TOG - The Older Gamers

strewth · 18th June 2007, 08:50 PM

Hi fellas (and fella-esses)

I am a bit over 25 (I have had a flat top, danced to Wham and Boy George - but don't tell anyone please)

I have read the AUP, FAQ and various other three lettered things

and agree to all of them.

I tend to travel a bit with work nowadays so that leaves me a bit unpredictable, so my wife says

Hope to be able to drop in on a bunch of friendly blokes and blokettes (to be politically correct) from time to time. Oh and I like to play Red Orchestra and IL2 Sturmovik FB-ACES-PF-1946-etc-etc-etc.

Actually it would help if you erased anything to do with the eighties from your mind, as I repeatedly try to do. Especially the image of me dancing to the above mentioned groups

Your honesty is appreciated however dancing to Wham & Boy George. Why were you even listening to them?

I don't know about your application but ... well ... hope to be shooting at you soon - maybe even DoD or CoD. Drop by & say hi.

Cheers

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

I have to dissapear for the best part of two weeks as of tomorrow arvo, but will try to catch up while away, or when I return.

As for the dance groups, well it was the early eighties and everyone was dancing to them. Heck we even tried to moonwalk

Oops, OK, you are not extracting any more info out of me. I don't care what sort of evil torture you threaten me with. The eighties are remembered for bad clothes, bad haircuts, bad music and bands where male members wore too much makeup, erk!

Now all the younger kiddies are going to pull faces and be terrified of a transvestite with extremely heavy makeup singing "Do you really want to hurt me?"
