A quarter pulled from the denim confines of a pocket, and slapped on a cabinet means you’ve got next.  People were either Street Fighter, or Mortal Kombat. Personally I love both games, but I just might be slightly partial to one more than the other. []) People would line up in front of one or the other just to challenge the winner. 

  The only way to play like a pro was to persistently jam on the cab at the arcade, or have enough quarters to purchase the game and a console to tap on at home. Heh, richies.

  So you wanna’ learn a move huh? Well then you better practice via trial and error, learn from from a friend, or get in good with the cool guy at the arcade.  Other than that, you’ll have to quest for an ancient Kung-Fu master’s scroll atop the highest mountain…pfffft nah, just buy a pack of trading cards or nab an issue of Tips N’ Tricks chump!

  Yo, you wanna’ talk mess? Well you gotta’ do it face to face in an arcade. So, you better have the skill set to back the trash you expel from you mouth hole.  There ain’t no Logo embossed middle button, or convenient power switch for you bail like tantrum throwin’ baby.

Heh, my turn I got next! Aw Yeah!

 Hold one ring with no worries. Hold a hundred or none, and paranoia will follow close like Tails.

Thank you Jenjo!

Tried to tap the button that initiates pause, but gameplay still commences. Ironic that the button marked “Start” puts this virtual realm on halt until depressed again. Strange too that”Select” doesn’t always seems to be used to implement choice. What is the “Select” button for exactly when decision or direction could be chosen by an arrow on the D-Pad instead? It could possibly be to merely to have an extra button. Depending on the game, an extra button could be useful or one button too many in a combination could be overwhelming. An extra button that does nothing, is however most definitely one button too many and can crowd one’s controller interface.

  Branches, and branches stem into extrusions from all sorts of decisions.  From twigs, to entire limbs they intertwine and mingle without impact.  For a brief moment, I followed the one branch in which we both awoke. Reassuring each other it was only a fictional amalgamate of our minds during REM. From that point on, a shared future progressed.

   Though the aforementioned is considered and remembered. There are those alternate branches in which accrue. These too may be taken en route. (Most likely already are.)  Even if some of these alternates may very well welcome me to my doom, I will persist on no matter how hairy. [])

Found a paved hill in a park this morning, seemed as though undiscovered by most at first. At least for some time.
The sun was rising while Portis Head was echoing throughout my drums. The track hit the early morning mood just fine. I foot peddled my way up to the top, shin splint and all. I should have done my stretches first. None of that mattered though, once I reached the top it was nothing but me, the cool moist morning air, and the gummy urethane circumference forced to roll times four.
Snails were sludging across my downhill path, so I decided to slalom in between them without intent of harm. Although on smoothly paved cement, It felt; as cheesily as this sounds… Like I was one with nature even if it was just for a few seconds.

    This one time my friend and I attempted Streets of Rage 2 on “Mania Mode”. We played it over and over again, until the entire night had passed but to no avail. He had to work really early that morning, thus resulting in totaling his car…due to lack of sleep. Ironically enough, not only was he tired from an SOR2 all nighter…He was listening to the game’s 16-bit soundtrack mid accident. He called me. Then told me what happened. I replied “You know what we have to do right?” He said: “Yes!” (I can only assume he raised his fist in the air in a jolt of indignation the same time I did.) We met up, picked Axel and Blaze and Destroyed Mr. X on “Mania Mode” once, and for all. Now that’s Victory! [])
