Wacky Street Fighter Characters
What if Ronald McDonald were to face Colonel Sanders in a Street Fighter-style brawl? How about Waldo (of “Where’s Waldo?” fame) matched up against the Michelin Man? That’s exactly what Japanese illustrator Kei Suwabe had in mind when he took figures from pop culture and anime and created a series of unexpected Street Fighter characters.

A Handy Vampire Hunter Comparison Chart
Sorry for the lack of posts as of late. Just as Claire got better from her cold, I caught it…and managed to pass it on to Aerin as well. 🙁 The good news? J’s parents gave me some Chinese cough medicine that made me feel infinitely better. Only when I looked at the label did I […]
Intrigued by the Microsoft Surface…
So this was announced yesterday: (image source) As someone who vastly prefers physical keyboards to those on touchscreens, I can’t help but show some interest in the new Microsoft Surface.
