Surprising that Zangief is that intelligent, but it oddly makes sense given an unnaturally huge body like that would need to be from a deep understanding of body building. Read more
That was super fun to look through! Thanks for sharing! Read more
Places like the SNES port’s manual would mention it, probably a bunch of others. Read more
That jacket she got him is dope too. Read more
I also remember knowing that E. Honda’s name was Edmond, but I have no idea why or how I knew that. There was no internet back then, I didn’t read any Street Fighter comics, I knew that before I saw any screen adaptations. When and where was that conveyed, exactly? Read more
Ryu’s that ‘one friend’ who seems to always have the best stories, lots of cool people he’s met, very fish-out-of-water who a lot of people would love to be like.... until they meet Ken and Chun-Li who love him but are exasperated by the fact that he just doesn’t do adulting. Read more

That “show line” is important at Disneyland as well. My wife and I were riding the train around the park, and there’s a point where you can “kind of” see backstage, where the parade floats start moving from backstage near It’s A Small World into the park. There’s actually a railroad crossing that they have to go… Read more
I was on a press trip once to Disney World, and we got to have lunch at Cinderella’s Castle. I asked our minder during lunch how many Cinderellas there were, and he gave me the same answer. Not realizing how committed he was going to be to the bit, I asked again, and he kind of nervously laughed and repeated the line.… Read more
