SF x T just needs to lose all that shadow texture filter crap. It’s like some 12 year just went nuts in photoshop on the graphics. “LOOK HOW SICK I MADE IT LOOK!”

:lol:

Man, I thought I hated how the SF cast looked in that style. Yeesh

[Cryoh]

Akuma and Wolverine in MVC3 are team Best Friends Forever. Aka they are fucking strong together, both benefiting greatly from each other’s assists. Wolverine with Akuma’s tatsu assist is a force to be reckoned with.

Psh, no one wants any of Wolverine’s assists.

Some shaving advice:

1. Don’t use razors with multiple blades. They have no point. A razor is a basically just a simple machine (a wedge) that removes the top layer of mostly dead skin along with the hairs when applied at around a 30 degree angle (safety razors do this for you). All multi-bladed ones do is pull the hair out of your skin a bit before one of the blades down the line cuts it. This will eventually lead to ingrown hairs as you are cutting the hair below the skin! The only reason American companies moved to multibladed razors in the 70s and 80s was because they realized that switching that multibladed cartridges don’t last as long as traditional double edged razor blades (there is only 1 blade to fuck up while iwth multiblade cartridges there are 2-5 blades and if any of them get nicked, rusted, or dull, it has to be replaced) and they could sell proprietary cartridges for several dollars each when double-edged razor blades can be bought for a cent each in bulk.

2. Use a double-edged safety razor. American companies don’t make these anymore for reasons stated above so you’ll have to look around. Merkur in Germany makes a great starting model: the Merkur HD 34C. It runs at about 30-45 bones, is made of 100% stainless steel, is heavy enough to discourage you from pressing down (DO NOT USE PRESSURE IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET A CLOSER SHAVE!) and will probably outlive you. You may wish to look into other razors yourself. good forums with reviews are “badger and blade” and “shave my face”

3. Use a quality shaving cream and a badger hair brush to induce a lather and apply it. Edge or whatever cheap spray can shaving cream sucks. I use Taylor’s of Old Bond but stuff like Proraso is cheaper and good enough. The badger brush will actually exfoliate your face before hand. If you’re cheap, you can get mug shaving soap in CVS and while not nearly as good as Taylor’s or something, it’s much better than edge.

4. Always shave using warm to hot water, not boiling or cold. You want your pores to be open so wet your face with the brush before lathering up. Never shave in the shower either. You want to do a decent job and not give yourself a Chelsea smile.

5. Shave with the grain. If it’s not a close enough shave, lather up, and do it again. Think of the razor as a scythe, not a hoe.

6. Easy on the aftershave. It dries your skin and women think it’s gross.

Oh and don’t buy all this shit at The Art of Shaving. They are horrifically overpriced.

Take a shower before you shave too. The hot water pops the hairs up.

I need to get my beard surgically removed, since I can never do a clean shave without looking like a was stung by a million hornets. (I have a baby skin face :sad:)

P.S., This is not a plea for help as there is nothing on this earth that can prevent my ingrown hair other than a low shave.

[Amazing_Funbags]

Guess I’d better invest in a safety razor then.

[Shaft_Agent]

get the sounding kit first though

Youtube (and certain streaming sites) consistently freezes the hell out of my comp to the point where I have to manually shut it down. I think I might need more ram. Shit is irritating.

[BlackShinobi]

Got home from work and watched Torchwood: Children of Earth through, Despite its sad lack of Freema Agyeman it clearly the best part of that series. That shit is grimey all the way through and the Captain Jack goes all Jack bauer at the end. Hell I haven’t even seen Jack Bauer, get that Jack Bauer since like season 7 or some shit.

(Ha! Valaris, where did you find that picture exactly?)

Sorry, I didn’t mean for shaving discussion to take over everything. I was just curious since I don’t exaggerate when I say my father is worthless for most everything.

Well for starters multiple blades are bad a thing. They claim to reduce irritation but they do nothing of the sort.

Also you shave with hot water right? can’t count how many people told me they shave with cold water. Blows my mind.

Good to know about the multiple blade things. Yeah, I shave with hot water…most of the time–not that it really helps. I’m still in the habit of using water at times since I didn’t actually use that until like, oh, 4 or 5 years ago when I shaved.

I knew 4, 5 and 6 (not that I care about looking good to attract people), but the other stuff was informative. I’ll look into it, thanks.

[goodm0urning]

Use clippers. Go for that stubble. That sound you just heard was panties dropping.

Every damn time… every damn time these fucks at Youtube change the shit around to make it worse than it was before.

I wanted to get in some quality gaming time tonight, but the internet (with the exception of the giant plate of horse-shit youtube is these days) has been way too good to me tonight. Yes, I’ve found all kinds of exciting new “material”.

…and of course, “keepTube” suddenly doesn’t work. Bullshit, man. I still have other means of acquiring what I want from there.

Psh, no one wants any of Wolverine’s assists.

hahah, wolverine not on point is quite the joke my good man. logan on point is a 1 person team (+ friendship assist), aka the ‘real’ dark phoenix.

Any fair-skinned metrosexuals in the house? I want to try a hair removal cream but I fear the chemical burn. In thinking Nair Crotch might be safe on my torso.

[Boel]

sorry we are much men

I saw Sirlin on X-Play the other day, showing off his Yomi card game. That was interesting.

I used nair once during my bi-curious phase. It is not bad, be sure to follow the directions. I felt no burn at all. I can’t even no homo this shit.
