The Cool: Drunken Control Surprise

#TheCool doing what it is we always do on Sunday and this week has been a hype one and there's a lot to get into and for a change before Pimpin Time is tackle the 2/3's of subtitle for the week because it was the hypest things of the week.

[Insert Video Here That Won't Destroy My Editing! Cool Video Anyway Dawg!]

You should watch this. 75 Minutes of Jim Ross & Ric Flair going nuts under the impression that they may be allegedly drunk of their asses. This shit is something beyond hilarious and wrestling fan or not is a must see. I would've saved this for the final portion of the installment as I always do but it was too damn good not to feature off the bat. For now you can watch it HERE and if it appears on YouTube I'll edit this accordingly.

The 2nd of the 3rd's is Kendrick Lamar's verse on Big Sean's Control. To be honest I wouldn't be talking about this at all if it wasn't all over my feeds everywhere this week. You're free to interpret that however you wish if you actually care.

Hopefully the message that Kendrick was trying to send to his peers makes it but with all these rappers you haven't heard about in years trying to grab to that fame even for a hot second is any indication then I don't think they haven't quite yet. Honestly, Hip Hop has been in my rear view for years just because of the recent genre shift and everybody has their take on it and I won't soapbox on it here. I'll admit some of the stuff now is real catchy and in trade all I try to do when something takes hold is have said song repeat on YouTube until I dispel the earworm or in most cases just find the instrumental because I don't remember the last time a rapper said something that even made any sense anyway. It should be interesting to see where this takes the game because of all the buzz being generated.

The Climax of the Xrds (hint, hint) will be saved for after Pimpin Time for a reason. Speaking of your weekly dose of PT is that for 3 weeks in a row no SMB2. Still not feeling up to doing what I does on that end of the spectrum. Be ready for that feel to hit me and get back to work though.

As usual #DoaGHThaDOJO doesn't take a holiday in contuining the philanthropic efforts of bringing you the best that fighting games have to offer.

Arcana Heart 3 LOVE MAX!!!!!, Project Justice, Under Night In-Birth, Chaos Code NeSiCa & Shin Koihime Musou are all available for your viewing pleasure now. #DoaGHThaDOJO...The Vestige For A Dying Breed!

And with PT out the way we can get to this week in gaming covering something I should've covered last week with the 1st Loketest of Guilty Gear XXX Sign. Xrd my ass. Just saying.

It would seem with the evidence presented is that XXX is the next step in the 2D fighter. Sprites are dying a bit at a time and that isn't a bad thing. The demand for fighters as high as it has ever been and with these new techniques used by ASW & SNK to keep the feel but not lose the soul is what is needed more than ever. When it comes to XXX gameplay wise it's the GG you know and love but ASW doing what they've been doing since Blazblue is lowering the bar a bit to get more people in faster and having fun while doing so. These vids however don't do the game "Justice" however from what you can see is XXX is going to be that fighter that will set the stage for fighters for this upcoming generation. As far as what XXX can provide in the future here's hoping for Jam, Slayer & Bridget seeing as Order=Sol might not be making this party and since this game is after Overture than Sin, Raven (who because of canon reasons may be in this game), Valentine & Izuna. Don't really know if Dr. Paradigm would actually make for a good fighter. He can be not-Kokonoe or something because there's only one Kokonoe. Be wise to remember that. XXX is looking good and I'm hype for it because it's more Guilty Gear for everyone. ASW wasn't done yet which brings us to the Climax of the Xrd in our subtitle for the week...

Persona 4 Arena: Climax's Surprise Loketest which may still be happening even now. P4AC adds 2 new characters from Persona 3 in Junpei Iori & Yukari Takeba. You can learn about the changes and the new characters by clicking HERE because where we go from this point is in a completely different lane.

Remember this video I made last year. It's here for one reason. To be a time marker. This video represents the first and last time I ever played Persona 4 Arena. I played that game for that one long lab session and never picked the game up again. The thing is I love watching the game at high levels and seeing that makes me want to pick the game back up. Being honest though there's a strong disconnect between me and the Persona series period. I've always wanted to get into the Shin Megami Tensei series and in proxy Persona but I didn't know about those games when I had time to devote to an 80 Hour Story and now because nothing can keep my attention for more than 5 seconds it'll probably never happen. The reason I say all of this is because it was a major reason I stopped playing. I wanted to come in to P4A with some attachment to something Persona but it just wasn't there. Because of my stance of not playing online or having someone local to play it with to evolve, my interest just waned and it seems that this will be a game I may have to settle for watching others evolve instead of it being me. I hold out the hope that I'll find that fire again and anybody who's been keeping up with me throughout the years knows my struggle in finding it but I'm still searching for it. Anything can change from now till then and if I find my way to Climax then it happens and if not then just so.

Moving right along is our first look at GTA Online. The thing is while I'm hyped for the possibilities is that when 4 first dropped the whole family was on it and that lasted about a week before it didn't matter anymore. I really don't know what the rest of the team is going to get V on but it'll be a major factor on what system I end up getting it on.

Here's a sneak "listen" to the epilogue for Final Fantasy X & X-2 HD. I'm guessing this will close the book on those games and if the internet is to be believed is that Lightning is Yuna & Tidus' kid. Should be a great listen.

Highschool DxD is coming to 3DS as a Strategy RPG which isn't surprising but the series does lend itself to many genres of games so here's hoping for the games to diversify.

Ducktales Remastered dropped on everything but XBLA this week and this is another game that proves that my attention span is so gone. I played the intro stage and I have zero initiative to pick it back up and play more of it. At the same time I didn't really play the NES version all that much anyway so this may be a tad lost on me. It played fairly well based on my experience from the NES version and the VA is spot on which does makes me wonder why all the complaints about it. Sounds just like an episode of the show which was the invocation the game is trying to make anyway.

In other stuff I got the chance to get some time in with Zatanna in Injustice and I like her. If I actually played the game I'd actually play as her. But since my time with Injustice is just testing out the DLC characters as they drop I accept it as such.

In contrast if the picture above is to be believed is that my attention span is fine. How my Sega Saturn ended up playing Cyberbots is a mystery to you but not to me. Even a stoic person such as I can have a whimsical moment and these happen more than you think they do and they usually end as they always do once I've had my fill and playing Cyberbots was no diffrerent. It started as simply as wanting to test my Saturn to see if worked and that turned into playing Devilotte's Story Mode which I learned is that the game is fully voiced acted for the console versions. Learning something new everyday. I still have a plan to feature this on the channel soon which was my other reason for pulling it out. A huge special project is coming soon...if I can actually pull it off. We'll see.

A lot of the last 2 weeks has been filled with me having some great sets in Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars with my little cousins which reminded me how much I enjoy the game even now. Still better than Marvel in all aspects especially the prospects of what each game can become in all its facets.

What I watched and read this week is the usual. The summer shows setting up for their ends in their own special ways. Naruto was full of the feels & Bleach is still on a vay-cay. There are some shows I need to catch up on but that'll happen after I dismiss you from this installment.

And as we come to the end of this installment of #TheCool, I gotta show off all those videos I watched this week.

