Wait? People still play this? The most shocking thing about this video may be the fact thatSecond Lifeis still apparently a thing. I mean, it’s 2015 and there are plenty of other creepy hamlets of the Internet to get your fuck on. Why are there still people messing withSecond Life? Oh well, to each his or her own. So long as the “game” can continue to give us golden turd nuggets like this exchange caught on video, then I guessSecond Liferemains relevant … at least for us....

Ever since then, I’ve picked up everyStreet Fightergame brought to the home market (with afew exceptions) on the day they’ve been released, but with the release ofStreet Fighter IV, that long tradition has finally been broken....

I got a quick lookTekken Tag Tournament2 on the Wii U and it looked like… Tekken Tag Tournament 2. With that established, I went hunting for news! There was no confirmation that the game would support a dedicated “off-TV” mode to free the TV for other uses.
