News of a new Street Fighter-based movie got the audiences and fans wondering how moviemakers will pull this off. Despite being a box office bomb, the very first Street Fighter movie (starred by Van Damme and Raul Julia) gained cult status. The plethora of well-known Street Fighter characters had their share of the spotlight, staying as close to the game’s description as possible. And who could forget Raul Julia’s Oscar-worthy portrayal of M.Bison? The Street Fighter genre returns to the silverscreen in the form of “The Legend of Chun-Li.” Will it live up to the hype?

Street Rep

Chun-Li’s supposed legend is the typical story filled with emotion and usury. As a child, Chun-Li wanted to be a piano player, but also loved learning tai chi from her dad. In a twist of events, she witnessed his father taken away by M.Bison. Strangely enough, no o

The season of spring is here at last! Spring marks an opportunity for new beginnings, and the anime lineup for this year is no exception! Some console games have begun their transition to their anime masterpieces, with top-notch work from their respective animation studios!

Here's a short list of the anime shows (plus a little review/preview) that have begun airing. 

Note: These short previews do not necessarily reflect the opinions of everyone in MMOsite. They are in no way equal to a review of the whole series.

Ever had the feeling that everyone hates you? It's no surprise, really. This feeling is especially true for bloggers, writers, critics. Internet writers get hundreds of bashings from the general anonymous (and not-so-anonynous) internet population, ranging from the simple "U SUCK" to a bit less indirect "F*** U." For instance, you can spend 48 straight hours playing some horrible excuse-for-an-MMO and give it the well-deserved crappy rating or verdict, only to find that everyone -- from gamers and developers, beta testers and other critics -- jumps down your throat. Then, you spend 48 more hours playing a game deserving of an astoundingly impressive review, and the people still hate you, call you a "WoW fag" and other bashings. Of worthy to note, other comments would even contest the size and virility of your genitalia just to prove how wrong or biased your judgment was.

How do we do it? How do we deal with this kind of hate, as a writer?
Well, this may also apply to every other critic or blogger out there, simple -- we eat, sleep, get drunk, play more games, and write drafts of our next articles or posts. A lot of times, honestly
