So I'm obviously here for the giveaway but I'm definitely not here to spam.

When I saw how to enter the giveaway I almost didn't even bother. But then I was like ya know what? I wouldn't mind trying to join a new gaming community. It's been many years since I was active on a forum of any kind. I used to be active on a lot of forums but for me they eventually died out and turned into things like twitter, facebook (ew), and discord. I also post and read stuff on N4G all the time.

But I'm hoping this might be a new forum to be a regular part of. We'll see.

Honestly same. I don't remember ever participating in a forum before, and especially not the start of a forum. so... this will be a new experience, which is nice.

I'm here for a couple of reasons. The giveaway is one of them. The other is that I'm always looking for other perspectives on gaming. So a friend recommended the site to me.

I'm here for the giveaway for sure, but I also like to try to support Dtoid related sister sites whenever they pop up!

Oh god haha. I almost wonder if streaming tech could be used to replicate the feel of just putting a disk in and playing the game.

You could put a disk in or hit download, then immediately be offered the ability to boot up a streamed copy of a fully patched build of the game. Then when the local version is installed, it could seamlessly switch over to that.

Just spitballing. But that, to me, would be the ideal purpose of a game streaming service.

lol Cloud gaming man. PS Now, Stadia, I love it. It works real well where I live though. It has blown my mind since OnLive. I was a regular user of OnLive when it was around but nothing has been as good as it since it fell apart when it comes to the social aspects of what was OnLive's platform. I really do love the way cloud gaming works though. I wouldn't wanna be in an area where it sucks.

Hi again,

I have gotten caught up in politics on twitter and it has totally distracted me from posting here. I check in from time to time to see if there are any new posts I wanna comment on. Hope you're doing well.

Its actually nice being part of somting positive though I've never won any give away my whole life but it wouldn't hurt trying
Personally have been given quite a decent amount of free stuff such as a vape pen with cartridges etc so kinda hope someone that really has bad luck wins.
