Dan and I were discussing the upcoming Street Fighter game over Google Talk while I searched for Sagat cosplay images on Google (this is what we do when we get bored). Most of the images I found had nothing to do with Sagat, including the image you see above, which Dan informed me was Kylie Minogue.
Dan then went on to explain who she was and asked me if I had ever seen her lingerie commercial. I had not, so he kindly referred me to its Youtube video counterpart - which we have decided to share with you in our very first edition of "Ripten After Dark". This would not be considered "safe for work" content, however the weekend approaches, and most of us who work in front of a computer for a living don't work weekends.
To those who say this has nothing to do with videogames, you are wrong! Dan also informed me that she played Cammy in the Street Fighter movie - which means this is very relevant. Hit the jump for the video.
GB: "We take a look at 15 amazing games that had the perfect length."
Pretty good list. Botany Manor would be the newest addition that encapsulates that title.

There are different games. Some have gamplay at it highest priority, some have the story, some have the replay value and choices... There are a lot of different game experiences.
It is laughable that just now graphics does not have anything to do with that experiene. We have had many games of that type over time. This is just the one that have come closest to feel like playing an actual movie. Just look the the Digital foundry walkthrough it is a masterpiece in that perspective and hence wrth trying. But yes do not do it for the gameplay - but that was never the goal of this experience.
They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!
Oh... em... gee... That was the best Street Fighter video I have ever seen!!!!
I don't expect a lot of comments on this side... What's there not to love?
Strangely enough, now I want to see a new Street Fighter movie.
What? He doesn't know who Kylie is?
This might be a broad generalization and I know its not completely true, even as I say it, but Americans are just all about America aren't they. They live in a bit of a fishbowl, insulated from the rest of the world, or so it appears to me.
Hey, I mean no offense by that, it just an obsevation, but I'll duck and cover now in preparation for the onslaught.
She has a nice ass.
