Bravo to 1Up for getting Capcom’s Yoshinori Ono, producer of the Street Fighter series, to reenact this gem from M. Bison’s hilariously awful dialogue in 1994′s Street Fighter: The Movie. He dropped by their offices last week to talk Street Fighter X Tekken. More »

Parkour Pioneer Cole Phelps Wants His Damn Hat Back

8:00AM May 26, 2011 | Owen Good

I forget at what point exactly but in L.A. Noire Cole Phelps remarks that his hat cost $US12. How much is that worth in 2011 money? Dunno, but it’s worth falling off a house a dozen times in 1947. More »
