I have every system released since regular nintendo and have been playing games since I was old enough to comprehend holding a controller properly. Some of you want to test games and can't even communicate properly. You think bad use of the english language is really going to get an agents attention? If you can't properly describe in writing where, when and how a bug shows up in a game then how do you expect the people making them to fix it? I play and beat and unlock everything in every game I play and then when I go through enough I go back and do it again. Think you're a gammer just because you sit on your ass all day? I never get bored no matter what game I play, platform, first person shooter, racing, RPG, adventure, puzzle, horror, family, sports, fighter, online, Dance/Music, EVERYTHING! I bet you say the ones you arn't good at you don't play because they are "boring". To think you so called gamers have been showed up by a female makes this so much more amusing. I have at least 90+ games per system excluding the newest ones naturally.
