This is year 2 of Capcom inspired costumes.  This year I decided to be BB Hood.  Fairly easy costume to achieve and I always like to twist it up.  

BB HOOD vs DEATH

As I get ready for Halloween, I"ve been playing a lot of horror games and watching horror movies. That maybe why I had the strangest nightmare ever.  That resembles this:

It starts out at a house and walk in, then behind me I am getting chased by nurses from Silent Hill.  I throw a grenade at them and they go boom. 

I made a left and the Infected from resident evil five have there mouths open and it's icky. I shotgun their heads. And runto into that guy with the scythe and I run under his legs.

Then I'm getting chased by all of the above and I wake up. Then I fall back asleep, and they are all dead on the floor and behind me I hear, "STARS!" and now Nemesis is chasing me.  

I never know if I ever made it out  of nemesis in time because I woke up. 

I was so freaked out that I stayed up for about 2 hours watching Tiny Toons. 

I hope you enjoyed my little story that really happened while I was asleep. 

Apparently hedgehogs, amongst other small exotic creatures, are harmful to childern under 5.  They can give your toddler the following disease, salmonella and Sonic's relatives, hedgehogs, can give childern rashes because of their quills. 

Now, several childern that I know, including my nephew have had hamster's as early as 2 and they are fine.  What's the probelm? Not washing your hands after you play with the little critters.  It would be as if you were preparing chicken, your kids help you and he begins to lick his fingers afterward.

For all true fanboys of the game, isn't it exciting to hear PERFECT resonating from that electornic voice?  Well, you get to  hear in your head after reading this from www.gamesradar.com

Street Fighter IV - Xbox 360

To those of us who first bonded with Ryu way back on the SNES, Street Fighter IV has the potential be a nigh-religious experience. And to anyone else, it could still be a shimmering example of everything that is good and true about 2D gaming. Planning and spontaneity. Brutality and psychology. Extravagance and perfect game-balance. All of the contradictory beauty which made up Street Fighter II is here in abundance.

It is familiar and it is comforting, but it offers just enough of the new to be an endlessly tantalising prospect. Street Fighter is back in a way which reminds us why it never really went away in our hearts. And it and looks and sounds as good as anything else out there. No arguments.

Score: 10

The olympics ended with fireworks, controversy, and arrests.  Pretty tame for China. Here are the greatest moments, in video games referenced form:

And my personal favorite:
