[DONE] Application

Hello there!
I read about your community in an article in 360 magazine this morning and was very intrigued. Bit fed up of constantly playing with squeaking, insulting adolescents on xbox live

Bit of history, I started playing games on the atari 800. Well, I say games, it was my uncles work computer, and the only thing he had for it was a nuclear power station simulator with a manual the size of several editions of War and Peace!
Still, it did peak my interest Not toooo long after that thanks to two paper rounds, a spectrum was purchased. Journeys end was the first rpg I ever played, and I still intend to write a remake of it one day. Just no idea how to update it without breaking what made it fun to me!
I skipped the c64, I'm sad to say, although I have made up for this since then with the joys of emulation.
Moved on to the amiga, which lasted me all the way through highschool, frontier - elite 2. Damn that game. Played it almost every single day, it's amazing I still managed to do anything at school :P

I'm conscious this is almost becoming a biography, so I'm going to zooom through the next through years to what I'm playing today!
After playing world of warcraft with the wife for quite a few years, and possibly getting far too enthralled with raiding, I've now stopped cold turkey, and am only really playing xbox 360 and ps3 games. (mostly xbox if I'm honest!)
I'm still partial to the odd pc game, not that there is much good these days :/
Main games I'm currently playing are Call of Duty - modern warfare and WaW, left 4 dead (both pc and xbox versions) We also have a wii, but to be honest, I've no idea how many of those games are multiplayer!
I'm married, no children yet, but I'm sure that'll come and eat in to the gaming time more I work in IT, mostly networking/unix/phone systems these days if anyone else is also in the industry. As you might gather, I also dabble in coding in c and java.... and z80 asm, ahem.
Anyway, enough about me, if you actually read all the way through this, you're really quite sad. Possibly on the same level as me!

Cheers,

Ken

Which edition? I did an interview for one of their journos and I'm now wondering if they published it...

[lazken]

I'm guessing they did, if you're Mark Anderson

Quite a lengthy column you got in it actually! I'd imagine quite a few other people will read it and google for The Older Gamers too.

It's issue 54 of 360 magazine, the one with the 'world exculisive hannds on of Splinter Cell Conviction on the cover. Don't normally buy magazines, but the battery on my phone was low, and I didn't fancy a four hour train journey without my ebook reader!
