The Coop

Came out of it with a score of 31 (1,6,7,8,9,10,12,15,16,17,18,19,20,22,23,24,26,27,28,29,32,33,34,35,38,39,42,43,45,46, and 49), and there are several I'm certain I know, but their games aren't coming to me... namely 2,3,5,37, and 48.

I don't hate or love EA. They've made good games, they've made bad ones... though I do have to admit they sure have gone patch happy as of late with some games. Perhaps some extra game testing is in order. Anyway, what I'm not fond of, is the idea of there being fewer and fewer game companies out there that aren't under some larger conglomerate's umbrella. I've always believed that competition is fertile breeding ground, and it's hard to have competition when companies that once fought and pushed each other, are under the same roof. And really, with this move, EA is in the position to literally eliminate one of their biggest competitors (perhaps their biggest?) in the world of sports gaming. That's not a good thing to me. Yes, there's a chance that various aspects of the 2K line may wind up in Madden, but I personally believe that Madden is its own machine, and that nothing of the 2K line will remain should EA acquire Take 2 (be it by hostile or mutual means).

Except for the folks making the 2K sports games. Those people will get a nice fruit basket and a hearty pat on the back as they're escorted from the building

I haven't given up on those last four from Puzzle Booble 2, I've just been a bit busy. So fuckin' help me, I'm going to find a usable color for each of them.

Dear DrumUltimA, No. It's only gone because you have it currently selected. Once you change it, the new one will vanish from your list, and the old one will reappear. Backwards Pantless Hugs™ and Hershey's Kisses, The Coop

Don't have any bewbs, but here are a couple tits... Nice and symmetrical too.

The drama! The suspense! OMGWTFAFK! Anyway, I used a couple different pictures of our latest candidate... As friendlyHunter, the skin color isn't right at all. Even taking into account the jpg compression, you can tell our candidate has paler skin of a different shade. You can also see, that JV has likely had his nose broken at some point (see the odd bend in the middle of its bridge). Another thing, is that despite being pudgy, JV has a chin to comes to a point noticeably more than NWG's. Factor in differently shaped ears, and other smaller difference (eye shape, head shape when smiling, etc), and I believe I can safely say that JV and NWG are not the same person. He could do a good cosplay, but he ain't OCR's mystery man. And just for the hell of it...

What a fantastic idea!!! I wonder why no one has ever thought of this. Because it doesn't work on the Internet?

THAT'S what the other theory was (Spanish soap opera). When I logged off last night, something was nagging me about that. Anyway... I personally don't believe they're one and the same unfortunately, for several reasons... - The bridge of the actor's nose seems to be more pronounced (might be to viewing angle though). - The shape of the actor's face, even with the less poofy hair, appears longer than the round face of NWG. - The bottom of the actor's nose looks narrower. - The actor has a longer chin. And here's my final bit of evidence... I used an old trick to compare their faces. First, you rotate both heads so that they're eyes are horizontally level, and then scale the larger head down so that the eyes and the bottom of the nose basically line up. As you can see, the actor's head looks too small on the NWG's body after doing this, yet his chin still extends below the NWG's, even though both have a very similar facial expression. It's a good likeness, but I doubt it's our mystery man.

It's actually closer to one twentieth I believe that's what it was. However, I don't recall ever seeing links to anything, or posted images, comparing NWG to anyone.

I read that a long time ago, but I never saw any proof, links or anything else to show his theory to be anything but that... a theory.

Not on a black and white TV it isn't.

They do show game speed though.

A bump? No. This is akin to ramming the thread with a diesel locomotive running at top speed towing a full 100 car load of coal.

*screenshot of the page as I read this post* UNDENIABLE PROOF! Also, this.

Of course they're not sprites. But these 3D models can be seen as redrawn versions of those old 2D sprites, only using polygons instead of pixels (drawn in the sense of placing points on an X/Y/Z grid, instead of pixels on an X/Y grid). Of course, you could also call these polygons a remolding, seeing as working on 3D models is more like working in clay (start with a basic shape, and build from there). Regardless of how you look at it though, this is yet another version of familiar characters. And speaking of characters, I wonder if Balrog, Vega, Sagat and Bison are going to wind up appearing in some form. They're all that's missing at this point.

Been a while since this thread was updated. Time to fix that. XOP So what is XOP? It's a shmup that used to be sold, but the author decided that it was a failure as shareware. So, he made it freeware. The graphics are bright and colorful, there's little flicker or slowdown, and it has a strange mixture of old DOS and Amiga Euroshmup influences in background and ship designs/colorings. Plenty of stages, several modes, and lots of options to tinker with. It's not a bad game at all, and despite how it looks, it was indeed made for new PCs, so it runs in XP without any problems. Oh, and it's got plenty of bullets and enemies to dodge, as it has a few roots in the Manic shmup world too.

And Chun-Li's thighs continue to get stupidly thick.

A small bump, with a couple quick additions.
