teve000, On behalf of The Older Gamers, we wish you a Very
HappyBirthday.
Indeed, Hi all.
Yes it is that day of which i have turned 25, as it is that day I would like to apply for a TOG membership.
I have been gaming ever since I was very young, the earliest I can remember is our commodore 64 when I was around 6 or 7. As the years went went by my hardware developed to when in 2002 I got a P4, in 2005 I finally got ADSL, welcome to internet gaming!.
It was not long after I started playing online games such as CSS where I kept seeing the TOG tags on various players, these players were good and they knew it but they were not cocky little s*its like others. I admired this and looked into TOG, to my devastation there was an age requirement, I remember an old post almost begging for membership when I was 19 or so. After that I vowed on my 25th birthday I would apply for TOG membership... Here I am.
About me: I have played countless games the more memorable ones are Boulder Dash (i think) on C64 after that was Wolfenstien 3d and Civ1 on the 286 with the C&C series and Mechwarrior on my P166 then all the way to Generals and RA3 etc. Counter strike, TF2, Battlefield 1942, Bf2, 2142, BC2 and soon BC3 on the P4 and my current rig an E8400. I also have had PS1,PS2,PS3 as well as Xbox and 360 (limited on friends, not used mine) as well as other portables. I am taking a short break from FPS to play WOW, I have also played EVE for a few months but had no one to play with and felt lost and alone in a insanely large universe.
I have played heaps of rounds with TOG members, funnily always trying to grab their attention just in case of a early age invite :P My most recent were BC2 heavy metal maps.
I prefer Sniper roles and in my opinion am actually good at it, however I often play for what the game needs, if we aren't taking flags I'll take out my assault kit and get right into it, too many deaths, its medic time.
Outside of gaming im a nerd at heart. Astronomy, science, IT, LEGO you name it I'll talk about it.
I like to always be friendly and am often up for a chat and am always up for some gaming.
I'm sorry if this too long but ive had this application building in my mind for years
Fingers crossed I get accepted
Steve
