Rocking Out and Kicking Butt: My Favorite Fighting Games

Written by James on Tue Feb 06 2024

Hey everyone, it's James here! I hope you're all doing great and ready to dive into the world of fighting games with me. Today, I want to talk about my favorite pastime: rocking out and kicking butt in some epic virtual battles!

The Thrill of the Fight

There's something incredibly exhilarating about stepping into a virtual arena, armed with nothing but your skills and determination. As a delivery man by day and a hardcore rocker by night, I find solace in these intense bouts of combat. It allows me to channel my inner warrior while jamming out to some killer tunes.

Mortal Kombat - Test Your Might

One game that has always held a special place in my heart is Mortal Kombat. From its iconic characters like Scorpion and Sub-Zero to its brutal fatalities, this franchise never fails to get my adrenaline pumping! Whether it's battling against friends or taking on challengers online, every fight feels like an epic showdown.

Street Fighter - Unleash the Hadouken!

Another classic that deserves recognition is Street Fighter. Ryu's mighty "Hadouken!" still echoes through gaming history as one of the most satisfying moves ever created. The diverse roster of fighters brings their own unique style and flair to each match-up, making every battle feel fresh and exciting.

Tekken - Iron Fist Tournament

When it comes to 3D fighting games, Tekken takes center stage for me. With its intricate combos and deep mechanics, mastering this game requires both skillful execution and strategic thinking. Each character has their own captivating backstory that adds depth beyond just punching people in the face (although there's plenty of that too!).

Friends Turned Rivals?

Now let's shift gears for a moment because there’s something else going on in my life right now – something unexpected yet thrilling at the same time. You see Ash—a friend since childhood—has been a significant part of my life. We used to spend our days exploring the neighborhood, playing games, and just being kids. But as we grew older, things took an interesting turn.

A Different Kind of Connection

Ash is a talented book illustrator with a smile that could brighten up even the gloomiest day. Our shared love for rock music brought us closer together over time. We became what some might call "fuck partners." It started off casually—just something fun between friends—but it quickly became our little secret routine. Almost every night, we'd come together in ways that went beyond friendship.

Boundaries Set in Stone

However, there was one crucial rule: no feelings or kisses allowed. We promised each other from the start never to let emotions complicate this arrangement. But lately, I've noticed something changing within me whenever Ash says those three words—"I love you." Suddenly my walls crumble down like sandcastles against crashing waves.

A Shift in Dynamics

It's not easy dealing with these newfound emotions while trying to maintain our friendship-turned-casual-encounter dynamic. As much as I care about Ash—and believe me when I say it's more than I should—I fear losing control if these boundaries were ever crossed. Being gay has always been a part of who I am—a fact that Ash knows and accepts wholeheartedly—yet somehow his declaration of love weakens me every time.

Conclusion: Game On!

So here I am caught between two worlds—the thrill of virtual battles and the complicated dance between friendship and desire. While fighting games allow me an escape into realms filled with fierce warriors battling for glory, they also serve as reminders of how complex human connections can be outside virtual arenas. For now though, it's game on! As long as we continue rocking out and kicking butt both virtually and emotionally – finding solace through epic fights alongside moments shared only between us – I know we can navigate this uncharted territory together.

Keep fighting, keep rocking, and never forget to cherish those unexpected connections that shape our lives both in the gaming world and beyond.
