TOG - The Older Gamers

At last a forum where I can feel at home

I am 39 years old and have been gaming for many years now. I feel a bit sad that I did not come across you all before and have had to resort to dealing and communicating with kids who cannot understand the concept of 'been at work all day and am a bit knackered and been sorting my kids out and sorting things out for their school tomorrow etc'

Having said that though I am an addicted gamer and have played CS, MOH, COD, AA, FEAR, WOW to some extent or another over the last 9 years or so. I have been a clan leader and guild leader in the past and have suffered the uncompromising and unforgiving attitude of immature kids. In fact typing this reminds me of trying to play Rainbow 6 on line with some Americans before the term 'Broadband' became common terminology in the UK. I always got kicked for being too laggy. Anyway, I digress, which I suppose you do when you get to our age, in some way its our privelage to digress and reminisce. So as I as saying........yeah, I remember, lol whilst im writing this cause now I'm reminding myself of Ronnie Corbett telling his jokes about the 'producer' sitting in his chair on the 'Two Ronnies', ANYWAY (I should concentrate and focus) I am 39 years old an avid gamer and Gizelle, (my better half) informed me of these forums and specifically The Old Grudge on Deathwing. I would be very grateful if I could become part of these forums and would very much also to become part of 'The Old Grudge'. I have read the relevant rules and advice and, of course, will abide by them. My character is 'Wrinkly'. I think that best describes my appearance.

I very much look forward to posting and getting know you all (and its so refreshing to be able to type that without knowing a 18 year old spotty nerd is not going to accuse me of being gay or weird).

P.S. I drink Guiness and Stella.
