Okay.  I am hopeless at Street Fighter II.  Can’t even do the combo for that fireball-hadoken thing, all I can do is the E-Honda hand-slap combo.  I get my ass handed to me by 6yr olds.  But….if you are one of those people whose fingers are still worn down to the nub and haven’t grown back since playing SFII in the 1990s, then this gadget may well be for you.  It makes Street Fighter II sounds.  That’s right.  Sounds of Street Fighter II.  It’s a keychain. I bet you want one.  Bandai makes it, and it’s about ten bucks. More info here and video here.

Great site for Gran Turismo. The Gran Turismo series was developed by Polyphony Digital (Kazunori Yamauchi is a God) and is perhaps solely responsible for the introduction of Japanese performance cars to the rest of the world (big call I know but who would have thought I’d own a car I used to play with in a video game?!).
