Okay, so I am a couple days late, but Friday marks five years I've had this account with GameSpot. It took quite a while before I even got involved with the community features. When I originally made this account it was just so I could download trailers and demos and things like that. Then during one of my high school classes I was really bored and that's when I began to venture into the forums. I really have come to love the site, even though I may not always be happy with some events or review scores, but it's always been here for me and my gaming interests.

Here's to five years with GameSpot.

Man, those achievements are addictive. I've finally made it into the 10,000 point club with thanks to Condemned: Criminal Origins which I'm playing right now (awesome game, by the way). I don't know what it is about them, but they are a lot of fun to get. I still have more games to play and new ones on the way so you can be sure I'll keep racking up those points

So I was working today at GameStop and it was just a normal day like any other. Helping customers, selling games, etc. That is until a 6'5" woman came strolling into the store and asked me about Guitar Hero. She looked really familiar to me, but I wasn't sure where. Of course I started piecing things together once she walked in. Really tall and athletic, had an accent, and was really to throw down the money for a PS3 and Guitar Hero on a whim. Finally I realized it was Lauren Jackson of the WNBA team the Seattle Storm (I work in downtown Seattle if you haven't guessed already). I don't follow sports very closely, but I had seen her on the news and various sports reports before. She even holds several MVP awards. Apprently she also really likes Guitar Hero. Maybe not the biggest celebrity, but I thought it was a cool part of my day.

Though it's not the first time we've had a celebrity appearance in the store. Not too long ago we had a visit from Sig Hansen, captan of one the ships featured on the Discovery Channel show Deadliest Catch, but I wasn't in the store at the time, lol. Though he did sign some of our marketing for the upcoming game.
