Stick building question! I need to cut a piece of plexi for the lid on a box, and I need to know the best way to go about it. Last time I attempted something like this the plexi exploded (for lack of a better term) after I cut the third button hole. I was using a spade bit and going really fast with the drill. Since then I've purchased forstner bits, but I'm unsure what the technique should be. Really fast, or slow through the plexi? I'm thinking slow, but I'd like to get some input before I flush $8 down the toilet.
Ideally with a drill press. If you cant get one than make sure the plexi is well supported and weighted on the edges and do a firm downward press. Also, are you using plexi or lexan? Because I'll be honest, Plexi is a bitch to drill by hand while Lexan is super easy. Slagcoin recommends Plexi for a number of very good reasons but if toughness and ease of drilling is your thing than Lexan is superior (although more expensive, depending on sheet size).

I assume you've read this, but I'll post it anyways:

Drilling

Drilling acrylic and polycarbonate can result in problems, especially with acrylic. As with wood, be sure to have the acrylic supported on a flat surface, and periodically pull out the bit when drilling deep. Spiral-shaped drill bits generally do not work well with acrylic as they pull at it. When using spiral bits, be sure to transition small to large bits through it (like 1/16" to 1/4" in five increments) to make it much easier, more exact, and much less likely to crack. Maybe sandwich the acrylic between rigid panels to reinforce it. If you can find bits without spiral grooves (like glass and diamond grinding bits) to do the work, things are often much easier.

A hole drill bit will be used in putting joystick and button holes in the acrylic. I tend to prefer hole saws for doing this work, but the arbor on these has spirals that can hurt; either replace the arbor with a bit that does not have spirals, or remove the arbor and make a template that can to center the drill in the proper locations. The only other large bits I suggest for acrylic are spurred spade bits (avoid ones without spurs) and (to a much lesser extent) forstner bits.

A lot of friction can cause acrylic to crack, melt, or warp. Keep the drilling slow and release it from the surface often to let it cool. Water and dish soap can work well as lubricant to keep things cool and smooth. The panel will also be less likely to warp if it is sandwiched during drilling.

#mbaa is fine if you already know how to play the game, but it's a bit unwelcoming for newbies. On the other hand, every goon in #goonsgarden is awful (except for bbj who is like the master of anime or something).

Sasquatch, bad matchups? I think not (Well, maybe Zabel). Anyway, do a dash and then press back right away. He does a short hop which covers the screen really fast and lets you do ridiculously fast overheads that all lead into silly amounts of damage. I'm no Sasquatch player, but he's really good, he has some of the best pressure in the game and an amazing high/low/throw mixup.

Assuming you're talking about Vampire Savior / Darkstalkers 3, Sasquatch doesn't have bad matchups.

Make sure you're using shorthops to gain ground when possible, and if she falls into a predictable pattern with fireballs you can use your icicle super to knock her down from any range. You can also use his ice breath to cancel out projectiles if for some reason it would be more advantageous than blocking. (It's his best meter-building move and it's relatively safe.)

One you get in just take advantage of Sasquatch's incredible mixup. The advantage there is all yours, especially for the kind of Morrigan player who thinks VS is Street Fighter and tries to zone you with fireballs in the first place. You'll want to bait DPs once in a while but if she misses even one you can take off like a third of her life.

Actually it would be a mixed bag at best because it would kill the GGPO community which already serves the same function only with a better lobby and those 18 people can get to know each other there.

Unless this is some theoretical dream world where Capcom uses GGPO netcode, implements an in-game chat channel, lets you see the exact ping of other players before you decide to match them, and ports it to PC.

Then it would be awesome.

Capcom would do it to consoles in a heartbeat if they knew people cared enough about darkstalkers to make a profit. Problem is, only 18 people care about Darkstalkers (19 if you include myself).

Haha, that's awesome.

Speaking of awesome, I just looked at the Skullgirls website and saw a feature that's been added during the delay to "early 2012" for the release. To pause the game, you have to hold Start for 15 frames. I've heard tales of a really good local SF4 player have to forfeit a round he was winning against a top UK player due to accidentally hitting Start, so this can only be a good thing!

Actually, how open are the Skullgirls lot to conventions and events outside of the US? I'm doing a big all-round gaming thing in the summer and wondered if they'd be likely to send cool stuff to promote the game.

One of the 3D MK games had a similar thing that'd let you commit suicide if you typed in the right code before the other guy performed a fatality.
