The Road To Maxout Part 2

Good luck finding one of these unopened

What else could it possibly be...
Well it looks like I will be able to at least enter two tournaments at Maxout out and that is Blazblue Continuum Shift Extend. I was not going to enter before because of not being able to find a copy of the game until now. Thankfully the KC Shoryuken group I play with was able to help me out and after a long night of work I was able to stop by and pick up the last copy they had of the game. Not only that, but it was also the limited edition so I got all the extra goodies such as the art book, soundtrack, and calender for $59.99. I have yet to spend time with it besides installing the game since I wanted to play my other new game today.

I ended up getting my copy of Devil May Cry HD Collection the very same day. I ended up playing through the first mission of DMC1 and that was it. So far I love all the extras they added including all the music and unreleased art that you can look at in glorious HD. I only wish you could zoom in and out, but that is only a minor complaint. I will be playing DMC HD on and off whenever I am not training for maxout out. Expect more coverage after the 21st.
Time to start training again...

The Road To Maxout Part 1

Flyer Design by Leah Johnson

I will be preparing for Maxout an upcoming tournament put up by KC SRK members. At the moment I am looking for a partner in Street Fighter X Tekken and if I can find one soon I will probably enter into it. Mainly I will be preparing for Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and I will need to spend a lot of time practicing it so I can get back to how I use to play and even better. I'll be back next time after I get some time in and see if I can get someone to partner up with and see how my UMVC3 team still holds up (Frank West, Dante, Vergil ).

Metal Gear...In HD? Part 2


Time to go back to the U.S.S.R.
 Metal Gear Solid 3 is a very special game to me for many reasons, mainly because it was the 1st Metal Gear game I owned and beat. Since I was a bit to young to play more than just a demo of MGS 1 and 2 as a kid, I was SUPER excited when I got Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence and decided to wrap my entire life around it for about the next year. This was because I have not played many games like MGS3 before content wise as well as such a memorable experience. MGS3 gets so many things right I couldn't help but, think an HD remastering would be the perfect addition to one of my favorite games of all times.
