Internet housekeeping

My main website presence is WetSprocket.net, which just forwards you to this page, wetsprocket.livejournal.com .  For now.  For a while it forwarded to wetsprocket.tumbler.com but I haven't really kept up with all that Tumblr can do.  I might get back to it eventually.

I spend too much time on
Facebook.  I read a lot of tweets on Twitter but every now and then I post something. The MySpace is about as updated as it ever was, even when it was more popular.

I have had an Amazon Seller account for a while but now I am going to make a big push to sell a lot of the old trades that have built up on my shelves over the past couple of presidents.  Formerly "fred8088", the store is now called
WetSprocket Books.  Currently there are some out-of-print manga and older Marvel books there but that's just for starters.  Located at www.amazon.com/shops/wetsprocketbooks

I am also selling some older PlayStation games on eBay, including King of Fighters titles and SquareSoft's "you-build-the-world" RPG Legend of Mana.  Expect to see more RPGs (some with official guides!) in the future. Located at http://shop.ebay.com/freddytigard/m.html


So that's pretty much all the places I cause trouble.

Being taken for a ride, once again.

G.I.R.

How did this happen? The crazy tag game that I only played b/c everyone else in the arcade was playing it is back in my life... but this time I'm enjoying it more. Still getting wailed on by the occasional Cable/Iceman/does-it-matter team but otherwise my main team is
  • Jin (anti-air) - I still find his moveset to be outstanding, even if they aren't always the best.  I find that I do better with chargers and Saotome Dynamite is a really great move to throw off someone's game.  Normal moves are like special moves although they leave pretty huge openings..
  • Guile (anti-air) - no-nonsense up-close smackdown.  Air Super's pretty useless unless opponent makes a mistake
  • Zangief (ground) - Mecha-Z dominates a lot more than he ought to be.  Sure he's unstoppable but he's a few Supers aways from death.  Regular SPD does INSANE damage, but you can't combo into like FAB
  • and sometimes I put Sakura in there, her Sho-Ou-Ken assist is really handy (plus I can't resist turning her into Sunburned Sakura and busting out proper Shinkuu Hadou-kens,

So far the verdict on my skills is that I am starting out strong but eventually I fall into traps as the night goes on.  Finding ways to counter ICE BEAM! ICE BEAM would help too.  Luckily I have the the PS2 version to practice with at home... and it's kinda awesome that I am looking at old FAQ's written by folks who used to post at the old Fighters.Net boards.  It's been almost 10 years since those days...

and no, I haven't played Tatsunoko yet.  Want to rent, first.

Mega Man 10 announced for WiiWare. More of what you got from 9 but better. You have the chance to get the powers of a ROBOT SHEEP.

So here's #1001... woo WOO woo

I recently finished the main game for both God of War II and Disgaea II. Next on the list, Tomb Raider AC and Ico.

I have been playing Third Strike in the arcade because someone GOOD AT IT plays there and IT ISN'T ME. So far Remy seems like the best fit for me since he is basically an improved Guile. I wanna be a Grappler but I need to practice more. Nothing as natural as playing Zangief in SF Turbo in the neighboring cabinet.

In the meantime, WOW HERE ARE SOME COMICS AND CD'S FER SALE
