Metsu-Shoryuken! Super Street Fighter IV is here!

Another year, another Street Fighter game.
Which is a good thing in my book as it's clearly the best game ever.

So was it worth wait?
Hell yes!
I (realistically) do not have much free time for gaming these days but one thing is certain: I will always make time for Street Fighter.

On first impressions newcomer Juri is sick, Gouken is still the grand master, Dudley is a damn impressive all-round fighter and Ryu's new "Metsu-Shoryuken" ultra is simply THE best move in any game. EVER.

Having thrown hadokens for the past 18 years, I'm still not bored of it.
And never will be.

Oh and they've got rid of that crappy theme tune cheese-fest from SF4.

In simple terms: SF4 MINUS crappy song PLUS all the new stuff = PERFECTION (straight 10/10)

EA Modelling Audition?! Me in a video game?

It was a normal busy day in the EA office with a big batch of emails to sort through.

I noticed one mentioning a modelling audition to be a character in a forthcoming Need for Speed game.
I dismissed it initially, but after seeing other colleagues attempt it I decided to follow suit (starting to feel left out, lol)

Anyway to my surprise I actually fit the criteria and they want me to be a part of the shoot (alongside The Fuel Girls) early next year.

The criteria being: a smug, mid-30s confident Cuban ladies man who's good looking and knows it.

WTF? lol! I'm not sure whether to happy or offended!
I'm in my mid-20s, I'm not Cuban, with nothing to be smug about, not exactly confident and my looks are debatable (debate over: I fail)

But hey if I fit that bill and it means I get a day out of the office to be immortalised in a videogame alongside other models, well I'd even pose as Granny if I had to!

Probably.
