this games just hare high in my top list.

Games I am playing at the moment are:

Starcraft 2 and HON

Games that I am going to play in the future are:

Diablo III
and everything that makes my heart go faster


I Joint the TOG because

I like to play online with people that just love/like to play games
Are not acting like babies all the time
Know what they are doing.
dont take it all to serious ( need to work next day, girlfriend needs atention to )
brothers and friends are bussy to in general live so do not have people i can play games with online all the time, and that can suck

Something about myself

got 2 brothers one sister.
Play online with my 2 brothers and some friends.
studied AI
am working as a Data/security engineer at a ISP.

ok I think hope this is more then enough info.
if there are any Q just let me know.


Mzzl ( like we say in Amsterdam) ,
