Ok, first of all, my first blog in quite a while. YAY? No, no YAY...Too bad I'm quite annoyed at the moment.

Why? Well, two of my three definite buys for next March are having beta key giveaways. Should be a good thing, right? Well, it would be if I were able to get any beta keys.

The C&C4 Beta Key Giveaway

Only available to Total Access members. Not too surprised about that, but it's still damn annoying when a beta that I'd love to participate in is only available to subscribers.

Plus, I missed competitions on the C&C4 site to win a key. Doubt there'll be another opportunity.

The Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Beta Key Giveaway

At the moment, the only way to get a beta key is if I lived in NA or EU. This beta is what I've been waiting for, and Australia doesn't get anything.

All I know is, that keys are only available from North American pre-orders, and the beta key giveaway here on GS is only for the US. If there's anything more frustrating than this, I don't know of it.

I guess my only option, for now, is to pre-order both and see if I can get a key for either, if not both.

Well, for some reason, viveck and skyy can't, cos it says they're in/affiliated with 30 unions, but it doesn't look like they are.

And ss4broly has accepted a charter member position in the last 30 days.

Still going ahead with the other 4 guys, and I'll have to invite skyy, viveck and ss4broly when the union is up and running.

The Terminator Union

Offers are still open for charter members. Up to 5 more spots waiting to be filled.

...

Well, I'm thinking about getting the band back together...

OK, no, I'm not, but I'm thinking about starting yet another union, hopefully more successful than my last.

As you can tell, it's "The Terminator Union", and will focus on discussion about the 3 released movies, the upcoming Terminator Salvation and its sequels (if it's successful, which I hope it is), and The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Just making the blog in advance so I can find out who is interested in joining so I can make the preparations for its creation.

Is my new blog pic any good? Tried something new out, and not quite sure if I even like how I did it.

Oh yeah, and 100th blog, too! YAY
