Update: Ultimate Sapphire Edition! pt 2.
Oh yeah, and Marvel vs Capcom 2 finally came out. And I bought it. And it's just as stupid hard as I remember it. Nothing makes you feel like you suck quite like getting beat on the first match on the "easy" setting. Really, calling it "easy" is just plain disingenuous.

The Tenuous Veil
ARG! Why isn't Marvel vs. Capcom 2 out yet?! Not even a demo! ARG!
Sigh. I'm at work as I write this. My job allows a certain about of down time between tasks. Usually I spend this time surfing the net and reading about games. Recently though I've reached a saturation point were everything I care to read about has been read. Digested, regurgitated, consumed again. It feels very bovine. But my pasture has turned sour and the sweet veil of this distraction has been lifted. What it reveals is the harsh reality that I am at work, and as such I am not playing video games. I need to find some other sort of mind candy to suckle so I don't have to spend the next 9 hours facing this reality. To form an analogy (because I like analogies), I am like a small child being made to sit quietly through some long, gray, adult ritual, and I need some freaking crayons.
Wikipedia to the rescue.

I Want the Chipper Chicken
I am very excited that in 9 days I will be able to afford Marvel vs. Capcom 2. It is coming to XBLA and PSN, presumably for less that the $80 it goes for on ebay. It would be really funny though if come the 29th it cost 6400 Microsoft Points.
I rented this game quite a few years ago. It was fun to play against others because of the extreme button-mashiness of it. Fighting games are great when everyone sucks. I spent the one player mode screaming hurtful things that I will probably have to answer for in the after life. The game is hard. Yet I still want to play it again. If nothing else I'd play it just to spend hours getting my ass kicked, grinding out points to spend on unlocking the 300-some characters. I really like unlocking things.
*It's not really 300, it's like 50 something. Still though, FIFTY SOMETHING.
