Fight Night 3 AddictionSo I've been playing Fight Night Round 3 lately and have gradually been boxing my way into addiction, which has its good and bad points. Good because I'm in a position now where I can't just buy every game that comes out whenever I feel like it, so having a game that keeps me hooked for ages is great. On the other hand I find myself constantly playing Eye of the Tiger over the actual game music as I play and I've also developed this habit of, moving, ducking and weaving with my boxer as I beat people up over XBox Live.I also spent 3 hours last night creating Mike Tyson on the create a boxer section. Might try my hand at making Frank Bruno and Joe Calzaghe soon. And Clubber from Rocky.... Cause any game that includes Mr T is worth 40 - 50 quid, its not even a point that can be argued.My Fiancee had to do a stop off flight coming here from the States before and saw Mr T at the airport. He was wearing a golden spoon around his neck - true story. Wearing a golden spoon around his neck, for me, just underlines his god like status. I'd like a golden spoon.... If only to hit people with it.Sometimes I wonder what I'd do if I met Mr T. Would I ask for his autograph ? Maybe I'd ask him to make it more personal, like add a message just for me, so I could make everyone I know jealous, even if its to tell me to go fuck myself or that he didn't understand a word I'd said to him. Maybe I'd just pester him with random talk and annoy him until he'd shout "Shut up fool !!!" - that would make my life somewhat complete. Or maybe he would just skip that and swing for me, but even then, how many guys would be able to tell their grandkids that they got decked by Mr T ? I guess I'd probably settle for the autograph.He should at least be a trainer in this game - he'd be a cool cornerman too. Me and T would travel across XBox Live, knocking everyone out from all different Countries. But thats not going to happen, and even worse is that I have to acknowledge that EA have actually made an excellent game for once. At the same time though, its kinda sad that this is an EA game, as they will never try to make it perfect with all the extras people would love to see - as other developers would try to do. Instead, they will add a few touches each time that will do enough to sell more copies, but with minimal effort. But at least it is still the best boxing game ever - except for those stupid stun punches and flash KOs. They suck. And people who keep using them are scum sucking, pig humping whores. Now I must train, I have a fight later and it wouldn't be right to just do it without a Rocky style build up leading upto the match.
