Old-school gamer. I started gaming with the Atari 2600. I became an addict with the arcade release of Street Fighter II at my college. The SNES release pushed me into buying that system and a lame arcade stick. I haven't looked back since then. I still consider the 16-bit to be the Golden Age of gaming. The current generation is keeping me pretty happy, especially with the fighting game renaissance that's happening lately. And, yes, I'm old.

Day 2 was much better than day one. The BlazBlue team tournament was cool. The guy typing in the team names screwed up and named our team Leaky rather than L337 Beat. Oh, well. We were eliminated in the first round by the team that went on to win first. I defeated their first player with Noel and then their second player beat me, Kirbilot and Kapkomi with his Ragna. Still, it was fun.
I spent some time in the SNK fans' section playing Waku Waku 7, Matrimelee, Mark of the Wolves and Martial Champions. I also talked about SNK and arcade machines with a guy named Chris. He brought most of the SNK cabinets at the show. His friend George brought 2 kid-sized SNK machines that are a new obsession of mine as well as lots of knowledge about arcade machine history and obscure Japanese fighting games based on Toho shmups. I met Dogface from the Dogface show and he was cool. After dinner at a Japanese restaurant, we watched some of the semifinal SFIV matches. Seeing Daigo, Ed Ma, Combofiend and other high level players in real life was pretty awesome. Today justified this trip with its awesomeness. And tomorrow will be better.
