I think its probably an annoying feature on the surface to non-competitive gamers, but once you get a group of excelent tekken players in a room, who are tournament calibur and know what they are doing, the effectiveness of grappling becomes much more an artform of playing the game, rather than a cheap tactic.
SSBM USA/JaP versions have chain throwing as Marsh/Shiek, a lot of people consider it rather unfair.
It was sort of like this for me, except that I realized I was just watching a movie but I held down the X button and moved the thumbstick around for 10 hours. Waste-of-time.
I can't say I'd group chuck pahalnuk outside of most shock writers, He's ok in general, but some of it is either poorly written or just written seemingly for the intrinsic value of being weird. I've only read three or so books by him though.
SH5 is a completely amazing book in every regard however. I absolutely adore it.
Just curious to see if anyone has read things that are on more of a college level/adult level of liturature and what you thought of them. I'm talking about writers like Kurt Vonnegut, Haruki Murakami, Thomas Pynchon, Walt Whitman, Ayn Rand, Hemmingway, Kafka and soforth.
This excludes such lovely modern books such as Twilight, Harry Potter, or anything you can buy on the shelves at a wal-mart.
I personally just finished The Trial by Kafka for the 2nd time and I really enjoyed the 2nd go through it more than the first. I've found that to be a trend with his writing.
