You are aware that it's competing against Triple A PC games as well, right?

Yes. Which is why my imagination stopped at being among the finalists and not at winning game of the year. its still a popular vote to get there.

I mean, is our community big enough? maybe? its an interesting idea to entertain nonetheless.

I'd also love to see a MUGEN-based game becoming GOTY.

People think MUGEN is a sole work of Elecbyte and any games based on it is simply a fan-made byproduct, but the reality is that those games (i.e. TBH) is a complete game in and of it's own (as long as the assets are custom made).
Wish people would take MUGEN seriously as a platform like Unreal Engine where creators can use it to make standalone games and not just some fan-edit mix and match program.

Couldn't have said better myself.

Just an idea that popped on my mind when doing the quests for the badge. It would be nice to see M.UG.E.N/Ikemen represented up there on the awards. And I truly think the game is really good. My vote is already cast.

Was rather annoyed by that yesterday, tried to play with a friend and it simply would not allow either of us to not just fight each other but anyone else in our own rings.

Good to know I'm not the only one...

On a completely unrelated issue, Story mode: I'm unlocking all special scenes from the Super Warriors arc, and I'm missing one: Gohan + Krilling vs Android 16. Any Idea In which chapter can find a regular16 battle that is not the Boss fight or a the Goku only one in the beginning? I don't remember actually facing 16 outside those...

Stay way from Altered Beast, it's fucking bad, Kid Chameleon's a mixed bag but the fact you're not good at Sonic games tells me to avoid this one too.

Altered Beast is not that bad, its just too short and maybe too simple for its own good. Kid Chameleons is only good if you ever played all megaman's on a single seating.


And since no one mentioned, Golden Axe 1 and 2. GA1 kinda suffer's from the same problems as Altered Beast, but compensates with the setting/stages, and great special moves. plus is worth to check the worst ending of all time. GA2 is one of the great games for the console.

EDIT:  OH, COMIX ZONE. probably the most interesting mix of comic books and video games there is.

Ok, I'm not having much trouble on what I should do, but on WHERE i should do.

I'm Using Devon's WWX HD screenpack. I'm testing some stages and characters and adapting them to work on 1280x720p resolution. but I want to check the debug info, and the font is incredibly tiny,

I tried to modify the  f-4x6 font DEF , but couldn't make it actually bigger, only taller and more spaced.
i tried to change the f-4x6 font to one of the true type fonts on the font folder, changing the font1 setting on the screenpack system.def, but it didn't change.

So the question is: what should I change and where? is it on the screenpack's system.def? on the default's system.def? on a fight.def somewhere? do I have to recreate f-4x6 completely on a proper size?

Eita, Toninho de volta?

pode-se afastar do MUGEN, mas o MUGEN nunca se afasta de você... comecei tentando fazer uma compilação velha funcionar pra ter algo mais com aparência de jogo completo pra jogar de tempo em tempo, acabei baixando o 1.1b e to “remasterizando” a compilação, tentando achar o mínimo de mudanças para fazer tudo rodar.

Esse ano ainda eu atualizo meus stages e relanço tudo.

So to surpreso que metade dos personagens dessa compilação apareceu naquele tópico de personagens que não envelheceram bem.

I dropped a bunch of Winmugen stages on a 1.1b folder and they are moslty working fine. but when they run, this happens




notice that its not the boundleft/boundright bug, since the character don't actually go out of bounds.

And when you play on an actual 1.1b stage, it works fine.

And so it ends. Forsaken. the mystique the place once held fades as the thin fog of its nature.
Her words still hurts like a blunt dagger through his heart. The place he once called home, now eagerly awaits the moment he is nothing but a shadow on the horizon. he is no longer welcomed. persona non grata

Denial strikes. "it can not be that bad" he thinks "Time will sweep it, as it had always done".
He dons the likeness of a might bovine knight, crossing the cold forest of another world, hunting the pelt of great wolves, a task given by his Green bosses. but the incessant strikes of the blade of a annoying enemy prevents him to gain the desired peace.

