It's much nice here and we're very glad to have you!  I'm annoyed with super left-wing politics.  As if the world runs on puppies and rainbows eh?

Yeah this place seems great it's like I'm actually allowed to have an opinion here!

Also here's something else that annoys me....a LOT of people assume I have connections to super cheap sources of playchoice rgb chips and / or av famicoms.  I bought all my gear back before I offered to build these systems.  After I started offering my service people started buying this stuff like rabid monkeys and the prices went really high.  I sold off any extra cheap parts a loooong time ago and I have no secret stash, and no secret connections to sweet deals.  The whole reason I tell clients to find their own rgb chip and av famicom in the wild is because I can no longer find this stuff for affordable prices myself.

If it weren't for taxes the world would be in chaos.....CHAOS I SAY!!!!!  Fire!

Hahahaha.  I tend to get angry when I play 2 player so I usually try to avoid it unless it's someone who doesn't take it super seriously in which case it becomes fun.  When I was a teenager I got my uncle to rage quit and pull his goldeneye 64 cart out of his n64 while they game was running....twice.....I think he was mad I spent a lot of time getting good at fps games as a teen and showed him how it was done

I understand that taxes are necessary, but they should take more taxes from those who can afford it and not from those who can't. (Targeting those with kids and leaving everything mostly unchanged for people without kids is the wrong way to go in my opinion.)

And this year consumption tax will rise, too probably...

I'll admit, very often I rage at Street Fighter, which is inevitable, being that my 2 favorite characters, E. Honda and T. Hawk, are two of the worst in the game. However, as much as unwinnable matchups might irritate me, never do I quit. I just take the beating, move on to my next match, and pray to whatever is up in the sky that my next opponent doesn't pick Guile.

Nightstar - I used to love it when that happened in endless mode!
I used to tear up double perfects with my 5BP Hawk Tongue

I let my XBL membership fade after all of the security issues though, so I only play offline now Sad

Yes that 5% consumption tax in Japan must be a REEEAAALLLL burden.  Cheesy Try 25% like we have it here Wink

Sure money comes around and goes around... but it makes it hard for a merchant business to compete with individuals or those that are less serious... And it encourages cheating, obviously, since few business happily pay 25% for every nickel if they find a way to get away with it.  Cheesy Technically I couldn't even give people stuff for free without paying 25% of the estimated value to taxes  Cry It sucks to have a small business here.... IMO, it's necessary to find the best way to avoid accounting and not getting caught...

Much respect, Hawk is a character who requires much knowledge of matchups. I currently have 12,000 BP with Hawk, 11,000 BP with Honda, 5,000 with Blanka. (Yeah, I know, I play way too much  Gamer )

Ah well, offline play is vastly superior anyway. Hopefully you get another membership in the future, so we can have some lagfest bouts.
