupid about it.

    Whatever its claims, Queen isn't here just to entertain. This group has come to make it clear exactly who is superior and who is inferior. Its anthem, "We Will Rock You," is a marching order: you will not rock us, we will rock you. Indeed, Queen may be the first truly fascist rock band. The whole thing makes me wonder why anyone would indulge these creeps and their polluting ideas.

  • My stance on DLc characters still stands, though I'm now having trouble with different ones.

    Big Band and Beowulf are generally sort of predictable, and I can mount some defense, especially against Big Band. But Eliza and Squigly are still completely baffling

    I thought you were talking about Dick Tracy characters at first.

    The main thing I remember about Baby Face Nelson was that he showed up in O Brother Where Art Thou

    Well, sounds like it's not my type of game, then.

    Squigly's my favorite in terms of both play and character.

    Actually I didn't buy Skullgirls until Squigly was released.
  • @glenn

    i was thinking about how your friend/compatriot recommended you Indivisible with the reasoning that it was "by the Skullgirls people", which confused you because you dont have any interest in Skullgirls

    and i think his reasoning was "Skullgirls, regardless of whether one enjoys it or not, has a reputation as a very well-made game with gorgeous animation, so you could expect Indivisible to share those qualities"

    Ah, fair enough.

    I know that Skullgirls has a good reputation, but I never actually bothered checking it out, since I know it's a fighting game and I know I have no interest in fighting games, so I barely know what some of the characters look like.

    So it wasn't just that I wasn't interested, but furthermore that I basically didn't know anything about Skullgirls other than "it has a good rep".
  • Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    Yeah, that makes sense. Skullgirls stands as a Good Video Game made by Crowdfunding People With Reasonable Goals, so whether or not you like what it is, it is an achievement.

    I tend to enjoy using one or a small number of attacks/skills/whatever to do everything rather than trying to think through a large number of possibilities on the fly.

    Instead I usually weave/dodge/move around things while trying to use the same attack.

    I feel like there should be a regulatory body for divine sorcerers, but I don't know how to introduce that element.

    It's easy when there's a strong locus of power (like a church), but instead nobody claims full moral or political authority, and there's just a lot of smaller centers of political power.

    well, you could still work like that. hell, that's basically what skullgirls is

    it just means that one 'attack' would be a string of, like, 11 button presses. oh, and you'll be jumping in mid-combo constantly.
