Streets of Rage 4

As a kid one of my favorite games was Streets of Rage 2 on the Sega Genesis. Though I was more a Nintendo fan boy, while still am, I still enjoyed that game a lot. But over all this genre of game, the Beat ’em up I liked the most of any other at the time. Others like Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time, and Alien vs Predator I could also play through. I like the arcade versions of such games most because you could play with a few other people and there was just something so much fun about teaming up and taking on a big bad together. That might be why I enjoy taking on rare mobs and raid bosses on World of Warcraft so much.

Then last year I learned about this game in the works, and recently they announced 4 player co-op and released this video to show what it’s like. I’m pretty sure I’m going to buy this.

Clone Pikachu

New event happening in Pokemon Go, in celebration of one of the movies coming on netflix they are putting the armored mewtwo back in, along with different versions of some pokemon. Clones of them basically. The difference is there is some slight visual difference like this pikachu here has different shaped black tips at the end of it’s ears.

Can’t want to see what else I get that’s new.

In Bloom

Spring has returned to SoCal. Then again we don’t have much a winter here either. But I’m curious if we are going to have an unseasonably cool summer again, like it was during Anime Expo weekend last year. Won’t know till it happens, but for now, it’s nice to see the flowers coming up and the bees feeding off of them. Because we need bees and other pollinators.

Tropical Indoors

I was dropping something off as a venue a little while ago. It was in a pretty run down looking around but, the inside of the place looked rather nice. Rather odd setting to see together.

New Design

At least for the time being. I’ve had the same one for most of the last decade, and it’s been really hard to find something new that fits what I’ve always had in mind to make. Here is a banner I made to use, but not sure I’ll end up using it at all. I’m going to be spending a lot of time figuring things out. But for now, this is what I shall be using. Who knows how long that will be for.

New Chances to Win

Looks like the Monopoly game is back if you shop at stores like Vons. It’s clearly a much smaller play board this time, which I like because this can give a better chance in winning something. And there will likely be less clean up after the contest time runs out. Wish me luck.

Sandpiper

Old photo while at the beach with some friends. Since winter is almost over I probably should make some time to head over to one of the more tide pool areas because you do see some really need stuff. And it’s ben awhile since I’ve done that.

I should get some stuff to help keep me warm to because california ocean water is really cold.

Cast and Crew

Another photo from when I was there for Bill and Ted Face the Music. This time it’s a shot of the crew, and Alex. Just wish I was closer to the stage then I could have gotten more, instead of forcing myself to zoom in, because that never comes out well.

Not Forgotten

Ten years, and two days ago, a guy that I knew back when I was a kid had died. I pretty much just knew him in high school and we did have some classes together. Maybe 2 or 3. What I remember most if is one day he brought his guitar and amp to health class. Can’t remember why exactly but thought it was pretty cool.

I found out Mark died, I saw a page on facebook about him and thought it was some weird fan page. Looked into it more and realized what had happened, and felt really bad. So two days ago I visited his site with a friend. Felt like I needed to get this to show how nice a place he is at looks. That and for anyone else that wants to visit they have some idea of what to look for near by. Figured I could be helpful.

Is This Fraud?

I got an email from someone who runs the instagram page, talking about how they like my work and wish to share one of my photos on their page. By doing so they will help bring engagement to my page and will get a number of new followers and such.

Of course I was smelling a scam from the very start and then I saw this line. “I will send you a price list and more information there” which confirmed my doubts. Here is the thing, I don’t proclaim myself as insanely brilliant, and I know people way smarter than me fall for this kind of stuff all the time. The trick is to know the warning signs.
