Best of the Rest: Dave’s Picks of 2010
The following originally appeared on Joystiq, the site I write for. It is reprinted here in its entirety.
1 vs 100
This summer, something terrible happened: Microsoft canned 1 vs 100, its experiment in live trivia gaming. With two seasons under its belt, I became quite enamored with the free game. Honestly, my Tuesday and Friday nights will never feel the same again. Also, it's sad I'll likely never get to use the above image in a post on Joystiq again.
In Pursuit of Super Street Fighter IV Skills: Fei Long
The Street Fighter series has been a mainstay for me throughout my entire life. Heck, I love it so much, some of its damn fictional characters have shaped my life (I feel a little weird admitting that). So when Super Street Fighter IV was announced, I was determined to get back to a respectable skill level. I'm getting there, one character at a time.
Sure, things like Hadokens and Dragon Punches are so ingrained in my DNA that I'll never be able to forget how and when to use them, but I want to branch out. I want to establish a deeper skill set and I want to be less of a one-trick pony in the game. So I decided to start playing with characters I have little-to-no experience with. First up: Fei Long.