My old man weighs in on Kendrick Lamar's verse on Control.

I enjoy so much when VA's go nuts and this playthrough of Cerebella's story is no different.

Speaking of what we just spoke on is that I had no clue that T.O.M & Wesker had beef.

The Throwback Classic of the Week is The Introduction from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Still my favorite GTA and I don't see any game unseating it ever! ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS FOLLOW THE DAMN TRAIN, CJ!!! CLASSIC!!

This right here needs no explanation other than one I'm actually giving you about not explaining it.

And with that brings this installment of #TheCool to a close. As usual thank you for spending some time with me and we'll be doing it again next week as we always do.

Our Cover Girl this week is none other than Princess Devilotte de DeathSatan IX from Onimusha Soul. Topical because I played Cyberbots this week. It may be time to finish Dawn Of Dreams and give Onimusha Soul a try. We'll see.

Thank You once more and I'll see you next time!

The Cool: Dat Dub One Oh One

#TheCool back up in it on this Sunday and we got some ground to cover and with no lead story and my soapbox from the last installment still ringing forever true with no reason to mention it again let's get to business.

For the 2nd week in a row no SMB2. The adage of doing it right or not doing it at all is totally in play here. I wanted to but it wouldn't have been my best or my all so when I do then you'll know that it is.

The philanthropic endeavors of #DoaGHThaDOJO however never comes to a halt because there's always some cool fighting games to share with the masses.

We here at #DoaGHThaDOJO are proud members of the LOLI AWARENESS movement and all that it stands for.

Chaos Code has always been a project near and dear to us here. We've been a proud supporter of getting this game in more faces since 2009. Since then, brave souls have stepped forward to do the same and we here say thank you for your dedication.

The Rumble Fish is a special game that we even after all these years stand behind and continue to support with everything we have. Time for Dimps to get this to a home console somehow. That wait has been to long.

Chaos Breaker is a game that has recently come under our umbrella and has been a game enjoyed here for quite a while. Always great to see new matches and please if you haven't pick up Dark Awake on JP PSN if you haven't. $10 gets you a great quality fighter and not a lot of games in any genre can say that.

Sengoku Basara X continues to be a fighter to look at for those seeking that something special. Always a great watch and a favorite of ours here.

Daemon Bride: Additional Gain is another game we here have been supporting for a long time now and worthy of such support. The day will come where you're not technically breaking the law to play the older version of this one.

Under Night In-Birth is a game we've seen come from humble beginnings to become something great and EXE:Late will continue that greatness whenever it shall appear.

And to round out what's available to you is En Eins Perfektwelt. A great game that may never see a way out of the arcades but one can hope. There's always Akatsuki Blitzkampf to slightly feed that need if this game tickles your fancy.

I do have to say that I'm proud of the work & service that #DoaGHThaDOJO provides. It is truly a vestige of the true heart of what fighting games were, are and still are even right now. It truly is my thank you to the FGC for what it has provided me and to take seriously my responsibility to the members of it.

With that being said time to get to the week that was in gaming and some things happened that I'm pretty hyped to share today so let me share.

If this week in gaming confirmed anything for me is that Hideki Kamiya is nothing short of genius and The Wonderful 101 proves this yet again. This was a game that I was hyped for because of my respect of his contributions to gaming as a whole. And now more than ever is now a game that truly on its own merits has truly won me over. I'm so ready for this game but not yet a WiiU. I'll be waiting a while for that one for reasons. Secretly hoping that a special edition WiiU for Bayonetta 2 drops and also just not in the budget for a console for a single game at the moment. In history hindsight though the time before last I bought a game for system was for Viewtiful Joe for GameCube also created by one Hideki Kamiya so there's that. Anything can change from now till then and if I do I'll let you know. Also the above videos are the latest English & Japanese trailers for the game. Slight differences between the two and I'll let you hunt those down on your own. I will say that from what I've heard is that it won't effect the final game too much but there have been some dialogue changes from the Japanese to the English version that may or may not make it into the final product.

If learning more about The Wonderful 101 is your thing then taking some time and looking at this special edition of Nintendo Direct all about the game and featuring Kamiya-san as well. There is a new Ask Iwata with him and all about the game but hasn't been translated into English officially yet but if the past installments are anything then we'll get a lot of fun stuff from it.

And to close out our Wonderful 101 Hype Session of #TheCool, the Platinum Games Blog gave some time to 2 speak about 2 more members of The Wonderful 10! The Smart Mouth Sharpshooter...Wonder Green & ♥♥♥♥♥♪♪♪♪♪The Queen of Pain...WONDER PINK!♫♫♫♫♫♥♥♥♥♥ It was through these blog posts that made my fascination with Wonder Pink all of a sudden make a whole lot more sense. Pink is some alternate universe combination of Sexy Silvia & Bayonetta and just happens to be voiced by "you know who" who's also the monarch of a certain group of people who like a certain TV show that was created by someone just as awesome! I just wrote this stuff and you can't write this stuff. Unite Action is real and it's time to save the world again...Wonderfully! You can read more about Wonder Green & ♥♥♥♥♥Wonder Pink♥♥♥♥♥ by clicking the links to their respective blog posts.

Continuing in the awesome news this week provided is that Senran Kagura Burst is coming to MURICA and Europe as well later this year. The only difference is that the release in MURICA is exclusive to the Nintendo eShop and the European version will have a physical release as well. Not really surprising that this is the case but I'm just happy it's coming. I only hope this is the lead in not only for Versus but other games as well. Speaking of...

Oneechanbara Z: Kagura on PS3 is a thing and I'm hoping that some of that Burst love falls over here. This game dropped at the beginning of last year on the 360 and while being published in Japan by M$ it wasn't even localized for whatever reason after the Wii & 360 versions of the last game were. The PSP version wasn't either but that isn't much of a factor to that being a reason. The thing about this game is that it's following in the footsteps in the earlier PS2 games by adding an additional character from a D3 property. That character being NoNoNo from Dream Club Zero and she brings something special to this game and you should just watch the trailer for that. My sincere hope like I said is that somebody gets this on PSN in MURICA & Europe. I don't expect for somebody to give this a retail treatment but if they do then more power to them and my unbridled thanks for such an act. I have no clue on when this is coming out but if you're importing then you may want to get your pre-orders in ASAP. Just like the 360 version there are some special costumes that come with 1st print copies so if you want them then do that before you have to find a more expensive way to get a hold of them.

Keeping this all about the ladies for now, Injustice has made me believe in magic again (Not really though. Always been a believer and not stopping now.) with NRS announcing DLC Character #6 in The Spellbinding Beauty...Zatanna Zatara. This may just be my chance at not only taking her for a spin but Martian Manhunter too. She'll be out on Tuesday for everybody and something, something about Cyborg Superman.

Speaking of magic let us focus on some of a different kind...the Disney kind with the newest Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD ReMIX trailer about KH1. Not really much here but looking at how awesome it looks in HD and such. Still hyped for it coming so I can have a reason to play the series again.

Once upon a time...Fighting Was Magic but this has nothing to do with that because I just needed a segue to talk about Killer Instinct and this mini combo vid of Glacius that also teases Thunder who nobody really wanted. Bring on Orchid & Fulgore now KTHXBYE!

