the 4th incarnation of the covenanted soul calibur series (yes 4th, the first game had a different name), and it brings the series back for it’s last entry before next generation. Soul Calibur 3 doesn’t change much of the formula, but when the formula is as good as this one, there isn’t a need to change much.  the three new characters all seem pretty interesting, Tira is a character i’d like to get a lot better with because i think once i figured her out she’d match my style of play pretty nice, Zasalamel seems a bit overpowered, he seems to be a fast version of nightmare, with more moves that are difficult to block, and Setsuka seems pretty cool, but just not my style.  I was very glad to see that Seung Mina had returned (although she now has a dash in her surname (Mi-Na)), she was my favorite character in the old soul edge/blade game and in Soul Calibur 2 they really missed the mark by making her a rehash of Kilik.  for now that’s all i’ve got to say on the subject, so go and enjoy another brilliant Soul Calibur game.

there is another update to my comic widget, this is mostly a maintence update, but there have a been a few updates to the code to help make it more readable and maybe a little faster

PS: one question you may be asking at this point is, since I’m a mac user, if and when i’m going to port my widget over to dashboard or konfabulator (now yahoo widgets engine or some none-sense like that), well the short answer is don’t expect it anytime soon, the existing widget is written entirely in vbscript (which doesn’t exist on the mac), so the whole thing will have to be re-written from scratch (which may be a good thing :D), since to the date of me writing this, there is no comprehensive widget that does what this one does, i do hope to port it over, but with things the way they are now, nothing happens fast
