Yeah, if you ever played Tony Hawk Pro Skater (or the skating minigame in MGS2 for that matter) you should pick up on horsebreaking easily.

Also, just managed to get Master Hunter 3 in single player all at once. Entire fucking pack came after me and I managed to cut them down one by one.

Submissions are harder, yeah, but you can escape from them usually if you pace your stamina enough, and once you get used to the charge and shine system you can even make submissions work for you.

See, if you want to train submissions, you must first get the Salaverry position, then Salaverry elbows, and then the Salaverry Armbar.

Why you ask? Simple. Salaverry position + Salaverry elbows at 3 = easiest way to make sure your opponent will eventually be rocked in training. Then lock the armbar in, if your sub offense is good enough you should get a tap.

Train it up to level 2 or 3, then work on the other ones you want, using the salaverry to train them.

It's kinda lame that you HAVE to do this to get reliable sumissions, but with practice you can learn any submission and train to 3 easily enough with this method.

Also for the harder difficulty levels, I HIGHLY recommend you stay with doing Ultimate Fight Nights for as long as you can. If you're not trying to go undefeated, I'd even recommend taking a few losses at WFA to keep you there for longer. Take the easier opponents until you have a solid foundation to compete with the big boys.

Of course, 3 won't happen unless Spartan wins.

Jacobsen: "IT'S A WALL OF BRONZE! YOU RUSKIES DON'T STAND A CHANCE!"

Meanwhile Sonny Puzikas just shrugs because he knows he can kill Jacobsen with a toothpick if he wanted to.

By the way, Ghost:

Celt vs Persian IS a good espisode, if you ignore the way the special weapons end up factoring into the kill counts.

If you watch I'm sure you'll agree the Celts were robbed.

I said best character in the movie, not the games.

Though Cage is one of my favorites in the games.

*needs to play MK:Armageddon again, misses epic battles with Kawada and Chuck Norris*

True, but also in those five minuites, the best character in the first movie is killed off.

YOU PRESSED THE WRONG BUTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

And yeah, pretty sure Morrigan is just 'there'. She'll probably still have her old sprite.

You know who'd be an AWESOME bonus character for Marvel side? Squirell Girl.

This list is lacking of The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, and is therefore invalid.

Also, why is the D&D movie here? Or Legend of Chun-Li.

They weren't THAT bad, just dissapointing as hell. Take the same movies, take all the Wizards-trademarked stuff out of the D&D movie and change the names of the characters in Chun-Li, and they'd have been considered passable movies.

Mortal Kombat: Ahnilation and Bloodrayne on the other hand... yeah, those movies just plain fucking sucked. They should be ranked higher (or lower, depending on how you look at it) if anything.

EDIT- Also, how did Saw 5 make the list when Saw 3 didn't?

Actually, other than Sun Tzu vs Vlad The Impaler of course, KGB vs CIA sounds the most interesting of the remaining ones.

Also will probably make for a really cool fight sequence.

Nah, I go for Riley myself.

...And Brick.

And Sarah Lyons if she got over her daddy issues...

Moira's more the 'friend who happens to be a girl'.

EDIT-

Oh, I forgot Sydney. As long as I don't have to call her "Little Moonbeam".

Okay this week's ep.... rant alert...

What the FUCK?

Immortals winning I can understand, but this may be my ancestry talking but there is NO FUCKING WAY that it should have been a blowout.

How the fuck did the chariot scythe- which was deemed an incapacitory weapon, and the show is notorious for such weapons getting little to no kills- get over ONE HUNDRED FUCKING KILLS when the Celtic club, which WAS a one-hit instant-killer, got FUCKING FOURTEEN KILLS? Is the fucking computer program using World of Darkness rules where blunt force is half as effective as bladed weapons that do the same damage?

Moreover why wasn't the Perisan spear tested against the belly armor? Or the arrows for that matter? I think the Lancea would have went through Persian armor, and if not would have certainly knocked the Persian on his ass, but I question if the Persian spear would work against belly armor... and the arrows probably wouldn't have either.

The fight scene was okay except with one glaring logical flaw. Why did the Celt pick up his Lancea after the first throw, only to toss it aside. YOU PICKED IT BACK UP, FOR MORRIGAN'S SAKE FUCKING USE IT YOU IDIOT!

This HAD to have been seriously fudged, to make the Spartans look better ("Hey, these guys got an insane kill ratio, and it took TEN THOUSAND of them to beat the three hundred Spartans! AREN'T SPARTANS AWESOME?!").

KGB vs CIA next, at least we'll get to see some awesome unconventional weaponry... SUITCASE GUN!

