About


Hey there, I'm never really sure what to write in these things, so here goes.

I'm a 25 year old male from Scotland, and I love games.

I tend to lean more towards FPS and RPG games, but I'm pretty open minded when it comes to trying new things, so I'm always up for recommendations.

I awoke this morning (9:17am to be precise!) to a loud banging, the kind of banging that can only be made when someone decides to ignore the letterbox and bang their fists against the door as if all of Hells minions were after them. I was not best pleased.

However, Imagine my surprise when I opened the door to find a stranger from a distant land had come to visit!



I quickly hurried him inside and showed him to the living room. For whatever reason he did not seem best pleased about his journey (he muttered something about it "being expensive as hell")



but he was my guest and I was going to cheer him up!

I decided to start of with some lovely tea and a chat



However this did not seem to perk him up! Whatever would I do? I did not want to be a bad host to my intercontinental guest! I would have to think of something else!

Perhaps he was bored? A little TV could solve that!



It didn't. So perhaps he would enjoy a dramatic reading of a good book?



Apparently he was not one for literature either! Not to be put off I thought perhaps he might be soothed by music... so I would play guitar for him!



... he was not impressed



Perhaps if I ply him with food and booze he will cheer up? I decided to try!



Nope



I was starting to get angry now...



WHAT?!? He didn't like Flame Grilled Steak flavoured McCoy's? The mightiest of all crisps? That was the last straw. I'm not proud to admit it, but I lashed out at him!



As I expected torrents of blood and innards to come flying out, I was surprised to find goodies inside!




A Monster Hunter Tri poster signed by everyone at the Dtoid/Capcom event!



ARG! I HAVE BEEN BITTEN BY SOMETHING ADORABLE!



I don't think this fella survived the trip, he is naught but bones! I will have to display him somewhere in honour of his memory!



I assume this says "Make your Wii/Wiimote look AWESOME" in Japanese.



Hey! Someone wrote all over this game!



A T-shirt with a man with a chainsaw on it! Suitable for all kinds of formal events like birthdays, weddings...



A MR DESTRUCTOID BOBBLE HEAD! :D :D



SIGNED BY NIERO! :D :D



Wait, what was this at the bottom of the pile?



A Street Fighter IV snuggie! I would have to try this on later... ok I knew I wouldn't get away with that, so I decided to recreate the box art!






Ok and one more just to keep it sexy...



Why yes, I am single ladies!


Ok in all seriousness I'd like to thank Dtoid and Capcom for these awesome prizes! This is the first contest I've ever won (except for that pool contest I won in Spain, I totally whupped that English kid!)!

Thank you! :D

From now on you need to be the internet's official unboxer
I hate you.


:D :D
I love how you fed the box all Scottish things.
You make my life complete

(Also, anyone who doesn't like McCoy's Flame Grilled Steak crisps, which are actually vegetarian friendly, is no longer my friend)
Scotch pies do not exist.
So much cool crap in a little box, WANT!

Did you know that you are not actually supposed to lift your pinky finger when you drink tea as it is a sign of being snobby. Just learned this at a fancy conference I had to go to and we had High Tea and the pinky finger thing has been wrong for a long time apparently.....so I heard, lol.

The guitar pic is awesome, needs more lightning though!
This blog states otherwise Gandy! Mwahahahaha!
I have a new goal in life. To obtain a bag of those steak chips.




...It begins.
awesome, but wtf are those snacks?!
This is fucking awesome XD

--Jealous
I bought that snuggie for $10 a few months ago. Amazing purchase.
i love you for shit like this man
I came for the unboxing but came for the snuggie.
That bobble head is BOSS.
The box didn't even take a delicious crusty mutton filled scotch pie! I say, that is one box with high standards.
He didn't like the crisps?!?! Outrage!
Best unboxing I ever read.

A box who cannot enjoy mccoys is asking to be opened.
You’ve just unboxed my heart...
Epic unboxing sir!
Congrats! Save my signature on the poster!! <3
I hate you.


:D :D
Brilliant unboxing. Enjoy your free stuff.
Also Scotland FTW
Love it
Congratulations, but I am so incredibly jealous of you in regards to the Snuggie and the Mr. Omnomnom! =P
Why do you people continue to enslave my brothers? we are, contrary to common belief, people as well. sigh.
Amazing unboxing!

I am in awe and jealous at the same time.

Love the snuggie.
Best unboxing EVER
What the fuck are Flame Grilled Steak crisps, and why is America a bad place where those don't exist?
Fuck yeah!
Also, the bobble is sweet! I have one, only yours is signed by the man in the helmet and suit himself! =)
I want a scotch pie now.
This has all been viral marketing for McCoy's
Nice haul dude. McCoys for the win.
SEND SCOT EVERYTHING FROM NOW ON!
