Well there are more Hibikis than ones made by japanese creators.

There is MasterHibiki by Laquak, Hibiki by Noctis, which is custom. It have somekind Final Fantasy gameplay with guard break amd everything. Either way I love it. There was this very cool CvS Hibiki made by some guy from MFG too but I forgot his name. I know it started with F and he made Gouki/Akuma too. Maybe someone will remember it too but these two were ones I loved the most.

I like the show. James Spader own so hard & steal every scene he is in. But that's also downsidee of the show. I mean he carry all weight of series alone. Red is such overpowered character. He always know what to say, how to act, what to do and others mostly follow him. He sometimes feel like God-type of character to me. It would be good to show he can make mistakes or being wrong too sometimes. FBI team looks like bunch of idiots compared to him and they act exactly like that, especially that blond dude Ressler... I would kick him out of the show so bad. I mean they are here mostly as obstacles for Red to overcome or lackey support for him. I wouldn't mind having some other badass character in the show. It would balance everything nicely and put off some weight from Spader.

I like villians so far but there is big flaw is how they portray them. Most of them are show as inteligent, nearly genius, able to cover their tracks near down to perfection, and thats until they cross path with Red & FBI Team (which is beginning of every episode). Since that point villians starts to make stupid mistakes (which is totally out of character) and they ends up catched, killed or in jail by Red and/or Lizzy.

As for Lizzy I hate her plot with husband & adoption thing. It's so boring and predictable they should remove it altogether and let her focus on FBI work. I wonder if Red is her father. He denied, but he could be lying. And it would be big cliche, but if he is not her father it would be let down a bit too...

Show is alright but that's about it. Season 1 was bad but they improved near season finale and they continued to do so in s02. Here in Poland there are some fanboys of the show who masturbate over each episode and I feel show is overrated. Amnel improved his acting through series but he is still average during dramatic/emotional scenes. But he works well in fighting scenes & such so it's good.

Loved Felicity. Actress is pretty, funny, have a lot of charm. I liked Diggle but lately he's not getting any attention, mostly just standing & talking to other characters. I love Caity Loitz who play Sara. She is so much better than Laurel & I hope she sticks with team for longer time. I'm afraid they will kill her later down the road to transform Laurel in real Canary but I don't know how it's gonna happen. Oliver needed 5 years to get good in fighting & hero thing, and I can't imagine how they could do that in 1-2 seasons for Laurel, which is 1-2 years in time. They could pull Time skip though.... We will see but I REALLY REALLY hope Sara will stay. Her recent relationship with Oliver have more life in it than one with Laurel ever has and it's such a shame Laurel proably will be his "ending" girlfriend....

As for Laurel she is most annoying character in the show. I absolutely hate her and it' very suprising that Kate Cassidy play her so bad. She used be so awesome as Ruby in Supernatural (before they replaced her wih another actress  >:(), or on Harper's Island... She is decent actress but in Arrow she plays in "soap Opera" style, which is annoying and the fact that Laurel is regular "damsel in distress" doesn't help. Another reason why I prefer sara who is prety, better writtten and can kick some ass. I often think that Kate inability to act is caused by how bad character is written. From awesome Ruby to bad Laurel is huge difference and I can't believe she's gotten worse in acting department....

My other gripe with the show is that have too many episodes and because of that they put a lot filler material in it. From my experiences less episodes = the better (Person of Interest is proud exception) and good shows mostly end at 13 episodes per season. CW also have habbit of getting all clean & pretty actors which stays clean & pretty even if they are getting dirty, to the point it's looks fake and unrealistic. Many of viewers In Poland also joke that episode without naked chest of Stephen Amnell is bad episode lol :D It's true though they expose him very often.

And BTW they have plans for many seasons. I readed they mentioned that Isand flashbacks will end is season five which will be 5 years from his return, and they will have to replace it with something else.

I'm curious about Flash spin-off too because it' will be character with actual powers not with some scientific enhacements like in Arrow. I only disliked that they casted black girl as Iris (Flash girlfriend), but maybe she will turn out to be ok.

