Shoryuken.com reborn as blog/wiki/site worth reading.
From the new and improved Shoryuken:
"Ask anyone how they became addicted to fighters and they’ll tell you a story about some amazing player they saw somewhere. What you won’t here is anything about polygons, newfangledness, or any of the rest of the stuff a marketing department can tell you about. If you want something to happen, make it happen. Stop waiting for something new and realize that you’ve already been graced with some of the finest competitive games ever created. Stop being ashamed about video games, or about the fact that your game of choice is not just another FPS. "
Street Fighter = good. World of Warcraft = bad.
Gamasutra - Soapbox - "World of Warcraft Teaches the Wrong Things":
"Another very important lesson was that winning at Street Fighter is a meritocracy. Your race doesn't matter. Your religion doesn't matter. The only thing that matters in a tournament is your ability to win. The community looks up to those who can win, regardless of ethnicity. There is no substitute for growing up in an environment that cares about results, rather than race. Nothing a teacher or parent could ever say measures up to that life experience about race-relations."

No giant buttocks glued onto Mario’s forehead.
Mario Adventure: The Best NES Game Hack of All Time
Awesome! Think I'll play it now on my Palm T|X* via the Little John multi-system emulator. It's quite possibly the best open source app for PalmOS ever. Hell, maybe just the best app ever, period!
*Thanks Pop!

You have the audacity to present me with that guitar sound, you idiot? It's an insult!
In 1997 The Onion interviewed Dennis Flemion.
O: What's the worst song on the radio right now?
DF: Um, I don't know. What's that silly one? That one I fucking... I don't know the names of them; I just hear them. I would never purchase their... If you're all listening, I would never purchase your shit, ever. I will never support you. And mind you, these bands are selling millions, so fuck 'em. At least the big ones like us. I don't know. And we're good! Why can't we get the throngs? What is with these idiots? Why won't they come? I don't know, you analyze all this stuff after a while. Maybe it's a sex thing; maybe our band has to be more sexual, have more sex appeal. If they like your face... Almost invariably, all the bands that succeed are the ones with a lead singer who's good-looking. It's funny that that's not dumped upon, that people don't say, "You know, that's played out. That's not cool anymore. If you do that, you're an asshole and an idiot. We're going to laugh at you, as if you were in Vegas. You've got a fuzz pedal? Phhht. Blow me. You've got a big amp? Get the fuck out. Ooh! You've got big amps! Ooh! I'm impressed. The lead singer's got his shirt off?" I don't know. Bring a gun. That's got to be the new thing in rock. After the millennium, there has to be a guaranteed one death per show. Not the rock star—it's in his court. You take a chance going to the rock show. Somebody's going to die that night, guaranteed. The lead singer runs out, the band's just starting to jam, and boom! He just shoots, and then starts singing. That'd be perfect for a video.

Riot Porn
Yes Jeremy, you are correct. Webster's third definiton:the depiction of acts in a sensational manner so as to arouse a quick intense emotional reaction<the pornography of violence>
