This Stolen Pixels is about Dead or Alive 4. Well, it’s more about fighting games in general than about DOA4 itself, but DOA4 is the vehicle.
I do not recommend this game unless you are a hardcore fan of online fighting. I might have a post about it later. The short version is: A large portion of the game is locked away from you at the start, and you need a double helping of skill and a tolerance for blatant CPU cheating if you want to get at any of it. I think I need to find a new franchise to get my Kung-Fu fix.

Crysis 2 has basically the same plot as Half-Life 2. So why is one a classic and the other simply obnoxious and tiresome?
Programming Vexations
Here is a 13 part series where I talk about programming games, programming languages, and programming problems.

Crash Dot Com
Back in 1999, I rode the dot-com bubble. Got rich. Worked hard. Went crazy. Turned poor. It was fun.
