Look at this. LOOK AT IT. Do you know what it is? Let me tell you what it is: it is broken dreams. It is evidence that humanity is by and large a species of psychotic ape whose only redeeming feature is that it will one day destroy itself.
It is a crack in one of Australia's very few Street Fighter IV machines.
And what's worse is — it is not there by accident. It did not just appear randomly, as a consequence of fluctuations at the atomic level of the display glass. It was not the result of a mishap with a hammer, or a slip up during transport. It is there because some stupid fucking dickhead put it there with his stupid fucking dickhead fists. It is there because some stupid fucking dickhead COULDN'T HACK losing to a computer, and so vented his animal-like rage on its pristine monitor.

[W]hile I was playing [Streeties IV] the other day at lunchtime some guy lost a match vs the computer and punched the screen — leaving a small crack in it. I'm not joking. I nearly smacked him. I left my game and followed him and said "hey asshole, you just cracked the only street fighter 4 machine in the country". He told me to fuck off and proceeded to play a game where you punch a bag and it tells you how strong you are. I decided against smacking him at that point and called security, but by the time they showed up en force he'd wandered off.
I mean, honestly, what the fuck. Who the Christing hell beats the shit out of a brand new Streeties machine when there are games specifically designed to be punched right next to it? Also, what kind of ball-scratching Neanderthal punches things when they're frustrated? I sometimes get pissed off with my toaster, but you don't see me curb-stomping it, do you? And the worst thing is that he got away, and will no doubt go on to break other, more important things. For example, maybe he'll discover the Ark of the Covenant and then throw it off a mountain when he can't figure out how to get the lid open. Goddamn dickbutt.
Sigh. Well, anyway, on a happier note, here's a picture of Akuma from the same machine:
SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!
