Just the FACTS, ma’am. 

#otakuFIGHTER No. 3 – The training environment is important!

I’m quite sure I’ve mentioned it past entries, but just in case you’ve forgotten, I train at The Boxing Club in La Jolla, CA.  The trainers there are all friendly, though they can be pretty strict.  At times, they remind me of the masters at Ryouzanpaku, of Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple.  And they’ve all got…

2014? No, it’s 201-Wesley!

I’m not sure how it’s gonna work either.  Either way, happy new year!  Expect more geeky shit, #otakuFIGHTER entries, and our comic!

5 years….and I’m still going to keep fighting.

It’s been 5 fuckin’ years since I started SSB.  What once was my outlet for all the negative energy that surrounded me has become a part of my life.  And a part of a few other people as well.  I wonder why it’s lasted this long, despite a comic not ever really launching.  I guess…

#otakuFIGHTER No. 2 – Training for a Joe Higashi cosplay.

Currently, I’m trying to burn off the fat and build some muscle for next year’s comic con.  I’m gonna be cosplaying as Joe Higashi from the Fatal Fury/KOF series.  Just in case you needed a quick reminder: And since this requires me to be shirtless, I’ve gotta do this right.  I’ve already increased the intensity…

The Peach Complex.

  Shigeru Miyamoto, must have been in some kind of F’d up relationship with his girlfriend. He must have gotten his heart broken and decided to make a game based on his relationship to help men around the world relate and cope. Think about it! Princess Peach is the eternal cock-tease right? and we all know…

Retooled, revamped, recharged, let’s do this.

Oh man, here we are again.  SSB.  The three letters that signify a certain level of geekiness achieved only by years upon years of #thatgeeklife.  Welcome to the new “Strawberry Scented Burnout” website! Lovingly hosted on bluehost.com, SSB is now a wordpress.org site, with all the bells and whistles that come with it.  Truth be…

Oh Me! Oh My!: O M Jii

I may have just been out of the loop, but I saw this the other day and just had to share. There are these USB lighters from Japan. Pretty cool concept. A lighter and USB in one. For the tech geek who also smokes. Wonderbar! And they run on rechargeable battery? Amazing! And then there’s the commercial…

Asian Archetypes in Comics: Revealed and Reimagined

For any film makers, writers, actors, or musicians out there, the Japanese American Natural Museum in Los Angeles is calling for original monologues or short performance pieces “that rethink, subvert, deconstruct, or satirize the eight Asian pop-culture archetypes depicted in the Marvels & Monsters: Unmasking Asian Images in U.S. Comics, 1942-1986 exhibition. Winning entries to be showcased on…

Of course I supported “Mighty No. 9”. Why wouldn’t I?!

For many of us gamers, Mega Man has a special place in our collective hearts.  Some more than others.  Admittedly, I didn’t start playing with the Blue Bomber until the X series.  That shit was the tits. However, the blue bomber’s been gettin’ the shaft from Capcom as of late, and after his creator Keiji…
