New Streets of Rage in Japan released

Aeon Flux also scarred me as a child. I remember in one episode when Aeon perversely makes out with Trevor... totally blew my mind. And of course a few years later I was also really into it.

Haven't seen the Alexander one yet. I know Peter Chung did the character designs. Supposedly there is a new Aeon Flux animated series coming out too. Hopefully it is completely different from the movie.

If your a fan of Aeon Flux you should check out Alexander. Really great storyline. Cartoon Network used to have it for a while on adult swim long ago. How many episodes did Aeon Flux have anyway? Didn't it get its start on MTV?

[Nunzio]

Yeah, Aeon Flux was a series of shorts on MTV before they expanded it to a season of half hour episodes. The shorts are really good because Aeon always dies, which they sort of took out of the series. I think there were only like 9 episodes.

^ I forgot she always died at the end of each episode. That was a very cool idea.

It could apply to anyone; I just dislike some videogamer types' entitled attitude. Like they're owed something for bothering to play games in the first place.

GAMERS: We're sick of the constant trilogy cycles, 'episodic content', and lame copycat games that are plaguing the industry! We want fresh, original games with interesting concepts and compelling stories!

CAPCOM: *releases Mega Man 9, Street Fighter XXXVVII Double Plus Turbo XL Edition Remix*

GAMERS: OMG MUST BUY, GOTY 2008

~6 MONTHS LATER~

GAMERS: Creativity is dead! We're sick of unoriginal game concepts and endless sequel releases! We want fresh, original games with interesting concepts and compelling stories!

You get the idea.

(would anyone have bought MM9 if it had a more 'modern' look, with the same 'hahaha fuck you' difficulty?)

Elusive, I really like your attitude.

The individual gamer may *somewhat* know what he/she wants, but the gaming community as a whole doesn't have a clue. Half the time they want games to be exactly like the ones they grew up with, and the rest of the time they think games should be constantly evolving, with every sequel breathing life and innovation into the series in question.

It's incredibly frustrating to listen to or read someone complaining about something video game related, mainly because there is someone else complaining about just the opposite.

I can't imagine what it is like for developers.
