Aside from Vidgames, Patrick likes japanese animation, music and movies quite much.
Here's what you can't afford to miss (no specific order):
Anime: Gunbuster, Ranma 1/2 (1st TV series and 1994 OAV series), Tenchi Muyo!,
Video Girl Ai, Street Fighter II movie (of course!).
Music: the Cure, Ultravox, Public Image Limited, the Pixies, the Doors.
Cinema: Usual suspects, Hard boiled, Birdie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Braveheart.
Bonus: lots of people now think DragonBall Z is crap. It's like a kind of duty for
"intelligent" anime fans, and it's really one of the most stupid attitude I have seen.
The TV series might be a bit overdone, I agree (OK, it's a far much too long...) but the
OAVs often are very good eye-blasting action pieces of art. That's why I'll add:
"Metal Kura (100 000 metal wariors)" to my "can't miss" anime list.
Common moves |
Zero counter | Interupt speech | Patricks speeks when you're already speeking because he stupidly thinks what he has to say is REALLY much more inteligent than what you're saying. |
Taunt 1 | Vidgames taunt | "You play street fighter like shit". ^-^ | |
Taunt 2 | After a few games | "Ok, I wasn't playing at my best level, but you'll see when I get some sleep that you really play SF like shit." ^-^ |
|
Special moves |
Manual freeze |
Drop paddle, hit oponent, catch paddle |
A disturbing attack that opens oponent for a big combo! |
Garbage talk | all is cheap | Say that oponent really cheaps all the time (throws too much, combos to much, jumps too much, neck kicks, and even hits you!). |
|
Super combos |
Pad excuse | Complain | "The paddle (or joystick) is so old that even a fireball motion won't give a thing and two of the buttons work only when they want to. In these conditions, it's impossible to win a match." |
Side excuse | Complain | "Playing on this player side is really difficult. Without practice, I can't even do combos and neck kicks... And you think this is victory ?" |
