They did 3 episodes if a street fighter cartoon parody called Street Fighter: Fight for Nothing. You can tell they did it a while ago but it has some good spots

I'd rather kill them before they get to me, then if they do, just stylishly step out of the way.
Greatbows, man, the raddest.
See, now you're thinking better, I can enjoy a really awesome magnum or other kind of heavy pistol.I love Magnums. Particularly the "Elephant Killer"
When I played Counter Strike for years I usually went with either a Knife/Desert Eagle (No magnums sadly) combo or a Sniper Rifle/Desert Eagle combo.
Though sometimes I would enjoy a P90, Goldeneye taught me that P90's are amazing.
You could load them with Magnum bullets though.
That's the best way to put it I think.
We've known Woolie started watching Ippo for like a month or two now.

Absolutely. Greatbows are sick. Basically one man arbalests. I'm talkin normal bows are lame.

Magnums are the best, though they're usually my problem with shooters, because I come from the Resident Evil standpoint of them being the be all end all boss killler, then in actual competitive shooters, they're just kinda more guns. I'm awful at FPS', so that's probably a large part of it, but I want the magnum to be the best thing in the game but have limited-ass ammo.
That would probably do it.
I have never used bows in games ever. So i tried in inquisition and was boring.
Even in dragons crown i went with the Warrior and the dwarf. The only time i used a bow is in trine but only because i wanted to use her indiana jones whip/rope.
Definately my least used used weapon

Looked that up, I'm a sucker for any variation on a .45 / M1911

I'm the same, it depends on how it feels. It's gotta feel weighty enough.

I know. I loved the bow in skyrim, but i hate it in shit like far cry or crysis.

Oddly, you'd maybe like how Destiny does "Hand Cannons". Clips are like 3-6 bullets and do a ton of damage, but you still have a ton of reserve and it's still modern FPS formula
Backlog'd. I'll pick it up on a Steam sale.

The Desert Eagle in Counter Strike was usually an instant kill if you got a headshot on someone and still pretty hefty on the body shot, but it was slow, which is why I liked it, it was hard to really be effective with it, but a run of really precise shots meant you could down most of a team by yourself if you were lucky enough.
I agree, there's a balance to it, and if that balance is off, it just doesn't feel good to use
Skyrim was surprisingly good in that regard.
Skyrim's bow felt great, main problem being that it's still got that shitty skyrim combat.

Man, Skyrim is my first thought of doing it wrong. Too light. Though I hate the combat of that whole game so maybe that's what I'm thinking of.
Wow I just noticed Akihiko carries a knife with him lol. I really learn how to play as him in Ultimax, it looks so hype
You didn't even believe me until I showed you the way of PC RPG gaming rather than have you play on consoles.

Put it to you this way: a bow and arrow, or an assault rifle?

The shortest range with the strongest pressure.

This man know. The M1911 is my favorite pistol. The design is just so sleek.

I really enjoyed using the bow in Tomb Raider. Both in single player and multi player

So good. Something about it man.
That bow is goddamn great. I used it as much as possible.

I guess that's just preference then.
I know. Playing Skyrim on console is so shit by comparison.

Assault Rifle gives you more chances to be accurate and not miss.
A bow gives you one chance and they are wildly inaccurate.

Dragons Dogma is my go to for how to do it wrong.
Listening to the podcast atm. I'm confused with Liam's complaint about the camera control in STEAM. He does know that the touch screen can be used for camera control, right? I agree that using the buttons for the camera is clunky, that's why I stopped using them. And since this isn't as intense of a game as, say, Uprising, there shouldn't be any severe wrist problems.
Also I was super confused when he said that Neptunia Re:Birth was $3 on Steam??? I checked now and it's $15. Maybe I heard him wrong...
I also don't want this to replace Advance Wars, man. Every time I think he can't jump any more guns he jumps like 5 more.

Single hit kills are so much better
He said Pat should pick it up for $3

My instinct is to always strive to be as effective as possible while using as least as possible.
Using the bow is an artform, you've got to be the arrow.
