Frank Dux’s records.

I searched the internets and nobody captured Frank Dux’s awesome records.  Tragic.  Fortunately I have dug through the archives of wisdom and found it. (I did a screencap.) Jea

Living true to yourself.

Hey, sorry for the lack of updates.  Shit’s been goin’ crazy for myself and Negatron.  Don’t worry, we ain’t dead yet.  I did want to take a blog entry and say this. STRAWBERRY SCENTED BURNOUT IS NOT, AND NEVER WILL BE IGN.  WE ARE TEAM MIXED NUTS, AND WE ARE DEFINED BY THE THINGS WE…

Strawberry Scented Burnout: Taekwondo #2 – Mina’s first fight!

Street Fighter Gift #4 – Kickass females in gaming.

Up until Street Fighter II, you couldn’t really name any kickass females in gaming.  Well, besides Samus Aran in Metroid, but you only found that out at the end of the game!  Princess Peach?  She was always getting kidnapped by Bowser.  “Kidnapped”.  Right.

Street Fighter week continues unabated at “Strawberry Scented Burnout”.  At the end of each day I’m going to list 7 things that the Street Fighter franchise has given to us, its children bathed in arcade light and stale pizza from Chuck E.

Before I talk about the indestructible game of all time Street Fighter I gotta give a shout out to one of my best friend’s in college. Happy Birthday you crazy Owl. So street fighter is 25 just like me and I must say..we age damn fine! As a lad I detested,hated, reviled this game. Why? Because I…
