Well folks its been a while, as I've been busy with the stores recently.

I'm looking at hosting a Street Fighter IV tournament at Silver City Ancaster, ON. Here are the details so far, and are subject to change.

Mon April 1st at at 8 or 10 PM (times still needs to be solidified), Silver City Ancaster

All the proceeds go towards the McMaster Childrens Hospital.

We will have the 360 hooked up to the movie projector.

$20 Per Entry Fee
$5 for Spectator Admition

Prizes are still to be solidified, we're looking for anything to be given as prizes. Any contacts at either Capcom, Microsoft or Udon would be appreciated. We'd like to include them as possible sponsors. We also would like to do raffles for the spectators.

We will have a cap of 64 contestants for the event. More info will be posted on our facebook group

Also tell us what you think.

Do you have what it takes to be number 1!

So it looks like its a done deal. We'll be opening up a 3rd store in Burlington ON.  And in this magical store I will palce my brand new Street Fighter 3 Third Strike arcade machine. Right now i only got the board, but i placed it in my Alpha 3 cabinet and it works like a charm. I have a brand new 33" showcase arcade machine coming my way so i think i'll place that in there.

Hazaa to the shopkeep!

Well its been a great month in general.

First off, my business partners and I have decided to open up a third store in a neighbouring city. Twice the size but 4 times the charm. We're going for a totally retro look. Lots of neon paint and light, and black to contrast. We're going to emphesize on the Retro Gaming thing but with a modern touch. And of course we're going to stock it all to hell with all the classic games and systems. If you haven't checked us out yet go to

(Keep in mind the site is only up with product listing and not fully functional at the moment. )

Secondly, Mega Man 9 came out. Its quite possibly the hardest Mega Man game I've played yet.  Over and Over I've had my ass handed to me by the levels and bosses (other than Galaxy Man... wayyyy to easy!). But after some perserverance i've been able to beat the game and even go unscathed throughout some of the levels. It is by far my favorite Mega Man game next to Mega Man 2.

Third, its my girlfriends birthday this month and I'm surprising her with a very nice emerald ring and a delayed birthday party. I'm hoping that it will seem more like a surprise to her once she hears "surprise" two weeks later with all her friends standing about.

Over all a good month, UNLIKE LAST MONTH. I won't even  go into last month it was that bad.

Later Bitches!
