Which you shouldn't. It's great and the price is low enough that getting it via a deal is REALLY GOOD. I got mine for, like, five bucks thanks to Best Buy.

on the official halo website there's a huge write-up on all the intended costumes for Arbiter

it's basically every elite outfit ever.
 
We'll be getting a ton of info about Killer Instinct on tuesday, so it's very exciting to hear what is coming up soon.
 
Should we assume/predict full Tusk reveal and maybe some PC news?
 
I'm sure they'll talk about season 3, but I doubt we'll see tusk stuff.
 
it's strange looking at the camera angles for tusk's into. it's.... pretty static. I HOPE that this gets changed or else it'll stick out like a sore thumb.

edit: oh....... ohmygosh.... tusk is a monster. oh gosh... no words on his damage and his deflect stuff. instinct looks to be really good too. i can easily see a tusk doing 90% combo with an optimized two shadow and an instinct cancel combo.

dude he's left handed, and that's the proper stance to have when holding a Buster Blade on the left side. It would be just awkward as hell to be holding the blade in your left hand but have it crossing over to your right side so you can be standing with your face to the camera.

Time to get some... uh... what do you get at Arby's? I've never been to the place so I wouldn't know... Uh... Meat... Stake... Burger... Fries...? :I

They serve sandwiches and stuff.

Tusk looks godly though. If I ever get a chance to get into KI I'm goin to him
 
Arby in my mind is very... uh.... complex? maybe a tad too complex... He has a ton of little moves that affect Arby's playstyle. The shadow OverShield... the carbine's limited ammo... his instinct parry... there's a crap ton here and personally... i think it might just be a little much for the standard player trying to play him online....

eh i mean using his resources makes him good, like really really good, but in the end he needs to be atleast using the plasma grenades and his overshield at all times to make sure he can keep the pressure up. The carbine... it's a good zone tool and might be a good juggle tool if someone figures out how to use it in a combo sorta like... uh... tk j.hk sorta stuff you know?
 
sorry it's a double bubble post. You can all kill me over it if you like but guess what? I don't care. Fuck the police.

in other news Tusk looks kinda silly in the beginning of his victory animation.

Uh hey... Tusk, baby... one of your eyes is going lopsided and uh... blind there, you know just a tad... I mean you can expect that from a guy who is like thousands of years old... right?

also you look like you're taking a hard shit. Man don't do that in the freezing cold... it's harder if it's frozen... geeze... you really are a barbarian.

I haven't laughed this hard since I saw Hot Ryu and Ken reenacting R.Mika's winpose
 
i was just lucky that i paused the video at just the right time.

also the sub-title just seals the deal for me.
 
Tusk looks amazing. My first thought was that he looks way too strong, but then I know nothing about how KI characters are balanced. Arby is cute. I don't think Arby is too complex. I mean all those little things are his specials moves right? It's not like hes got like 9 of them all very different. I do like how he has all these weapons.
 
Rash's ultra made me almost cry tears of joy



IT'S SO BYOUTEFUYL

His dynamic theme is gonna kick ASS

Still odd he didn't get a stage...

STAGGER ENDER... Aka: WallSplat Ender only it's at mid screen.

Tusk looks to be a ton of fun. Slow and kinda Heavy, but still very fun looking.

Rumor has it he can deflect combo breakers.... WELP

His Stage is fucking metal dude. I love it.

They said that Tusks deflect property actually deflected a combo breaker once while testing him.

Also I said I think. I don't know if it's actually him haha.
 
Okay, so I have a bit of a dilemma.


So, the date of which I was born into this world is coming up, and I was wanting to ask my ever so gracious mother for a PC or something related to one, as the laptop one of my friends may or may not be selling me for a cheap price has an under-achieving driver. (http://www.cnet.com/products/dell-i...-64-bit-4-gb-ram-500-gb-hdd-english-us/specs/ Specs for anyone interested, as I'm not good with computers so I don't know what is and isn't bad) As you can see (if you have seen the specs required to run KI), everything except the driver as far as I know/ was told would work.

This isn't that bad considering I was mainly wanting to play indie games such as Super Meat Boy, AVGN Adventures, Lethal League, almost every game cameo-featured in Runbow, etc., but Killer Instinct is a game I've been hyped for for a while as evidenced by this topic.

So like, I was looking at Alienware Alphas since they run Windows 10 and can be found under $600, but apparently they can only run STEAM games in Gaming Mode despite running on Windows 10, and KI is bought through the retarded Microsoft App Store and not Steam.

So does anyone know of maybe a basic-ish PC that would be able to do some basic things along with playing KI and equal/under games at a decent price?

I apologize for the wall of text, but I want to play KI so bad, and shelling out $500+ for an Xbox One for only two games (KI, Rare Replay) when I have many Steam games my current crappy PC can't play would just be idiotic.
 
I wouldn't recommend the Alienware Alpha, there are different specs for each version and there is no guarantee that it will be worth holding on to in the next couple of years. Most regular PC's from Alienware are good, but I would suggest that you check into the recommended requirements of the game and match it up to a PC that best fits those requirements.

It takes some research, but it is well worth the effort to have a PC that can run games for the next 5-6 years.

Jeez that picture is unnecessarily large... Anyway, here are the confirmed Specs for the game.

It's not that it even has to be an Alienware, and as far as I know Alienware PCs cost like $800+ when I'm looking for something $600- if that's even a possibility.

Locking your games to an OS and your own crappy App Store when Steam can provide you with everything you need is a dumb business move imo. I know Steam has a somewhat monopoly on PC gaming basically at the moment, but they aren't abusing it or anything.
 
if you're looking for a PC that's under 600 dollars I would just suggest making your own. Getting a PC frame and all the parts for it isn't hard and it's much cheeper than getting a pre-built one. If you're on the East Coast I suggest looking at NewEgg they have good deals on electronics.