So we should just keep betas you posted a while back or revert to "official" versions ? Because frankly I hoped you would finish them, especially for Ken. These new modes sounded very fun.

But I understand you got bored, no matter how dissapointed I am. As long you are not quiting althogether I'm (almost) fine. Good luck with Rolento.

I read another 3 John le Carre books:

A Murder of Quality

This time George Smiley is tring to solve murder of wife one of the teachers in some University. Carre departs from spy themes for a bit and this time book is crime-detective type of story. I liked it because it provided more insight into Smiley's mind, but overall it was weakest novel from Le Carre I readed so far. Le Carre portrayed British Univerisity in the 60-ties very well with all snobistic and closed community, which felt superior to everyone else. Pretty miuch all teachers annoyed me. I can't imagine how it was to be teached in that kind of schools during that time. Whole murder and investigation was nicely written but It was no big suprose there. Overall novel felt like those old classic crime novels by Agatha Christie. It was definitely different from other Le Carre works.

The Spy Who Came in from the Cold

Le Carre is back into spy games and he do it with bang. There is new hero and Smiley is just secondary/minor character. Book tells a story of a spy who wants get revenge on German leader of Secret Service who ordered to kill many of his agents behind The Iron Curtain. Book have definitely much darker tone compared to previous Le Carre works. It's kind of sad and depressing especially at the end but it males book even better. Le Carre showed spy as amoral people, a liars who lied so much they forgotten how to tell the truth. I loved the plot and all twists. Le Carre have the ability to paint emotional scenes and switch to dry, dispassionate style is a second. It's definitely one of the best Le Carre works but I think it was overshadowed a bit by "Karla" Trilogy

The Looking Glass War

This time Le Carre show insight into rival agency of The Cricus (aka MI6 where Smiley works) called The Department. They were apparently outflanked by The Circus and now they are shadow of formerselves. Everything changes when they get intelligence that Soviets put some missles near East Germany border. When their courier is getting killed by unknown people they decide create cover operation and send agent to East Germany to confrim if the missles are truly there. Novel is nice although worse than The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. There is many characters instead of one main hero and Smiley is once again minor character here. Le Carre created bunch of believeavble characters, some symphathetic, some not. Once again spies are shown as burned out people who lost their will to live and as people who live proffesionally from lying to others. There is not much action here, just brutal realism.

Overall if you are into Cold war or you want to feel how it was like you should definietly pickiping both novels up.

By DBZ you mean Dragon Ball right ? cuz DBZ is only part of anime and not the party of whole story. DB, especially DBZ always had fairly simpled plot. Besides Akira stopped caring about plots since Frieza Saga.

Naruto have complex plot but I prefer One Piece since it's have way cooler characters and it's much lighter. Naruto is too much centered around life tragedies. Every character have some sort of trauma or dramatic experiences in the past, but they all are Ninjas so it had to be expected, but still whole thing is depressing sometimes. And constant flashbacks (especially in Anime) annoys me.

And Eichiro Oda put A LOT of thought in OP but you can see it only if you watch/read like half of manga/anime. You can see some stuff & characters showing up that was there since the beginning but you didn't actually noticed it before. And latest saga blow my mind so much....

I saw 13 episode already and I can tell show finally starting to improve. For the first time I REALLY had alot fun while watching it and for the first time I can't wait for next one.

This is how show should looked from the start but I guess they needed to find their own pace and I think they finally did it. I mean first 12-13 episodes of Arrow were weak-average at best and it got awesome near season 1 finale and I think it will be the same with AoS. With Whedon shows it's almost always like that.

The Witcher: Storm Season

Andrzej (Andrew) Sapkowski return to his famous The Witcher saga, which is prequel (some sort) showing some of earliest adventures of Geralt. Book is bit rusty at the beginning but it's getting better the more you read. There are some new characterts and some old ones like his pet friend Jaskier (I don't know his english name). There are some royal scams, schemes, and twist and once again Geralt is being manipulated by someone to do some dirty work. And he sleep with most of female characters too lol. Overall very good read. I never realized how much I missed The Witcher books until I read this one. Epilogue is very cryptic & suprising and it may hit for possible continuation. I hope it will happen because writing historical fantasy is what Sapkowski does best.

