Replay / Review Episode 4
I've missed video editing so it felt pretty awesome to come back to some familiar territory. Like the video states, I've been experiencing a rather large rough and longish losing streak from about October to January. The "Yakety Sax" montage at the end of the video is summary attempt at what's happened. (If I included all of my blowups I'd probably have exceeded my upload limit, but moving on...) I don't think I ever found the answer to 'replicating,' the best of mindset for fighting games, as much as I'd like to romanticize that it's a Jedi-like approach, I'm very likely mistaking "reaching out with my feelings," for crappy autopiloting.

Guile Theme Comebacks #2
Not sure how I missed posting about this, but as the title says it's another installment of Guile Theme Comebacks / Trollbacks.
Now we're thinking in memes
Another one of my resolutions for 2013 is an attempt to reduce meme-talk. My rule is: if I'm not going to make an image macro of the meme I am saying, then I shouldn't make a meme-reference. If I am going to make a macro out of it, I should do it and be done with it. 
The Uncertain Future
I caught a thought-provoking episode of The Fray this week. Much of the discussion had to do with the future of arcades, models of business and sponsorship in the Fighting Game Community. Anyone that's watched a stream, is thinking about competing, or wanting to do something more than stream monster the chat should listen.
But what had me stop (playing ranked matches) and actually listen, was the was the section about the importance of creator driven content at the last part of the show. I've been kicking around the stuff I've been making/posting. I've enjoyed the 'exploratory,' process that Replay / Review has been, but I still feel like it's been lacking. The prospect of changing focus has been truthfully, unwelcome. But hopefully I can refine what I want to do and have the result be something a bit more unique.
