About
I've been on D-toid for quite some time, and I got into video games back in the NES days.

My console history pretty much goes like this...NES->Genesis->Playstation->PS2->Xbox 360 (+PS3). I've also briefly owned an N64, Dreamcast, and a bunch of portable systems. Because I missed out on a good three generations of Nintendo, I've also missed out on plenty of classics. Plus, I had years in high school where I didn't play games much at all, or stuck mainly to (gasp!) sports games. Have no fear, fellow gamers...I have since renounced my evil ways and opened myself up to worlds of amazing games that don't involve sticks, or...er, balls. Okay, I worded that awkwardly.

I'm also into sports, movies, and other stuff that is pretty much enjoyed by most everybody. My main hobbies are MMA (mostly watching, although I do jiu-jitsu and have done some kickboxing), the Chicago Bears/Cubs, and video games. I read comics when I have time in an effort to become a more well-rounded nerd, also. I'm finishing up college right now and I haven't worked a "regular" job in about five years now. Instead, I've been a freelance writer and written MMA columns at various sites (currently Fightmania.com).

I would LOVE to write about video games professionally, and I think I'm ready to do so. I've resurrected my c-blog going again partially in an effort to reach that goal, and partially because I just like to be able to connect with other people about the games I experience and topics in the gaming industry.

Inquiries, love letters, marriage proposals, and amazing job offers go to akathatoneguy [at] hotmail [dot] com.

I'm quite sure someone may have posted this, but I will endure the flames in the hopes of helping my fellow Dtoiders get some free shit.

Over at Joystiq.com they are offering a free year of EGM to the first 22,000 to sign up. Why 22,000? Only Jack Bauer and Jesus know for sure. The point is, it's free, and...it's free. They don't ask for credit card info or anything else, and according to Joystiq, you won't be billed automatically after the first year, you will have to sign up yourself if you want to extend it, so you don't have to worry about canceling. What are you waiting for? Oh. The link, maybe.

And before you Dtoid loyalists flame me for reading Joystiq, I actually found this at the Cheap Ass Gamer forums. So there.



Is this blog awesome? Vote it up!

Can you give us the full link so we can copy and paste it...or even the link so we could just click it if we were interested?
Lame, since it doesn't ship to Canada...
Thanks, fella. As much as AOLJoystiqLMAO sucks, free stuff is good stuff. Much obliged.

Sounds like a good offer, no credit card info needed or anything.
@ binny101

fill it out anyway, it wont let u post your full postal, but just minus the 2nd letter out of your postal and it should be fine. ive signed up for tons of free stuff that was US only and Ill still get in Canada.
In! Thanks!
@chief blaze
I did what you said, so hopefully ti works. If not, I guess I don't get a magazine I never really liked. But free is free!
Yeah, I did something similar via Joystiq, last year. It's nice to get free stuff but, honestly, I haven't really been reading any of the mags. *shrug*
Or, you could use internet Matlockery and find out that you can get free EGM 24/7/365 by READING.

I give you the slickdeals.net free magazine offers thread.

Enjoy.
hey if its free, why not?
@king3vbo:

Getting kicked in the nuts can be free too..doesn't mean I want it. I'll pass.
This is the first time I've had WiiSucks visit my blog and let me tell you:

It is AMAZING.

Also, amazing how you can get five times as many comments by putting "free" in your title, instead of putting effort into writing something thought-provoking. Not that I'm complaining.
Lol I have like 10 free years of EGM now.
Yah but I like EGM, but not enough to pay for it... So I will get a free year for the hell of it.
Too bad EGM listens to emo music! Still a sweet deal although I get EGM and GFW for free since my aunt works at a office and gets them in.
Grim > same here.

And the sad part, is WiiSucks is who Niero reads the most;;!
I'm with Grim and Balth.
Meh, why not. I've never read EGM but this seems like the right price to try it out.
*cry* I know, WiiSucks, I know.
I just submitted the info but it just redirected me to joystiq.com. Is there no confirmation message or anything?
Off topic but what fight was that tito ortiz picture in your banner taken after?
I got a screen that said they received the info and I'd be redirected to Joystiq. Perhaps your internet is just superduperfast and you missed it?
@ Genfuyung-

That's actually Tony Fryklund. He's fought for quite awhile as part of the Miletich camp, and been in the UFC several times, though none very recently. The fight was either against Jonathan Goulet or David Louiseau, I'm not sure which. He got cut and was mad because the fight was stopped but he wanted to continue. The guy's an animal, but has never been able to break through to the very top level.
Excited until i read: Offer valid for US residents only.
I actually did one of these a few months ago and got a free year of EGM. Usually they come, although I think they might not have shipped me a few. But seeing as I'm getting the mag for free, I'm perfectly fine.
Well, shit. Signed up. Not bad at all!
hey, did this ever actually come through for anyone?
