I don't have my own blog or website, don't use twitter, and barely use facebook for anything non-personal, so I may as well just post why I should be there here.
Unfortunately, I can't become a follower of either twitter accounts since I hate twitter, and deleted the account that I used for like half a second a while ago, but I am a fan of Xbox Canada (Jared Alleyne).
I have been to every X event so far, from X'06 to X'08 and have a signed and framed picture from each (well... except X08 its signed, but not yet framed) drawn my Sinnix/Jeff Jenkins. I love the events, and the community that you get to meet at the events.
One of the biggest things that draw me to the X events, is being able to talk to the people who represent the games. I hope to become a game developer later in life, and me and a friend (Hadoken101, he should be posting here sometime soon because he wants to go too) are planning on starting to make small games with XNA this year.
I have been a part of these forums for about 3 years now, and have owned an xbox/live for around the same amount of time. I am a former ambassador (not exactly sure what happened, might have lost it when lots of others did because of a glitch, or may have just been because of my gamertag change). I may get in arguments a lot, but I generally try to keep them civil, and generally try to help people when I can.
I'm attempting to start writing reviews for games for xboxedge.com (if you're reading this, I know my review is really really late, I've been really busy with school starting though), and spend most of my time at home on my xbox.
I guess thats all I can really say about myself. I eat, sleep, and breath videogames. If there was a way to inject videogames directly into my veins, I probably would.

Hopefully My mom (I gave her the gears print to get it framed because she had some other things she had to bring in anyways) can find the print signed by both Cliffy B, and Jeff Jenkins, so that i can have it up on the wall with my other two.
On a side note, personally I don't think that the current selection process is the best idea. First come first serve seems to be the most fair to me. If you want to find the most die hard fans, they'll be the ones checking these forums every 5 minutes to get new information about this event. They'll be the ones messaging those in charge to try and find any new information about it. I understand the need for a good selection process, but I think first come first serve is the most fair way to do it. Either way, I hope I'm selected to come to the event. I have two other friends who really would like to come to this (puffwheatpete, and Hadoken101), and hopefully they'll be posting shortly.
Last thing I can say... I have a fro, and everyone knows you can't say no to the fro!
Topic? What topic?
