Finally got my ID tonight... I claimed : power_peach so anyone who wants to be friends I'll be glad to have you.  I am getting used to things and in the next few days I should have my first Wii U game.

Hmm this post seems to make me think...

"Does my speech change from online to in-person?"

Well when it comes down to it.. Yes it does, but not for the reasons of it being Synthetic.. If anything my speech online is more articulate than in real life because of the ability to convey my thoughts easier, as well as put it into grammatical context easier. I suffer from various flaws due to a learning disability, so when it comes to online interactions I am able to put forth a stronger foot to state my meanings directly; although deep down it is the way I wish i was. This is a very appreciated thread to be honest that I would'nt want butchered because it is a nice topic to keep us thinking... Who is the real us and what does virtuality really do to the core principals in one's life.. Does it steer us in the right direction or does temptation and other factors mislead us to put on a persona that is contrary to how we truly live. Does a gay man put on football gear on his avatar to make him be percieved as straight? and Masculine.. Sociologically speaking this topic is quite juicy and honestly I think that we all need to step back and not just look at speech but do the "mannerisms" change as well.. Does virtuality even change the Ego and the ID of the person to make it so their embodiment to the virtual name or creation becomes a finer line in the grand scheme to where our virtuality is ourselves and thus losing our real perspective on what our goals and virtues in life truly are.

My first gaming system was the "Sega Genesis" i was handed down the NES from my uncle when he moved out of the house. I remember it was 1988 when I got the system because I came down with Pneumonia that winter and my uncle bought me the "genesis" as a present to get well and ever since then I have been a gamer ever since and played over 100 titles for it and stupidly sold it to buy a "PS2" to play what else but Final Fantasy X then ended up getting a game cube later on and not really feeling it I ended up addicting myself to the PS2 with such titles as Baulder's Gate: Deadly Alliance and Xenosaga Series (which to this day i will hold dear to my heart) and still own it thank god. However, if anything i always been a "gaymer" not just a gamer XD but that was my first system.

Welcome to the boards Prmtyme!

I will have to take you up on your friend request when I get the chance, might be awhile but then again life waits for no one

Hryo! I love your username! Peach is the best princess out there! I played all the systems a while back, but now I'm really just into Nintendo. Nintendo offers the best experiences out all the gaming companies. There is hardly ever a Nintendo game that I don't like.

So what kind of games are you into?

I am into various games.. I am still considering which one to get on tuesday when my credit card clears.... I am torn right now between Nintendo Land, Mario, or Skylanders because I wanted a game that i can communicate with the community but also be able to perhaps be more interactive. I am still new with the community and tried to ask around and got various responses but given that I am waiting on my student loan deferrment to process and be clear for 2013 and end next year, I am trying to be choosy in which games has the lasting value... Its hard given the economy but I hope to make lasting purchases so that when I do find a game i really like for the U i can afford it.

Well it only costed me 17.11 but I ended up buying the 8GB system .. Im still sitting through the system update after 30 minutes but I am happy to have the baby home and able to play the wii games at least.  I will not be getting any "U" games until my credit card payment clears.  However, at least now i can establish a U name and get used to mii verse and such before buying the games .. My trade-ins came to 278 but the irony... my Anime games sold the highest out of my whole collection! XD Anime FTW!

Thank you for the warm welcome

I hope my introduction wasnt too long..  I like to give an overall about myself but apparently i guess it is a bit much for the community and for that I apologize, sometimes its hard to gauge people's reactions to things especially online, but anyways I hope more people respond because I would hate to feel alone in such a wonderful community.  Anyways i hope to get the wii U soon and make new friends

Hi everyone

Well the time has come to introduce myself....  (this time without writing a novel as I always do )

My name is Jason and although I was unfortunate to not buy the wii U when it was released (despite my pre-order) I am within the next few weeks tweaking my budget around so that I can trade in my "PS3" for this system.  I know that PS3 has its perks but when it comes down to it,  Nintendo is where I was raised on aside from Genesis and it would be a betrayl to continue down the path in which Sony has brought me.  I have spent thousands on add ons and content and have nothing to show for it yet I look at our Wii in the bedroom and I think about the time I ran 10.6 Miles on "Walk it out" or the funny times I had playing "You dont know Jack" and the countless hours of getting through "Chocobo's Dungeon" and who could forget the lovely time with "Final Fantasy Tides of Time".  I missed out on alot while playing my PS3 and even Skyrim isnt worth keeping PS3 around because like a user said on here..  Sony could be going down hill...  While I still have the system I hope to meet friends on here who can give some objective on what I should do.  I hope to make new friends and enjoy the company of old friends (once I am settled) it all comes down to making a name for myself here and engaging in new experiences.

While my introduction may be unique in its presentation, I am happy to be here as I feel that Nintendo is home for me.  If anything thanks to Nintendo I was able to lose close to 30lbs and it certainly brings my partner and I together.  Its nice to say that I turned 29 a week ago or so and realize that nintendo has one of the best communities out there to date, and being here I hope to spread this joy around.  If you ever need a friend I am certainly here.  Anyways, I am glad to be here and hope to meet new people and share good times.  As time progresses I will release my Wii U network name and attached is a photo of Eric and I in Maui, HI  where we spent 12 days from Dec. 20th - Jan 1st of last year.  I am on the right (with the glasses) and I do this because I like showing people that behind that console really beats the heart of a caring community member