"I need a time alone" he ponders "Only me against the A.I. like old times". however, his box had gained the 3 red markings. so he turned to the one that could grant his soul the peace he desired: the fourth one. However, the vapors were in the process of keeping up with the times. Not just the fourth one was unavailable, but also the game of space bending.

in a desperate measure, he decided to ride in search of his dreams of peace, mounted on a steel steed. but as his dreams were crushed on the rocks below, a misplaced hit of a button brought him back to his inner turmoil

"The Novels" he says "In times like this, a good Graphic novel always heal my soul". He picks one at random. Its a tale from the Lord of dreams. a tale about change and destruction. about one's place on the universe and how delirium started such quest. a tale in which desire was denied.

He takes it as a sign. he understand what he must do. "I'm moving to the northern lands", he remembers, "life as i know it will cease to exist on a few days. its only fit that every bit of it should end."

a sour note, no doubt, but and end still.

He erases his markers. the hall of his opera has 3 blank spaces now. as he write his final words, he can not avoid to think about the future: His words, rolled up with the non-sense trash by the one he regarded as his nemesis, disregarded as petty ramblings.  His very name forgotten by the few he helped and the fewer he called comrades.

Seven cycles. It was quite the time. It was quite the journey. but now he realizes that its time to move. the anchor had been broken, and a new bright future awaits.


 As he reach the main entrance, He looks at the place he helped manage and he says to the eletronic wind

"Good bye, so Long and Farewell. and thanks for all the fish".

He salutes the members of the guild, turn his back to them, and walks towards the setting sun.

as his shadows get smaller, he starts to sing

Hey, Jude, don't make it bad,
take a sad song and make it better
Remember, to let her into your heart,
then you can start, to make it better.

....

And anytime you feel the pain,
Hey, Jude, refrain,
don't carry the world upon your shoulders.

For well you know that it's a fool,
who plays it cool,
by making his world a little colder.
Na na na na na na na na...

Hey Tony what are you doing?

"Telling everyone how cool Big Bang Theory is"

*laugh track*

Hey Tempest what are you doing?

"Pinpointing my post on random discussions to increase the attention i get"

*TAN TAN TAAAAAN*

no you haven't


So yeah, even tough you guys might love the little relationship troubles between Leonard and Penny, or Sheldon Quirkies, or Wolowitz trying to hump every female on the show ,the 75% nerd jokes are what separate the show from the rest, and is actually what made it viable on the first place.



coincidentally he's the most popular character on the show. the male characters in bbt are thick glasses and nasal voices and references. the girl is cleavage and a soft voice. barring sheldon who is memorable because he's very awkward and references shit all the time they're all forgettable

So we agree that referencing IS WHAT ATTRACTS PEOPLE TO THE SERIES! good.
so we agree that IT IS IMPORTANT TO THE SERIES! good.

now, let's agree that, the fact that the series is already on the 3rd season, does mean that nerds ain't the only ones that find the series funny.

otherwise, the tick would still be on.


and it's "lives", bizarro
I knew there was something wrong there... damn homophones.


when most of the show is referencing and barely anything else, yes it's a horrible thing. bbt is remembered mostly because it references nerd shit. this is also why family guy is a bad show. that's obviously not the case in seinfeld which is remembered by creating its own funny situations without relying on references most of the time

Quote
"emulator? nerdy.. he is a nerd.. hehehehe.."
a character said some nerdy shit
if i get the reference: haha, that's funny. nicely done, i get the reference
if i don't get it: haha, that's so nerdy and i don't get it but i'm laughing because i'm an idiot!!!

WOW you make it sound like writing this show must be the easiest thing on earth!! everyone is pleased

Never said it ain't. If i want complex writing, I ain't going to BBT, buddy. but there are worse things on tv (CSI Miami, for instance) and saying something "sucks" just cause you don't belong to the demographic is kinda bad at itself.

