Realtime Worlds and EA are getting really good at being dickteases when it comes to releasing video and news of the much-anticipated MMO, APB (All Points Bulletin). Seems we should feel lucky to be seeing the intro cinematic for the game that essentially spells out what to expect when playing the game.
In case you can’t see the YouTube up there, the story takes place in the town of San Paro which has been reeling from crime for the past 2 decades after the assassination of mayor John Derran. When his daughter Jane Derran is elected into power, she enacts the City Security Act which essentially allows for armed vigilantism against the city’s rising gang problems.
Sounds hella fun to me, but I guess we’ll all have to wait until the end of this month (29th of June) to find out…UK gamers, you’ll have to wait until the beginning of July for your ABP fix.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
