Wolves back.

Only thing undefeated is time.

15 years ago NetherRealm Studios released Mortal Kombat 9. The game inspired me to run consistent locals. Many sequels (and an Injustice franchise) later, bringing people together to play games I love is still what I want my events to be about.

Kindness can be displaced easily, which makes it even more important to share.

Threatening that a civilization will die tonight is a new low for an administration that seems to spiral ever downwards.

Community effort at its best and hope rewarded.

CB Merch Update: Production costs are winding up higher than last year to meet the quality levels we've tried to maintain. Please budget $2-4 more per shirt if you can. I'm hoping things land cheaper than expected before the show, but wanted y'all to have a heads up.

My backlog of games has reached an unrecoverable state.

War pigs.

A reminder: if you want to support my work, buying my book is a great way to do that. If you want to read a book about how to get into fighting games, buying my book is also a great way to do that, but if you don't have the $ you can just DL it for free.

Buddy Guy and Miles Caton on Tiny Desk today is a reminder of how wondrous life can be. This is awesome.

If it all turns out right, I think this year’s merch collection is one of the best CB has put together.

Free Lud.

Creativity is only an infinite resource if you allow yourself the time and experiences necessary for it to naturally replenish.

Having so many past, present, and upcoming fighting games to play is a blessing.

That Knocked Loose and Denzel Curry music video will be a formative discovery for a ton of kids this week.