You'd think I'd be hype for KoFXIII to hit Steam but I'm not. I can't play it because my computer is ass. And even if my computer wasn't ass I'd still wouldn't play it because I don't like like XIII. XIII is 2002 HD Remix and I'd rather play Unlimited Match anyway and I'm not a big fan of that either. Honestly all I wanted and still want from KoF to make the Shift System work even better but that change in what was done killed that and XII did what it did and I still enjoy it more than I do XIII which is just a great game that just happens to be a huge cop out for what should've been. Just bring me KoFXI and Regulation A OKPLZTHXBYE!

Now let us talk about a fighter I'm actually excited for. The All-Star Battle creeps forever close and man this game is a JoJo's fan dream and you know a sequel's coming so if your favorite character isn't repped they'll be back for the 2nd go around. The game will be out at the end of the month and I'm so ready.

And to close us out right here is the announcement that I'm now buying J-Stars Victory Versus! YUSUKE MUTHAFUCKIN URAMESHI or You're A Meshi if that's your preference is in now and this was all I really wanted. Maybe a #TripleDaGodExplainsItAll of 120% is in order if the streets want it and even if you don't I'll do it anyway because that's what I want. I really can't think of anybody else I really want in this roster that isn't another character from Yu Yu Hakusho. Hiei, Younger Toguro, Yoko Kurama, Kuwabara, Sensui & Genkai because she's awesome. Should be hype for later this year can't wait.

When it comes to actually playing games this week I did a bit yesterday with my little cousins which happened to be the most interesting game of Tekken 5 I've ever experienced. Because the disc is so scratched up half of the time the game doesn't register inputs or play music and when it does you can actually do something which turned the game into a weird game of Musical Chairs Tekken Edition and was pretty fun. And because we were rocking the Tekken 5 I got a chance to play the Tekken 1-3 as well with an emphasis on 2 seeing as it's just a favorite of mine for all the time I spent playing it back in the day with no memory card and seeing how quick I could unlock all the characters. Good damn times. Good damn times. There was some T4 there too and it was a reminder that King Multi-Part Throws are the reason I started to and solely play stick in fighters unless the times where a pad fares better. Thanks Tekken!

Everything else is everything else. All I took in went in this week and with a lot of these shows ready to wrap up and in some cases end I'm ready for them to bring everything to those finales. It might be time to gear up some marathons so I can get on shows I've been told and been curious about with this downtime that's about come when it comes to what I watch. Naruto on the manga front took an interesting but trope turn that if I would've paid attention I would've seen coming. Bleach is still on hiatus and those other mangas I'm supposed to be reading just didn't get read. Shame. We'll get it together over here. And Sailor Moon will be part of the Winter Anime season. What this actually means for what the show will provide is unknown but I'M HYPE!!!

Now as we get ready to part ways let me share with you how YouTube has entertained me this week.

Shouts to My Way Entertainment for still bringing that funny. This time around a dub over of a classic episode of the Batman TV called The Penguin Goes Straight G! Shit is just too hilarious! Forever Cyber Goonin It!

Just so happened to run by this classic clip yesterday cruising YouTube. The Rock. Some Cops. And a Jelly Donut. Still one of my all time favorite promos from him.

If you think back to an earlier part of this installment I made a reference to this video. See if you can find it.

You will because of the thumbnail but nothing I can do about that. Still a classic from my internet youth however.

It's pretty much a fact that I've proven which is when ponies are combined with your favorite things they usually come out better.

Exhibit A: Spike Pilgrim vs The World: The Game intro which does what you think it should do and does it very well. I still haven't got a chance to get into that Wallace DLC but when it goes on sale I have a plan to gather the crew and record some gameplay footage. A fun prospect that is for all of you wonderful folks that love what we do!

Exhibit B: Celestia singing The Banana Song. Didn't know about the song's existence before and now I can't stop singing about bananas. It happens.

And to close us out is a video that describes someone's opinion on everything wrong with Equestria Girls in 7 Minutes or Less. I really should've mentioned this earlier but I did take the time and watch the movie for myself and it was quite good. A bit tropish in spots but it served its function as an extension to FiM and did that very well. Hopefully we see more of EG in the future seeing as there's a lot that can be done with that world and those characters. For those that want a warning which I shall provide is that...THIS BE SPOILERS DAWG! Figured I mention this for reasons.

And that will bring us to the end of another installment of #TheCool. Thanks so much for spending some time with your folks and I'll see you next week when I take this week and do what I did with last week and the week before that and the week before that and so on.

 

And for the 2nd time Miss Wonder Pink is our Cover Girl for #TheCool! Awesomesauce! I have the suspicion this won't be the last time this happens. That hype for The Wonderful 101 is so real! See you next time! Stay Wonderful!

-Triple Da G.O.D!

The Cool: Colluding Colluded Collusion

#TheCool right back up in it for another one on a Monday. To be honest this installment almost didn't happen which also bleeds into the Pimpin because try as I did I just couldn't get a new episode of Super Mario Bros. 2 out. Been trying to get it done since Thursday and tried to before I got this late installment out. Here's what I do understand about why it didn't. I have a real issue within about the quality of the work that I do. I even look back to my earlier reviews for games and while they're grimy as all get out I look at those and I know I did the best I could with what I had to put those together and while those and others were learning experiences to do what I do on the level in which I do it now. I never want to look back at something and know that I didn't give it my all or it was forced out because of some imaginary deadline I just have to meet. I'll stick to my ways of it'll be done when it is and it'll be something of quality in which you learn & enjoy from and something I can be proud of.

Also bleeding into this week of learning is if pay you attention to this installment's title and are familiar with that word in its various tenses is that I've seen that word driven into the ground this week with no remorse about it. And if you're not the short version is the FGC is cracking down on pot splitting and those who do it. During the week it became "the hot button issue" and people had their back and forth and did whatever it was they felt they needed to which lead me to do what I always do...shrug my shoulders and quip. This has been my safety measure for awhile for a lot of things and not just issues in the FGC but situations where I know I can straight drop a truth nuke and let it be but what I've come to understand is sometimes people have to figure it out themselves. I've also come to understand that sometimes it isn't the message but the messenger and I've said things that people looked at me sideways for but the same message verbatim coming from a different source is met with a completely different reception. And that's something I've had to come to terms with to. I've learned that the masses aren't quite ready for me and the way I see things. And it isn't something I'm even mad about. Everybody has their time and mine is going to last for quite awhile so you have to be fair and let others have theirs. Whether they deserve it or not is another topic entirely. Which leads to this in closing. In the scheme of things we all have to learn the roles we're supposed to play in the many situations we find ourselves in. I've long come to terms with the various roles I play and a lot of them personally and professionally are thankless but that isn't why I do them. I do them because they have to be done. And every now and again you get that reminder why it is you do what you do and you become motivated not to give up on it but to keep at it because the vision is clear on how it shall be in the end. This is nothing new to me seeing as it has been a life long thing and it'll continue because I believe so much in that I can be instrumental in my various roles to take those visions and make them real for all to see. And this has been SOAPBOX with Triple Da G.O.D!