Complaining that BBT does referencing is complaining that the first seasons of south part does the "OMG he Killed Kenny". if you don't like that, sorry buddy. this show ain't for ya.

the same line repeated in a 10 second timespan should not have a laugh track

so the sound guy blew up... and the entire show is bad because of that?

no that's like comparing apples and some fruit nobody's ever heard of. if there was a tv show about chileans that relied almost completely on making injokes about chilean culture and people there are enormous chances i'd find it bad and unfunny. but a show about chileans doesn't have to rely completely on that. it could be funny by itself, just like most good sitcoms. making references most of the time isn't nerd humor, it's poor writing. revenge of the nerds wasn't mostly references.

and the show ain't just that. I've mentioned Sheldon's quirks, Wolowitz's eternal strugle for female attention, Leonard's beign the "simpathetic loser" that is attracted to Penny (which often get him in trouble). there is even Raja, who is shy to the point he can't talk out loud if a girl is in the room. and Penny herself, which is the "outsider among outsiders".

and have you noticed that all examples you used do feature Sheldon? you know why? Because that kind of joke IS Sheldon role on the show. he is the "Über Geek" who leaves in his own world and believes he is right all the time.
(and yes. I know a lot of time, I sound just like that).

You completely ignored Wolowitz, Raja, Leonard and penny, whose jokes do not rely that much on referential humor.

its easy to make a case ignoring 80% of the main cast.


right so since it's been established that both shows use referencing comics in a completely differently way why did you even bring it up

Because it is still referencing. Your picture implies that it is a bad thing to do. and that it is misplaced, after all, there shouldn't be a reason to do that.

My case being that BBT is the place to do that. on the context of the series, a heavy intake of referencing ain't only expected, but needed. otherwise, the characters would appear fakes.

Think of what an actual Veteran of Vietnam thinks when he sees Rambo. or what a cop thinks when he sees Die Hard.


uhhhh someone that doesn't get the reference will find it funny?

"emulator? nerdy.. he is a nerd.. hehehehe.."

if your premise of humor relies heavily on referencing things that you hope your audience might get then you're not really funny

I woulndn't be "Universaly Funny". however, I would still be funny.
If I tell you some brazilian jokes, you won't find it funny until i explain why.
the same way if you tell me some Chillean jokes, I won't find it funny until you explain me why.

the whole deal here is that Nerds are a much smaller group than a whole country or city.


seinfeld does not rely on referencing anywhere as much as bbt does, which is something i said several posts ago
Which is needed for the kind of characters that the show wants to portray, something that I said several posts ago.



difference being that the bizarro deal was basically explained in seinfeld while in bbt it would be a bizarro namedrop followed by a laughtrack
Because, On Seinfeld, it was a joke that should reach everyone.
On BBT, its time for the "nerd joke of the segment"
different uses here.



that's because they're mainstream due to media outside comics. referencing them is not exactly obscure

And Have I said otherwise?


i get the jokes and i don't find them funny. i know about roms and emulators and super mario 64. does that mean i have to find that shit funny? no

yes. but someone who DOES NOT know about this stuff, will find, after all  "who plays games on a staircase?" and "emulator? nerdy.. he is a nerd.. hehehehe.."

Oh, Sheldon's theory is wrong.

Flight ain't a feat of strength. is actually derived from a  kind of Kryptonian telekinetic personal force field.
otherwise, he wouldn't be able to float.

Thor's flight, on the other hand, is a "feat of strength".

if that was supposed to be the funny part the laughtrack wouldve been earlier. they had to wait for the POORLY CODED EMULATOR!! punchline instead

and what If he said "I'm checking my e-mails"? do you think it would be funnier?
the "poorly coded emulator" was simply to state exactly what he was doing. the sentence don't have "funny" outside the fact that he was on a staircase.

ugh
Thank you for proving my point.

seinfeld doing a superman funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRAFILarqSU
bbt doing a superman funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PvwtS0htyk
both are completely different. jerry doesn't make 5 superman jokes per episode

Because Jerry ain't doing a nerd show. however, he still did some jokes, didn't he?


yeah i'm glad seinfeld referenced superman, he's so obscure and nobody has ever heard of him. finally some mainstreamery for clark kent

Not superman. Bizarro. a concept created inside superman comics that, even these days, only Comic book fans are aware of it.

if he wanted, he could used references to the mirror world from the original star trek. almost every comedy show uses it at some point.

references to Superman, Batman or Spiderman entered mainstream realm decades ago.




bbt is a show that relies way too heavily on referencing outside material. it's garbage much like family guy

And what have I been saying all along: nerd humor depensds a lot on referential humor.
to dismiss it as garbage is simply because you don't get the joke.

