Well, with Valentines Day finally over, hopefully the TV stations can finally stop screening back to back rom-coms and soapies. Yeah, right, like that’s ever going to happen. Still, for those of us who are more likely better acquainted with Mrs Palmer than an actual human being of the appropriate attractiveness, at least we have many more diversions ahead of us.

I’m planning on making a few new Soul Calibur V characters with which to terrorise the online community, such as a Bicycle-Repair Man who moves like Voldo, and maybe even a fighting avatar of Matt Damon if I have a chance, just so that I can yell “MATT DAMON” every time I land a hit in the multiplayer sessions.

Crafting custom characters totally beats social interaction, right?
