So apparently Darth Vader and Yoda are going to be in Soul Calibur IV.
This makes me want to do many things; some good, some bad. It is a truly rare quandry. Part of me wants to cry for joy and giggle like a schoolgirl with a crush. Another part of me wants to leap from the tallest cliff in Indiana and embrace death. Still other parts of me argue over whether the PS3 or XBox 360 would be the platform on which to own this, considering the game will only feature one of these Jedi, and which one you get depends on which platform you own. For the curious, those who purchase the PS3 will be treated to the presence of Vader in their fighting game, whereas those of us with the 360 will be in the care of Yoda. Not possible, I'm sorry to say, to have both at the same time unless you own both systems and buy the game twice.
In other news, not a lot of writing got done this weekend. I'd normally lament that, however it was the weekend of my wife's birth. It was a weekend for her, and we spent it as such. Friday was dinner and hanging out with friends. Saturday we spent as she dictated; I performed any task and took her anywhere she liked without complaint or hesitation. (If you know me, you know that's a treat.) Sunday we spent with her mother and stepfather and then wandered around for a few hours looking for soap.
No, I'm not kidding. Her facial bar that she uses to keep her skin cleansed of blemishes ran down to the final sliver on Sunday morning, and when we went to Meijer to look for more they were out. This is the only stuff that works for Jess and she apparently feels just grody all day without having washed her face in it, so it was absolutely imperitive that we find her some. Problem is, we didn't. Meijer, Target, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, nobody had this antibacterial facial bar.
So, what do all 'net-savvy people do when they can't find something? We ordered it online. What will end up being a year's supply of this stuff cost us eighteen bucks, and free shipping ta boot. Hey, sold!
I've ordered many things online, from dinner to major appliances, but I've never been able to claim ordering soap until now. It's easier for me to recount what I *haven't* bought from an online store in the past; that list is actually smaller.

Well, it's evident why they made the choices they did. Yoda and Vader are two "inhuman" characters. You don't have to ape Mark Hamill or Ian McDiarmid.
Still, I think it's pure folly to separate the guest characters. So what if people only pitted Yoda against Vader. We're talking about a tired series anyway. The trouble with most fighting games is that they never evolve. In any way.
Soul Cal tries. Introducing customizable characters in III was interesting and fun. I read this feature will be returning. I'm going to bet some Jedi robes sneak into the wardrobe. Do not be surprised if one of the styles is lightsaber. Imagine that! The prospect is more alluring than any feeble guest.
In any case, I must thank you again for my weekend. It was much enjoyed and much needed, all elusive glycerin bars aside. ;)
