We should always look forward. What captivates me most about new video games is the social, cooperative element that, in generations past, only existed as a kernel of what its grown into. Rock Band? Left 4 Dead? Amazing. And it all started with two-player Contra.

Didn't know there was a loser's bracket! Should have read the first post more carefully, eh? I'm ready for you, Dyne2057.

If you hate chiptunes, how does the article address your having participated in a buzzworthy chiptune album? Doesn't add up.

Lost this bracket.

Gamer tag: Shael Riley.

Really? Was he banned at EVO? Is there a write-up about that anywhere?

Hey. Can I sneak into this? Just had some great matches with DJ P and he directed me here.

The intro and outro were cute.

We haven't had one since 2002. Come on, guys.

What the fuck?

I'm playing this coming Friday (Aug 7th) at The Tank with Schaffer the Darklord.

Hey! Thanks for doing this intricately detailed write-up on me, Doug! I didn't want to do a big, self-promoting post that was all like "buy my new album" so I'm glad you did one for me. Thanks for the kind words, guys. Glad you're liking it.

This is a real stand-out remix. It doesn't color by numbers, and despite its female vocalist, it's got balls.

I enjoyed it.

Check this shit:

Oh my goodness! Look how far our little in-joke has come. Zircon, you've made me happy.

Wow! Color me impressed. I was sold on the concept, but the execution is better than I had imagined. I love it.

Why don't you just split the game into two separate games? You could even have the two games re-unite on occasion for a special session.
