About Me

Hey, I'm Martin, though the internet knows me as Dragonzigg

Unlike many self-confessed gamers, I'm not a lifelong fan, in fact I was barred from playing videogames til I was about 13. Unfortunately, I think this had the opposite effect to what was intended, instead simply making me more obsessed with games. Since then it's been impossible for me to get enogh of them, and I'd happily call myself a super hardcore gamer. No matter when it was made, what it is or for what platform I'll play it, unless it's Madden. I'm also from Tea-and-Crumpets land, aka Britain, and thus have got used to waiting twice as long and paying twice as much for my games. Nevertheless, I've managed to scrape together an Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, 2 DS's, PSP, Dreamcast, Megadrive and a gaming PC. Told you I was serious.

What else do people put in these things? Oh yes, I'm a masochist, aka a Sonic fan. Yes I know there hasn't been anything good in a decade. I love adventure and platform games, while I'm not so hot on driving and RTS games, though I'll try anything once. I love good stories and characters in my games, and have no problems wading through a tidal wave of cliche. Proof? I love JRPGs, especially Kingdom Hearts. Don't think anybody can question my nerd credentials there.




Will this do?

Christmas comes very early Dragonzigg | 7:51 AM on 05.07.2009 14 comments

I would have waited an eternity for this moment...and I sort of did to be honest. Back in February, I spent a lot of money. And then nothing happened for quite a while. But then, without warning, this turned up on my doorstep this morning. What could this be? Of course, a little bit of rapid unwrapping ensued, to reveal this It is of course a Street Fighter IV Tournament Edition Fightstick, which are considerably rarer than hen's teeth even at this point. As I said, I ordered it back in February, before the game came out, and it's only just reached here now. I kind of feel guilty about it to be honest. Over here in the UK they cost £150 (at current exchange rates that's $225), but my justification is...well, I don't have one, apart from the fact that I had the money and they are totally awesome. It's fantastic to play with, and though it doesn't improve my near hopeless skills at Street Fighter, it makes everything a little bit more tactile and enjoyable. Build quality is magnificent, it weighs a ton and looks very swish, and I'm really lookig forward to trying out upcoming releases like KOFXII and BlazBlue on it. I'll leave you with a few more shots. Certificate of authenticity, signed by the game's producer Yohinori Ono and some bloke from Mad Catz The unboxed stick in all its glory A very very happy me. Attached photos:
