All this orange!
The deal maker was a review on Mass Effect 2 that I wanted to comment, but couldn't without an account. So I damn well made one.

I was visiting gamespot before I even joined. So, I decided to give being a member a try.

I wanted to insult some people because they had opinions that differed to my own, but by the time I realised that wasn't allowed it was too late; I couldn't find my way back out so i'm stuck here.

I browsed the PS3 GTA IV forums for about two years and then I thought "This looks like some fun ****." Thus, Iceozo was born.

It was actually when the original Kingdom Hearts was about to come out. I was so psyched about it that I followed every piece of news on it. Then well I found the site fun and signed right up. Ahhh the memories. That takes me back.

I just wanted to have a place to talk about video games (initially, at least) and since I used this site for cheats and game info all the time, it seemed like the right fit.

[QUOTE="KrunkMastaX"]So you WERE a guy at first? :oSigh_han

Lol. That makes me sound like i've had a sex change. He was never on forums or anything. He would just come on here to look at videos that needed a birthdate to watch. He used my email though, and i would come on here to watch trailers too.. so i was atleast... umm.. a hermaphrodite of sorts :lol:

Lol ohh I see. Im sticking to my sex change theory though. :P

I was looking around for a place where I could post the reviews for the "retro" games I play. Gamespot holds the best support for that, has the best interface AND the best posting policy. Thanks GS.

I lurked in System Wars for quite a while before I joined and the more I lurked, the more I realised how demented some people and their arguments were. They had to be set straight. It was my duty to call them out. I had to join GameSpot and make everything right once and for all.

I first came for the cheats for SNES games, I was having a relapse into playing them again, back in 2007. I signed up slightly later to recommend Professor Layton to a puzzle game lover in a thread in the DS forums.

I was searching popular forums for information posted by members which I stored in a database. Things like date of birth, resident location and hopefully they got some decent pics of themselves. I made topics to fish the information sometimes such as where they work and what college do they attend. I also make some topics about banks in the hope one of them tells me they also have dealings with that particular bank which I make sure to note down. Find out if they drive or catch a bus, work out the routes from their place of work/study to the estate they live in.

I forgot why exactly... I think I was looking for some DS information and found out you have to register first in order to participate in the discussion. I did, then found Off-Topic Discussion pretty funny. So I stuck around after getting whatever it is I initially needed.

I heard you had to register to write reviews... but when I joined it turned out I couldn't write reviews just yet (I could've registered for GS Complete but my parents wouldn't let me use the Internet as a medium for buying anything... understandable given how often people get ripped off via this medium) so I figured I'd post in the forums instead. I don't remember what my first posts were like, but I do recall that this is how I was introduced to webforums in the first place...

Think I found GS through a random game search, then I kept coming back for reviews and stuff, then I stumbled across the forums and decided it would be a good way to pass some time :)
