I hurt my shoulder again while taking down one of the lads. Caught him in an armbar so that made it feel better...

Its kinda like golf in that way. You go out and play 90 awful shots but the one good shot you play makes you come back for more.

Haha, exactly. Shoulder was sore so had to leave training early on Monday and Gonna miss it again tonight and let it heal up but I regret nothing :pac:

Lunges were a killer, seeing as I had worked my legs a bit yesterday as well...

Away tomorrow so won't have internet access, so thought I'd update now.

Is it any good? A few of my mates saif it's not great, and Couture isn't in it...

online can be a bit annoying, with the amount of cheaters, but i found it pretty enjoyable, gameplay can get a bit stale when they have pretty much every fighter the exact same though. i enjoyed the career the most. Atm im working through gears and cod4

Don't have the inter web at home so most of the stuff I've been playing is single player - been smacking people around with a sledge hammer in Red Faction, very enjoyable :pac:
