⇒ M. S. F.

the title? that's my overall 3rd strike grade today. That's right. Today, I may have fulfilled my 3rd strike destiny: M.S.F. grade! Wtf?!? I've only ever gotten it once before, and that was with system direction (I can't remember who I used for it, either, it was years ago). Today? No system direction, no cheats, just me, Q, the arcade stick and 11 8-star opponents (including Q).

Thrashed many, as their computer attack patterns have become familiar to me, and for 6 battles, received a minimum grade of SS+. True, this is not as high as the XS+++ I got yesterday, or the 5 consecutive-perfect-rounds from opponent 3-5, but nevertheless, my performance was outstanding. I avoided battling Hugo today, since yesterday he showed me Q's most exploitable flaw: low-throw priority. Yeah, that bastard showed it to me 4 times! Well, in my defense, today I obliterated Akuma, Ryu, Q, Urien and Gill.

Q reigns suprme! Total score: 6,26X,XX0. All right! A new record!

I didn't even lose a round!
That beats the old score by almost 2,000,000 points! Just remember, you need high average grade, no continues, about 3,000,000 points when you beat Gill to get a jackpot of bonus points. Using a super finish AND winning rounds perfect, and getting excellent and 20/20 on the bonus rounds also helps.

Other goals to accomplish in 3rd strike? The Dudley juggle, the Makoto dizzy combo, the Yun-Genei-Jin super juggle, the Necro corner elbow-juggle and the charge partitioning fun with Remy, Urien and Q.

Lastly, in the interest of mixing things up and keeping things fresh: I'd like to see Twelve, Oro, Hugo and Makoto in the top 5 scores, probably in that order...maybe Hugo with top grade: M.S.F. against Gill!

this doesn't mean I'm going to stop 3rd-striking!

...it's third strike yo, street fighter 3!

⇒ digicams!

I swear I'll have an awesome DSLR before the year's out (likely before I go overseas). Also I swear to have worked and earned money as a professional photographer at some point in life.

Microsoft surface rant: the problem is you have to buy a whole table to use it. Why not develop compact (and above all, reliable) hardware and adaptable software (err, from Microsh!t...?) so that it's more like placing a large, thick book down or moving it around than lugging an entire coffee table around. And what if you already have a coffee table? Will coffee mugs and beans become add-on sales items for Microsh!t?

PS3: Here's an idea that would've been successful (those fools should hire me for their marketing dept., instead of that this is living bs): They should've launched with the following 2 SKUs:
the current 60GB version (not for the still ridiculous price, mind you, and with an 80GB drive) with all the Blu-Ray, HDMI, Hi-def crap that Sony's currently forcing down our throats; OR a 'games' only PS3, which removed Blu-Ray playback ability, and all the extra 'trimmings' such as wireless and use wired controllers to really drive the cost down so that it's on par with Wii, but kept everything else necessary to give full-hd gaming experience. Oh and f#ck the bundled hard drive let everyone:
a/ BYO hdd of ANY size (i.e. some of that 250GB 2.5" action)
b/ use USB storage or whatever flash memory came free with their camera/phone or old any pc hard-drive + USB enclosure = instant storage
I mean 60 GB ain't alot in this day and age. That's less than 3 Blu-Ray discs worth!

that's that
