About Me
My name is Anthony and I'm a gamer.

I have almost exclusively played my games on consoles from the Atari 2600 my Dad had when I was little to the NES, Genesis, SNES (After PSX came out), PSX, N64 (After Gamecube Came Out), Two PS2s, Xbox, Gamecube, Xbox 360, PS3 and Finally the Wii. when I was young, we weren't too well off financially so most systems we had in our house were limited to 4 or 5 games which we would receive on Christmas as a family gift, so I missed out on a ton of classics. And recently I got into the PC gaming Circle with Half Life 2 in June of '07.

In recent years with my having a job, I have been able to buy consoles and games with great regularity and because of this my gaming horizons have expanded greatly. And because of this I spent a large amount of time playing games when I'm not at work, school (CSUSB-Senior) or with the band, I'm playing games.

So yeah... that's all you need to know for now. And if you really want to know more, don't be afraid to message me.. I need some more friends to game with.

So today I went to Toys R Us by my house in Fontana, Ca to buy a case and some screen protectors for my shiny new PSP and I happened to notice a hugantic box under the tiny PS3 section in the games dept. This box looked unfamiliar to me and it has some kind of weird rope and plastic device on the top up it.. I approached it and to my surprise it was a rock band Set!!

I didn't know they were available anywhere so i got a little giddy and visibly excited and asked the clerk if there were any for the 360 because i don't know anyone else with a PS3 that is getting Rock Band and sure enough there was a box sitting behind the counter fresh out of the UPS truck with two Rock band sets! So i gathered the PSP starter kit I Picked out as the lady behind the counter called around to make sure these weren't preorders and after a minute or so she sold it to me!!

So tonight i busted it open set it up and got my two non-gaming sisters (the oldest is 27 and she hasn't played video games since old old Huge Game Boy when she was in elementary) to form up a band with me and rock out.

This game is so much fun.. I'm sure the novelty will wear off of me even just as guitar hero did, but this one is going to be a lot more fun when people come over to my house to hang out...

I'm thinking of making a band consisting of guys from my real band, but since there are 9 of us (We're a Ska/Indie rock band) i think we might do two opposing bands if someone else gets Rock band in the band. We have two guys capable of playing drums in the band and two singers and two guitars it might be pretty fun... I like playing the drums a lot, but I'm a bassist so I guess I get the instrument no one cares about.


So yeah... who has Rock band and what is your instrument of choice?

I haven't gotten into playing online with other dtoiders yet, but i was disappointed to see that no one on my friends list has Rock Band Yet.

I should probably start making friends here then...
