My First Loot Crate – Gamer Geek Goodies

Its no secret I am a gamer and I am a very proud geek, so when I discovered a website a few months ago that promised to send me epic gamer geek goodies every month I was ecstatic… until I realized that they don’t ship to Jamaica. So for month and months I wished and hoped that one day I would have a loot crate to call my own, that day has finally come. But before I go into that.

What is Loot Crate?

In a nutshell Loot Crate is a monthly subscription service where you spend about US$20 including shipping on a box filled with geek/gamer loot under a particular theme. With a subscription comes a chance to win a “Mega Crate” a $250 treasure trove that bound to give the lucky recipient one of the most memorable geekgasms.

For the life of me I am unable to beat Guile’s top score in Space Invaders. Can you?

Which Crate did I get?

My first and only loot crate so far is the April 2013 crate which was under the theme “Token”. In it I got a few items that reminded me of the good old days of the video game arcade. Items covering Space invaders, Street Fighter, an arcade token, Mario and candy. I liked my first loot crate but I honestly think it could have been a little better, however for $20 plus an extra $5 to have a courier ship to me in Jamaica I cannot complain. I am already looking forward to May 2013’s loot crate which seems to be RPG related and under the theme “Equip”.

  1. I remember playing with game tokens at the arcade. This seems like a pretty good service. It’s sort of like playing a gamer’s lottery, but no one goes home empty handed. I’m about to move to a new apartment that could use a few gamer’s items to liven it up.

      1. I hear that. Over the next month I’ll be spending a ton of cash on ‘home improvements’, including locks and gates on the windows.

  2. Hey! awesome blog! I happen to be a daily visitor to your site (somewhat more like addict 😛 ) of this website. Just wanted to say I appreciate your blogs and am looking forward for more to come!
