About Me
Name: Peter
Home State: New York
Currently Residing In: Utah
Birthday: October 13th, 1985 (I'll always secretly consider the NES to have been a week-late birthday present to me from Nintendo.)
As far as video games go, I've been a gamer since I was two-and-a-half. I try to play whatever interests me, despite what other people think of those games. I don't consider myself to be a "casual" gamer, but I also don't take games unbelievably seriously. They're games, after all. They're meant to be enjoyed, not obsessed over. I never base whether I buy a game or not on a single review -- I have to try the game for myself to be totally sure.
CURRENT FAVORITES:
Metal Gear Solid Series (PS1, PS2, & PS3)
Fatal Frame Series (PS2, Xbox, Wii)
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES (PS2)
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 (PS2)
Metroid Prime Trilogy (Wii)
Dead Space (PS3, Xbox 360)
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)
Anything Zelda-Related (Various Nintendo Platforms)
My most prized gaming-related possession: A factory-sealed copy of the original Famicom Disk System Zeruda no Densetsu (The Legend of Zelda).
Mario and I were tight back in the day, yo.

This. Is. Obscene.
If there's one major pet peeve I have, it's when someone scams somebody else. So when I saw this eBay auction, I almost threw up in my mouth. Someone on eBay is actually selling completed PS3 game saves. The link above is to his Uncharted: Drake's Fortune save, which apparently gives you absolutely everything in the game. The first thing that comes to my mind is, where the hell does this guy get off? He plays a game, and then charges $4 and sells that save that he can copy as many times as he wants? And how do we even know he's actually playing the game himself? He could be downloading all the saves from GameFAQs for all we know! He could be stealing other peoples' work and making money off of it! This is the second most unbelievable thing I've seen on eBay. Yes, the second most unbelievable thing. You know what the absolute worst thing is? PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY BUYING THE SAVES! Look at all that! What the hell? Why are these people throwing their money away? Honestly, I hate what this guy is doing, but if there are people out there who are stupid enough to actually pay for the saves, they deserve to lose their money! Good Lord above, I seriously cannot believe what I just linked you guys to. You want saves? You want them for free? Right here. Just search for your game. Good heavens. And what the hell's up with the "Free Shipping" thing on the picture? Of course it's gonna be free shipping! There's nothing to fucking ship! I swear, this is gonna give me nightmares tonight.

I may buy that.
Not that this guy isn't a scumbag, but still.
I'll keep my saves to myself, thank you very much.
Are you insane?!? Arttemis is right! You'll waste your life away playing the game that many times! DON'T DO IT, MAN!
Now if he wanted to run a really good scam he'd describe them as having all the trophies unlocked, including Platinum.
*shrugs*
I dont get it really...I mean....don't we buy games to you know...play them?
Could just be me though.
I won't loose too much sleep over this.
When I said "scam," I didn't mean that he was actually tricking the people. It was semi-exaggerated, because I absolutely can't even believe this exists.
