"Army of the Free Gamer"

Through all the steaming piles of wreckage and console war victims, through towers of old consoles hit by the necessity to sell more units or the results of one marketing mistake, through the mists and fumes of corporate war and the injured soldiers from battle lines of consoles past I make my stand.

From the past to the future I step through the wastes of consoles lost to a whole generation or those that risk being overpowered by those that would seek a single format and the dominance of one gaming name. I travel through the wreckage, helping the injured to see the light and reclaim their dignity, showing those that would seek to harm others that there is an answer beyond their own television screen and bringing the Scart switch box of choice to those in need of multi format reformation.

I hold my flag aloft, for it does not bare one corporate logo, a machine nor a single games character, it bares a single slogan which reads in big, bold letters ‘GAMING RULES’. It stands for the freedom to choose and to experience gaming in its purest form, to hold to those morals and feelings that brought you to the great land of gaming, now split and torn into foreign lands. I battle with the tools that have been familiar to most, but using them for the power of good. I wield my sword of gameplay, my pistols of multi platform release and my shield of second hand gaming markets. Occasionally I call for the power of multi-region gaming when the battle gets rough, but the masses need only the sight given to them by my freedom movement.

While others fight the fight, inspired or hypnotised by the headless generals who enforce their console’s power over the global gaming public, I ask you to join my army of the free gamer and renounce your single gaming format ways. Be free to express your love of gaming on any platform while the bombs of commerce drop and the formats fold like cards in the wind. Be free to shout from the smouldering roof of gaming dead and gone, to revive the spirit of the consoles lost to a consumer hungry generation, but to accept the products of a gaming future with open arms and a beating heart.

Join the Army of the Free Gamer now and prepare to battle the evil of the single format demons that infest the world with console wars and injure those that would once stand proud, for I wish to know that I do not stand alone.

My God that was well written, excellent!

But will you join? :-)

That was damn good.

Alright. From this day forward I am no longer a Ninty, but a free gamer who likes good games no matter what format they're on.

I'll just happen to be choosing a Gamecube.

But no matter how unbiased I am, I won't like GT3! :-)

GAMING RULES!!!

Yes, once I walked the path of darkness, blinked by almost all the sides, walking towards what I felt was the light... but no, it seemed, the light wasn't just ahead, behind, or even to the sides, no. It was all around, and it was good.

Gaming rules.

Now shout it from the rooftops and save those still in the dark, for we, the army of the free gamer, aim to bring true gaming to those still in the dark.

Stand for your right to play, on any format, on any game, on any day. One day we will all be free.

I'm with Strafex...but the opposite way around, if you know what I mean.

Nicely written pb.

When you gonna be on MSN again?? Me want to talk. {:)

I'll be on MSN at the weekend, work gets in the way this week. Damn post 6pm internet access!
