http://www.abadox50.com The Rants and Raves of a Gamer Wed, 03 Sep 2008 05:17:01 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en So, if the lack of updates and title of this post haven't clued you in by now, I've been enjoying the hell out of my new toy. It started out as an addiction to Soul Calibur IV but once I got my new debit card, I soon discovered the joys ... http://www.abadox50.com/?p=58 Well, I would have had an on time F-Bomb yesterday but it turns out that someone in my apartment complex has been fucking with my cable box... again. I called Time Warner about it but they won't be sending a someone out to look at it until Monday or Tuesday ... http://www.abadox50.com/?p=57 Yeah, yeah, shut up... XP Since I got Soul Calibur IV, I've been like a crack addict waiting for his next fix. That said, I need help. Actually, I've been pretty patient about this, but I've still got inner-child bouncing up and down going "Can we play it yet? Oh... How ... http://www.abadox50.com/?p=55 Sorry, for the lack of updates lately. I know I haven't been making the kind of commitment to this blog that I thought I would but I promise that there will be more frequent updates from now on. There will still be a Top Ten this week as well as ... http://www.abadox50.com/?p=54 The Electronic Entertainment Expo has long been a favored tradition among the more "core" gamers.

Case in point, this dumbass. Of course, ... http://www.abadox50.com/?p=51 Another bit from Kotaku, a darker and grittier Mortal Kombat VIII was apparently scrapped in favor of the new Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe. "At last year's Midway Gamers Day, Mortal Kombat co-creator and series overlord Ed Boon talked up the then-unnamed eighth entry in the franchise. Boon described Mortal Kombat ... http://www.abadox50.com/?p=50 Mystery blogger fucks up Sony pre-E3 press rehearsal because he's a dumb shit Kotaku has reported that a unnamed blogger was reporting on Sony's E3 press announcements during a rehearsal prior to the event. "Shrine auditorium security grabbed an overly eager blogger from his third-floor balcony perch during a recent Sony E3 ... http://www.abadox50.com/?p=49 Well, the press events for The Big Three were pretty disappointing. Microsoft showed absolutely nothing of interest, Sony's God of War III announcement was just one big tease and Nintendo finally unveiled... Animal Crossing: City Folk. That's it. No new Mario and no new Zelda. That's bullshit. So I guess all there is ... http://www.abadox50.com/?p=47 So I had this really big update planned yesterday, but my power went out as the result of a thunderstorm and my internet connection wasn't restored until sometime after midnight.
