"Evil Ryu, Oni & some tweaked character balancing? Want! Although if I don't win the code give-away I'd say I'm pretty unlikely to pick it up until the price is right as I already own SFIV and SSFIV - I mean, how many times can you buy essentially the same game?

Also, nice chip-tune - you can here the full track here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzBxqBsEIlE

And there's a whole heap of his stuff over on SoundCloud: http://soundcloud.com/moapillar/tracks?page=1"

"Great article - hits the nail squarely on the head & made me laugh at the same time.

I might even dig out my old copy of Aliens Vs. Predator, though I'm likely to have as much chance running it in DOSBox as 64-Bit Windows 7..."

"Speedrun! Single-segment speedrun!

Just kidding - you did great to get to where you did.

And as a compliment, I read the whole thing with a big schadenfraude grin =D"

"Great article, and I've got to say you've hit the nail on the head for reasons I also don't game as much as I used to. The money angle isn't so much of an issue for me - I've made the same deal the rest of the working world has: I've sold my time in exchange for money, and now I'm cash rich and time poor.

As I work full-time and have a wife and kids, there simply isn't the time to fulfill all my work and family obligations -AND- spend more than a couple of hours on a weekend, if I'm lucky. For this very reason although I'm still psyched to pick up games like Fable II or Fallout III - it would take me the best part of a year to get through them in the bite-sized chunks I can afford, and I'm thinking the entire immersion factor would be sucked out of them by playing in that fashion, so instead I try for the pick-up n' put-down games - Trials HD, Rez, SSFIV etc. to get my gaming fix.

Another thing I've found myself doing is that when I do manage to get a block of time on a weekend, I try to arrange to meet up a mate and play some co-op, so we get to chat and catch-up while we do some sparring, racing or co-op shooty-stuff.

Don't get me wrong, I still love gaming - it's just that at this point in my life the time element of it all asks for more than I am able to give."
