Street Fighter III Third Strike is my undisputed favorite. The flow of combat is so well done, along with incredible animations. It just FEELS right for martial arts action in the 2D fighter style. The flow is so amazing and the controls are so refined. No other fighter has matched this level...

C++ is definitely at the top of my list. Managed C++ can go to hell though. I usually end up making a conversion class for everything and just doing things in normal C++, converting as necessary. I have experience in C++, Java, and VisualBasic. With C++ I've used both DirectX9, and OpenGL...

If more rap was optimistic and there were more mixed style songs then perhaps I would like it a lot more. I actually enjoyed Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann's rap songs quite a bit.

1000 is a mini series project, by the studio Secret Sauce, that is trying to get funding via Kickstarter. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1235790455/1000-the-animated-micro-series The comic book influence is noticeable. It sounds like it will end up being an Avengers/Justice League...

I liked it better when they did not auto play. It allowed me to open tabs in the background for each video and article I wanted to view at the beginning of my visit, and work my way through them after that. I have currently reactivated FlashBlock on this site for that reason. One reason I...

Obey My Eyes Commanding Eyes Kneel Before My Eyes C.C. Lapdance / C2 Lapdance ... >_> What?

A few things. There is a reason why cartridge based systems these days have load times. First off, load times have generally four factors. Medium transfer speed, receiving system memory speed, system processing power, and game code efficiency. Since we can rule out cartridge speed and...

That reminds me of the logout save you could do in Minecraft (before they patched it). If you logged off during a huge fall, just before you land, logging back in will restart your momentum and you will land safe and sound.

I didn't go and verify if it is open, but: Geass Slayer Sounds relatively neat, since you have a Lelouch avatar and all.

I like to experience games in their natural and intended state, so I'd never use Save States or any variation of the technology unless I am studying a game. This is partially an extension of my preference for not cheating, and instead growing as a player. Not being able to lose or fail, when...

For me it is all about those great arcade ports. At the time, and even quite a while after, it was the only home to best, if not only, versions of some great arcade games. I got a Dreamcast sometime after I got a Gamecube and before getting the Xbox360. At this time it was discontinued of...

Swat Kats got name dropped in the comments for this week's Big Picture. Does anyone else remember that show? It was particularly well done, especially for it's time and genre I think. I remember how the tech advanced as the series progressed, they added and kept additional systems and...

I use to use Magic Launcher but MultiMC is basically the next step above it. You don't lose any of your original configurations. You don't need to worry about updates breaking your old profiles. It saves everything separated and contained. No cross contamination, worrying about version...

You have to apply any mods again once you update. All of minecraft's important files are stored in one big file (minecraft.jar). That file is deleted and replaced with the updated version when updating, so any mod you applied to it will also be lost. I would recommend using MultiMC...

If by niche you mean games that have a smaller audience for it's genre/style/release platform, then I would pick the following. Of course I have to admit that I probably won't be playing anything off this list for a while. Developing my first game keeps me way too busy, and currently way too...
