Well as some of you know, but most of you don't, I left Gamespot roughly 6 months ago without looking back. Well for any of you that care or just stumbled across my profile, he is my updates as of now. I got divorced from my "true love", aka the $250 paperweight, aka my Nintendo Wii. I have not played SSBB since the day after launch and there isn't much to hold me with Nintendo. My DS finally stopped working when the top screen so whimsically sprang itself from it's lower half. I got myself a PS3 to which I spent a good few hours on Resistance. My PSP sadly is used for music and the web browser drastically more than games. But most importantly, over the last 6 months, I found true love in the one place I'd sworn to never look. Yes, I am a World of Warcraft fan. I have a full s2 70 tauren hunter named Dandaru on Laughing Skull and I'm currently working on my rogue Ludacritz on the same server. Feel free to whisper me or look up my toons on the wow armory. I see a lot has happened union-wise and whatnot. Drop a comment and fill me in on some things if you have a minute.

I have made the decision to leave Gamespot... forever.

I know most of you won't even care lol but I have just found myself coming to this site just to participate in GameFaqs forums. I had a good run with unions and I have made quite a few friends. I have learned so much about games, systems, and graphic designing in my year and a half here.

When I first joined last year I posted 20+ times a day reaching level 6 in less than 5 days. That was when i started up the Nintendo Players Union with Widger5000 and Famiconman (both inactive today haha). That union quickly grew and my level just kept going up.

Then I joined the Evolution of Nintendo Union ran by REVOLUTIONfreak. I did'nt post much for weeks but then I became active and was promoted. I had a short run as officer there until I regretfully resigned.

While I was still a noob here I stumbled accross the Image Editing Union. I became quite active there and found out how to use photoshop (quite well might I add haha). After that I went to Remix Designs and met serbsta, 3abden and a few others.

They made their own union, Graphic Studio. I became active there and was promoted to officer. This is where I really developed and got much better on Photoshop.

After a while I resigned there and due to complications in my personal life, I resigned as leader of the then 500 member strong Nintendo Players Union.

I took a break from Gamespot and tried running my own site for a few months. But I can admit it was a terrible idea and I found myself crawling back a few months later.

I have started a few other unions, Nintendo Designs, Sublime Artistry, Nintendosoft and the Guitar Hero/ Rock Band Union (which i recently resigned as leader) but nothing can compare to the original NPU.

I have made some friends, a few enemies, and I have had some fun here at Gamespot. But unfortunatley there isn't enough here to keep me active now.

Goodbye everyone.

Lately I've been noticing how much Nintendo has basically screwed all us fans over. I remember the days pre-Wii (heh) when I would go to all the gaming websites and watch the same videos over and over, or read the same previews over and over, just so excited to finally wait in line for hours to get my hands on the seemingly mythical Nintendo Wii.

I got the Wii and with much anticipation I set it up and played through Twilight Princess. The whole time I was thinking how awesome it was and how awesome the Wii was.

I get done with Twilight Princess and the Wii sits in my room for literally months unplayed. I'm just thinking wait for the good games to come out, don't worry they will come out you just have to give it time. I was partially right, mostly not.

While you do have Super Mario Galaxy (easily in my top 10 favorite games from Nintendo) and Guitar Hero 3 (even if it is third party) there is really virtually no other games I see worth $50 for the Wii at this point. Next year I will have Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart but after that, what?

And the DS... don't get me started on the DS.

I got one when Mario Kart DS came out, the red DS bundle. I played Mario Kart and AC:WW mercilessly. But then after that it too sat untouched for months until Pokemon and New Super Mario. And I put over 200 hours into Pokemon (I know I know) and I played it until my DS Lite broke in half (you think that is a joke but I can assure you it is not).

Now? I sits cold in my room, Scotch taped together, God knows what game in it, basically dead. I use it to check the time more often than I use it to play games.

I grew up on Nintendo. One of my earliest memories is Super Mario World. I remember at 6 going to Toys "R" Us and looking at Crash Bandicoot and saying "Super Mario 64 is better than this game". I remember sleeping outside of Toys R Us in the freezing cold when I was 9 with my brother and my dad in line to get the Gamecube. And most importantly I remember saving months of little scraps of money I could put together to make the biggest purchase of my life so far, the Nintendo Wii.

Nintendo is slowly drifiting farther and farther away from me and millions of other people just like me to, seemingly, everyone else in the world.

I now own a PS3, and very soon a PSP. I find myself at the forums of PSP and PS3 games much more than I do any Nintendo game.

I know most likely only 9 people, 9 people out of 6 almost 7 billion people will read this, but if one of those people was a loyal Nintendo fan in need of an awakening I would be satisfied.

Thank you Nintendo, for all the time I've spent playing all the classics. Thank you for all the fun Holidays when the only things on my wishlist were from Nintendo. Thank you for being a part of my childhood.

But most importantly, thank you for abandoning all of your true and faithful Nintendo fans so a few families around the world can enjoy each others company for 15 minutes every now and then.
