TOG - The Older Gamers

SonnyJim · 9th April 2006, 02:45 PM

G'day TOG,

I recently found the GameArena message boards for Battlefield 2 and saw a video posted by a "TOG" member of some gameplay that had me laughing like a teenager again!

So I had a good look at the TOG website and liked the attitude of your members. I'd like to be part of a community of mature-minded gamers who don't take themselves too seriously and like to have serious fun! (I'm actually surprised I haven't learnt of your community earlier).

I think I would feel right at home at TOG and would like to apply to be a member.

I have read the AUP and FAQ and have no problems with them.

I am 33 years old. My name is Mike and I usually play online as "SonnyJim" or "SonnyJimmy" I generally play in the evening after work and different times on the weekends.
I live in Nelson Bay NSW, about an hour north of Newcastle. It's a popular holiday spot until you live here, then all you do is whinge about the tourists taking your spot on the beach

I'm currently addicted to Battlefield 2, but also like some games on Steam like DoD and just recently Red Orchestra OST. I am always looking for servers with an emphasis on "teamplay" because I really enjoy playing as part of a squad. I really don't have that much fun when everyone goes it alone and constantly just wants to get the highest frag count so they can say "I win!" hehe.

My gaming history ... how long is a post supposed to be?! hehe

I've played computer / console games since I was about 10 years old and have never really stopped since. Truthfully, single player games have their place but I have never had as much fun with computer games than when I have played them online with other people. It just never gets boring.

I played "Duke Nukem" via direct connection in the late 80's ...Warcraft & Red Alert on 56K dialup in the 90's ... several online RPG's I can't remember ... Quake LAN games ... and then Counterstrike (before it got complicated), Day of Defeat (love this game), Call of Duty series etc.

Anyway I'm sure that's more than enough info.

I'd really like to get involved with some TOG'ers who play BF2 and when more people jump on board, Red Orchestra too ... it's a challenge to shoot without crosshairs

Thanks for the reading, hopefully you'll let me join.

Mike.

G'day and welcome to TOG.

Looks as though you've ticked all the right boxes, just sit tight for the moment. An Admin will be trolling the forums sometime soon with their magic TOG stick. Once you've been TOGerised by the Admins, you'll have access to the members private forums. Have fun mate.

Welcome SonnyJim,

If you play Red Orchestra, how about the full UT2004, we need more players down at the core. Drop in and meet the guys and gals when you have been TOGgerised.

Hi & Welcome to TOG

You are now a member & have access to all the private forums including the Lounge which is where all TOGgers gather just to chat about anything at all. It's a good place to start. Make yourself at home & enjoy

Thanks for the invite mate, I only bought RO from Steam/Valve, I never actually played UT2004 nor do I have the game itself, but I'll be sure to drop in anyway and meet you guys & gals.
