Check it out, I've been on gamespot.com for one year. Pretty awesome huh. And in that time I've bought a Wii and DS lite. I've played heaps of awesome games, talked about em with some awesome people online and had lots of fun. Some great union I've been apart of include the Nintendo Players Union and The Nintendo Online Community. I've had some great times at these unions but unfortunatly I can't contribute as much as I used to these unions anymore simply because I'm a busier kid than I used to be.

I've also led two unions, The Nintendo Reviewers Union and The Virtaul Console Union (formerly the Nintendo 64 Union). These union aren't as active as some others but that's expected when they only have around 100 members. I'll unfortunatly be resigning as leader from both these unions in the coming weeks but it's for the best, so they can move forwards with a new leader.

Some people I feel I should acknoledge include:
Radsnake:I've known this guy for a fair while on gamespot. He led the Nintendo Players Union not long ago (and did a mighty fine job of it). Thanks for all you've done for me on gamespot Rad, making sigs and stuff, just chattin about whatever... it's all good.
Nintendo_Man: It's great to have a fellow Australian leading one of the unions I'm apart of. NM does a great job as the current leader of The Nintendo Players Union. He knows where to get all the good info and sometimes gives me a heads-up when some good deals are happenin down under
Yearofthesnake5: This dudes a freakin legend, he's done so much for The Nintendo Reviewers Union. Always writing articles, mass inviting etc. He's made my job as leader so much easier, thanks heaps man.
lebanese_boy: I haven't been talkin to LB as much anymore as I haven't been around The Nintendo Online Community as much... I'm not sure if he knows this but when I first came to gamespot I used LB as my 'mentor' sorta, lol. I thought of him as a great leader of the union I was most active in back then. He's a great dude too, and he's not too bad at MKDS either
slinky6: Slinky's alot of fun, I've played MKDS with him a few times which is always good for a challenge. He's been an officer in both my unions which is great and shows how hard he works for something that isn't such an important thing. He's a great dude...

Ah well there you go, thanks for everything people.

As some of you may be aware I made a promise to myself not to buy any games till the 20th of September (my birthday and release of Super Paper Mario in AUS). I did this pretty much because I've been spending all my money on games recently, such as Resident Evil 4 and Guitar Hero II.

Anyway, my first purchase since my promise (which i made on the date of my last blog post)was a digital camera. This one to be exact

For all those people out there interested in photography it's a Nikon S50, has 7.2 megapixels and 10x optical zoom. The optical zoom is all internal which means when your zooming in the lenses dont go out from the camera.

Pretty cool huh

Cya round.

I thought I'd give in to Guitar Hero's popularity so I bought Guitar Hero II today. Gotta say it's an awesome game, I'm pretty damn bad at it though. I guess I'll get better There are some awesome songs on the game and it's good fun playing it. Once you get into the rythm it feels good I suggest you buy it if you haven't already. I just wanted to try it out before it came out on the Wii.

I also bought Resident Evil 4 for the Wii a week or two ago, actually haven't played it yet so Guitar Hero and RE4 should keep me quite busy for a while! So busy in fact that I'm not buying any games till 20th September this year, which is the release date of Super Paper Mario here in Oz and also my birthday! I'll probaby buy a VC game or two by then but apart from that no Wii, DS or PS2 games! Until 20th of September anyway...how's that for an oath!

In other news...I got my emblem for watching Microsofts E3 conference today which I guess is good. Bit late but it's better late than never! Thanks to the techies for getting onto that one

Thanks people, cya round.
