Then, our back up only had the input voices (those going into mics in the room... no skyped in voices) on it. So we had to rerecord the feature. Even with redundancy, there can be problems. So yeah, Distractions. Lots of Street Fighter IV obviously. Then news... but who cares really... you guys are here to hear about Street Fighter right? So after the break... Gootecks, otherwise known as Ryan Gutierrez, joins us to talk about Street Fighter IV! But, you guys sent us SO MANY good emails, we had to cut the feature short about half way through.