Even though I didn't put out anything #DoaGHThaDOJO is always producing that you know what so let us see what's cooking on that end.

It's always LOLI AWARENESS DAY when there's some LOVE MAX!!!!! cooking in the kitchen!

The Rumble Fish 2. Still waiting on whatever Dimps was going to do that I thought was a console release of some sort.

Been a minute since we've seen some Shin Koihime Musou. That release for PS3 is slowly approaching. When news drops on it I'll report it.

Nothing came out of the UNIB Loke but with that happening EXE:Late should be out soon. Hopefully the April Fools costumes make it in the update.

Because separators between news items is needed for keeping it functional...THIS WEEK IN GAMING!

After Ray Donovan went off and I did my last check for cool stuff before bed this appeared in my sub box and it's the first real look at J-Stars Victory VS. The trailer can do a lot more justice explaining itself than I can but I'm not getting hype until I get that Yusuke confirm. That would easily take it from I'll cop it to I need that in my life. No release date as of yet but when it comes I'll let you know.

In that same time frame the 2nd trailer for Brave Soliders dropped and it was confirmed that the 3 major arcs of Saint Seiya would be covered so for anyone needing a crash course in the lore will get their fill here. It was also confirmed since the last time I covered the game is that it is coming to MURICA only on PSN. At least we're getting it.

One of the upsides of waiting until today to get this installment out is I can say is that the update for XDZW that features Terry, Benimaru and new character King is up now. I might dabble around with it and I might not. I've just lost interest in the game since it has become the fad now. Hipster I might just be. If you want to play it, I hear that beta codes are being given away to celebrate this occasion. People who actually keep up with that may be able to tell you more. And something about more guest characters coming soon.

Killer is Dead is now out in Japan and MURICA will be getting it at the end of the month. Because I'm on mega black out all I've heard is there's something wrong with the game. What that means and how that affects our version is something I don't know either. GDSD for more.

This trailer of TMNT: Out of the Shadows does answer the question of who produced that beat for each of the Character Spotlight. And seeing as I don't listen to the radio or watch music videos that much anymore it's good to see that he's still producing that good. NBA STREET VOL. 2!!

With the release of The Wonderful 101 fast approaching is that the Platinum Games blog is slowly revealing a whole lot of information about the game. The 2 trailers above introduce Wonder Red & Blue and you can read a whole lot more HERE!

And I can't leave TWIG without a PSA. Go acronyms go!!! Dragon's Crown is out tomorrow in MURICA and I'm going to need everybody to cop this. I've heard all the arguments about the aesthetics and if you heard me say anything about SkullGirls then the same applies here. The game looks good and plays great and that's all you should be concerned with. So go get it so I can get more like it. PLEASE & THANK YOU!!!

As for everything else gaming with me I didn't really play anything. I copped Martian Manhunter for Injustice but I really didn't get a chance to get into some depth with him like I've done with past DLC characters. I'll get around to it at some point and I'll report when I do. Also in my inability to play & talk at the same time I did stumble on a game I might get into soon for the NES called Esper Dream 2. A cool action RPG that came out late in the NES' life cycle and from what I've played seems really fun. Maybe a #RunDatReXXX of it soon comes?

When it comes to watching and reading all my usual suspects did work. And I'm keeping it brief at least for my dramas because the less said the better. This is a good thing if you didn't know. Bleach is still on hiatus and Naruto is Naruto. PBPW4DW! There is one thing I need to say before we get into that other portion I've should've said weeks ago...WHO'S LINE IS IT ANYWAY IS STILL GOD TIER ENTERTAINMENT!! Glad they got picked up for a full slate of episodes next season! Congrats and the points still don't matter. Want to know how much I love #WLIIA, look at the #RunDatReXXX of Mega Man X3 and you'll see it clear.

Time for the bow. The YouTube Indulgence Portion!

I have no idea how I missed Dragonball Absalon in my sub box but it happens. At least I watched it.

A combo vid for Kizuna Encounter? IN! MY! VEINS! NAO!

Shouts to the homie Aris for this awesome Soul Calibur 2 System Tutorial. My SC2 is rusty and this got me right back where I was with some new things I learned as well. #TEAMCASSIETILLIMYDYINGDAY!

It would seem that the 1st them for Attack on Titan is the new Guile's theme because it goes with everything. For example the above video is spoof of the opening featuring that Winnie the Pooh Home Run Derby game that made people go insane at the beginning of the year. Want to go insane too? CLICK HERE!!

To further illustrate my point, take the same theme and put the most random of stuff from Giant Bomb and it still works. Told you.

I'm still waiting for Season 1 to end so I can enjoy it in one fell swoop. It may even lead to the manga. We'll see.

Good to see Sherclop Pones back with a new Friendship is Witchcraft after all that happened.

With no context at all, Sad Hoshi is Sad.

Less context than before. Makes more sense with it but funny either way.

Even less context than before that. Not that this needs it but yeah it does make a valid point.

And some Bravest Warriors Minisodes starring Chris & CATBUG!!!

That's that. Even late we get the job done. I'm aiming to get over this hump to get SMB2 out because I'm ready to get to my next game so expect that when the feeling's right. Also depending on how big the GGXXX news is I may do a write up on it or save it for the next installment of #TheCool. Not really sure how I want to approach that. Hype for those reveals regardless.

Thank You as usual for spending some of time with me and I'll see you for the next installment of #TheCool.

-Triple Da G.O.D!

 

Tiki, time to go home sweetheart! You've had quite enough "adventuring" for one day! And you might just be drunk! Buy Dragon's Crown tomorrow! PLEASE & THANK YOU!

SEE YOU NEXT MISSION!!!!

The Cool: Black Cadillac Twerk

#TheCool back for another one as we do every week. Hope your week was as good as mine was but it happens to be time to put this one to rest as we do always. For the 2nd week in a row I don't have a lead off. Maybe I should be questioning this and maybe I shouldn't. But I think it does show what does really matter to me as far as news that should be ahead of everything else we do here. That might just be responsible journalism. Some could be better off learning that word and the many synonyms that accompany it and let that lead their work. Rant over. Pimping begin.

A special #RunDatReXXX #OnFireFriday edition of Super Mario Bros. 2 and continually special because it just so happens to be a Princess Toadstool takeover episode. I kind of drop a hint on why this happy accident occurred & the do's and don'ts of courting Princesses. Hope you learn something.

And that's all from me so let's drop in #DoaGHThaDOJO and see the awesome we've been cooking up over yonder.

Sengoku Basara X. I just love to see this game being played at a high level just because. Always an awesome game to watch.

Been a nice minute since I've seen anything of Psychic Force 2012. I'm wondering if Taito plans to port this version to anything. Would be nice since I've always had a hankering to learn the game at a high level. I could always bust out Psychic Force Complete if I really needed to.

Been dropping Chaos Code NeSiCa vids all week for some reason. I don't remember the last time I've uploaded so many matches of the game.

LOLI AWARENESS is always in #FULLEFFECTMODE so enjoy some LOVE MAX!!!!! vids!

