At the moment pretty much all of my few local friends who actually play games are dinks who now spend all of their time playing WoW. So, feel free to look me up and send an invite to play games. ^_^

Hello! <3

Bit about me. I've been a gamer for the most of my life. When I was seven and waiting for my parents to pick me up from piano lessons, the teacher's two sons showed me Super Mario Bros 2. Needless to say I never learned to play the piano very well...

I've flip-flopped several times between consoles and PCs. I generally love non-generic FPS games, puzzlers (Tetris is probably my favourite game of all time) and platformers of all shapes and sizes. I tolerate RPGs, but usually don't bother because I just don't have the time to invest in them.

I'm one of those freaks that regard FF7 and Ocarina of Time as merely average. That might be partly because I'm biased against the first round of 3D games that generally looked and played like crap compared to the 2d games at the time (during that generation I was a PC gamer, where they actually could do decent 3D at the time). By no means are they bad games, but plenty of games have done just as well and actually looked good in the process.

Yeah yeah, graphics aren't everything. But as important as gameplay is, looks still matter. It doesn't have to be the best looking thing around, but it at least has to be passable.

I tried to be a collector for awhile, but realized there was no market where I lived and gave that up. Currently I have an NES, SNES, GameBoy/GameBoy Colour/GameBoy Advance SP, DS, a 360, and of course my lovely gaming PC. ^_^

"Free" game offer for Canadians
ScottyG | 6:22 AM on 06.20.2008 6 comments




Just in case some people don't read their XBL newsletter (which I assume is most people), there is a deal that may interest those of a Canadian persuasion.

If you buy $100 worth of 360 accessories between now and July 1st (Canada Day of course), you can get your choice of one of four games for free:
- Halo 3
- Lost Odyssey
- PGR 4
- Viva Pinata: Party Animals

Here is the form you'll need to fill in for your redemption (in both official languages of course) which also explains the rules of the offer and lists what accessories qualify.

I'm late getting on the Lost Odyssey train, so if I can justify getting the accessories I may just take advantage of this. ^_^

Well, this woulda been great when I bought my Charger kit, my new controller, the new mic a over the past few months. Basically it's $100 for a bunch of crap you don't need to get a game worth half of that.

I guess it's good for new owners, but meh

Well... depending on where you bought it and whether or not you still have the packaging... you could always buy them again and take those ones back with the original receipt.

Damn Canucks.... I love 'em and wish I was scoring with them. I need a new controller, charge kit and mic. That would be a good incentive for me to go buy it.

Now..... I, shall wait.

Canadians are so lucky. Free games, replacement 360s instead of refurbished ones... dammit.
