Sportacus's blog

Last week I finally decided that I am ready to dish out 15 dollars a month, and start playing an MMORPG. What I did not know is how stressful finding the right one for me would be. In 2006 I played World of Warcaft for three months, but with none of my close friends playing with me, I found it hard to fork out the money each month, but now that I have a well paying job, and SGC being the only other thing I need to save for, I think I'm ready.

A few days ago, after unearthing my lost copy of Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain for the ps2, memories of playing the game online rushed back to me and I became incredibly excited to experience the game once again. I plugged in my ethernet cord to my ps2 and away I went, starting the game as usual. Everything was going normal until right before the level select screen, I got a network error. So I tried again and again getting the same error until it hit me...Sony had closed their online service for the game.

Ever since the re-design of ScrewAttack.com, I have been a lonely man. Unable to log into the forums, my voice has been silenced and my contact with outer nerd world, diminished. In these past few days I have been passing the time with what little I have. I play Grand Theft Auto IV for 9 hours on end, spending quality with my girlfriend (By this i mean inviting her over and makig her watch me play GTA IV) and alas, even applying for a job. As the days go on and my body withers, the future does not look bright for Sportacus.

Well here it is folks, the new screwattack (Incase you havn't noticed it yet.) and boy, is it a fine lookin' site. Hopefully we've all managed to take just a couple minutes out of our busy, GTA 4 playing schedules to poke around it for a bit, and whore up some points. Actually by the looks of it so far, there will be very little point whoring going on, just fine, high quality, accurate G1 activity ratings (Not like xbox lives "Looting" style points whores, hoping that a higher gamer score will make up for their incredibly...).
