I've used gamespot for at least 6 years and have lurked on the forums for almost as long. I'm only creating an account now because I miss the community. A lot of friends have stopped playing games. I myself have moved across the country and am currently without broadband and surviving on a tethered 3G connection, and without my 360 which is back home. Frankly, angry birds on my phone is not the same. My hope is by joining gamespot fully, engaging in the forums, picking up my 360 at Christmas and potentially building a gaming PC* I can regain that sense of community and fun I once had. Wish me luck heckteur *which will be my first, and have many a blog post
