It’s no secret that I am obsessed with videogame music. I even remix it in my spare time. Working a desk job, I end up listening to soundtracks throughout large portions of the day, and I enjoy sharing music with others who might otherwise not hear the songs I love so much.

So I thought I’d write about my journey with the fighting game, my transformation from hater to lover, and hopefully get people to give them a second thought.
