When I was a kid in like 1998 I played this side Scrolling Beat em up game. I don't remember much about it. Unfortunately I do not remember if the player characters used swords or guns but I think they used guns.

What I do know is player 1 was a guy, player 2 was a girl. The second world or mission was a western themed world that I believe took place at least partly on a train. The first world I don't remember as well but I think it was just in a city.

I know I played it on SNES but I'm not sure if it was on other consoles too.

I will add anything else if I can think of it.

I've seen posters mention and even Iain Abernathys note that there is a noticeable difference in style between practitioners of shuri te styles and naha te styles. I am curious what is that stylistic difference?

Is naha te more circular and shuri te more hard? I know shorin Ryu has the diagonal fist but that doesn't really strike me as a big style difference just a fun piece of trivia.

Looking at the kata of goju Ryu and shorin Ryu I don't think I would be able to tell which came from which if I didn't know all the goju Ryu kata. I guess shorin doesn't have anything quite like sanchin or tensho?

It is an important question to me as when the pandemic is over I will have access to a pretty

In school (Ontario, Canada) this book was an assigned read in the late 90s early 2000s. It kind of reminded me of Hatchet which was also assigned but wasn't anything like it aside from the focus on one character kind of in the wilderness.

I believe the main character was some kind of indigenous islander. I remember there was some kind of scene near the end with him and a shark in a confrontation of sorts and I'm not sure if he kills the shark or simply wounds it badly by stabbing it with his knife (which had some sort of plot significance). I remember the writer noted how the Character timed the attack of the shark, so as to move out of the way at the last moment and plunge his knife in as

Everything I read and watch says you should do most of your training in a low heart rate zone 3 or under. When I was following no specific plan I would just do 20 to 30 minute runs as quick as I could once or twice a week but looking at the results from those runs now I was pretty much in the 4 to 5 zone the entire time every single run.

So now I run as slow as I possibly can and have done the last dozen runs or so but my heartrate never gets lower than zone 3? I'm not sure how to get more time at heart rates in lower zones because even if I walk I am in zone 2. Should I just try to lose a lot of weight before I do any running?

When playing Tactics I couldn't help but feel that a multiplayer mode would have been really fun. It would have been balanced even on cross play because the gameplay is turn based.

I feel like it wouldn't have even taken that much more time to develop... They could have used campaign maps as MP maps.

The one issue might have been how characters level up might have made it unbalanced but they could have had a set of standard characters you could pick from for your team and it would have been really fun Imo.

Anyways what do you think?

The short answer for me is I am not. I'm out of a karate dojo at the moment but my judo dojo is closed so I am out of 2 dojos and have nowhere to train. I tried to pick up triathlon (well 2/3 of triathlon as pools were closed for a long time) but my diet has been bad so although I've been biking and running most weeks (not enough) I have gained quite a few pounds.

I know body weight training is good, but I don't like it very much, I will have to will myself back into it. I have been doing some hojo undo drills once in a while, as I have a couple home made chi ishi.

What's your routine for those who are Locked out?

This will be very contentious I am sure because of course everyone's sensei is super qualified but what I mean is I am having an incredibly difficult time finding classical Okinawa Karate instruction. I moved from a major Canadian city, where I had a good instructor who had trained up to 4th dan in Okinawa under a head instructor of an Okinawa Goju Ryu honbu.

Regardless, now I moved to a smaller Canadian city to another major Canadian city and the issue is the same. There seems to be literally no qualified Okinawan karate instructors at all.

I don't even have to stick with Goju Ryu I would do Shoirn or Uechi as long as they had decent instructors. Literally every dojo seems to be some kind

Ganryujima fights 7

Youtube started reccomending me these vids and they are really cool. Its similar to mma but the ground fighting lasts only 15 seconds, also they wear a sleeveless gi.

Anyways the first fight in this one is really cool its a judo fighter (with mma experience to be fair) vs a muay thai fighter.

Spoiler for the fight

Its crazy how even though thé rules favor the striker so highly the judo fighter is so easily able to take him down over and over again and win easily... Still the nuay thai fighter actually gets a knockdown in the fight (because the ref stood them up, he had no chance of getting up by himself).

Its cool because I thought 'style vs style' fight s were done

A new Perfect Dark is not guaranteed by any means, but of Rare's properties it does seem like the most likely game to be made next and there are rumors of MS's new AAA studio 'The Initiative' working on the franchise. Whether or not this is true I cannot comment as I do not know.

Regardless since there are PD fans here I am curious how you would prefer the new game to be. So answer the poll and if the answer is other please give a description!

As for me I actually don't care too much if it is a FPS or a TPS but I hope it delves into the worlds sci fi setting more, brings back classic weapons and stars Joanna Dark. My main hope is that it has the open ended mission structure of the original

My question is basically the title. Looked up on a few databases but didn't see much.

I'm almost 30 and have PKU of course, curious if there is any research to see how it affects elderly patients. Is there an advanced risk of dementia/Alzheimer etc?

Will life insurance be more expensive for me?

Just curious as I get older if there will be more effects, currently my PKU is quite well managed.

I'm trying to get better at programming and I've done some Python tutorials but I know everyone says to do projects so I have started doing some projects.

That said I have no interest in making apps or calculators or to-do-lists etc I just like making games so I've been using Pygame and am working on a game and its going pretty well...

But I've been wondering am i actually going to learn important programming skills by working on games or am I just going to learn the Pygame methods that nobody would ever have to use in the real world?

Also, unrelated question, if programming games is what I like to do, should I switch to C# and Unity, or is it okay to keep going at Pygame as a beginner an

I'm having trouble finding a dojo nearby that I like... I have a lot of requirements to be fair. I want a traditional dojo that is not afraid of contact, that has links to an okinawan master and that primarily trains goju kata and bunkai.

Needless to say there are none in my area that I can find (funny how you never appreciate what you have until its gone).

So I've decides to juat train myself for the time being. That said I am training BJJ, Judo and Muay thai (one time per week each) but for karate I think I have to go my own way for now.

I am an ikkyu (brown belt) in traditional Okinawan Goju Ryu and have been training it for around 7-8 years.

I have started a schedule of doing kata fo

What is your experience sparring other styles? How in your experience do participants of one style compare to those of another in their sparring style?

For example if you do muay thai have you sparred kyokushin fighters, krav maga people, taekwondo fighters etc... And how do they compare to each other and how you do things?
