CaptainAwesome Royalty CaptainAwesome ON 27 May 2008 02:28:55PM 12 years old. Florida. Killer Instinct in the arcade. Gang of ultra-cliche-blinged out gangster guys wander in. They're all watching me fight their mate - kicked his ass and pulled off the Orchid "boob-flash, head explodes" fatality. They were all on the floor laughing and he shouts, "Man! Check out this kid pullin' his tits on me 'n shit". It was a proud moment.
