Bye.

One year ago today I joined this place, I was so wide eyed by the sheer quantity of the forums and threads that I felt I'd get amongst the fanboys. Through all the madness however, I found a place of refuge, where the people were friendly and funny and the topics didn't change every second like in OT. I've spent a year within the virtual world of GSAU, my time here having its ups and downs, with more than a few disagreements and moderations. I've learnt new words and phrases, a year ago I would've thought a ROFLCOPTER was a South African military helicopter and been bewildered at the thought of an HnH.

Though when it comes down to it, it's the people that makes this place worth coming back to, the regulars, the noobs, the mods, all with their own unique personalities, who've all made my time here enjoyable or at the least memorable. This blog is for you, my friends, my enemies, the people who voted for me in the favourite member thread last year, the people who've made the film and tv discussion threads a place of intelligent and interesting discussion, the starters of controversial threads that end up with a 100 pages of back and forths, my fellow trophy hunters and the boys in the lounge, all of you, I thank you.

I'm not sure how many of you know this, but I'm onto my fourth 360, none of them were replacements, instead, when a console broke I'd get angry, sell all my games only to buy them all over again 6 months later. A horribly expensive way to be a gamer, but if I'm anything its impulsive and indecisive.

A fact many of you would probably be aware of by my comments on the forums is that I haven't played my current 360 console in something nearing 3 months now, despite having 30 more than functional games. My attention, since the beginning of this year has been completely on my PS3, now I'm not here to start a fanboy argument, these are just the facts of the matter.

On to the reason for this blog, while my 360 is still functional (I assume, I haven't turned it on in a long time it may have turned to dust inside ) I don't see the need for it anymore and as much as I hate to admit it, I think I could be happy with *gasp* one console. The 360 exclusives do nothing for me, Gears is tired and drab, Viva Pinata was fun for a minute and the less said about Halo the better. And there's not a single exclusive title on the horizon that I am looking to (except maybe Crackdown 2 but with it being MP focus, I'm less than enthusiastic). So now I wonder, would I be happier trading in my 360 and its games, for a bunch of PS3 games? Or should I just tough out this drought, and hope for a flood (though not of the Halo variety). Because one things for sure, I certainly don't want to be finding myself at EB in another 6 months, buying another 360...
