"Ya what?" most of you are probably thinking.

Well today is my 800th day bein' registered on these forums!

Iii, it's been a good fun 2+ yrs!

I can still remember the days when I first registered and made some of the very first posts in some of the forums. The days when there wasn't half the amount of people around that there are today.

I've seen people come, people go. Consoles born, consoles die. But this forum just keeps on going, getting bigger every day!

This is the place to come where you feel right at home. Surrounded by people with the same love of games {well almost, arf arf}, where you can just chat about anything ya want.

In all my time here I've won the amazing '1' GAD! Am I that bothered. No, not really! I'm proud of the one I won. It's not the GAD's that draw me to these forums anyways. It's the gamin' banter. A great place to voice your opinions and to tell people talkin' pap, that that's what they're talkin'!

Right at the start of using these forums I talked about how I was gonna go to uni and do a degree in computer games, so that I can get a job in the games industry. Well I'm almost there. About 6 weeks from the end of my second year now. So just one more year to go before I start applying for jobs at gamin' firms. Rare obviously going to be my first port of call! :D I think I'm gonna have what it takes to make it big! I'm gonna try my damn hardest to make a name for myself, like the LEGEND Shigeru Miyamoto!

Anyways, I better stop me jabberin'! Probably stopped makin' sence already!

:)

Oh, one last thing. I'm gonna fight to make it so that people over 1000 days old, go sommin' like Platinum for their name colour! Thought it'd be kinda cool!

:D

Crikey!

If I hadn't seen this, I'd have thought you'd only been here for 400-ish days!

He's been registered that long?!

Damn, he goes to my school, heh...came here a few times when he heard about GAD, tried to get me in trouble a bit and then buggered off again..

I'll poke him around to make an appearance some time...think it was him that told me about SR, always used to rave about them..

Just cos a game ain't out in the UK doesn't mean the rest of the world doesn't have it!

Well, my TH3 review was a preview of Tricky, and it won.

It was before Tricky came out.

That wasn't what I meant. I meant, how could he write a review of which he surely couldn't know much about? (ill stop now before this looks like I'm berrating his good review) :)

You can write reviews for games that are on the database, even if they are not out yet.

This game was obviously on the database.