I know the feeling. Its the reason I stopped watching Brazilian television.

Yeah, but Superman always appeared in the background, and the Bizarro episode wasn't a cheap joke at nerds' expense, it was just a goofy look at, well, a Bizarro version of our characters.

These pretzels are making me thirsty.

really, BBT ain't cheap jokes on nerds expenses. the screen writers actually did their homework.

that Mariah Carey video that she did to try to ride the "nerd love" wave is.


doesnt make it funny tho
i dont even remember most of the episodes i watched


you see.. that's the deal...

let me give an example (actually, one that I've mentioned already)




do you find these funny?


well, Nerds do. for 2 reasons:

1) The Joke itself

2) And inside joke that says : "Math jokes: You don't know what is worse: to find it funny, or that you understand why its is funny"


So, when they decided to do a show around "nerds", that kind of stuff is "not impossible, its inevitable"*.

and, and i say this as a nerd myself, they are doing a good job "dumbing things down" without disregarding who the characters are supposed to be.  (the ubuntu thing for instance).

So yeah, even tough you guys might love the little relationship troubles between Leonard and Penny, or Sheldon Quirkies, or Wolowitz trying to hump every female on the show ,the 75% nerd jokes are what separate the show from the rest, and is actually what made it viable on the first place.

also its the worst show ever
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETNiMHxu8xw

why is there a laugh track after he says he's playing a game on a poorly coded emulator. where's the humor in that

is that common to you play games on a staircase?

sure. that ain't the funniest joke, but you can see why some people would find if funny. specially people who don't make the habit of playing games wherever they go.

"normal people" find it stupid. and stupid is funny.


they don't use references anywhere as much as bbt does

yes. but they use quite frequently.
"Nerd Humor" is mostly based on referential humor. check XKCD for instance. of that "Pi/I" joke.

Seinfeld actually got the whole "superman appears on (almost) every episode)" and they actually did a whole episode on the "Bizarro concept".

that is nerd for you. because how most of the world view us, we actually enjoy when our stuff get used on mainstream.

without those jokes, BBT wouldn't be any different from any other show there is.


granted, Friends were a bad example. the closest thing that come to my mind is the crossover with mad about you (which crossovered with Seinfeld, mind you).

BBT is a show is centered around nerds. and, for the first time, they actually tried to create believable ones.
I mean, even sheldon, who is the "uber geek" ain't shown like someone who speaks leet all the time.
(I think they dropped the ball on having him like Ubuntu, but that was probably product placement).

the fact that comic book moves and games made "nerd culture" cool helped a show like that to be viable.

you, "normal people", can finally see a show that shows the world from our point of view for a change.

before that, the best thing we had were "the revenge of the nerds"... a great movie btw (gotta see ti again some of these days).

Can't that be applied to any sitcom? from Fiends to Seinfeld? actually, most comedies these days rely on referential humor. BBT simply does these for a part of the audience that 5 years ago always saw their representatives doomed to support cast to appear once every season.

BBT is funny for like, 1 episode. Then you realize is just LOL NERDS and nothing more.

If you actually expected anything more, than you really got the wrong show, buddy.

Because, as men devoleped tools and started to change the environment to their needs, instead of doing as every other mammal on the planet and adapt to theirs, we actually found a way out.

Because of agriculture, because of pecuary, because people start to build houses instead of find shelter under a tree or a cave, because we decided to make our own rules instead of following what nature dictated, Men is no longer subject to natural evolution. While we don't have big claws, big fangs or a huge body, we did something that no other animal did: we got out of the game.


because of human society, everyone has the chance to procreate, not only the "stronger" types. so we are "weaker" because both weaks and strongs can pass their genes foward.
