About Me
I've been on D-toid for quite some time, and I got into video games back in the NES days. Here's my console history, because that's relevant and all...NES->Genesis->Playstation->PS2->Xbox 360. I've also owned an N64, Dreamcast, and a bunch of portable systems, and I recently bought a PS3 in addition to my 360.

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 spend a ton of time here, though I've usually confined much of my time to reading stories and commenting on them. I'm in college right now and I work part-time as a writer (both for MMA and freelance crap).

Free Year of EGM- No catch!
akathatoneguy | 12:42 PM on 01.23.2008 31 comments


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.

https://www.zdmcirc.com/forms/secure...tiq_Partn.html

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



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Meh, why not. I've never read EGM but this seems like the right price to try it out.

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.

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.
