The rules here are simple, yet profound:
attn: new users. We have been taught by long and bitter experience to distrust those who are unfamiliar to us. Please routinely use a single handle, and make a calm, relatively rational introductory post telling us who you are. Otherwise, you run the risk of being repeatedly subjected to the Traditional Newbie Question*.
this board is unmoderated and uncensored. Please don't do anything that would make us change that policy.
we tend to converse here in casual, unmodified English with occasional forays into volleys of inventive profanity. Deliberate misuse of the English language, unironic l33tspeak, or morons who can't be bothered to look at what they're typing will be, at best, mocked. As a general rule, if what you've just written would result in your death at the hands of your high school English teacher, it is unacceptable here.
one online quiz per person per week. Please. If the only reason you come here is to post quizzes, then get a Livejournal.
get off Kenma's damn grass.
evil twins, sibling masquerades, and multiple personalities are strictly forbidden.
almost against our better judgement, we maintain an IRC channel. Connect to irc.esper.net and join #octagonrumble.
That's about it. Enjoy.

I have a daughter (born 6th December 2008). I also have a new Youtube channel that I forgot I had and, until recently, was never used. So for those of you who care and have 90 seconds to spare, you can see what she looks like (along with my wife, Rosemary - I'm behind the camera though, so no joy there) here:
I finally have a copy of Street Fighter IV for my ps3.

I'll be in Japan in 1D3 months, so I'll be happy to accept challenges from folks on this board. I'll also try to find a way to set up some Melty Blood AC netplay. I'm pretty low tier.
So, if you haven't heard by now (and the people who know this board exists should have heard), Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is getting a U.S. release by the grace of God and who knows how many licensors (and, also, I postulate, a Nintendo that is dead set against having an open reason for people to hack their consoles). One character will not make it from the Japanese release - we're sorry to see the genie go. Instead, we get five characters to replace him and wifi support.
Yeah, we're really sad over losing him. Watch me cry. ^_^
So, three characters from Tatsunoko works and two from Capcom. Wishlist time!
Gatchaman seems to be pretty well represented. I think a gang of traditional Yokai based on the bunch that was running around saving people in Karas would be a neat character...like the umbrella, a pair of geta, some other yokai connecting it together. Or, for something simpler, Nue the Cool Guy, the female Karas, or the gigantic bull demon mikura from near the end...a good match for Lightan.
Maybe Tekkaman Blade to have another version that isn't so portly looking?
Or...how about Speed Racer?
Judo Boy? Then they could add Sagat and Judo Boy could have HARSH WORDS FOR HIM.
Generator Gawl?
For Capcom...Bionic Commando. A Star Gladiator, preferably either Gamof or Zelkin, though Claire would be OK too. If they can put Lightan in, why not Kikaioh from Tech Romancer?
...courtesy of Capcom failing at Javascript, Shoryuken.com forum readers being alert to this, and Racewing bringing this to our collective attention.
Tatsunoko newbies:
Tekkaman Blade (formally announced)
Joe "The Condor" Asakura
Yatterman-2
Capcom newbies:
Zero (either MMX Zero pleeeeeease, MMZ Zero, or Zero Gouki from Cyberbots)

I do understand the Tatsunoko choices covering no new properties, seeing as they went through licensing hell to get what they did. On the Capcom side, I can say I am pleased, and now I need to get a 360 of my own and Dead Rising. ^_^
That post was supposed to be on the thread that Nick and Nanashi were posting on...I'd delete it, but this is prolly the most traffic this poor forum has seen in months.
Plaid Knight would be Jake, our resident masters' degree recipient. (For the record, it appears Mr. Howard is also trying for one of these things, in library science.)
...yeah, I'm older than both of them and fighting for a bachelors'. What of it?
