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. ^_^

Why you should make use of the Dtoid Trading Forum
ScottyG | 6:58 PM on 05.20.2009 21 comments


Just in case some of you don't know, Destructoid has forums. Awesome forums where, amongst many other things, you can trade games with fellow Dtoiders! :)

Here's some of the things I got.


First is Illusion of Gaia, which I got from Wedge for a copy of UN Squadron.


Second is Zelda: LttP, which I got from Funktastic in exchange for a boxed copy of Super Bomberman 2. He was so nice he even threw in a Soul Calibur IV mini-calendar and a Gears of War 2 t-shirt.


Finally is Secret of Mana, which I got from Dyson in exchange for some old Nintendo Players Guides (NES Game Atlas and Final Fantasy III).

So yeah, good trades for all involved. Now get your butt in there and mingle with some Dtoiders!

...


Also, I had to share this. Because they are awesome, Scary Womanizing Pig Mask decided to hand over their recently won RFGO prize pack to me. <3 <3 <3

This would rock so hard for me if only I had something of mine I was willing to depart with.

I plan on talking about the trading forum quite a bit in the next "FORUMS:We have them" post for June.

Illusion of Gaia for U.N Squadron?

Wedge got ripped off.

Kyousuke, Wedge agreed to the trade, I'm sure (s)he's happy with it.
Also, the Dtoid game trading is amazing. I got SFA Anthology and Dragon Quest IV DS (as well as a box of random crap, including a few drawings by Garison) for trading Hydrotonix a couple of GBA Metroids. People should get trading! It's awesome! It's fun! It's free!

I'd do this if I had stuff I could bear to part with. At the moment, everything I've got is stuff I'd like to keep though.

Guess I need to take more chances on games or something...

No actually I didn't, neither of those games is massively valuable or rare, and I'd never take the time to play something like Illusion of Gaia on my SNES anymore these days. UN Squadron on the other hand, is totally fucking badass and is great for a single sitting.

It's all about what you think is worth trading away. I've come across some pretty nice trades on the forums myself, and people seem happy with my "free swag with every trade" policy.

I just got a pile of free Mad World strategy guides. I might make those into freebies if people actually express interest, and I can find a mailer big enough to actually send one.

Oh I imagine he's fine with it, just seems like a rip-off for me cause I value Gaia a loit more.
