Had to wait a while for paint but, yesterday my Street Fighter 2 CE arcade cabinet came back from my friends paint shop! I thought i would post up a picture real quick showing the assembly progress. :)

Oh and if your playing Blops2 hit me up! I normally play Hardcore TDM or Kill Confirmed but, I'll pretty much play anything.

Having been interested in this game for a while, but hesistant to drop €60 on it, I've taken advantage of the free-weekend on Steam for Defiance. A cynic would say that even for free those are a lopt of hours of 'fun' you won't never get back. Basically because Defiance doesn't give anything in return for €60. (€100 with Season's Pass.)

My kids are out of school, freeing me up to run more.

I have the Atlanta Peachtree Road Race 10K July 4th and a buddy has asked me to run a trail 50K (31mi) with him in October.

Got back into it today with a gentle ten miler.

Bring it.

Since the Xbox One reveal on Tuesday, many have been asking why I'm less than pleased with Microsoft. Simply put, Microsoft has declared war. The fact that Microsoft is attempting to cripple - and profit from - the used game market is common knowledge. AngryJason's blog referenced an article (http://www.gamespot.com//news/xbox-one-preowned-plan-revealed-6408850?) outlining Microsoft's preowned plan. I'm one of the very people Microsoft intends to cripple in their plans.

I love the Xbox, aaaaaaaaaand it's gone.

I don't always play Xbox, but when I do, it's my 360.

Seriously. How stupid can people get? The 180 was the frigging answer to sugarcoated japanese moe machines, catered to the hardcore early adapter/gamer (remember that awesome splosion on boot-up?) and the 360 before NXE, with the awesome blades-interface... good times, great games.

Why would I buy a machine that isn't about gaming anymore and tries to do everything my PC does, but with more restrictions? Xbox One is the revival of the doomed Netbox. Remember that?

Just read this article http://www.gamespot.com/news/xbox-one-preorder-plan-revealed-6408850

Basic highlights:

According to retail sources speaking with MCV, retailers will be able to charge whatever they want for secondhand Xbox One games, but Microsoft and publishers will receive a cut of every transaction.

I created a new word...bellyarsing!

Carry on straight people!!!
