Street Fighter Arcades in Tokyo – Big Box Taito Station Guide
The breeding grounds for some of the best Street Fighter players in the world are coming to a close and they’ll be sadly missed by many of my generation who grew up with them. I spent countless hours at the arcades, and can I tell you there’s nothing like the feeling of in person head-to-head

Won My First Street Fighter IV Tourney
I dropped by a small SFIV tournament in Sacramento this weekend at Metropolis Comics off of Bruceville Rd. Wasn’t planning on winning, but I ended up making it to the Grand Finals where I had to play against Romeo’s Balrog for 1st place. Won a hundred bucks and met a friendly bunch of the local
Custom MadCatz Tournament Edition Stick Bamboo Cover
Last week, I showed you a few pics of the my newly designed custom TE stick covers. I’m now testing to ensure fitment and quality of finish. If you take a closer look, you’ll notice that none of the edges of the bamboo cover are raw. They are completely finished to provide a nice blend
Custom MadCatz Tournament Edition Stick Covers – Stage 1
I love the MadCatz Tournament Edition (TE) arcade fighsticks produced for Street Fighter IV, but I wanted to add my personal touch to them. I did a search on the shoryuken.com forums and found a few options for plexi covers and such, but the quality of after market items being produced wasn’t quite what I

Dim Sum in Hong Kong is Amazingly Good and Cheap
Hong Kong is the king when it comes to dim sum. I live in San Francisco where there are some great good dim sum places, but they seriously can’t hold a candle to the master chefs here in Hong Kong. Everything is just tastier, fresher, and higher in quality. I don’t know what they put
In Search of Roast Goose in Mongkok, Kowloon
I’ve made it a point to find myself a plate of roast goose in Hong Kong. Last time I was here, I had no idea there was such a thing. I’ve eaten my fair share of fabulous roast duck (especially since I literally grew up in a Chinese restaurant), but I’ve never had roast goose.
