Stratovarius are geniuses. I encountered this song while listening to the metal channel around 2002 and had to search for more of their music. Stratovarius are one of my top 5 bands. Official Phoenix youtu.be/Q_KX1ZuWJd4?si=fQTG… via @YouTube
The National Street Fighter IV tournament Lows; It was on X-Box 360. Never played 360 so I was not comfortable with the D-Pad. The store did not allow me to assign my buttons. Single elimination. At Regionals I got a mirror match & had not trained to play against another Blanka.
The National Street Fighter IV tournament was the 1st and last time my 3 brothers hang out together solo. Life had us drift apart. My oldest brother is a responsible adult. My older brother went his way and later died. Street Fighter brought us together. It reminds me of them.