There's always time for Under Night In-Birth! There's a loketest this weekend for EXE:Late but no vids have surfaced for it as of now but when they come I'll be there to provide them.

Imagine my surprise when I did my monthly check for when the Project Justice vids for the month and saw that they dropped a week early. I guess when you get into a habitual nature how a random twist can catch you off guard. And it's always wonderful to hear that the streets appreciate me showing this game some love!

And to close out Pimping Time w/TDG is the #SuperSecretMysteryGame from #OnFireFriday being Chaos Breaker! I've always wanted to get some matches on the channel but after my temporary brush with playing Dark Awake and learning the subtle differences between the two I figured I'd test the waters and ask the streets if they want more. And they do. So expect more Chaos Breaker really soon and more #SSMG's and returning games as well!

Now let us switch those gears for This Week In Gaming...

Killer is Dead is out next Thursday and the above would seem to be the last vids we'll see for the Japanese version of the game. I did decide I'll wait it out until it comes out here in MURICA unless something that this version of the game will do that others will not changes that.

Mario Kart Arcade GP DX has dropped its 1st trailer and it looks very nice for a game I'll have to go to a Dave & Buster's to even experience. The only thing of note here is the inclusion on Don-chan from the Taiko Drum Master series. What that means for other returning Namco characters is to be seen but just like when they announced Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games and that was the sign that Sonic was going to be in Brawl just might mean the same for Pac-Man in the upcoming game. Whether this theory pans out is to be seen but I'd put big money on it though. And a shame to hear that there won't be a Story Mode in the upcoming game seeing as I enjoyed The Subspace Emissary and hoping to see more of the same this time around.

And now for a PSA that should've been in the last installment. If you have a 3DS and not yet have Shantae, then I need to question your mental capacity. Just get it and all of WayForward's awesome crack. PLEASE, THANK YOU & YOU'RE WELCOME!!

Guilty Gear XXX or Xrd if your into calling it by the name given. Looks like very soon we'll catch our 1st glimpse of this game in action and regardless of my past dealings with ASW I'll be covering this to the best of my ability without causing trouble for myself. Pretty hype for it regardless of all that.

What else have I been up to this week? I didn't get in a lot of gaming this week because I was busy with stuff but I randomly played some Zelda 1 for some reason. I think it may be due watching a lot of it recently on Game Grumps and the no duh is that it is a game we'll be featuring it on #RunDatReXXX very soon. I didn't get back to Mega Man Unlimited like I wanted either to which I'm not a fan of but there's a big update coming which is going to fix some of the concerns I had with it initially so that's cool as well.

I finally got a chance to catch up on all my various shows and I'll say this so I can say I said it. Watch Ray Donovan. That show goes beyond hamsterdom. Just watch it. I also got a chance to catch up on Beware The Batman and even I was surprised how into the premise I was. I remember reading it a long time ago and dismissing it but I'm glad I was open enough to give it a chance. I will take time to mention that Dexter, True Blood & Burn Notice did work in their own special way. No spoilers on what work though.

On top of that there has been a whole lot of info dropping about the newest Kamen Rider...Gaimu. And as usual the only thing I'm even remotely concerned with is how will those riders translate to the next Climax Heroes game? We'll probably start getting info on that & the next Rider Generation game in the next couple of weeks so stay tuned for those blowout articles on when they drop. I also got some time and sat down and watched the Go-Busters Returns movie too and it was great watch. The twist on it was exceptional and it was good to see the cast again too. #SWAGBUSTERS

In the world of manga Bleach is on a hiatus and Naruto just took it to another extreme. Expected extreme yes but extreme. I need to get back to Freezing & Highschool DxD because I've fallen way, way behind on both. And it might be time to pick up some old series I just completely fell out of for whatever reason. I really need to break that habit of just losing interest in things as quickly as I do.

We're just about done here so let us put a pretty bow on this shall we with stuff I watched on Youtube this week.

RWBY! Done by some dude named Monty Oum. Did something called Dead Fantasy if I recall. RWBY is sick and I've been in blackout for it since I've heard of it and it was worth the wait and then some. This is the 1st episode above and you'll always find the latest episode a week early on RoosterTeeth.com. Just watch it!

DBZ Abridged. Do I need say anymore than that?

Scooby-Doo. Orpheusftw. Watch all 5 parts. Just do dat!

Thanks to J for letting me know that there was a sequel to the MK Rap Battles! Need not say anymore.

Vinesauce Corrupts...Conker's Bad Fur Day! Yep. The "corrupted" gets even more so.

After a small hiatus Bravest Warriors is back with no Catbug. The next episode makes up for this because it's a Catubug focused episode! #CATBUG!!

Giant Bomb's newest entry into the Encyclopedia Bombastica is Law of the West a Commodore64 game and features Jeff, Brad & Vinny doing what they do best. Hilarious. Hilarious. I gotta say I love how the 3 of them lately are on everything together and the stuff that comes out it has just been off the meter!

Chris Redfield rapes Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. Seriously, premise of the above. Seriously!

And to send us out is an internet classic and one of my favorite remixes of the moment in question. Just hilarious!

As usual, thank you for spending a bit of time with me and my thoughts. The love is appreciated.

We'll be back next week for another installment of #TheCool. Until then!

-Triple Da G.O.D!

The Cool: The Gathering Of The Thousands

#TheCool in full effect as we usually are at the usual time and place!

Hope that everybody's end to end was a great as mine was but everyday is great. Even the not so great ones. MESSAGE!

In an oddity I don't have a lead story this week even with SDCC still in progress. Not really surprised in the slightest seeing as how that event skewers while in my wheelhouse I'm not as excited for the non-game announcements like I was once upon a time. Something cool happened and I probably missed it but it'll trickle down to me and y'all can say I was way late on it. The ebb and flow. The ebb and flow.

With that out of the way time for that pimping! You know you love it!

After an accidental week off we get back to the world saving of Super Mario Bros. 2 and we do the things we always do. Educate and make you laugh! We did have to tell Toad thanks for the work but the rest of the crew will handle the remainder of the lightweight.

Next episode is a special one so be sure to tune in. It might come earlier than expected though. And just to share a bit, #RunDatReXXX's next game has already been decided and prep work is going into it so it'll be something special. Trust me.

Just with everything else this week is even #DoaGHThaDOJO has been a bit slow but even with that being the case plenty of that crack is available this week including The Rumble Fish 2. Been a minute since the last time I was able to get some matches up and always a pleasure doing so.

More of this Cyberbots dope. It must be a sign that somebody wants me to see this game really bad. I really need to keep to a promise and get in the lab with the Saturn version. My dream is to have a custom Saturn stick that'll take care of all my fighting game needs for the system. Some games are very limited in the controller configuration department so trying to play them naturally can be a chore but one that's worth it for reasons. 4MB & Saturn handles 2D better than PS1 reasons!

BattleFantasia. Still delivers. I have plans for this game. Just wait and see.

Chaos Code: NEw SIgn of CAtastrophe. Get It!?

Arcana Heart 3: LOVE MAX!!!!! the 5 exclamation marks are important to the title or so I've heard. It's has and will be a joy to watch this game evolve. Still the need to question where's that port at? I'll wait.

