About Me

edit

As one of the oldest members of Dtoid, (I'm already over the big 4-0) I've been gaming since the Atari 2600 was a brand new item, and thousands of my teenage hours were dedicated to gaming on the Commodore 64 and messing around with the new 300-baud modems. (That's .00003 of a megabit per second, for those of you who only know broadband.)

I'm proud to say that I'm a member of the first-generation of gamers, and I still use my PC and each of the three current-gen consoles regularly -- and not for "casual" games. Bring on the hard-core FPS and 3PS! I want to shoot something!

So, I give a big PHUCK YOU!!! to anyone who thinks that video games are for kids! As far as I'm concerned, they haven't been for kids for over 20 years.

GAME ON!

Wii game deals at Amazon today
John B \| 10:03 AM on 12.04.2008	2 comments

I guess that I should not be surprised that DToid and other sites hype when Amazon has an XB360 or PS3 "Gold Box" day. (Hey, I'm not complaining. That's when I got the latest Ratchet and Clank for 1/2 price, which made me an R&C addict.)

But today, 4 December, Amazon is offering a Wii game "Gold Box" day. Currently, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is available for the day at $25.98. I haven't been able to figure out all of the games, but it looks like Guitar Hero: World Tour might be the last one at 6 PM Pacific and there's a Mario game at 2:00 PM Pacific.

I know that there's a ton of Wii-hate on DToid, which probably explains why they refused to mention today's sale, but if you're like me and have no shame in having the little white box next to the more powerful PS3/XB360 and you want to pick up some deals, you might want to check out Amazon's Gold Box for today.

(As I write this Disney's Sing It bundle is the offer. Uh ... right ... I think we'll all pass on this one.)
