Hey guys last night my college had an EA rep come and he did a little party showing off SSX Blur and Tiger Woods 07.  He had a free drawing I ended up winning SSX Blur (which im loving btw).  I posted this to give a heads up to other college students to look for EA to come to their campuses.

Only MS seeems to ever come to our campus. I think Blizzard should too since their headquarters is practically located inside our campus.

That's so awesome!!!!  I guess you live in California then?

 How's SSX?  I'm really looking forward to it...confused at first when I heard it was coming out, cuz I thought EA had its policy about not continuing games that don't sell 1 million copies.  Is it as distracting as the 3rd game?  I mean like, how in the 3rd one everything is so pretty on the screen I can't focus on any one thing, haha :P

If you are talking about UCI, I believe Blizzard are completely phased out of the University Research Park now. I remember Nintendo came by and they let us play Smash Bros, but they were not giving out any games like EA.

You do not have to be a Computer Scientist or a Digital Arts major to be involved in something like this. A lot of times out of the blue anything can happen on a university campus. The sad part is, the groups do not come unannounced, they just come by and you just have to be lucky enough to walk by and see them. An easy way to put it is, its a complete surprise.

For everyone wondering yes I do live in the US and no im am not studying anything related to gaming.  Alpax is right though I found out the day of they were going to do this it was like completely random it seemed (couple of signs posted day of event).  So I decided to go and lo and behold I won a copy of Blur. 

Anyways I am actually loving the game so far.  When you first start playing your probably going to want to kill yourself do to the controls but it was like learning how to ride a bike.  Right now the controls are natural to me.  The only thing I have left to master are the Ubertricks (The practice thing helps) and I can already nail the easy ones 95% of the time. 

P.S. I hope they continue to do this around other campuses it was a really nice opertunity to try out SSX Blur and Tiger Woods.

They just came with 4 TVs and system setups with Melee and Mario Kart. No prizes or anything special, it is just people taking turns playing 4 player Free-for-All. nVidia came by the same day as well. At best they were giving out PC case decals and stickers. But still, I was surprised they were there on a Friday afternoon (in which most people ditch classes).

omg, they're gone from there now?! :shock: Nuts. I wonder where they've gone off to now. Oh wells... hopefully ESC is still putting on Smash Bros competitions in the lecture halls. :)
