   my system is still very broken, I'm going to have to find a solution to this soon.

   The beginning sounds with a black screen + you playing the game = 25 seconds. A bit too long for an intro without any talking in my mind. 3 seconds of black screen + 8 seconds of you playing would have been plenty in my mind.
   
   Otherwise a good weekly review! Also - grats on the comp working!

    17 Jul 2009 ~ 11:35am Myrmidon I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that is thoroughly frustrated by Creative.

    What stick are you using? How would you rate it?

    no.. NO.. NO!
    
    eff.
    
    That happens all to regularly. You watch a piece your working on so many times that you don't pay attention to details. Lord, my director at work would KILL me if he saw that mistake, I'd never hear the end of it.
    
    ...Then again I was wrestling with the Win7 COM Surrogate error for five hours. I was stressed, tired, and not paying enough attention.
    
    man Creative sucks.
    
    Cliff - I'm using Madcatz Street Fighter IV Fightstick SE. I would rate it garbage. They put very cheap components in it for the joystick and push buttons that generally break within weeks. (the rest of the stick, however, is top quality). I actually bought the stick so I could strip the cheap parts and replace with authentic Sanwa parts, which will make it a top tier custom stick while still looking great.
    
    The Sanwa parts have yet to come in the mail. When they do, I'm making a video tutorial of how to swap out parts.
    
    So if you're planning on modding the stick, the SE version is totally worth it. If you're not modding, it's a risky buy.

    Wall-E is 45 minutes without talking, and it's heralded as one of the greatest animated films ever.

    17 Jul 2009 ~ 12:36pm Thrax Are you asserting that this is the greatest web video ever?
15. 
    17 Jul 2009 ~ 12:38pm Snarkasm I think Tim would have something to say about that.
16. 
    17 Jul 2009 ~ 12:46pm Thrax It's not the longest-running, though. Bobby didn't say that!

    17 Jul 2009 ~ 1:16pm UPSLynx dangit, your right. I retract that statement.
    
    I've got a good 9 years to go yet.

    17 Jul 2009 ~ 6:24pm Gate28 Speaking of Wall-E, what is that behind the monitor when you fall and get KO'd?
