Default Lok's Introduction

Hey there, my name is Lachlan,Lok to you guys. I'm 35 and from Cabarita, NSW, Australia. Love FPS games, really enjoyed Ghost Recon. Don't really play online but will do soon due to being urged by my workmate Chippo. Friday night would be a good night to play.
Have two kids, single Dad. Am a greenskeeper and part-time Graphics Artist. Have an OK system:Intel Core 2 6600 @2.4GHz,only 2GB of RAM(getting more soon), NVIDIA Geforce 7600GT, 22" + 19" LCD's and a Logitech MX Revolution Mouse.
Thinking of getting a Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard, what do you think of those? be impartial, I do realise they sponsor this site.
Also, I have been told that getting another graphics card and have a dual SLI card settup may prevent me from playing certain games, Is this true and if so what are they?
Any help on this last question would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and look forward to playing with you guys.
Also I forgot to put in the vital info for membership... Yes as said I'm over 25, Yes I have read and agree to Acceptable User Policy, FAQs and the Forum and Server Guidelines. I hope this is all that is required for membership, if not please let me know.

Heya Lok

Listen ya big goose......Two things need attention asap

For starters, don't tell this lot my real name FFS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Secondly, you need to state that you have "Read & agree to TOG's AUP (Agreed User Policy) & FAQ's" Located in the Red sticky threads above everyone's requests for membership.


Then a TOG admin can grant you full membership & access to heaps of good fun within


Bloody good to see you found the place.


Cheers
Chippo

No worries mate! As for your tech queries, as Way suggested, the Lab is the best place by far to get answers. So let's get this done and dusted!

Welcome to TOG, your application has been reviewed and approved.

You will now have full access to all parts of the tog website including:
  • All tog member only forums
  • All member only areas of the website
Your membership also includes access to various tog only servers, get-together, events, and other exclusives for this 25 and over only organization.

Undoubtedly you want to get started and the best place to start is to visit the main forum for the game in which you are interested, have a read of the sticky posts and other threads that catch your attention.

Make sure you introduce yourself and ask any further questions you may have. tog members are very helpful so don't be shy....ask away

The social heart of tog can be found in "the lounge room". there are lively discussions on many subjects as well as information on real life get togethers. If you want to know the other tog members across the whole of tog visit the lounge room.

Got a technical problem?

Visit tog's very own laboratory forum & see the cage full of helpful geeks. Not only can they assist in your troubleshooting, but they also like to help with upgrade & new computer advice.
DISCLAIMER: use the geeks' advice at your own risk. they are just tog members like you & may not be fully qualified computer technicians

OH NO! I've signed up with the lamest nick name on the internet!

No worries. Our fully trained forum administrators can help. Simply post your request for a name change in 'the desk' forum & the admins will leap into action & change it for you.

There's also plenty of other cool stuff on TOG, so browse around & check it all out.

Currently tog consists of over 25 game divisions and has over 16,000 registered members.

We sincerely hope that you enjoy tog for as long as you choose too. Feel free to spread the message to your friends and family who enjoy gaming and don't forget to have fun yourself!

All the best!

The Older Gamers!
