Repost from Th_15798035965:
Christopher Nolan is the director Oscar deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So he’ll get snubbed. Because he can take it.

Games gives you carrots to chase all the time (quests, getting to the end of the level, mission objectives), achievements are just an additional layer of that for people who like having goals.

The medium(Normal) computer isn’t very good as a gauge of your abilities as it isn’t very difficult at all.
I’m not a particularly good MvC3 player, but here’s some ideas: Are you able to block correctly? Do you use assists to create openings? If you have trouble doing hypers on the fly, have you tried doing them in training? Completing a few missions?
Actually I think Wolverine can do Berserker Barrage X (QCF + AA) off most light or medium attacks, so you should be able to practice like Light into Medium into down-forward + Light + Medium at least. I find this easier on an arcade stick instead of a controller though due to the button layout.

Posted on r/AskReddit: Is there an easy way to view multi-page articles on various websites in a single page?

Guys, add me on GameCenter: hungryroy. Also, challenge me in Words with Friends (same username). Cheers on this lazy Sunday afternoon :D

Yes it will. I have literally had this happen at a Regionals with a judge ruling and all, so I am sure. Just make sure to note that the “untap” part of the effect happens as the effect resolves, so even though you get two extra combat phases, the untaps still happen at the start of the first combat phase when both triggers resolve (i.e. you will not get to untap for the 2nd additional combat phase)

SF4 on the iPad is fun enough, although the non-HD ness of the graphics is obvious when playing at 2x. Good enough for 99c :D

Reply to CapcomMobile's tweet:
@CapcomMobile the iPhone version is neat, but is there any chance of an iPad version for SF4 coming out?

I’m not sure why it is often so hard to decide to spend $0.99 on the app store!
