Hey Dee!
Welcome to the site, we're glad you're here! As far as tips go, it depends what you're looking for. What kind of gaming are you in to? 360, PS3, Portables, PC, etc?
Otherwise, the best things to do are:
- Introduce yourself (Congrats, you've already done it! Wasn't that easy?)
- If you've got a 360 and are looking for gamers with similar interests, head over to the Connecting/Post your Gamertag thread (found here) and post your gamertag so we know how to find you. Also, toss out some friend invites and/or look at some profiles to see who's playing what games and who you might have something in common with.
- Get in on the discussion! Don't be shy, we love new people and we like it when people get involved.
Thanks for registering. I think you'll be glad you did. There are some great people here. It's really laid back.
