Street Fighter 2; E. Honda

 E. Honda (from Street Fighter 2)

Hey all! I haven't disappeared! I decided to buckle down and get something new on the blog, so here's a new addition to the Street Fighter characters I've done. Enjoy!

Street Fighter; Cammy

Street Fighter; Vega!

Maybe it's the claws, but even as a kid I thought Vega was one cool looking Street Fighter. It could have been that I thought he was Wolverine's cousin or something.

Street Fighter; Guile!

Another character from Street Fighter that I have great memories of.

Street Fighter; Chun-Li!

After doing those Street Fighter guys last weekend, I wanted to do another character, so...

Also, I was recently told about a charity for children with multiple online auctions right now selling celebrity items. To be totally honest, I hadn't really heard of it before (so feel free to do your homework) but it's called "Clothes Off Our Back" and it was apparently started by the "Malcom in the Middle" mom Jane Kaczmarek and Bradley Whitford.

Of particular interest is the Simpsons stuff. The Homer Etch-a-Sketch is rather cool :) Only a few days left on it though! They have Hurley's skull cufflinks too!

Street Fighter Weekend; Ken!

Thanks for checking out the Street Fighter Punx guys. I hope to get to more sometime in the future here...

Street Fighter Weekend; Ryu!

I sure had a lot of fun when I was younger, running around yelling HADOUKEN!

Street Fighter Weekend; Blanka!

I decided to get some Street Fighter characters out there. I haven't had a ton of time to do all of them, but I did want to get a few out there, and this weekend was as good enough a time as any. If you don't see your favorite this weekend just bear with me. There's always room in the future for more.

Anyway, while I've never been a huge gamer I do have a fond connection to Street Fighter 2. I would often accompany my friend on his paper route and afterwords we would hit 7-11 to play their arcade games. Sometimes they had NARC or Double Dragon, but my favorite was Street Fighter 2. My friend was quite good, and he would often get really far in the game and hook me in. His character would die, and in the countdown to continue...10...9...8...7... I'd frantically rummage through my pockets and hand over my quarters when he was out.

Gaming is a whole different ball game today obviously, but if you've never played Street Fighter in a 7-11, you've missed some rad times.

See ya Saturday and Sunday!
