In recognition of Aaron Scott

In recognition of Aaron Scott

Some of you may not have read the Dominion Post, Wellingtons local paper, this morning but for those of who who did you would have seen a title called: "Gamers exercising the mind and body" with a picture of our very own Aaron Scott jumping around with a Wii ;D


 

I'm not going to put the article up, the scary copyright people scare me! But to sum it up, it turns out the average gamer is fitter than the average citizen, now how about that? It features a one Mr. Scott, saying how the gamer sterotype of the little kid eating pizza is dissapering as video games become more intergrated into our culture. Now it may be that someone beat me to congratulate you Aaron, in which case I'm sorry, but from me, thanks for bringing the average gamer closer to the light of cultural acceptance :D


 

For any of you who do not live in Wellington, and would like a copy of the article, just e-mail me at divine_plan@hotmail.com and I'll send a scan your way.

Is that the force unleashed you were playing? If so, what's with the jump? Did they ask you to jump for the picture?

Is that the force unleashed you were playing? - Yes it was, and with the jump, it's the special move, the special move that ensures you make an idiot of yourself in a national paper.

I saw the article on Stuff last night, I'm assuming it's the same thing:

No picture though, and that clearly is the highlight!

Lol, check out the poor graphics and same-thing-we-played-in-the-eighties gameplay.

I doubt he was having fun at all. Surely they photoshopped that Wiimote into your hand?
