TOG - The Older Gamers

man-o-war · 16th November 2006, 01:08 AM

Hello everyone,
I thought I would introduce myself here at TOG. I found this community actually through Guild Wars. You all are the Guild of the week and after reading about TOG I thought I would stop in. After reading a few things I am interested to join this large community. So without further ado.

My online name is man-o-war. My daughter and my wife call me Dad or Matt. Let me rephase that. My wife calls me *Insert explitive here* and my 3 year old calls me Matt, sometimes Daddy. I live in the Western parts of Maryland U.S.A. I own an old Victorian Home built in 1882. I work full time as a contractor in Washington D.C. I have a couple of dogs and some fish in my daughters aquarium.

My video game playing predates the dinosaurs. I have been an avid gamer since pong came out on the atari way back in the day. I have had every system from then on. Too long of a list to complete here.

Currently I am playing Guild Wars, which I have all of, Counterstrike source, and Battlefield 2. I also dabble in other games, but those are my bread and butter.

I am a senior boardmember in a gaming community called East Coast Guardians. www.ecg-css.com/mambo. There I take care of the News site as well as moderate the forums and admin the 2 CS:S servers that we have.

I think I have posted enough now to give everyone a good sized headache. If you got to the end of this post give yourself a high five. Thanks for reading.

Frag on.

Bump. Did I fill out everything correctly? Or does no one want to say hi to me?

G'day Man-o-war,

You just need to run through the new members sticky, and state your age and that you have read the FAQ and agree to the AUP

Welcome to TOG! Please stop by the COD division forums, check in with the peeps there, find out what COD is all about and what the really really dark side of TOG is playing. JK. You will be more than welcome to stop by and say hello. Once again welcome. Please stand by for one of our admins to TOGerise you. It does not hurt I promise.

Welcome to TOG! Stop by any game forum and introduce yourself. You should find stickies there on how to get playing with your fellow TOGers. I sent you a PM on how to get going with BF2.