And with that out of the way time for the week in gaming and man I've got the business as you so shall see. Thank You, SDCC!!

There are some things that seem inevitable but until they become tangible you always have to wonder if. Such is the case with the announcement of Soul Calibur 2 HD Online for PSN/XBLA!

SC2 is one of my favorite fighting games of all time and one that I not only spent a lot of time with but remembering those times fondly.

Just so the world knows it's #TEAMCASSIETILLISTOPBREATHING!! SC2 was the game where I chose Cassie as a main and never looked back!

After Soul Blade there was no Li Long and Maxi in SC1 wasn't doing it for me to be honest. I was more of a Xianghua/Astaroth/Cervantes player before that. After SC1, Xianghua didn't stick. I subbed Astaroth and still do, I consider Cervantes my other main however.

There was always Mitsurugi, Hwang, Siegfried & Sophitia in SB & SC1 and played them to death as well. But like I started this spiel is that Cassie has been my main since SC2 and was probably one of the best things I ever did fighting game wise.

She's a character who is exactly what I needed in that game, A RUSHDOWN EMPRESS! She's never let me down and this one of the reasons I've yet to to touch SC5. I know I need to and it'll happen in time.

As far as this game is concerned, what we do know is that the basis for the game is the PS2 version due to Heihachi's inclusion. What this means for Spawn & Necrid is to be seen and if there's a WiiU version I'd suspect Link would be the character in that version with or without Heihachi there.

No idea of cost at the moment and it's already looking to be a better deal than the XBLA version of SC1. What the final product became wasn't Namco's fault at all. That was M$ having those dumb ass restrictions on how big a game could be at the time and there was many a game that suffered because of it. This game will not suffer the same fate and I'm glad because this game deserves the business for being one of fighting game's greatest moments and accomplishments! The game is that good. Trust me!

Enjoy a picture of the ladies of SC2 outside of Sophitia & Seong Mi-Na because they're unlockable characters in the home ports.

Now all that's gotta happen now is a hybrid of OG Soul Calibur 3 & Arcade Edition! Want this so, so bad!!

Speaking of fighters that work in 3 dimensions, there's a new trailer for DoA5U which is just a huge reminder of what the game shall be bringing your way very soon.

And Rachel writing in pain as sexually as possible. GO!

Speaking of fighting game hotties what about Harley Quinn & Catwoman displaying their Ani-Comi costumes now available for all versions of Injustice. Wonder Woman also has a costume in this pack by the way. And Martian Manhunter & the John Stewart Green Lantern skin will be available on July 30th. HYPE!!!

Flip Bucket is in #FULLEFFECTMODE with our 1st look at Terry & Benimaru in action. From what's on display it would seem both characters take inspiration from their KoF '98 incarnations. No clue when they'll be playable for the regular folk not in the beta of the beta but when it does I'll let you know.

Let us take a moment and welcome back Strider Hiryu where he belongs. This Strider project has been known about for quite awhile and even rumored to be canceled. But like Girl Fight & Wander of the Dragons before it this game is real and we'll be seeing it Early 2014 on everything home console.

Been a minute since we've seen anything about Ace Attorney 5 but there's plenty here. SPOILER WARNING! Just saying.

Our 1st trailer for Sengoku Basara 4. You'll be importing this and if you don't know why then dig back in this blog about a year ago and I explain why. Past that though it would seem this is a prequel to the series so what this means for anything is very unknown but when I know then you will too.

Another The Wonderful 101 trailer talking about the Unity Powers of Wonder Red & Blue. There's no Wonder Pink in sight so I'm a sad panda. This game drops in September.

Jessica Nigiri playing the Gigolo Missions from Killer is Dead. At least there's a video in this series where you actually learn something and get to see boobs. HURRAH!!

And to end our gaming look for the week that was is a confirm that Pikmin & Olimar are back in the new Smash Bros. The thing is that Olimar isn't in Pikmin 3 at all so why not Alph, Charlie or Brittany to represent the series instead? May be alternate costumes possibly. We'll see.

As for everything else I've been deep into Mega Man Unlimited and a review/walkthrough for the blog similar to what I did for Street Fighter X Megaman when that hit is coming as well.

I hope everybody took my advice and picked up Mamorukun Curse! for PS3. Haven't got around to playing it because I've been busy but I hope to correct this this week along with getting back to Dissidia & the Destiny Odyssey Twitter Playthrough.

I really didn't watch or read anything that wasn't the usual suspects but I've yet to watch Beware The Batman and it's waiting for me to do that. There's a Ultimate Spider Man & Avengers Assemble marathon in the wings too.

I will say this much though, all my Sunday shows are going in one way or another and you'll need to take my word on that.

Bleach & Naruto have gotten a bit interesting too with Bleach's countdown to the end and this new fight currently happening in Naruto getting nuts by the page.

Worst of all I've fell off on watching Wizard & Kyoryuger and I really need to just relax and watch those to get caught up.

And with it being a slow week on all tips all I can offer you from my YouTube journey is this one video.

Beware however, what this looks to be on the outside isn't what you're truly looking for. Just have fun with it.

Done & done. Another installment of #TheCool is now a part of the annals of time.

As usual thanks for spending some time inside my head and be sure to be ready for another one next Sunday.

Until then!

-Triple Da G.O.D!

The Cool: Mortality Bites

#TheCool on a Monday. A rarity yes but explanations will come and a possible reason you could guess. So technically I'm not late just a bit early for next week's installment. With all the stuff that was last week there is only one story I could lead off with...

Gaming as a whole lost a great person in Giant Bomb's Ryan Davis. To be honest normally I wouldn't even care about something like this but as it has been echoed since the news dropped is that I feel like I lost a close friend. But that'll happen when you spend 5+ years with people who bring you all the news that matters to you. I didn't really know anything about Ryan before Gerstmanngate but once I discovered Giant Bomb and the way the decided to do what they do I was a fan and over time felt like I was a part of the family. When I saw the news in my Facebook feed I thought it was a joke before the realness set in and I teared up a bit because this man was a fixture in my gaming life and not to have that anymore is just a sad proposition. I think M. Bison will have to now share the Master of Tuesdays crown with Ryan because that familiar bellow when that Bombcast started will definitely be missed as well.

I do want to take the time to wish his wife, family, everybody at Giant Bomb and everyone dealing with this tragedy well as they deal with this. I'm so glad that the GB Crew did a podcast and got a chance to share their feelings about their fallen friend but even through the laughter you could hear the profound sadness that they lost a brother in arms and are dealing with it the best they can. I want to once more wish everyone well as they deal with this and coming from somebody who knows is that it'll take time to get back to a semblance of normality but it does come. Ryan Davis, you will be forever missed.

If you want to check out some of Ryan's best be sure to go over to GiantBomb.com where there is a bunch and I mean a bunch you can check out to see how awesome of a guy Ryan was! RIP DUDER!!!

Now back to positive things already in progress. The pimping will be a bit short because I've been a little busy with business so I didn't get a chance to record SMB2 but I'm planning a double up this week to catch up. But don't fear though. #DoaGHThaDOJO has been picking up the slack major this week. A lot of catch up sets due to getting lax and expect that this week as well. There is a lot crack to get down on however.

