My New Avatar - Ryu from Street Fighter IV

by Sean Smyth on Apr.17, 2009, under Illustrations

Usually one would not make such a big who ha about such a thing but here’s something I whipped up in about 2 mins. Obviously I didn’t draw Ryu, I just cropped and scaled it down and added a border. I’m awesome like that, I guess.

Any thoughts?

Street Fighter IV: The Official Rant

by Sean Smyth on Apr.13, 2009, under Random Stuff

I’m sure you know by now, I’ve got my grubby paws on Street Fighter IV for the 360. I’ve got one of the most anticipated games of recent months. Whoopidy freakin’ doo….

Now, this is all well and good but after much testing and research this is officially the most infuriating and annoying game ever, and I mean ever. Online, it always boils down to a match where the winner is decided by a whisker or health left. Always.You know that stage when you are both down to the last minuscule of health, and it’s effectively next hit wins? Yeah, that happens ALL the time with the result being unfavourable to me more often than not.

AND Seth. Feckin’ Seth. He’s a blue dude reminiscent of Dr. Manhattan (Watchmen) and he’s just as big of a dick. He’s a cheating douchebag. He grabs you when you can not possibly be grabbed and is a teleporting whore to boot. Oh and all this is on the easiest setting. No medium here bhoyo!

Everytime I play the game, I just get so worked up and annoyed and pissed off. And that’s the thing. It’s EVERYTIME I play that game. “Then why don’t you just stop playing the game?” I don’t hear you cry. Well, the main reason is that it’s a damn good game. The second reason is that it’s one of the most addictive games I’ve played in a long long while.

There is no real point to this post other than to vent. I’ve been clogging up this thread and Twitter with my stupid whining so that’s it. I’m done. Finished. Kaputt.

Twed_Eilis said “I do wish Sean would hurry up and beat Seth so he’d stop filling my home page with complaints lol”

Of course, this whinging could all boil down to the fact that I am actually crap at the game but we all know that that’s an improbability…..

Xbox is teh Broken - Update

by Sean Smyth on Jan.12, 2009, under Random Stuff

I rang them earlier and still haven’t gotten the labels for the Couriers after 4 days. They initially said it would take 48 hours. Turns out they sent the labels to the wrong email address so they had to start again.

In fairness the people on the other end of the phone seem to be really nice and the whole process is smooth enough, even with this mishap. I really can’t complain because I’m getting 1months free Gold Subscription for my troubles.

:D

/edit

It’s fixed now. I got it collected on the 22/1/09 and it arrived back to me on the 29/1/09. That’s exactly one week from collection which is pretty awesome.

New Xbox 4 me & ExiledGamers.com

by Sean Smyth on May.18, 2008, under Random Stuff

I just got myself a brand spanking new 360 there yesterday. Shweet. I got a Halo 3 Edition Xbox and the Halo 3 legendary Edition game and it all came to €300 bucks. Not too shabby, I must say :)

So, as a perfect accompaniment to my (awesome) new purchase, I returned to ExiledGamers after a long respite after I moved away from home and consequently, my brothers Xbox.

It’s a cool site. Just a place to chillax and get a few games with some Irish lads. That’s about all I have to say really.

360. Woot.
