Hey :] Call me Zippy :]
I have been told I'm an odd fellow, which is nice :) Loving Dtoid, been here for nearly a year now and I'm so glad I found a real community :D I feel more welcomed here than I have anywhere else.
I love all games new and old hence why I still have and play on my Spectrum, SNES, N64, PS1,2, Gameboy and more. I also have the rest of the N64/SNES games that I don't have in Physical form in Emulation form. I play PC a lot too. Check out Mame32 for a lot of classic very old arcade games.
On PC I mainly play TF2, GTA and L4D1/2. On PS3 I mainly play Killzone 2, Street Fighter 4, Mirrors Edge, Little Big Planet and a load more. Plus a lot of mini games, I play those a lot too.
I've currently just finished studying a BTEC in Game, Art and Media Design and now enjoying my holiday.
What I am playing at the moment (Steam ID: The_End21 or |LZ| Zippy):
Team Fortress 2, Worms: Reloaded
PSN: Gladiator_21
What I am reading at the moment:

Please tell me you're not a Sony fanboy, you get that Natal does it too yeah? I'm sure it's been brought up. Not an attack, just asking.
The Eyetoy was a revolutionary idea... it worked well (I loved Groove - great exercise) but nothing much has come from it. They keep inventing new stuff, but not making games. The current PSEye is nothing more than a fancy expensive webcam. :(
Good find though! (it just makes me disappointed with Sony)
the application will most likely suck
eyetoy anyone?
Fuck me. Sorry it's just getting on my tits. If people don't want news, I won't bother. Thank you for supporting me in the comments, however I do not appreciate being a fanboy, EVER.
I know it's not an attack, but don't mention the word fanboy as I'm anything but. Read my comments in Hoborgs blog and you will see that I want to own all the consoles. I don't appreciate coming back and telling people new things, and get called that.
@Elsa, I see what you are saying. I'm a bit dodgy about motion controls. But I do love playing on the Wii.
I just thought they mentioned it already, I apologize.
Besides you like Crash Bash and CTR, my missus would never forgive me :P
My wife and I played Crash Bash and CTR for days on end. CTR I loved, but Crash Bash, haha, let's just say I put up with it. The secret games at the end are good though.
...hee hee...
...ahem, you want to talk backlogs? My PS2 backlog alone could choke a donkey lol. Also, I couldn't resist getting the Blazblue limited edition before it was gone, so I got that today on PS3, and am playing through the new Call of Juarez on 360 from Gamefly (some quick impressions for those curious: I'm on the 2nd act and so far it's pretty cool, nothing utterly amazing yet, but solid mechanics and it is fun. Feels similar to CoD, but more sluggish. A little more cinematic than the first; sharp, nicely detailed graphics but there is some screen tearing at times. Dialogue isn't too bad and the voice acting is pretty good. Load times are are a little slow.The duels are the only real shittiness so far, seems to be a good game. Have yet to try multiplayer, but the objective-based modes sound cool.).
God I know what you mean, Crash Bash is not my friend! Not only do I hate the game but she whips my ass - except the tanks+the pogo one sometimes - too :(
Well I still have Crash 1 on my PS1 and I bought CTR and Crash 1 on the PS3 :) Well worth it. As I said in my profile Crash Bash is one of my favourites.
@Blasto, trust me, if I could afford one, L4D would be the first game I'd buy. I really liked it on PC, but I got bored of it, however not playing it for so long makes me want to play it again, especially with the Dtoid crew :]
Also, my backlog is OVER 9000!!! :] jk, it's more like 200-300, beat that :P
@Qraze, cheers :) That banner actually took a lot of time to place each character as a lot are cut off at the torso or waist, and each character is one layer. I basically made a list of all the characters of all the games I enjoyed (that I could fit, there's plenty more), and got renders off of Planet Renders.net. I thought as MGS4 was one of my favourite games and that man is truly a legend, he had to be on there. I just thought though, I hope I don't ruin it it for anyone else, hopefully they won't realise who he is :]
