Gamer Santa, you really need to check this out!

It is too expensive being a Latin American gamer, why don't you give me a hand this year, oh dear gamer Santa?

Dear Gamer Santa, I hope you’re doing great, yet again…you’re a gamer…and you’re SANTA!!

I want to let you know that in here, you’re being missed quite a lot; as you might (or might not) know, being a gamer in Latin America isn’t that easy with all the extra taxes we get on our beloved gaming consoles and PC parts, as well as games and so on! You really need to come over here and see it by yourself, some of those taxes are simply insane!

You know I’ve been a low-budget gamer my entire life, and little by little I’ve been moving up, working hard to get where I want to! Sadly…I’m no Agent 47, nor 007 for that matter!

Anyways! You know I’ve never been asking for too much, and well, you know that isn’t because I didn’t want much (hahaha!) and yes, I know that you’ll be having a really tough season this time, with all those kids (and grown ups) asking you for a lot thanks to the launch of the next-gen consoles from Sony and Microsoft, and the plenty of new games that this will carry, but why don’t you help a fellow gamer a bit?

You know, a lot of people are fighting over which console is better, I don’t. I prefer my good old laptop, and even when I can’t run absolutely any game at full graphics or anything, and even with the lowest settings I lag, I’m happy with it, but I’ve always wanted to be able to game without lag, and to be able to see what the developers worked so hard to build in its entirety, I’m for sure not the only one, but hey! At least I’m coming here to let you know about it!

Well, if I could ask you for absolutely anything, I’d really go for my very own Pokemon, but that wouldn’t be realistic, would it?

So, I guess it’ll be better to go with something more plausible, and my dream is to get an actual gaming desktop, with all those little perks they have, you know about them, don’t you? The gaming mice, amazing keyboard, some top notch headset…oh I could go all day with these things!!! But I’d be happy with a desktop that can run games with more detail without lagging, that’d make me happy! And you for sure know I’d get it, but I seriously can’t afford them, which is kind of sad.

But hey! If you can get me a Pikachu, I won’t be mad at all…just saying!

So, as it is a tradition, I must tell you that I’ve been a good guy during this year, that I remember, I haven’t done anything “wrong”, or at least not that bad to even remember about it…have I? Been working my a$$ off in order to bring some money to keep my home and mother going, tried to help anyone that I could…and most of all, I’ve been gaming every day, whenever I have the time, and when not, I’m writing about gaming!

And now I ask you, what does it take for you to check over here and come over to have a chat, and if I’m lucky, get some hand from you in order to build my own gaming rig?

Sincerely,

The low-budget gamer that goes by the name of JohnHeatz!
