Photos and Lightning Frogs

Took some photos with a friend today by a railroad. This was the end of the white in my white shoes, but it was well worth it.

Afterwards, it was time to check out the fresh Blazblue arcade cabinet in Glen Burnie. Blazblue is one of the newest fighting games to be released; it's Guilty Gear's spiritual successor, and it's largely only available in Japanese arcades until this Summer. That is, except for a scant few American locations, like Glen Burnie. 

Blazblue takes the movement and damage of Guilty Gear, tones it down a bit, and adds the traditionally 3D wakeup games of forward, backward, and neutral teching, putting an unfamiliar spin on wakeups for a 2D fighter. The game is gorgeous in Widescreen HD, and the quirky design from GG holds true in BB. My character has a wind button that influences character and projectile momentum, a fat bat pet, an animated umbrella, lightning frogs, living pumpkins and cannonballs that turn into lightning rods which, of course, energize at the push of a button. It's wild stuff, and that's just one character. Check it out at the Power Gamer in Glen Burnie if you're interested.
