#evolution 2013

I chipped in a few $ for the Game Dev scholarship to not only watch an HD stream of EVO 2013 this year, but as a sign of my commitment to actually give up much of my weekend to be a part of EVO for the first time. So many of the moments captured in this fantastic, emotional video I saw unfold live. It really was a wonderful experience and reminded me why I should have never left fighting games in the first place. For those who don't know what EVO is, weren't a part of it, or, like me, already feel nostalgia for the experience, this is for you. Enjoy and share.