More #KoFXI to start with. 7 vids of that you know what. Still my favorite game in the series.

Chaos Code: NeSiCa. Still wondering will future ports of the game on PS3 will be based off this version?

Been a long minute since you've seen a set of Fate/Unlimited Codes. Enjoy this please. And bonus for Rin on the thumbnail. AWESOMESAUCE!

And for good measure some Daemon Bride: Additional Gain. I've since learned the OG Version is playable on PC and has been for a while now. GDSD for more information.

With the pimping done let us get to the week that was + a little Sunday & Monday for good measure!

Here's the 1st of many reasons #TheCool is doing a Monday special...ULTRA Street Fighter IV! And what it happens to be is what I thought it would be. Taking the new characters from X Tekken (Miss Poison, Hugo, Elena, Rolento & a 5th Character based of the clues could possibly be The Mayor of Earf: Mike Haggar.) and putting them into SF4 which makes a lot of sense in that Capcom isn't wasting the assets and retooling them which we've known was possible since the PC version of X Tekken with the Rolento example port/mod. ULTRA as it stands is more than that. Another rebalance for the game, new game modes and new costumes as well. Now the way to ULTRA is a real simple one. Any version of SUPER can upgrade to this version for $15 or if you want every costume (except for I think the Vanilla ones) you can buy the disc version for $40 which is the choice I'm going with because I never committed to buying AE at all. This also depends on if I still want to pick up the SF 25th Anniversary Set when it bottoms out in price which I will when that price is right. The game is slated for early 2014 so this what may bring me back to the series since I just dropped it when AE came knocking.

The 2nd of many reasons is the confirmation that J'onn J'onzz AKA The Martian Manhunter is leaving his post on The Watchtower stage to get in on some of this kick ass ass kicking action. And joining him is another John of the Stewart variety AKA Black Green Lantern. The John Stewart inclusion is proof that The Arrow skin is something that works and could be a way to keep pumping content into the game. The one thing I wanted and hoped for is to do a real Batman Beyond skin and pull Will Friedle back for the one time seeing as he's my favorite Batman for reasons. GDSD and you'll see why. No date when either DLC will drop but when it does I'll let you know.

Still in the realm of fighters we have our first trailer for Phantom Breaker: Extra. Now we know this isn't a port of AC at all but a very big update with new characters and the best part it is hitting the PS3 along with the 360. With the port of the 1st never coming to MURICA this version having a region free option is wonderful for more people to get their hands on it and give it a fair shake. No release date as of yet but when I get it so shall you.

Welcome back to San Andreas, I'm TDG from Grove Street! I don't even know if Grove Street is even in the game but this is our first real look at GTA5 and damn it is amazing to see. I do have to bring this up because I've heard it from multiple people. The question of this game appearing on a next-gen platform. Should you wait and see if it will or enjoy this and let Watch_Dogs be that game? Not really sure on the matter but as a fan of the series I'm on it where ever I can get it. Also, still salty about never getting a San Andreas Stories game? Why Rockstar Why?

Speaking of games with questions how about some time with the most confusing plot in all of video games...Kingdom Hearts! This trailer is nothing but an introduction to the important characters in the universe and some other things as well. Still due in September.

In our current focus on Square Enix and HD products then taking a look at this trailer that compares the OG PS2 Version with the HD Remaster is something to see. Improvements all around and looking as beautiful as it can be. The thing is that the news this week was there's a possibility that the Last Mission content from X-2 International may not be included. Depending on who you ask this is either nothing or a big deal. I sit on the big deal side of the fence because I really want to experience this with an English dub. Hedy Burress, Tara Strong & Gwendoline Yeo are awesome as YRP and I'm a huge fan of their performance in X-2 and it would be a shame not to have this epilogue available because it was the reason I was excited for the collection in the first place. I'll still buy it regardless of decision of inclusion but would be a shame if it wasn't. And Bare Dresssphere. GDSD!

I never knew ending on the notion of telling you to research the Bare Dresssphere would be the perfect segue into another episode of Killer is Dead TV! More of Nigiri & hot friends doing hot friend stuff. I always got you!

With Dragon's Crown set to drop next week in J-Pantsu here's the be all trailer for it. Even if you can't quite understand what's going on just look at the pretty pictures and let them guide you. I'll be doing something for the US release for the game so be ready for that.

And to end this extended look at this week in gaming I figured a PSA was in order. The game above is Mamorukun Curse! I need you to buy this for reasons. Reasons such as the SHMUP genre isn't very represented on PS3 as it should be. Games like this don't get localized every day so supporting one is a good thing. Supporting a game like this not only helps fans of said genre but you as well for the fact that the next game to get localized could be a game you want. Game's $20 and comes out tomorrow on PSN so be sure to get it. Please & Thank You!

On to the rest of it all. Still marching hard on Dissidia. You can follow my Destiny Odyssey exploits on Twitter @ReXXXSoprano as I beat one and share the moral of it.

Shouts to Curleh Mustache West Coast Deuce & #EVO2013 for bringing the heat to my week. I still haven't watched all of either but what I have has been amazing. Yipes can get the best of best together and let them go tit for tat. And EVO takes that to another level with all the international competition. I have to say a lot of what I got to see from both events had me on the edge of my seat and so hype. Just a reminder why I love fighting games the way I do. I'll have my full rundown on the next installment if I can get through all this content in that time frame.

Because of the business I had to handle all I can really talk about is Bleach, Naruto and what happened last week on my favorite shows and not what happened last night. The mangas are all about rebirth in its various forms. And the dramas were all about revelations, big and small. You know I'm not one for spoilers go watch it if you haven't. I'm about to hit up the new episodes as soon as were done here.

And before we part ways time for my favorite videos from around the interwebs.

Forgot to drop this last week but a new episode of Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series. If you want to watch the episodes before they hit YouTube then be sure to drop by THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE!

A new Botchamania that was actually on YouTube long enough to feature it in this section. POP BOTTLES!!! And just as with the above you can always watch these on THE OFFICIAL WEBISTE where they will always be available. JESUS!!! FAKKIN BULLSHIT!!! WE COMIN FO U NIGGA!!!

Jake Whyman's 1st foray into Neo Game Grumps with a moment from their Mega Man 2 playthrough. I will come out and say I really enjoy Arin & Danny's banter. I'm glad I didn't knee jerk the change and gave it a chance. Jon will be missed and I hope comes back for some special episodes of Grumps.

DashieXP's back with a new MK episode and you know it goes straight hamsterdom! So watch and enjoy.

And to see us out on this Monday Special Edition is of course desk with a mystery combo video. You can tell what it is by the thumbnail but there is some great stuff on display so please enjoy and learn from it.

I'm done. I have Money in the Bank, Dexter, Ray Donovan, True Blood and a host of YouTube vids that need my attention! Not to mention vids to record and #DoaGHThaDOJO to update! #TheCool will be back at its usual time slot on Sunday ready to show you your week my way! Have a good week and until the next time!

-Triple Da G.O.D!

