Living The Dream....

A while ago I was kicking around the site chatroom (always a good time) when the topic of the upcoming Street Fighter II Turbo game for LIVE Arcade came up. Of course the discussion degenerated into some good-natured smack talking (common in the chat room) on who would destroy who when it was released.

Not one to back down from a challenge, I stated that I was pretty sure Id clean up against them. Now I was a pretty good Street Fighter player back in the arcades circa 1992, but the real reason for the confidence was standing right next to me in the form of a 25 inch dedicated SFII Hyper Fighting arcade machine.

I bought the machine for $240 at an arcade auction in Indianapolis in 1999, which was probably less than the total amount of quarters Ive plugged into the damn things during my mispent youth. I still look at it sometimes & cant believe I actually own one (of course the wife does the same for different reasons).

If youre interested at grabbing a machine of your own, there are quite a few companies that sell them (I got mine from the first link). The most important things you need are cash (they rarely take checks or credit cards) & an extension cord (so you can play the games to make sure they work well before bidding). As far as a fans view of an auction, check out this page, with bid histories & pictures. Now that Ive essentially let the cat out of the bag to the whole site, I better start practicing so I dont get embarassed if Capcom ever releases it...

A Little Intro...

Hey people, what's going on? I figure you've actually come here because either we've played online (hopefully you're looking for revenge) or you're looking to steal my good ideas (if that's the case, those are rare so don't waste your time). Regardless, here's a quick primer for info & possible later ridicule:

MGOBLUE, what the hell kind of name is that?
I went to undergrad @ U of Michigan & even though I got my tag the day LIVE was rolled out (11/15/01), it was the best I could get/come up with.

So what should I call you online?
Simply 'Blue' works, sometimes if blustarNF is in the game I go by 'M', 'M-Go', or 'Go Blue'

Why do you play so much Halo?
My wife is currently in grad school at Duke so I've got plenty of time on my hands. When she graduates, I imagine the Xbox 360 time will shrink plenty.

Do you do anything else besides sit on your ass playing video games?
I play a fair amount of basketball, & play other sports in the Duke intramural leagues. Sometimes we do the hiking/camping thing as well. Of course, the bar always works too...

Any favorite sports teams?
NCAA--Obviously Michigan football & Michigan/Duke basketball
NFL--Denver Broncos
NBA--I'm just a fan in general so I just like watching good matchups though I'd say Bulls
MLB--Fuck baseball...

What are you drinking?
Beer--Sam Adams (various), Guinness, Newcastle, Fuller's ESB, but have also been known to hit the Yuengling or Steel Reserve in a pinch
Bourbon--Have always like Knob Creek but Woodford Reserve is damn good
