Boxes with X'es

The start of my very hectic weekend began on Friday. I'm gonna break this down into several blog posts rather than have everyone stare at a great wall o' text. haha.

I met up with Kyo and Miya at Outram Park MRT station after work. They were each going to get an Xbox 360 from Red Sands Gamers Club. The place is actually quite out of the way and probably impossible to find unless you knew it was there.

After the two of them picked up their spankin' new 60 gb Jaspers, I accompanied Miya to his place to help set up. His PacNet connection was rather uncooperative but we managed to get the console hooked up to Xbox Live to patch NXE.

Meanwhile, back home, Kyo managed to set up his console and hook it online by himself without any trouble (Power!).

I had a late dinner at McDonald's at around 11 pm before I cabbed home. I spent the rest of the night playing Street Fighter IV online all the way till morning, only pausing to sleep from 3-5 am. I don't know if I am feeling restless or just addicted. haha.

SFIV is truly an awesome game that fills the 2D arcade fighters void in this current console generation (next in line would be KOFXII!). It seems to be one of the most popular game releases on Xbox 360 and PS3 this past week. I see it sold out in many places and there is plenty of talk about it on most gaming forums.

The game has an awesome, artistic opening. The song is The Next Door by EXILE.


*The full version of the song.*

Eventually, I was so tired that I hopped into bed at around 10 am and slept till late afternoon.
