Yes people, today marks my first year anniversary at Gamespot :D
Many a things have happened since I first joined GameSpot, and I remember it all like it was yesterday (including yesterday :P).
I remember first joining. It was like a whole new experience, and I was really excited. I didn't know what to do first, so I just checked around, and I managed to find out that we could create reviews for games, and my attention was immediately caught. I wrote around 10 reviews in the space of 3 days or so, but, it's nothing to be proud of when I think about it now, seeing as they were spam reviews.
Yes, I was one hell of a noob back in the day, I even consider myself a spammer back then, but the past is the past, and I've changed...for the best.
I then remember stumbling upon the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time forums. Boy, was I excited! I started posting in every topic, regardless of whether they were any good, but then I found the perfect topic for me, named "Our own Legend of Zelda World". The topic was where you chose a character from the LOZ world or created your own, and along with other people, we just made a little story out of it all. It was mainly funny, and I still remember most of the jokes in it (i.e Green Link being beaten up all the time :P).
After a while, I decided to go around Gamespot more, and somehow, I found the Union's, my first ever one being the Final Fantasy Union, which is now a crappy Union run by spammers because all the good Officers left. After that, I joined the Legend of Zelda Union.
Not much really happened during the course of November (after I joined both Union's), I joined a few other Union's, good friends left (including Pangai_Noon, one of the coolest guys ever, who has sadly forgotten us all :() etc etc.
It wasn't until the 29th of December (2006) that everything in my GS life flared up in excitement, because that was the day I sent out charter invites for my Union, The Legend of Fantasy. One day later, the Union started up, and everything was just bliss. At that time, of course, I was still a spammer, and as expected, the Union went downhill as well.
Then, sometime in January, darksword1123 informed me of what he thought was going to happen to the Union if we didn't get our act together. This hit me hard, and thankfully, it was hard enough to make me change everything about the Union (making it a professional Union), and surprisingly, I turned myself around as well, promising myself to stop the spamming and disruptive posting.
Well, now just look at me, using perfect grammer adn nt hvng a sgle smap pots!11shift+backspace :P.
Another special event today is that it's the one year anniversary of one of my favourite Union's, Eminent Haven, the best general gaming Union out there.It's run by a good friend named JAG_ROGUE (I like to call him Jaggy Paggie Daggy :P), so check it out.
Well, that's all I have to say, I guess, I'll see you all later :)
