The Official Off-Topic Lounge: Wii Version

Contrary to popular belief, my name is not Bob Newman. I chose it because it is the most average name you can find, while my real name is quite the opposite. I'm not comfortable revealing it, mainly because I have a lot of enemies and the Protection Agency reccomends me keeping myself anonymous. Lets just say that I made a big mistake during a foul ball at a Cubs game a few years ago. :|

Anyway, I'm 22, I'm from Vancouver (That's in Canada, if you didn't know), I'm in college, and I live with my girlfriend who likes videogames (but sucks at them). She's a trooper, even though I beat her at every game we play...ok, she beat me at Mario Party once, but that's it, I swear.

Now, to get Off-Topic (as this is what this thread is for), I'll talk about the holidays.

I think this is my first year that I'm not asking for any videogame-related presents as I have what I need right now...that's a lie, I'm getting a Wii Points Card for Super Metroid and The Lost Levels. But I asked my girlfriend for a housecoat so I can officially look like a lazy bum while I play videogames. I don't even have to get dressed anymore! Hoorah!

What are you guys getting for Christmas (assuming you're celebrating it)?

Um...I'm Evan. Hey! I'm 21. I usually post on the DS forums here at Gamespot but I'm getting a Wii soon to add to the ridiculous amount of game systems I own (from 2600 to PS2). I've been playing video games since launch day of SNES and I've had it plugged in ever since.

I used to work at a concert hall and then at a silicone casting factory, currently unemployed(or currently bummed). My passion is music. I'm currently working on a solo metal project and I sing for an alternative rock band. I recently dropped out of music school in Hollywood, CA. I don't recommend anyone trying to live there...

Here's my Christmas: 26" flatscreen LCD HDTV mounted on my room wall.

HD Directtv.

Wii component cables

Xbox 360 elite, Mass Effect, Halo 3, CoD4, Gears of War as late Christmas gifts.

That's probably the best Christmas list ever. I'm jealous.

All I asked for was a DS. I'd love to have another next-gen console, but I just can't afford the games. I have a bad habit of buying games even when I really shouldn't, so adding another console to my collection would cost me way too much. Maybe if I can find a better job soon... We'll see.

How rich is your family?

My Christmas list is quite simple:

A Running Watch

A Heater for my room

GH3 or Radiant Dawn

A ukulele

And I might get my self some wii points, iff good games come out tomorrow.

I'd just like to say that I make fun of and mock my friends so if I mock you don't take offense.

Oh and also don't report me either because holy cow I have a rap sheet that is just freaking unbelieveable lol

I wish some of you could see my TOS warnings lol

'Sup? My name is Juan Carlos, 13 years old, and I have a Wii and a DS. My X-Mas list is pretty simple; just an electric guitar.

My christmas list is pretty simple. I'm going to Cuba for spring break this year so I'm getting a bit of money to help pay for it. Also, Super Mario Galaxy and Phantom Hour Glass. And most importantly,some multivitamins and ZMA.

On a side note, last night a friend and I invented a new drink. And I somehow managed to get kicked out of the only bar in town and lost my sweater in the confusion. Huzzah!

^ Awesome, hope you make it far!

I guess I'll say some more stuff about myself. I love Nintendo and Xbox as much as the next guy, hoping to get a 360 sometime. My favorite videogame series are Phoenix Wright, Resident Evil, Tales of..., Final Fantasy (hasn't been good since FF7 though), and The Sims. Love baseball. I pretty much like all kinds of music, metal, rock, punk, pop, jazz, blues.

i'm Luis i'm 17 years old , i a'm anintendo fan since 64 but my first console was a sega genesis, i play soccer (sometimes) , USED to play guitar and i'm a Real Madrid fan.

and btw i'm very happy with today's match :D

I'm Richard, 17, and have been atattending forums at Gamespotsince System Wars was good.......according to the nostalgics.

Whatcha guys doin for Xmas Eve? My family is coming from Pennsylvaina to stay with us :).

Can you say... WII BOWLING??

Whatcha guys doin for Xmas Eve?Sants412

Nothing special. Christmas Eve used to be awesome.... My mom's side of the family would come over, we'd have dinner and open gifts. But both of my great grandparents have died within the last ten years, one of my brothers and my aunt both moved to Florida and neither is visiting this year, and my other brother is spending Christmas Eve with his wife's family. So it's just me, my parents, and one set of grandparents. Nothing special.

Tomorrow will be more exciting. We have a big lunch with my dad's side of the family; he's the oldest of nine siblings, and they all have at least one kid. And all my cousins love gaming. Rock Band was a hit at Thanksgiving, the highlight being one of my six-year old cousins singing (mumbling, rather) Mississippi Queen. For dinner, we go to my mom's parent's house and have a good old fashioned Christmas dinner. Tomorrow will be special.

Wii Bowlong!!!! Dang, I messed it up.

I went shopping, baked chocolate chunk cookies then made a banana bread then made brownies then cooked some rice then I'm making stew right now.

For tomorrow I'll be playing games and posting on here. I like to call it "Tuesday usual" lol

Well mine are mostly accidents.

Like I never plan to go out and say "I'm sorry but I could find better remarks from the goats at the local petting zoo"

It's that the tone of a lot of my posts sometimes sound like I'm a jerk but I ALWAYS sound like a jerk lol

Plus some people make posts that cross your eyes. It's like "No they did NOT just post that" then you read it again and you're like "they did, they went out and posted that" Then I'm a smart alec and you don't see me post for 3 days lol

Thankfully the more I've been posting the more the Mods get used to my posting and understand that I don't mean offense like 99% of the time

Nice, an off topic lounge. Might as well put an introduction here.

My name is John, im (hopefully) know around here as movin_target. Im a 14 year old gamer that lives and grew up in Philadelphia. My favorite genres in gaming are First Person Shooters, RPGs, MMO games, Rythem games, Platformers, and Stealth games. Also I like rock music.

I dont wanna make it any longer than that so... thats it.

I've been suspended once. I have a pretty decent track record considering how long I've been here. Most of my violations happen in the Off Topic board where I usually think of something completely absurd and outrageous to post..and I figure if it crosses the line with a lot of people I'll slowly talk myself back into the norm. Sometimes though I just dig myself deeper, or just start off far too past the line.

m name is laurence and i live inaustralia. I'm a junior in high school and i like to chill with friends play sports n play video games...

btw just wondering... what's beingf "modded"? how do you get "modded"? how do i know if i've been "modded"? wtf's a rap sheet?
