Hello,
My real name is Mike, I am 20, Single, Looking for fun, Outgoing, Likes to fool around (whoops)
I'm a student at the University of Gloucester studying Multimedia with E-Commerce Systems. Unfortunately I am in my final year, with dissertation and all.
I am the older brother of eproxy, who is a dashing young woman in a ballerina costume.
I have quite a long gaming history but from what I've gathered from my brother not as long as most of the people on here. I used to play a lot of CS (1.6 through to Source) and both me and eproxy were hooked on Natural Selection. Currently I mostly play Guild Wars, I own all three campaigns and find it takes up far too much of my time.
That's pretty much me, as for my Inselkampf account it isn't that big but I am around 60 hours away from my first colony ship which will be setting sail into the bright blue sea, assuming my brother has stopped colonising all the damn islands in my vicinity.
Any questions?

Welcome. It's scary to think I've been playing computer games for longer than you have been alive.
;D

Hahaha, yeah it is a bit, my brother mentioned about all the founders knowing each other through another older game on a 'spectrum'. I'm not really up on old consoles as the only ever console/old pc I've ever owned was a Gameboy Pocket.

Gah. A console? And you're eproxy's _older_ brother?
I feel very old. Skulks might be older though, hopefully!

Guild wars you say! I've just completed the second campaign today and started the 3rd... Finally. Without my nemesis ik uk account i have loads of time to catch up on guild wars. I've had the 3rd game since it came out and only just started playing today. I'll have to catch you up there one day!

Yeah that would be really cool, I'm stuck on right at the end in the Realm of Torment. Its unbelievably hard! Atari 2800 and Vic 128, aren't they some kind of nuclear warheads? Yup Raistlin unfortunately I am eproxy's older and much sexier brother.

It's the Atari 2600 actually, or did they release a newer model?

The 2800 series had a larger payload.

It could also do your taxes while on route to bombing the hell out of somewhere.

My first computer was a ZX81. Some 23 years ago. Only 1000 rams, though I had an extension to 32K. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zx81Boy do I feel old. And nostalgic. It only had upper case letters.

"Released in 1981"
I wasn't even a thought in my mum and dads mind at that point.
It's quite strange at the moment, I seem to be going through a faze (sp?) of "Oh that was yesterday" "Actually it was over 10 years ago". Very strange.

Spelling was correct. Refer to events in '99 or '01 thinking they were merely a year or two ago when realistically they were 6-8 years ago is quite an enlightening thing to do; it turns out I am growing up after all (even if I don't want to^).
