    So.....I was in my orchestra director's office today just sitting there talking (I get out of school early so I like hanging out in there) and I decided to pull out my laptop and started playing street fighter 3. He heard me playing it and I showed him all the street fighters I had on my laptop and we started talking. He was telling me about how he LOVES ken and naturally I had the same re-action most of you had when you read that. But the started telling me about how he loved playing Street fighter 2 turbo back in the arcades and he apparently had been playing street fighter for years. Then the conversation turned and we talked about the Super Nintendo and etc. 

    The point being,I was very surprised that  my Director had any gaming experience at all,let alone still played street fighter.

    So,do any of you guys have any friends who seem way to old to be playing street fighter who are playing Street Fighter IV?

    Kind of reminds me of my dad... He was the master of Galaga in the arcades when he was a kid. He didn't play video games for a long time. Then he started playing some Army Men games and Star Wars games on the N64 and some single player games on the PS2 (Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, Star Wars Battlefront). Now he's really into Call of Duty 4 online. He got level 55 Gold Cross about a month ago and then made a new PSN Account to start over from scratch. =P

    Speaking of my dad's mastery of Galaga, we were at M.G.M. Studios a couple years ago in Florida and in one of the restaurants they had a Galaga machine. He set the hi-score on that machine.

    He ain't that old, in fact most people in the Halo generation never played an SF game before 4.
