SRK Lounge Holidays Edition

the stampeding is already happening in good ol england. Someone was stabbed to death in footlocker a few hours ago.

asians hitting the bargains before everyone else.

good to see the rest of the world is just as stupid

heh, they had the same issue as me. Like a thousand people TOTAL are playing it. Across both consoles. It takes FOREVER to fight anybody, and some of the cards have too similar abilities to other cards, and the shit cards are 100% pointless in any way shape or form.

And I wish I got Catan for Christmas. I have it on 360 and iPhone, but need a real version of the game

also LOL @ asian stampeding. That shit would tickle

What’s the deal with everybody covering their mouths in the pictures? Did somebody fart?

Only problem I have with it is that instead of putting forth a good primer on KoFXIII or SCV, discussion on a myriad of topics in the community could probably be addressed, we get a review on some game type that was made for casual players to have fun.

As for Cataan, my best friend has been giving me boardgames for the past 3-4 years. Started with Puerto Rico, then he got me Cataan and now the U.S. map Cataan. Got him the TMNT hardcover tpb vol 1; fun times seeing somebody go “holy shit.”

Yea having just bought KOFXIII and it being my first KOF, A primer would be really nice…Or shit at least link the videos by DandyJ if they’re too lazy to do some real work.

What’s really funny is that when I played M:TG and a new deck broke out at a tournament, it was almost guaranteed that you were going to get a primer on that motherfucker within the week; and a well written one at that too. But here people see new teams and stuff like that and you get nothing. I know Wiz already said that the days of catering to the hardcore are over but man, at this point they are trying to cater to Eventhubs front page posters.

Speaking of poles, sweatpants, and funny powers.

Spoiler

I make mere mortals SUPER JEALOUS when I wear sweatpants.

A Primer isn’t catering to the hard core tho…it’s informing newbies so it’s double dumb not to have something of the type. But then i hear Wiz and his posse don’t like SNK at all. Will probably never get proper coverage of their games, much less time at one of their events, so like they fuckin care.

and yet you come to SRK…

Problem? Wanna argue about it? You know you wanna…

/kidding.

(“Holidays Edition”? Uh, what other holidays are going to be coming up while this thread is open? Kwanzaa? New Year’s? Fuck those.)

Lol at Redlettermedia eviscerating Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skulls. I’ll talk about that in the movie thread, though, since it’s been forever since I posted in there.

Pretty sure they did already. Like a week after it dropped. It just got quickly swept away in the front page’s tidal wave of overflowing muck like everything else.

Anyway, a primer on what (characters), exactly? Isn’t there a tutorial thing in the game?

they want to argue with me, thats the problem.

I am forced to go to a Cheesecake factory today, what can I order that won’t make me want to murder the person sitting next to me? Please help dawgs, hella serious right now.

Firecracker Salmon.

Well in M:TG primers covered the deck, how to play it, notable cards and plays that happened with them, basic match ups and how to play them and gimmicks with the deck. Closest we’ve gotten to a proper primer was PR Rog talking about Balrog. Fuck me about looking for it though; its buried under mountains of crap.

So we have this

and this

but you still need a fucking primer?

I am at a loss.

man, my sister did fuck all last night. She wakes up and is full of energy. same when opening gifts. Time to clean up? Oh thats her nap time. Then when we cook, she goes and just hangs out downstairs. Then when its time to do dishes and clean up after dinner, she tries to go lay down for a nap or some shit, and my dad says ‘stop being lazy today and help your mother’. Well this sets her off the fucking deep end. She runs upstairs and cries and accuses my dad of being an asshole. Then when he goes to talk to her, she accuses him of calling her a fat lazy bitch (didnt happen), and starts to tell him to fuck off. So my entire family tell her he never said that. So she goes on fucking facebook and starts posting about it all over her front page, getting all her friends sympathy, and embarrassing my dad for shit he never did. I came mighty close to backhanding her. MIGHTY close.

anywho, my buddy wrote this up, and it cracks me up. Basically compares the movie rudolph to communism and WWII:

also, one of my customers who called in today is named Terry Bogard. But Terry is spelled different. Either way, this comment is the closest I have ever come to playing a KoF game in years

(Hunh. It’s been forever since I’ve listened to all the music I have. Maybe I’ll do that today while cleaning…)

I kinda have to agree with angelpalm with regards to this, especially considering how much many of the old posters have kvetched about hand-holding around here.

As much as I dislike the front page, it actually has a search function that isn’t shit now. So…yeah.

In this instance, I’d argue that it’s more a problem of forum organization or, rather, threads in character sub-forums not being organized enough in their information than it has to do with the front page being crap.

you what the fuck id slap my sister for that bullshit

The world is coming to an end. I’m with soviet and the damned on the hand holding thing.

P.s. Ya’ll be some scrubs.
