A History of Street Fighter II
To my buddies at the MAAN Clan, I am the resident Fighting Game Guru. In my college days, The Grey Ghost and I shared many an epic battle in one fighter or another. I cut my competitive gaming teeth on fighters like Street Fighter 2, Tekken, and Virtua Fighter. My gaming ‘hobby’ became serious ‘competition’ with Friday afternoons in my Freshman Year in High School History Class, and Street Fighter 2 when Reggie would bring his Super NES to school and the teacher let us have the second half of the period to ourselves. That was over 16 years ago. As part of the community, I have seen Street Fighter 2 go through seven evolutionary stages, from Street Fighter 2 through Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo (Super Turbo) to the final Capcom release of Hyper Street Fighter 2 – Anniversary Edition (AE). Now the new Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix (Street Fighter HD or SFHD), a fan made and Capcom blessed Ultimate Edition of Super Turbo, has hit the PSN and XBL, and introduces and re-introduces players to iconic characters like Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Guile, and M. Bison.

I love fighting games. I cut my competitive video gaming teeth on fighters. My gaming ‘hobby’ became serious ‘competition’ with Friday afternoons, History Class, and Street Fighter 2 when Reggie would bring his Super NES to school and the teacher let us have the second half of the period to ourselves. That was 16 years ago. I am sure that many of you have similar stories. We can all pretty much agree that a fighting game is almost the perfect competitive game. Two players, one screen, one machine. For the arcades as long as the machine and screen are in good working order, there is no worrying about frame rate, whether ‘your’ hardware can run the game, or connection speed (for now).
A lot of the information here will not be new to the seasoned Fighting Game Enthusiast. For those others, I hope the information here is entertaining if not useful.

Heath Ledger, who is set to play the Joker in the upcoming film “The Dark Knight”, was found dead in his appartment today at 3:45pm. What does this mean for the movies post production schedule?

This was not intended to be my first blog post, but Ghost’s Porn post inspired me to share my feelings on the subject of Porn. Nerds and porn go hand in hand. I have friends who have HD after HD of porn. Every year a group of online buddies of mine have social gathering. We all haul our computers halfway across the world to meet in person to have meat, beer, and to get our game on. This usually lasts about a week. About half that week is spent trading porn. They organize it according to type, style, and what general mood they are in for the night. Most of these guys are in relationships or have wives. This is what baffles me.
If your in a relationship, no, scratch that, even if you are not in a relationship and over the age of 21, what the hell do you need porn for? Once you have felt the touch of a woman, you want to go back to your hand? I can understand porn when you are a young teenager, and finding a nice warm, tight space to park your penis is few and far between. At the age of 21 you should be socially mature enough to get as much ass as you want. When your married, there should be no excuse for porn. If I am feeling in the mood, all I have to do is look toward my bed to see that I have as much willing naked nookie as I can handle.
Maybe I just do not undestand the obsession to collect porn. Why does one want to stay at home and look at women having sex with each other, men, donkies, and whatever else they can stuff in themselves, when you have a vast sea of willing naked nookie right outside your front door?
It is a rough first post, I know. I promise they will improve as I write more. I am a speaker, not a writer.
