Street Fighter 4 gameplay video

Looks awesome.  Love the fluidity of the movement and the effects when they do their special moves.  I gotta say though, I’m not a huge fan of the art style they chose.  I mean seriously, look at the picture above.  The intensity in Ryu’s face makes it look like he hasn’t taken a shit in days or something.  It’s like they went back in time to Street Fighter 2 and made it 3d.  i would have much preferred 3d versions of the Alpha series or the Udon comic style.

There’s still time left for humanity…

…because as this video shows, Asimo fell down, and couldn’t get up. Asimo, Honda’s metal contraption with no soul that feebly attempts to mimic human walking, tried to walk up some steps in a presentation in Japan, slipped and tumbled down to the ground. Robo-medics (already the robots have slaves!) rushed to their master’s rescue, covering him up from the scorn and derision of humans before opening up his chest to make some repairs.

While this is a cause for celebration, all this means is that our generation will be known as “those who lived free from the robots’ yoke”. Our grandchildren will have to deal with the robots, but fuck ‘em and let them handle it, just like they’ll have to deal with the environment.
