APB closed already?!

So, I was sitting here, trying to decide on an MMO to try that I haven’t yet tried. After careful consideration I decided to give the game called APB a shot. I looked around at my favorite online stores, and couldn’t find it anywhere! I knew something was up, because it’s not like I could be misspelling the name.

After digging around, I decide to try to find the games website, assuming that maybe the game for some reason is only available for purchase through their store. To my amazement, their website was also gone! Curiouser and curiouser I thought.

After even more hunting around the internet, I discovered that APB had closed it’s doors! That’s right, the game had shut down. Now, the fact that it shut down isn’t the odd part. I mean, MMOs do have a habit of shutting down, especially the way the economy is these days. What is surprising however is how quickly the game closed down! After only being open for 3 months, they decided to call it quits.

You read that right! Three Months! APB now as far as I know, has the distinction of being the shortest lived MMO in gaming history, so congratulations on that!

I guess I will just have to stick to GTA IV in free roam mode.

Mini-Me

There are like, several places on the net that allow you to create your own avatar representation, some are much cooler than others, one such cool place I found was a community site called MiniEgo. It was there that I decided to try my hand at re-creating myself with their avatar creation tool.

The end result? Well, it doesn’t look much like me, in fact it looks a lot better than me, but was as close as I could get…However my Mini-me does look pretty damn cute if I do say so myself. Take a look for yourself!