Matthew Quick - Silver Linings Playbook

It was centrainly interesing book. Very different from the movie, more psychotic, but cool. I really like that kind unusual love stories so I enjoyed it very much. I only disliked father of Pat (hero of the book) and whole baseball themes. I'm not fan of baseball or any sports for that matter so these parts bored me greatly but I liked how Pat remained opthimistic after all these bad things happened in his life. And Tiffany was fun too.

John le Carré - Call for the Dead

I always wanted to try Carre novels and I got interesed in his famous protagonist George Smiley after I readed that Spy from 2011 was such great movie. I didn't watched it yet but I started reading books about Smiley first. Unfortunately I couldn't get digital copy of the book in polish language so I had to get audiobook. It's bit pain in the ass because I read so much faster than speaker but I'm getting through it. I'm at the last chapters at the moment and is very good spy novel so far. Smiley is very unusual and interesing character. Plot feels real and entertaing and it's not about action or shooting like in the movies. I'm centrainly hyped for more books about Smiley. I can't wait when I start Karla Trilogy

I may post here more if I will have some time or if i get some responses, we will see.

Sure it could be nice to having it. Like I said he have so much moves you can split them up between normal & GS mode, give each mode different specials and supers and such. Luffy fighting style is full of moves so there is no limit of what you can do with character as long you have sprites for it. I don;'t know what others will say but I;m centrainly want him to have big movelist for any situation and as long any move is usefull you should put it in.

There is no other "big" Luffy so you could go ahead and make him limitless.

What about KoF Zillion by Mugenchina ? It's one of the biggest & funniest full games I played and it's utilize everything that full game enviroment have to offer.
No one mention Babel Sword by TATsu which was one of the oldest yet innovative games in mugen. It's really creative.
There is old demo of DBZ 2005 Game by RokCorp & ZGT Team which is great.
Rumble Pack demo was nice too. I forgot author though
Saturday Mornin' Mayhem by DDR is full of original drawn characters (Popeye, Underdog, Captain Caveman etc.) but it's also bit cheap & unbalanced.

It seems to me like you guys only know recently released games which were published here. But there are quite nice games released outside MFG or they are so old that are almost forgotten.

maybe the cancelled projects like Recruta42's Samurai Shodown game

Oh I remember that guy. What happened to him ?

But considering how whole crew is busy (Freeman & Cumberbach with their career, Moffat working on Doctor Who & other shit) I would expect s04 in early January-May 2015 and s05 in 2016 so yeah we have to wait long time... again.

S04 and S05 will be made for sure. like Byakko said they already started working on scripts for both of them and the fact they announced they working on both of them so soon might show they may be linked to each other as one big story. This only my speculation though.

I watched finale. It was great episode at first sight, heck maybe even genius. But when I started analizing it I noticed how much plot holes it had. It felt like they wanted suprise viewers so bad they didn't care how unlogical it will look. Whole episode is really great, it have dark tone I waited for, yet it's goddamn mess, plot wise.

Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty

Season 3 was great ride, but I can't help being dissapointed a bit. Average viewers will praise it for sure saying how Moffat is genius but more mature viewers like me, who were used to plot having logical sense, in first two seasons,  are left dissapointed....

So I've watched S03E02 called "Sign of Three"

Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty

I think they went overbord with humor a bit. One episode was fine, but 2/3 of whole season ? Once again I missed "regular" case and investigation. In short I missed "old" Sherlock. Season finale might compensate all of that though. I have a hunch it will be heavy and dramatic after two lighter eps. I hope for more darker tone this time There is also theory that whole season 3 might be preludium to something bigger in season 4, which so far seems to fit. . I guess we will see.

Netherless I loved how they packed tons of jokes into ep. Too bad it' wasn't really detective type episode. It seems like it was done purposely for the fandom as kind of wink for them. I'm hoping second one will be with actual case & investigation. Still when I watched it I felt like I was seeing old friend. It made me realize how much I missed the show & characters
