"Gaming Day!"

Oh yeah, I've come up with a brilliant idea that'll truly rock the world we live in today. For many years we have witnessed and most of us have participated in yearly festivities or celebrations. There's christmas, easter, valentine's, indepence and even Mardi Gras day, so why not a gaming day?! The hugely loved form of art would be taken a step forward, and be much more appreciated if it was turned into a yearly celebration. Right now I really can't see a reason why this cannot go ahead, let me enlighten you on why!

Christmas - Everyone celebrates this every year, even those who don't believe in it. How ironic! It is a yearly festivity that takes place all around the world mainly because(and I'm being truthful here) it involves presents. It is the season of giving and sharing and the whole story behind it all is just being used as an excuse to receive presents when it's not your birthday! Still, some do celebrate it for the right reasons, but others just want the presents, and some don't take part in it at all! Strange! Christmas rules!

Easter - Well, in this festivity it seems that most people don't get gifts as good as christmas presents, just easter eggs and chocolate. Those soft and tasty chocolate-filled eggs that melt instantly in your mouth...anyway, easter is another occassion based on religion and once again this fact can also be used as an excuse to receive gifts from people. Easter for me this year was absolutely unforgettable. Me as the greedy person I am, stuffed my face so much with chocolate that I fell asleep in the afternoon and woke up the next day with a terrible nightmare from the sleep I had, haunting me! If I can remember correctly I think it had something to do with me, ET and Batman on a bunny-shaped world. It was just like a movie, like they all are!
"Now children, lay off the chocolate. It ain't good for your teeth."
That's what they all say until you catch them with loads of chocolate hidden in their draw, then they say no more.
Easter's great! I love the chocolate, love the sleep, hate the weird nightmares.

Gaming Day - Now it's time for the event you've all been waiting for, gaming day! This day will totally redefine the word 'celebration' and transform it into something more meaningful and enjoyable. Gaming day would be a bit like christmas by giving, but this time it's dedicated to giving games to each other and you HAVE to play a game(s) for at least an hour that day - no problems for me! As well as the giving this day will celebrate the industry everyone loves, games! It'll be a day like no other; a day when all developers can even look back at all they've done and be proud, a day where many games will be on sale, a day when all gaming fans can participate, a day when those who don't like gaming can finally see the light. This would be a day of gaming revolution, and at last it will receive the huge amount of respect it deserves.

What do you think?
Any more ideas for gaming day to make it more successful? I certainly think that it's a great idea, and especially as the industry is becoming more and more popular to people it should definitely be celebrated.

Thanks for reading

lol - i never doubted this idea for a second; maybe a minute or two

quite a neat idea as it goes

Has anyone seen the 'whacking day' episode of The Simpsons. Well, there's a song that the children sing, so here's my version:

Oh gaming day, oh gaming day
The hallowed pad-sweating, playing day
Stick in your game and start it up
You and your mates can fight for what?

Oh gaming day, oh gaming day
Get out your games and play, play, play...

Good eh?

err...
What did I come here for?
...um...
hmmm...

..

Oh yeah!

POP!

Same here!

Please Tony. You MUST say YES!

Pleeeaaaaase!

I still feel gaming day must be carried out!

Yeah, but then, everyone would chip in with any luck.

But then, Tony hasn't replied saying that SR WILL go ahead with this day anyway, so what if there isn't a Gaming Day, then no-one pays.

What if they didn't want to? Then we'll have to cash in!

Oooohooo! Mr Generosity I see! Get your wallet ready in case Tony does for some strange reason follow up this idea.

SR wouldn't have to pay anyway. They'd just take the relevant stuff out of their warehouse.