After that though what's next? Sun Tzu vs Vlad is the only thing left right?

Well she does stitch a smiley face on you afterward.

She wanted me to walk over landmines and expose myself to radiation.

And I was expected to do this.

Well... you could try to talk her into giving up on the book.

You don't get the survivalist perk or the other benefits; instead there's a discount from her, she gets a higher Repair skill, you get a heap of negative karma, and you get a pretty useless perk.

And she starts to go emo.

I don't think you even need a good Speech rating to do it.

Because it's Interplay. They are an evil, abyss of a company. Worse then Bethesda by far. Worse then EA at times as well.

He's right you know. They made Earthworm Jim 3D.

EDIT- Also, am I the only one that liked Moira Brown? Sure she was overly peppy, but the fact that she wouldn't seem fazed by anything you did short of trying to actively kill her made her one of my favorite characters.

Next you guys are going to tell me you all hate Crazy Wolfgang too...

That one isn't too hard to get. Just hold out in the fort in the south-western part of the map (In Mexico, I forget the name of it) and shoot them coming through one of the doors that ring the fort.

The one with the cannons? Yeah, there's a gatling gun by one of the gates you can use, and the other gate has a nice spot with a cannon and a canyon side limiting the Mexican Army's routes to you.

Best if you do it with a posse though, so you have at least one man on both gates.

Just got the game myself and a bunch of buddies of mine did exactly that Saturday night. Didn't get the trophy though, guess I didn't wait long enough.

What's really cool for me in singleplayer, though you guys probably figured it out by now... in Armadillo, I jumped off the saloon balcony, and ended up ON MY HORSE.

Too bad it was to answer a duel so I didn't need my horse...

Hey, if this game features chokeslams featuring a 30 foot leap in the air, I'm all for it.

No love for Pokey The Penguin?

I am a huge Demitri Martin mark.

"I agree with rock paper scissors... two-thirds. Rock breaks scissors... these scissors are broken I can't cut anything with these. Scissors cuts paper.... this paper is destroyed I have confetti now, I got nothing. Paper covers rock... rock's fine! No structural damage to rock! It should be rock... dynamite with a cuttable wick... scissors."

I don't care about the keyboard.

However, Bohemian Rhapsody in Rock Band? DO WANT.

Hopefully they'll give us We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions (as in, both songs back to back, as they're meant to be), and possibly The Bicycle Song and/or Ogre Battle.

Also hoping they'll throw us death metal fans another bone. Hammer Smashed Face is not enough!

I'd have to go with "I Hate Love Songs" by GWAR for now, but it could also be "Blind and Gagged" by Six Feet Under.

Is it just me or is the Rock about to pull some Kinnikuman shit on Cena there?

Tonight's ep.

LOVED the fight scene, probably the best one this season. Tricked me into thinking the car bomb would be the finish.

This was also one of the few episodes where I genuinely thought either side could win; on one hand the Somalians clearly had the better firearms (and anyone who doubts the accuracy of the AK-47 should see this episode. He may have missed like two or three rounds if that) but the car bomb... man, that could have been a win button on the level of the Shaolin twin hooks. The potential killzone for that thing was just insane... their demo was, what, 40 pounds of TNT right? Could you imagine if they factored in the potential 1,100 that they talked about? CLICK... DOOMSDAY.

Also the grappling hook was an interesting weapon. You'd never really think that a grappling hook could cause that much trauma until you actually see it happen... but I still think the machete was the better melee weapon because well... it was the simpler and more straightforward one.

I occassionally get a breif pause in gameplay... like a second maybe... for my PS3 version of UFC.

The only game that really gets laggy for me offline on my PS3 is Fallout 3. Occassionally it will freeze up during VATS sequences in the wasteland. So I've made it a point to autosave fairly often while roaming.

Sometimes though I have to do a total reset in The Pitt or Point Lookout though. Point Lookout isn't that bad, though, except when you're heading to the hotel.

Good strategy against a take down artist is to fight with your back towards the cage, and hold the right stick backwards when he presses you up against it. Won't always save you, but sometimes you'll be able to get him in a sprawl position and do some damage.

I'm playing as a LHW now, with a European named Ivan "Drago" Wagner.

Heeling it up with him too. Sadly no option to say "If he dies, he dies".

Some of the disrespect dilouge options are mild, but some are just not that disrespectful. Saying you plan on being champion for a long time is disrespectful?

Interestingly enough, I've gotten maybe one 'let's look at this cut' since installing the game, that was when I was first doing career mode. Despite giving wounds that close eyes since then, the refs haven't stepped in since.

You can only do that when they're on the fence though. And you can do it with punches too.
