How I Found Out About Lang: I posted on the ETQW forums, looking for a Clan. Java kindly sent me a PM
Which Games I Play:Currently play ET:QW as my main online game. Just finished playing City of Heroes but it ripped the life out of me so I had to stop, I headed up the largest Supergroup (guild) on the Union Server. TF2, which is a HOOT and Portal, oh God how I love Portal... "I don't hate you"..........
Likes: Pie. Oh, and gaming, good teamplay non of that statwhoring rubbish, thats why ETQW appeals to me. SciFi, love a good SciFi story, Battlestar Galactica blew me away, also into Photoshopping, sigs, posters, that sort of thing.
Dislikes: L33tspe4k, statwhoring, non teamplayers, Snipers in ETQW who dont lay down the radar, anyone who disrespects their fellow human. Fish, not a great fish lover, unless it's fishfinger sandwitches, they rock.
Biography: Jeez, OK how far do I go back... I'll do it by console / game.
BBC computer: Sat at home doing Basic, and looking in utter utter amazement and the detail, the 3d-ness the graming beauty that was Elite. Thats when I got 4.00 am going to bed habit, still haven't shook it off, and it gets me into trouble.
Nintendo brick, you know the square one: Played SuperMario until my fingers bled, wow OMG! Colour screens and everything, 2D scrolling Heaven. At this time I got my first house after leaving University... I just had this yearning for something more real, like wouldn't it be great if you could like, walk around a 3D environment. Actually see youself in rooms, and outside and shoot things and..oh... what's that?
Playstation 1 : OMG! Laura Croft! All 3d walky walky shooty dinosaur lovelyness!! You can actually see youself in rooms, and outside and shoot things. That big dinosaur made me poop my loonpants I tell yer.
Playstation 2 : ...and the greatness of Gran Turismo, Metal Gear Solid, Grand Theft Auto, Time Splitters. I was one of THE first in the UK to get a PS2, my mate was a Project Designer for Sony (Leeds) at the time, doing the F1 games, so he had a 'spare' PS... Happy days....
PC : I bought one off the shelf from PCWorld, yeah yeah I know, PC nublah.... but that was then and this is now
But that got me into online gaming, remember the first time you played online, what a rush, and Hey! wait a minute, you can't do that! Bots don't do that, oh noes I be OMGWTFPWND!!!!! time and time again. Welcome to the real world of gaming 
My first experience and still one of my favourites was Return to Castle Wolfenstien, MP online with a US Clan called Evil Smurfs, I cannot tell you how many time I ran up that hill in 'Tram' VSaying "I'm a Medic". So that led on to Planetside, my first MMO and where I joined another UK Clan. That was 6 years ago now, many great games under my belt, Enemy Territory, Battlefield Vietnam, Half Life 1 and 2, City of Heroes, BF2, BF214. And in the course I founded and set up the FPS Division within my Clan, became 2nd in Command and eventually took over about 4 years ago, dragging the guild kicking and screaming into the 21 Century. It currently has 800+ members playing games in the MMO Division, and the FPS Division, running a dedicated server, teamspeak and a Ranked BF2142 server. It's structured with me at the top, then Admins, Captains, Officers and members,
So, I'm at the top of my Gaming game as it were and I am reorganising my current Guild into a Council of top level people with not one person in charge, in other words I can't take it further, but I know a group of loyal people who can. I'm orchestrating my own retirement from running a highly successful multi country multigaming guild. I also do a mean line in Photshoppery, posters, sigs, that sort of stuff....
I need some 'me' time. and a new challenge.
Why I Should Be a Member: I cannot function online without a community. I game in teams, I work in teams, and I have to contribute to forums, be it discussions, artwork or ideas. If I don't then I get grumpy. Grumpy = not a nice place to be.
