Membership Request to join TOG - Oldy but still Playing

[Maruzko]

Hello All,
I have read the main FAQ and the AUP.
I'm 39 so definitely qualify for the over 25 category.

Have a lovely wife and 3 young boys.
Live in Sydney, Australia.

Completed the Electrical Engineering Degree at Uni of NSW and worked for a few years in that field.
Then lost the job and couldnt find another so moved across into the IT Professional area.
Originally started off in Microsoft OS support. Then over the years acquired experience in Solaris, Linux and Storage Support and completed Certifications for them.

First Computer was an Amiga 500 and bought various models up to a 3000 Tower. This is where gaming for me started.
Eventualy sold all them and started with PC's.

The only games I've ever really had time to play are FPS's and they include:
Quake
Quake II
Quake III
Enemy Territory
Counter Strike
Team Fortress Classic on Half Life Engine <- Totally addicted to this one for ages
Unreal Tournament
Tribes 2
Unreal Tournament 2004

The games I'm playing now are:
Counter Strike Source
Battlefield 2

The main reason I decided to try and join is because a few weeks ago I was playing BF2 and joined a squad with mostly TOG players in it.
I thought they played quite well, but what impressed me most was the communication and friendly way the TOG members played.
Plus they didnt mind me being in their squad.
Essentially I would like this to continue since BF2 can be a tough game to play on you're own.
