*I always enjoy the replayability of old Street Fighter games like Super Turbo or Third Strike. It's a shame that no one in my area shares this interest. :(
*Ramona Flowers will always be one of my dream girls. Minus the evil "ex-boyfriends" *wink, wink*. Winking because fans of the series will get what I mean.
*Tobuscus, Miles923, DMJared, Emily Hart, Domics, Caddicarus, Tomska,jacksfilms,egoraptor and Jontron. Just a few of my favorite Youtube personalities and my inspirations.
*I recently started biking again to add to my exercising regime. One of the main reasons for this is I am also currently watching a playthrough of GTA: San Andreas and that game had bikes as well. Thanks CJ!

My experience on running my First Ever SF Tourney
I recently ran my first SF4 tourney last July 21, 2013. Unfortunately,many 'expected' contestants were no shows because of various albeit bogus reasons (had other things to do, rain, didn't know where to go,
etc.) but nevertheless, we pushed through with the tourney.
We had 8 players joining in and as usual, double elimination brackets were used. The variety of characters used in said tourney was a wonderful sight (most of that I can attribute that to Francis, though...using a buttload of characters lolz.) because I don't know about you but SF4 is all about the matchups. This is what I was also told to expect (and enjoy) in SF tourneys, the chance to see the combination of theory and experience and what people do in real pressure situations. Sure, It's easy to apply the safe jumps and option selects in casuals but seeing them in action in tourneys is a different thing. Actual tech being used. It also goes to show how much a person knows the game and what he'll do to counter the opponent.
Seth Killian said it best: "One of the keys to winning at the tournament level is to do something surprising in order to put the other player in an unfamiliar situation, and then capitalize on that confusion. The best players are the ones that can recover from those situations, and begin to fight back immediately without losing their cool."
Overall, It was a great tourney. I'll try my best to run some more in the future. I just hope the community tries to get involved more.
Peace Out.

Life with Imaginary Power Ups #21: Bioshock Edition
I've always been a fan of the Bioshock series and just recently, Irrational Games announced new DLC for Bioshock Infinite, combining the two worlds the characters of Columbia and the world of Rapture. Taking advantage of my ecstatic glee, I made some posts that hit close to the Bioshock-verse.
-The only time I ever feel compelled to deal with quantum physics is whenever I listen to Rosalind Lutece's explanation of tears and the principles of quantum mechanics in Bioshock Infinite.
But then again, shit is hard, yo.
-I have a love-hate relationship with the fashion of Columbia and Rapture (1912 and 1960's, respectively) Love because it's so cool and fashionable and hate because I look ridiculous when I try them on.
It is currently on my #3 reason why I should lose more weight. Damn cravats.
-Whenever I see the old or new atmospheric diving suits, there is only one thing I can think of: Big Daddies. Damn you Rapture.
-If I ever get to chance to court a gamer girl and I have prior knowledge that she has played Bioshock or she is familiar with Bioshock lore, I'd be sure to insert a "Would you kindly...go on a date with me" pick-up
line somewhere. Andrew Ryan would be proud. (Although Jack maybe pissed at me...)

A Collection of some of the best Two Sentence Horror Stories
Reddit had this subforum for awhile now and I enjoy reading them all, real ones and trolls. Here is a collection of my favorite ones:
-The heart attack came and went, knocking Mike into unconsciousness, and as he awoke he could hear the graveside service around him. Somehow the casket was translucent to him
and he recognized some of his friends, but his body would not move and he realized with terror what death really was.
-After working a hard day I came home to see my girlfriend cradling our child. I didn't know which was more frightening, seeing my dead girlfriend and stillborn child,
or knowing that someone broke into my apartment to place them there.
-My daughter won't stop crying and screaming in the middle of the night. I visit her grave and ask her to stop, but she doesn't.
-You hear you mom call you from the living room. And then you hear her in the bedroom screaming, "Don't go! I heard it too!"
-She doesn't exist under your chair, to your left, to your right, or behind you. But don't look - she doesn't like that.
-As I glance at the mirror, I am shocked to what I see. My reflection is nowhere to be seen and someone is behind me, breathing heavily.
-The last person in the world was sitting alone at home. There was a knock on the door.(Such a classic that it appeared multiple times)
-She had the most beautiful eyes you could ever imagine. I still keep them on a shelf somewhere.
-I was on Skype with my girlfriend and she went to the bathroom. A masked man in black came from the closet and followed her.
-When my parent's killer is being dragged out of the courtroom, he laughs a terrifyingly high pitched laughed.
Ten years later, that same high pitched laugh wakes me up alone in my house.
-Don't let her know you're reading this. If she finds o
-Most laugh tracks were recorded in the early 70's, and most of those people are dead now. That means the dead are laughing at us.
-I only need one sentence. I just saw my reflection blink.
And of course, the trolls :
--I opened the fridge. There was no food.
-I have the most scariest story to share. Now I'm sad because this is my last sentence.
-I turned on my computer one morning and screamed and fell to my knees from the horror I was faced with. "Unable to connect to the Internet."
-I was alone in the house and there was a noise coming from the other room. I opened the door, got on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur. (HIGH FIVE IF YOU GET THE REFERENCE)
