Anyway, Aquasilk is perhaps one of the best Zangief players in Super Street Fighter 4. Though my connection started lagging, I think it was a decent showing on my part. The rest of the video, he is going through some interesting matches.

Last week, I matched this guy with my somewhat solid Ken. I say somewhat because he is very far from beast, but wait until next week and I’ll be uploading matches where people should’ve won, but they lost to me. There’s no flukes in SSF4, either you execute or you do not.

Every coin got two sides…on one hand….modesty…on the other….vanity.

Thoughts while I’m working on Loose Ends III. I said that I was not gong to bring it back, but some things need to be written. Rhymes need to be rhymed, so I’m gonna take the time to bring Loose Ends back.

The gist of it is a lot of anger and rage behind the lyrics, the writing, and verses. It is me truly using poetry and rap as a release. I know lately my words have twisted and turned in a different direction, speaking FROM emotion instead of ABOUT emotion. It is a new approach to rhyming, especially since half of it is behind instrumentals these days. The beats drive the thoughts, so I think, I write, and rhyme.

Loose Ends III coming on 4/20/12

Getting a routine is easy, but sticking to it is the punch line. Trying to stay zoned in for an hour is a drag!

I find myself to be the type of guy who will do what it takes to keep a routine going. Even if it means being in the gym late at night or running on a treadmill while watching Monday Night Raw.

Here are a few things to help for motivation.

• Prep food early. If you ain’t eating, you’re preparing food.
• LOG EVERYTHING!
• Only check weight once a week. Otherwise, you will get depressed.
• Water is your friend. CHUG THAT SHIT!
• The loss of fast food will make you feel a bit weird at first, but once it fades, you’ll feel better.

Got any more tips? Feel free to post them in the comments.

For the final spiel, I want to dwell into what made me real as a gamer. When I was a kid, it was all I had. No siblings, so all I had was a control stick ready to be dominated. I basically bust my ass when it comes to every game, no sandbagging, and I play every game like it is my last. It is a contradiction to my Part II spiel, but it is true.

I do everything from watch film, train, practice, compete in clan matches, read strategy forums, even getting trained by great players in certain games. I do time-attacks in adventure games for fun, play action-adventure games on the hardest difficulty, compete in the major and minor RTS games, and working on spanking the sports genre.

I believe in trial by fire. If you’re new to the game, get thrown to the wolves! Do NOT go after similar sheep since it will give you false confidence. Knock the best mofo off his or her perch. Establish yourself by kicking major ass, not playing in the minor leagues.

So, are you REALLY a gamer?!

I know I am

Current Abilities

I don’t consider myself one of the best in the world, but a lot of rankings show different, at least in North America. Making even top 1000 demonstrates miles of playing ability and potential. I’m found at the top of the fighting genre, middle of the FPS, and top 100 in the action/adventure realm. I’m more or less the casual/competitive instead of 100% competitive. It is probably because I do not spend hours upon hours practicing and dedicating my livelihood to it. It puts a hamper on talent, but my life is most important.

My limit is the sports genre though. If I could be as effective in Madden, etc as I am elsewhere, I would be a great all-around gamer. I’m close to being all-around, being proficient in every genre. Sports is my only limitation.

WHAT TYPE OF GAMER ARE YOU?!

I, like many others, am a gamer. There is a distinct difference between me and my friends because of one aspect: Gaming is my necessity.

I need the controller because of how it makes me feel. It establishes me as a competitor in the world where people spend their entire lives, hours and hours of practice. I prove that yes, you can live a life and still be a good gamer at the same time. As a kid, it made me not feel alone since I was an only child. To this day, I immerse myself in it for competition. Sure, there are many out there better, but most of them I overcame with an extra hour or two for dedication.

WHY ARE YOU A GAMER????   -L.E.

I remember in 1998, I’m flipping through the channels and I found wrestling for the first time. Of course, two people stood out: The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Austin became my all-time favorite, but The Rock…he became an inspiration.

There was a time that tears of sorrow were shed….of sadness, of anger, and of depression. Though wrestling is scripted (not fake), the characters appeal to a person, not as heroes, but as people. If people could be great on a consistent basis, EVERY WWE/TNA Superstar would have been a top champion. So many wrestle for that dream, but so many fail. Those few have reached higher than they ever dreamed. To have that attitude that there is no one better and that if there is a #1 spot in the world to fight tooth and nail for it.

My three purposes in life were: To make God proud, and to make my family and myself proud. Perhaps, I lost sight of the one that I had to make myself proud. Honestly, I’m not. Honestly, if the person I am now could up and croak, I would know exactly who I would want to replace him. If life would end now, I would regret it because I know at this point in my life how to correct it. The only thing I wish is that those who believe in correcting MY life would stop believing that they could. The adjustments are mine and mine alone to make. What will happen, however, will truly hurt a lot of people because of what I change.

When I walk outside the door of my home, everything sheds off me. The burdens, the pains, the sadness, the emotions, and will be replaced with what I believe will benefit me in the long run. If there is an adjustment that needs to be made, then I will make it. But if there’s one thing I know….you can’t exactly cover up shit and make it not have an odor. The shit has to go!
