For sure, it's like a less violent version of playing it at summer camp :P Read more

I looked at the picture and immediately could hear the music in my head for the level:

Why don't more developers start get this? Clear and simple maps are awesome! Read more

It's because Facing Worlds is the only truly symmetrical, yet simple map in the game. Even the 2K3/4 and UT3 "evolutions" failed in this respect by complicating the maps too much in order to allow campers instead of open conflict at the flag. Read more

It's so... strange to me that many people getting into FPS games now may never know the "intimacy" of LAN parties and simplistic maps like the article states. Back in college (although that really wasn't too long ago), getting our ACM chapter together for some Facing Worlds was one of the best memories of my long Read more

Eddy, the most hated character in the Tekken 3 roster for the reasons above. I use to take great pride taking Eddy mashers to school with Jin Kazhama before they gave him a lobotomy in Tekken 4. Tag Especially. I had a friend who would brag up and down about how no one could beat him at Eddy. Would always see him Read more

Now playing

I was the exact same with Hwoarang in the Tekken series. I wrecked everyone with that motherfucker. He made me actually take up TKD until I made it to my red belt.

The first time I played Tekken 3, I was hilariously bad. I was used to 2D fighting games, where the buttons
