Art

kingmudsy has got an arts and craft thread up. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out. It's awesome as heck to have something like that going again because Hubski is legit filled with some super creative people and it's always wonderful to see what people are working on.

Cars

The other month, I talked about how the third, fourth, and fifth generation Camaros just didn't age well at all, visually speaking. They're all just pretty bland and underwhelming, even with clean bodies and fresh paint. Well, the other day, I was thinking about the Isuzu Vehicross and while it may have been a bit of an odd duck in its day and a bit ahead of its time, it still looks good. I can imagine, with only a few tweaks, the same car could be released today and still fit in. I kind of regret never buying a lightly used one when I had the opportunity. The combination from being a limited run car and from an abandoned brand kept me away, for fear of difficulty getting repair support for it, which is a shame, cause I probably would have loved that car. Ditto for the Pontiac G8.

Videogames

I recently got the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection and have been enjoying the heck out of it. I'm a bit at a loss though, because with the exception of Super Street Fighter II for the Sega Genesis and a little dabbling in Marvel vs. Capcom 1 and 2, Inever really played Street Fighter, instead opting for The King of Fighters series from SNK (I literally had ever King of Fighters game from '94 to XI, plus games like Neo Geo Battle Colosseum, etc.). So I'm basically in the process of learning to use and fight against characters I'm not too familiar with, with a series of fighting systems I'm not too familiar with, and I gotta say, it's quite the challenge. I like Fei Long in Super Street Fighter II, Ken in the Alpha series, and Sean in III. I think I owe it to myself to do a bit more exploring though.

Keep being beautiful everyone.
