Hello all just a quickie to say who i am and some blurb and to say it's good to be herewink

Well i'm a 46 soon to be divorced fat bloke with a 3 year old son whom i love to be with. I have been a gamer since i first programmed a zx80 to play battleships way back in the dark ages. and progressed through Speccy and atari st, to a dell xps now ,a ps3, and the ubiquitous wii (which i pretend is for the lad but i still like to play mariokart as well..). Anyway back to the subject most of my gaming these days is mmorpg with a bit of fps and the occasional foray into rts as well, sorry for the acronyms but with typing as slow as mine i need all the shortcuts i can get smile.

I like beer, cars and laydies with poor taste in men and no sense of smell.  and thats just about me summed up , as i say glad to be here and see you onlinekiss

 

oh and Hobnobs.

Hello and welcome to MLG Mr Pond.
As you seem to have answered most of the questions I was going to ask it only leaves me one to ask. What gamer tag do you go by so we can check out your shooty stabbing skills?
Catch you online mate.

Hello hello new around here as well.

I remember trying to program on a zx80 to make it draw a bottle made from percentage signs but the neck would always go all wonky.

Waste of an hour.

I remember how flat the keyboard was and here I am typing on an IPad screen, it's like we have come full circle

Well fucking played that man! I gave up on the RTS and FPS genres when I hit 45 because my reactions were never exactly that good in the first place and they were totally laughable by then.

Atari St thumbs-upthumbs-upthumbs-up Did you play Captain Blood back in the day?

Welcome Pondlife.

Good to see another speccy – ST user, none of the dreaded C word smile

I bought captain blood when I got my ST very pretty but never really liked it that much.
