Platform Nation’s 1st Ever “Community Member of the Month” is…

No not me… I tried but just couldn’t give it to myself.

So without further ado… Platform Nation’s Community Member of the Month is…

TeeTocks .. and the crowd goes wild.

As you can see by the 50k+ gamerscore he is a serious gamer. He as been a P*N forum member since November of 2006 (P*N Forum Profile). Please go leave a comment on his profile Congratulating him and while your there check out TeeTocks special Officer Status and motto.

TeeTocks is also known as Scott, to his none gaming community family, and is an oldie at 32, but we can’t hold that against him…

I asked TeeTocks a few questions so the rest of us could get to know him a little better and his answer’s follow:
1. When did you start gaming? What consoles do you currently have? are looking to get? What game genres you like the most?
Started gaming when I was 5. Started on the Intellivision and Atari, then eventually the NES and Sega Gen, then went to PC. Took a break from gaming for a couple of years of college until I went to a Halo LAN party and got sucked back into it. So bought an xbox and 360 later. Currently the only console I have is 360, plan to get a Wii and a DS. I want a PS3 eventually but am waiting for more games to come out and for the price to go even more down…hopefully. Like all game types but tend to gravitate towards FPS’s the most.

2. What are you currently playing? What are you looking forward to in 2008?
Currently playing: Halo 3, the BIGS (trying to finish some acheivements), and recently got back on a Rainbow Six Vegas kick.
Looking forward to in 2008: Super Smash Bros Brawl, Burnout Paradise, Condemned 2, MLB 2k8, R6V 2, Ninja Gaiden 2, I could go on forever so I’ll stop here.

3. How did you come to join our great Platform Nation community?
start at a show and migrate here: Found XBLRadio on iTunes after hearing about podcasts, can’t remember what episode but eventually through the gaming nights and forums got involved with the community. So I brought my Goodwill furniture and moved into the forums where it smells like Lemon Pledge and donuts. He seriously said that, I didn’t have to pay him to plug XBLR…

In TeeTocks closing he wants us to know: Thanks to the community for nominating me, I’m humbled by the gesture. Also, thanks to the staff for recognizing members of the community and helping to bring this community together. If I could I’d get everyone here fluffy puppies and coconuts.

I’ll sure take a fluffy puppy, but don’t like coconuts so much. Plus you won the award so you get the prize…

For TeeTock’s contribution he is going to receive $20 in Xbox Live points as per his choice.

We are going to be doing this monthly (hopefully weekly in future) but to get in on the action all you have to do is be an active member of Platform Nation. Post on the main blog page, the individual show’s blog page, and/or in the forums and you to could be a Platform Nation Community Member of the Month…

No More $50-$60 games? Lets hope so.

Could this be true, well, according to one person this has to happen, or else the entire gaming industry will suffer.

During an interview, the CEO of EA (John Riccitiello), had this to say about the prices of video games as he tells Fortune magazine this past Wednesday:

“In the next five years, we’re all going to have to deal with different pricing models“, Riccitiello Said.  Then he said “In China, they’re giving games away for free. People who benefit from the current model will need to embrace a new revenue model, or wait for others to disrupt.”  He also stated that EA will experiment with different pricing models over the next decade, with things such as Online Advertising, in an effort to remain competitive in a changing game landscape.

As being the gamers that we are, I want to ask you a couple of questions about this:

Do you agree with what Riccitiello said, that something has to be done, or else the entire industry will suffer, or do you think things are just fine as they are?

Will the idea that he has actually work, and will he actually go through with it, or is it just some bs we are being fed by a CEO to make us feel better as gamers, and to make him look good in the public eye?

Either way, no matter what he says, we as gamers need our games to not only be affordable, but to also be of good quality.  With the amount of money it takes to make a decent game these days, this is a hard thing to do.  If gamers deserve the best though, shouldnt we get the best for what we can afford?  Just something to think about my fellow members of the nation.

Until next time, this is B4 signing off.
Take care,
B4
