I, for one, did not think District 9 was made just to be a prequel to a future movie. :colbert:

How did you even find a copy of the Street Fighter RPG?
I can't believe anyone ever actually bought the book. Did you find it in a warehouse along with every other copy?

Great update. I actually own this book. I bought it at some shop in Pennsylvania. Half the shop was RPGs and Magic cards, and the other half was yarn because the owner's mother lived with him or something. I found it on the discount display and snatched it up, although I've never played it.

The picture of Zangief is awesome because he's straining so hard that blood is shooting out of his skull.

A friend of mine from several years ago owned all of the Street Fighter books. We tried playing a game of it once. I don't remember the particulars, but the game had some kind of weird system for dealing with initiative where everyone moved at the same time or something like that. It might have not been so bad if it was just used for one-on-one fights, but our big fight scene was a free-for-all between the player characters and a group of NPC opponents, like in a normal RPG. The combat ended up being a big, confusing mess that took a ridiculously long time to resolve. Unsurprisingly we never got around to playing a follow-up session to it. When he had to move away from town and couldn't afford a rental truck my friend left a good deal of his stuff behind. I think I might still have those books in a box sitting in the back of a closet somewhere.

Steve: Where would you put the beret?

Zack: I'm sure we could come up with somewhere comically misogynistic.

Steve: How about in the kitchen?

"They're people. Deeply flawed, yes, but deeply human too. And maybe that's saying the same thing."
I have all the Street Fighter books, my friend wanted some martial arts moves for our WoD game and I figured what would be the harm. There's also a Secrets of Shadaloo book where they imply that M. Bison is a knowing servant of the Wyrm.

And then they took the combat system wholesale out and used it for WoD:Combat.

I'd be tempted to offer WoD "Kindred of the East" for the martial arts stuff, except that it's probably even more broken rules-wise than the Street Fighter game could hope to.

Now do Changeling: The Dreaming sometime! It's non-stop stupid bullshit with a side-order of nonsensical rules.

Zack: Project GX-9 will produce the perfect super soldier incorporating all of the qualities of the world's deadliest fighters: speed, stamina, strength, and double F cup hooters.

Steve: You've got to admit, it was a pretty smart move making her legs twice as long as her body and head combined.

Oh god, I had this for some reason, and I never even played D&D. Among the characters not covered were a Hawaiian guy with the power of water, a fat old Chinese man who practices Tai Chi, a purple-skinned mentally retarded gangster, an amorphous Lovecraftian horror that wears a black robe and mask to appear human, a slug-man with the quote "Prepare to die, human microbe!", and a lizard-woman who wants to mate with capable fighters and breed half-human hybrids. I only wish I'd realized how terrible this all was at the time.

Laughed like hell at this:

quote:

Steve: My uncle was a Marine and he would walk around the house all the time saying "Oorah!" and not even knowing it. It wasn't loud like that Al Pacino movie where he's blind, he'd just be working on his car or out back digging a hole or something and he'd stop and wipe some sweat off his face and say, "Oorah." Even though he didn't know I was watching him out the window and nobody was around.

Zack: Yeah, I know the last time I was spying on my uncle and watching him do yard work I- what the gently caress is wrong with you, Steve? Were his gorgeous legs mesmerizing you?
Steve: No, he had a heart attack like a month earlier and I wanted to see if he had another one, but he didn't right then. He had one blowing out candles at a birthday party like two months later though and they got it on video which I think is illegal because he died from that heart attack, but not right then he died like three days later.

Zack: Maybe he wished he was dead.

Zack: Oorah!

This book was amazing. I really didn't think there could be anything worse than those Rifts books, but this... it's like they got together a class full of third-graders, had them each make a SFII fan character, bound the sheets together and shoved it out the door.

A lot of though clearly went into the backstories.

"Let's make a character from Kentucky."
"What is Kentucky known for?"
"Horses and bourbon."
"How about a guy who eats horses and drinks sour mash?"
"Okay, next character. How about a guy..."

A game where a Russian man in a speedo grabbed a polar bear and jumped into a nearby tornado so he could suplex the bear better and where a very tan Japanese man punched out a US navy sub at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean.

The whole universe is meant to be absurd. I think 'horse meat and sour mash' is just on the low side of the absurdity.

Wtf, DnD? posted:

Zack: You see a tree stump with a vagina and a weird rabbit sitting on top.


Steve: Oh no, I'm not falling for this one. I bet if go over there and try to ravish that tree stump hard that rabbit is gonna flip out on me or something.


Zack: Are you sure?


Steve: Well now you're making me second guess. What if my only way out is to stick my barbarian dorkus into a swamp stump's giant human genitals? What do I do?


Zack: You'd better decide quick! That stump is getting turned on!


Steve: Ahhh, I don't know what to do!


Zack: That is one horny stump. The rabbit is barking like crazy. There are birds swooping around. The whole jungle wants you to do that tree stump.

The harrowing vagina-stump scene had me on the edge of my seat! This is probably the pinnacle of an already great series. Wtf DnD owns.
