After waiting over a month, my Hydra mini scart switch finally arrived! On the visual side of things, everything seems to be in working order, however I am experiencing some audio destortion when the device is connected to power 😐 (why are these things never easy, lol?). It looks like the AC adapter I'm using might be underpowered, so I'm gonna go on the hunt for something with a bit more juice. .
Check the cool Knightrider effect (scroll across) that happens when the switch is scanning for connected consoles. .

For today's #weekofsf a whole of bunch of Street Fighter stuff, with a focus on the Street Fighter IV series. While not the most pleasing on the eye when compared to the amazing sprite work seen in the Alpha and Street Fighter III series, IV was the first Street Fighter in a while, myself and circle of friends, took seriously. .
Ranking up every night, going to tournaments and pitting ourselves against some of Europe's best both online and occasionally offline (there was even a short revival of the arcade scene in a little place near Goodge street, London), IV really struck a competitive cord. .
I can't believe the game is almost a decade old. 😳😅 . #streetfighterIV #streetfighter #fgc #capcom #arcade #fightinggames #gaminghusband #gaming #videogamer #videogames #games #ryu #xbox360 #ps3 #london #retrogaming #weekofsf
Another contribution to #weekofsf; the 3 wise Gief's 😁. These little fellows were made by kidrobot, I believe they were part of their first wave of Street Fighter licenced figures. .
I've been maining Zangief since Street Fighter II (although, in V, he isn't very good, sadly), he was the first grappler to feature in a fighting game and the first character with a playstyle centered around a command grab input. There have been many imitatations, but there's only one 'Gief! Khorosho!
