Bit of a downer this week. This doesn't really count as news, well it's news if you're interested in me, which you know, you probably aren't but it is gaming related and it's a Sunday so here you go.
The lovely, kind, caring Editor of Eurogamer, Kristan Reed, sent me a rather enticing PM. It read:
Hi Mike,
|
| I've just had Ubisoft alert me to this one-off trip. Interested?
|
|
| "I’ve got the chance to send a single community member from the Eurogamer
| forums to Montreal to see and play Assassin’s Creed next week, meet Jade
| Raymond, and generally have a hell of a trip. Can you think of someone on
| your forum who has got a high post count, is well respected/liked, and is
| likely to really enjoy playing AC that I can bring along? We’ll cover all
| costs and stuff. The visit is going to be next week so we need to move asap
| on this."
Wow. Meet JADE RAYMOND and play Assassins Creed early, write my first impressions for Eurogamer and MEET JADE RAYMOND!!
I informed Kristan Reed that I live in Denmark but I would fly to London, meet with Ubi and go and see JADE RAYMOND!!! (and maybe play a bit of Assassins Creed).
However, Ubisoft then withdrew their offer as I didn't live in the UK. Although I'm a British citizen with a British Passport and was willing to fork out for a flight to London, I couldn't go.
However, Ubi will make amends by sending me a 'goody bag' (not Jade I hope) so I'll let you know what swank I receive and as when it turns up.
That's it really.
:(
