    The funny thing is I had recently watched a video of video games coming to the Xbox One in 2017. Scalebound was one of the games mentioned in the video and I remember thinking "Wow, that actually looks pretty cool." Of course, I would find out a week later that it had been canceled. I'll be honest, I don't think I had ever seen that tech demo that was shown at E3 2014 until recently. In fact, I had pretty much forgotten the game existed until I realized it was actually suppose to come out this year. I can't help but think this game was going to be one of the biggest games coming out for the One this year. Halo Wars 2, Crackdown 3, State of Decay 2, and Sea of Thieves are also coming out this year, but none of those games seem to be quite on the scale(no pun-intended) that Scalebound was on. Honestly, Microsoft's lineup of exclusives looks pretty dismal this year in comparison to Sony's. I honestly thought Microsoft had some momentum going into this year because of Scorpio. It's too bad because I think Scalebound would have been an amazing game to showcase the power of the Scorpio. Here's hoping that they have something more up their sleeves this year other than the games we already know are coming. Regardless of how people personally felt about the game, l think it was a big loss for Microsoft. As a gamer, we want their to be as many games as possible released for our consoles. Losing a game is always a bad thing, especially when it is a big game like Scalebound. I don't think this is the end for Microsoft, but I'm hoping this doesn't become a trend for them.

    Street Fighter V Akuma

    By joanro,

    I don't play Akuma, but I am still hyped for this. I'm curious as to who the other five characters are going to be. Starting from the left, the first one looks like it could possibly be Helen who we see in the story mode. The second one, looks like it might be Abel. After that, I have no idea who the last three could be.

    Bronies

    By joanro,

    A member of the forum posted this topic on the forum and I thought it would be fun to respond to this.

    You could listen to it if you want, but I'm just going to respond to some of the things they said.
     
    Okay, so first things first, one of the men on the show immediately assumes bronies like the show for sexual reasons which I guess is not entirely inaccurate(yes, I am looking at you cloppers...I'm totally kidding...I'm not judging any one). I wouldn't say that every person who is a brony is a clopper, obviously. If I were to draw comparisons to the anime community I would see that as being the "ecchi" part of the brony fandom. The perverted anime fans who like boobs and panty shots of which I do not associate with...I'm kidding, of course.
     
    I think it was wrong of them to judge someone on based solely liking MLP. However, I don't think the people who called in talking about bronies they knew necessarily helped changed their opinion of bronies. It seemed like the two men on the talk show were somehow threatened by the idea of men liking MLP. I sort of feel like masculinity and gender roles are toxic. I think it just sucks that we are sort of slaves to it. I think it is people's own insecurities that dictate how they view someone. Anything that does not fit their definition of what a man should be is immediately thought of as strange or weird.
     
    Gonna dial it back a bit...

    I just finished playing a session of Street Fighter V a little awhile. The first person I ran into was a Ryu and he ragequit on me when I won the match. Not the best way to start. I really wish they would address the RQing with a better solution. I haven't ran into many ragequitters(I think this one would be number 7 for me). I've been playing the game since March, so I don't think that number is too bad. Anyway, it sucks that people do that.
     
    Another pet peeve of mine is when people don't offer you a rematch after winning one match(especially if the person lost a round during the match). Unless you perfect a person both rounds and completely destroyed them, there is really no reason to not offer them a rematch. I almost always offer the person a rematch if they lose the first one. I'm not too concerned about points. I just want to learn the match ups against different characters. For example, I'm not very good against grapplers like Laura and R. Mika, but I don't avoid those characters. You can't get better if you avoid the characters you don't like fighting against.
     
    Honestly, I do not know if I am ever going to get out of Super/Ultra Silver. I reached Gold today, but I immediately lost it in a rematch. I feel like most people who are Gold ranked are on another level than I am. I feel like I play like garbage sometimes though. I miss anti-airs or get crossed up by jump ins. I think my execution can also use some work. I have a hard time DPing on reaction or using my Critical Art. It amazes me how some people do it so easily. For example, V-Trigger Spiral Arrow into CA. Anyway, just my thoughts on SFV.