The Cool: 237 Equals Freedom, Family & Food

The final day of Freedom Day Weekend and The Cool is right back at you. If you're like me at this point that food from Thursday is gone and now you have to go back to the other stuff in the fridge. I feel your pain. At least this can give you a reprieve from thinking about it if only for a little while. I do have to say I've been enjoying myself this weekend. Been kicking it with a lot of fam, eating good and learning I really like the combo if Hpnotiq + Lemonade (For ages 21 & Over). I do hope you've had just as much fun as I have and hope that continues for this week to come. Now that I've said all that sappy stuff let's get to the fun part.

More of that SMB2 because that's what the streets love. We tackle the desert this time around and things happen. Special things. Just watch.

Another foray into Smash Town featuring Ash & Rob who really enjoy the fact that they have content on YouTube. And JOTKING who's just here. #GORILLABEARSLUGRESURRECTION!!

#DoaGHThaDOJO has been putting in that work too. I've been dropping heavy, mainly for catch up purposes because I've been falling a bit behind but I was able to get the usual suspects updated and I was also able to find some special stuff to spotlight.

On the last installment of #TheCool, I said I had a surprise for the streets and Cyberbots was that. This game has always been a favorite of mine and I'm glad the streets are loving it too. So if I see it I'll upload it because I know you want it.

1st of the month always means some new Project Justice matches. I won't say what needs to be said because it has already been said.

BattleFantasia. BATTLEFANTASIA!!

It's always a pleasure to bring and to view some good Sengoku Basara X matches. There aren't many but when some come to me I'm always hyped to see the game on display.

I'll be back to usual motion for the week coming and I'll see if I can pull something special out of my hat for you guys. And now, your week in gaming!

These pictures are here for reasons other than they are here. But since they are lets talk DoA5U because there is plenty to talk about. Those wonderful pictures of Hitomi, Sarah & Helena are 3 of the costumes for the CE for DoA5U. I have no clue how this fares for MURICA but I'd be sure we'd get these somehow. And something about DoA5U making its way back to the arcades since DoA2 Millennium Edition a long, long, long time ago. I don't know what that means at all at this time but when I do I shall let you know.

Let us take the time to talk Injustice & General Zod who you should kneel for or something like that. Got a chance to play Zod for a brief second and he's exactly I'd thought he'd be and more...A BEAST!! I'm just feeling his style. He's like grimy Superman who can control the Phantom Zone and from what I've seen since I played he's broken as all get out. Worse than Scorpion X Pig if you let some people tell it. The one thing I'm happy about is that now the game is going back to having some secrets with more DLC on the way. Martian Manhunter is the gimme but anybody else that finds their way will hopefully stay a secret until NRS wants to reveal it.

Speaking of DLC it would seem that Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is getting some as well. Adding Dragon Sage Kabuto and some other stuff as well. You'll able to either download the DLC when it drops for the current game or buy the new version which will have all the previous DLC and the new stuff too. Good to see this game get this kind of support.

On the continued quest to make sure you learn nothing whatsoever about Killer Is Dead is there is a new episode of KiDTV in which they talk about DLC and I can also confirm that MURICA is getting this DLC as well with the 1st shipment of Killer Is Dead when it drops sometime in August.

I'm still deciding do I want to wait for it to come out here or do I do what I ended up doing with Lollipop Chainsaw and getting the Japanese Premium Edition? If you 1 of the billion people who hasn't played Lollipop Chainsaw and own a PS3 I suggest getting the Valentines Day Premium Edition because it has all the DLC with none of the Gamestop fun & games to get it, region free of course, choice of gore & rainbows and unlike the other version has Dual Audio & Language depending on what language your PS3 is set to. Don't worry I triple dipped. Both Japanese Premium Editions & MURICA 360 version. Doing my part to support awesome straight from Suda 51!

Continuing the string of awesome is more footage of JJBA: All-Star Battle from the CPU League being ran. Plenty of matches to watch here. Game is due in Japan on August 29th.

Drag-On Dragoon 3. Never in this life did I think I'd utter those words. This is happening and I'm hyped! Might be time for a run back of both Drakengard games. No clue if Square Enix is bringing this to MURICA but I can only hope that they are. And maybe they can sneak in a localization of NieR Replicant!

As for what I gamed on this week, if you fast forward to Friday evening I picked Dissidia back up. Not Duodecim. Not Prologus. But plain old Dissidia! This game and I have a sordid history. Broken PSP, lost memory sticks, corrupted saves and even reviews that were due 4 years ago. I've been told I should just drop it for Duodecim for spoiler reasons but I'm determined to beat it and review it. This is something that needs to be done to ease myself and prove I can continue to knock by backlog down. All I really want to do at this point is see the game to the end and I'll leave my OCD nature for Duodecim. No way am I building another Cloud to beat up Level 85 Zidane to get Thief Gloves or that Ultros Tina Friend Card for the Delicious Fish accessory set again. We'll see how long this love affair lasts before I drop it again for an obscene amount of time.

Because it was a holiday week not a lot popped of but what did was amazing. Dexter went to a place I'd never thought it would and maybe why I'll be watching it live and recording True Blood to watch after Ray Donovan which also did work. Looks like my Sunday Nights for now are nice and full of stuff to watch.

Naruto & Bleach do what they do every week and that's continue to confuse me. At least Naruto is moving a bit forward and that has some promise for a something solid to read. I need to get back to reading Freezing & Highschool DxD because I'm just overdue on reading them is all.

Haven't seen the last couple of episodes of Kyoryuger & Wizard just due to not having the time to just watch them. I did however sit down and watch Kamen Rider X Kamen Rider Movie War Ultimatum Director's Cut and that was really good. Nice to see the Fourze crew get some closure and the twist of the movie was really good yet surprising.

Burn Notice will be back this week and I'm hyped to see where it is the show goes in my hopes for a good end to it all.

It is almost time to say goodbye but before we do that how about some coolness straight from YouTube.

I want to take the time to highlight this video so I can say something. Shouts to the little homie Treezy who's putting in work and has been doing just that for a nice minute. According to him that little piece on Street Fighter EX I did so long ago inspired this playthrough of EX Plus α. Just like I told him and I'll say it once more to emphasize my point. Seeing stuff like this is what drives me to do what I do. Differences no matter the size are still differences. It's what I've come to believe over the years and knowing that I can make one matters to me. So when I do, I do to make a difference and hope the ones I help make will help create true change.

You can check Treezy and all his work on his YouTube Channel. Lots of classics and lesser known games over there so be sure to take a look and see what's popping that way and show him some love!

I've been meaning to feature this video for the last couple of weeks and now that I've remembered to do that here it is. If you ever wanted to know the inspirations and see all the colors for Skullgirls then this video is for you. A bit lengthy but very informative on the subject. I'll take the time to thank margherita0141 for the work done on this and the other videos that are on that page as well. You should watch those for yourself. You really should do that.

And to close it out, crazy dude allegedly on bath salts. I shouldn't have laughed but couldn't help it. Kids, don't do drugs. This is a reminder of why.

This right here is where we part ways until the next time. So have a great week and I'll catch you back here next week for another installment of #TheCool!
