The Pezman

I don't know what you mean. So your back fist is down at your stomach like I said, but the front is going to the throat? Your throat? Someone else's throat? What I meant for us is that our backfist is in a guard and hangs out near our chin in Chidokwan. When my friend practices with us he always puts it by his stomach.

Wait, Monobrow is a girl? ::pictures girl with monobrow:: Yeesh...

I had forgotten about that video. Haven't yet beaten FFVI so I can't watch it all the way through though... How, exactly, do you do that?

Trooth. Of course, I'll see you at the NYC meetup. Since it's a mere 40 min trainride for me.

British actor-comedian Sacha Baron Cohen says the time has come to shed forever his persona as Borat, the boorish, oversexed, TV journalist from Kazakhstan who became a surprise box office sensation last year. http://movies.yahoo.com/mv/news/va/20071221/119828847600.html Boo

Exactly what age are we talking here? And how much liberty are you using with the term?

Totally addressed this already. Manhole. I point you to the video that I started this thread with to show otherwise. Furthermore, I can't believe I forgot about this. The entirety of Sam and Max Season One is the first series of episodic games to be released to completion, and it indicates that releasing games in this fashion is very possible and effective.

If I played FPSes, I'm pretty sure this would be one Awesome Thing.

Dude, it's fine. As I mentioned before I was struggling with how to be a sarcastic ass. Apparently I'm not very good at it.

Interesting question... I'm not really sure where to begin (it doesn't have a Wikipedia entry). It descends from Shotokan which, according to its own Wikipedia entry, is usually divided into three parts: kihon (basics), kata (forms or patterns of moves), and kumite (sparring). That's more or less how we work, except we also work with street defense, Arnis sticks and some very basic groundfighting (though a jujitsu club will be starting up next semester... I'm going to try and partake in that as well). I have a black belt shotokan friend who sometimes shows up to keep in shape, and one big difference is that my instructor always tells us to keep our guard fist next to our head, while in Shotokan the guard fist is always at the stomach (hari). That is our Chidokwan in a nutshell.

But does it have an onboard hard drive? I refuse to invest in a video camera until it captures in HD, writes directly to hard disk instead of some silly tape format, and has a decent battery life.

How the hell did this thread get back here? Before I started doing Chidokwan in college, I did Taekwondo in a neighboring town when I was roughly 8 years old, but stopped at Green belt. Since I was back and have just attained a green belt in Chidokwan, I returned to the dojo to investigate. The assistant instructor from when I was there is now head master, second only to the grand master Cho, who would stop in to train our class from time to time. But the whole damn thing has become such a goddamn business. I felt so disoriented standing in the huge mirrored rooms with lights, speakers and televisions.

I have been cheated by the Mustinator! One disc is the "lite" version of the two disc special edition version. Hence they contain all the same tracks. REDUNDANCY! REDUNDANCY!!! otherthanthatIlikeit

Things have worked themselves out... I'm back on the "yes" list.

Too lazy to quote everyone: Sam & Max Hit the Road - Don't chu try n tell me 'bout Sam'n Max! I played that shit when it first came out! (Really) Without sound! (Also really) But when I said "musical" I meant in the actual sense of a theatrical musical. Which also goes to whoever suggested other games. I mean... the first game to have an original song? As the OCRemix controversy over Space Invaders shows, the definition of a "song" can actually be pretty tricky. The song I linked to was obviously done in the style of a stage musical, and when I said that this was the first game to do that I meant it in that context. Bubsy - Oh my god, I loved this game. There were a couple of things on the box that had the character speaking about his own game, but one of the only in-game things I remember was during the introduction to the final level, where he says, "Whoa, you're still playing this thing?" Manhole was the first game to use the CDROM media. I agree about Samus... I don't think there's ever a love interest of any kind mentioned. This means she's not dependent upon a male to define her. I believe Dragon's Lair was the first game to be released on Laserdisc and one of three in total, the other two being Space Ace and Dragon's Lair II. I think Arc the Lad was the first Playstation game to use FMV. And I think Toonstruck was the first game to combine live action and animation, Roger Rabbit style.

The Schedule. Observe what's going on from 11 AM - 12 PM on Saturday in "other events." Be there.

So let's list the games (as far as you know) which debut some element for the first time. I was inspired to make this thread after playing Sam & Max 104: Abe Lincoln Must Die! today, where I saw this (also check out my thread in offtop). Pretty sure it's the .

I'll buy. Don't you dare. I'm keeping you all for myself.

I miss Mark Hamill.

Thread over.

That may not be the best question to be asking right now...

Choking out = ?

Someone like her?

A Winnar Iz Me!

Your mom. And everyone else's. Ditto... if I can see.
