*knock knock* "May I come in?"

[joeTEK]

Hi there all 'n' y'all

To start on the right foot ... I have

• read AUP / FAQ
• am a true 1980 child (making me 27 as I write this)

My name is Joe (aka joeTEK), I'm a Sydney (Australia) based web designer who truly gets why TOG was started - ahhh ... to play for the fun and without some 14yr old cursing me out because I flashed him in Short A (CS:S - Dust 2). Mind ... it is so satisfying when I swap and HS him next round ... mmmmm ....

Anyway - back to the point at hand ... would love to be allowed to join a community of like-minded gamers and hope that I manage to pass the stringent entrance exam.

The game I'm currently enjoying (due to the state of my PC) is Counter Strike : Source. You can find me on various Australian servers playing a few hours most nights - just look for the "WoW Killed My SkillZ" boys

I'd like to get into a number of other games but that will depend on when I get my new pc ... hopefully in the next few weeks.

OK ... mmm ... nothing much else ... hope I make the grade
