The Retun of Anime: Sword of the Stranger

Well it's about fucking time. Here's a nice little gem that probably went under everyone's radar. I haven't enjoyed the anime genre honestly for the past 5 years. The worn out cliches of God-children, high school coming of age tales and teen Robot wars has really taken it's toll on the anime enjoyment process for me. So it's really nice to see a movie take a step back and return to the creative aspect of anime that hasn't been revisited since the 90's. Produced by Studio Bones (Cowboy Bebop KOHD, Wolfs Rain) this is old school anime through and through with action and animation to die for and a nice little story about a boy, his dog and a nameless samurai trying to forget his past. Plot points wont be ruined here but if you love redemption pieces this one's got it all. Released on DVD in April 2008 in Japan I am doing everything in my power to get this one into the store. Subtitled trailer below. Enjoy. Do yourself a favor and seek this one out.

Arcade games are back! Street Fighter 4 hits!

It's been about a month since 40th street Universal Pinball got their 2 Street Fighter 4 arcade cabinets flown from Japan. This game is really something! I don't know how they did it, but Capcom fused all the play mechanics of the past street fighters into one monster of a fighting engine. It's incredibly balanced and the 3D graphics really take the animation up a notch. You can see animation on every detail, the hairs on Zangiefs chest move, each finger of Abel's hands animate when he's standing still, its all in there. I've been dropping quarters in trying to master the system. If your in the center city area you really have to take a trip and try the engine out. Focus attack video after the jump.

Back For The First Time!

Sorry again for the delay. Porn, bad video games and shitty comics have been killing my free time. Oh yeah and the store. Galaxy is really coming around. Who knew? Anyway back to business. Instead of only creating posts when the shit hits the fan. I'll be posting anytime I want to run my mouth. Anything from games to terribly immature Web videos will now be posted. That way you can always find something amusing when you visit. On that note here we go.
