AVM|GamerBee, DIG|Ryan Hart, and pH|HooDaMan Featured in Capcom Fighters’ Latest Player Spotlights

The folks at Capcom Fighters recently released three more player spotlight interviews in their running series designed to help fans of fighting games learn a little more about the scene’s biggest names before Capcom Cup this December.

This batch boasts interviews with AVerMedia’s Bruce “GamerBee” Hsiang, Ryan “Prodigal Son” Hart of Team Dignitas, and Pandora House’s Hooman “HooDaMan” Ghahremani. As in the past, these players discuss their fighting background, greatest achievements, most painful losses.

Perhaps the most inspiring segment of these interviews comes when GamerBee shows just how important “community” is within the fighting game community. He discusses at length his first trip to Evo back in 2010 when he made it to the top eight, which just so happened to be his ultimate goal. He goes on to reminisce about his return home to Taiwan when a large group of his friends and fellow players gathered to offer him a well-deserved warm welcome.

To learn more about these players, check out the videos below and provide your thoughts in the comments.

General: State of the Game: People Still Play That?

State of the Game: People Still Play That?

One issue that’s near and dear to my heart is that of dedication to an MMO and MMO community. I wrote about loyalty a few weeks ago, and this goes hand-in-hand with that, but from a different angle. I have a five-stage period I go through when any new game launches. You might be able to relate.

World of Warcraft: Ten Reasons to Look Forward to WoD

Ten Reasons to Look Forward to WoD

I’m not really sure what sparked me to create a list for this week’s column. It probably had to do with all the David Letterman I watched last week, which is something I also never really do, but they had the Foo Fighters on all week as their house musical guests and had some tremendous performances. I’ve also been on a bit of a World of Warcraft kick since I logged back in last week to check out patch 6.0.2.
