After getting a disarming nice message welcoming me to the world of the midlife gamer i've finally decided to stick my head above the internet parpit and say "hello i exist" (a tactic i've never found very successful in FPS). 

Gaming history: Playstation 1 and 2 were my consoles of choice in the time of yor and i have many fond memories of a psychotic bandicoot smashing boxs from that crazy feller i went on to my favorite game of all time (from a nostiglic point of view) Time Spilltters 3 future perfect, however after my PS2 blew a hole in my wall i moved on to become a PC gamer in the RTS explosion that happend a few years ago with dawn of war, rome and medieval total war beoming my new theartes of distraction, however my time being a mini hitler drew to a end when the Elder scrolls 4 slapped me in the face and demanded my imediate attention, once Obivion had been averted i moved Fallout 3 where i then choose to cause Oblivion. both the Assassin creeds quenched my thirst for sword based genocide.

Alas my golden age of PC gaming has ended with the death of beloved PC and i'm now left only with Laptop that dislikes most games from a moral point of view. the games i play at the moment are mostly steam based and include Killing floor, Borderlands, the Mount and Blade series, Torchlight and TF2 (my game of choice for killing people with a bow and arrow).

now for the stuff you all really want to know.

Biscuit of choice – a plain hobnob

Drink- Jagerbomb (i dislike the idea of remembering the night before)

Welcome aboard the good ship MLG Cynical Hunter!

Ah Time Splitters….fond memories of map making, split screen multiplayer and monkeys….intrigued to know how on earth a PS2 put a hole in your wall?!

Well done for soldiering on though…not thought about picking up a console on the cheap to quench your gaming thirst or are you more than happy with what you have?

 

I think Brother Brown is right…you are missing chocolate, the word “chocolate” from your biscuit of choice…it should read:

 

A Plain Chocolate Hobnob….no of that milk chocolate rubbish!

 

Like you philosophy on not being able to remember the night before.

 

Oh, and does you have a twitter account?

I'll be honest i'm not a fan of chocolate on my hobnobs too sweet for me. 

As for the PS2 blowing a hole in my wall, i never recieved a full explantion of why it happened only that i should take it as a sign to get a PC (this was a bout 6 years ago mind)

as for getting a new  console, i'm close to leaving for university so a laptop is the best way to go until i can get a proper address and my parents are hardly fans of consoles.

on the sausage front it take it dry as nature intended. i've yet to make a twitter account but will do in the future so i'll keep you updated then.

Welcome to MLG cynical

I am quite impressed you or someone you knew managed to get a PS2 to explode. Unless you cheated and put a fire work in. I could quite easily see a 360 explode.  Well i'll see you on the boards

Welcome along buddy,

 

nice to have you here, WEr've not had any accidents inover 320 days (May not be true, well depends on the definition of the term accident) so your in a safe place here.

 

The locals are lovely and very rarely bite, scratch or gnaw meaning the jabs are optional which is nice. But try and stay in the well lit areas and in pairs ideally.

Other than that its all gravy up in this bitch.

 

On a side note, Good job on the Timesplitters, Much of my life was spent in local multiplayer on that game…..Sigh…..good times…..good times.

 

You're so wise… Like a minature Buddha covered in hair!

it is my firm belief that grammer and spelling is 90% confidence in it's use. 

 

with the Jagerbombs, it really depends on what your drinking to forget heres my scale based on the average glass size comprised of 1 jager to 2 parts "bomb":

1. forgetting the last 2 hours.

2. forgetting why your in a silent movie thearte in east berlin.

3. forgetting why your hair is now purple and what chemicals made it that way.

4. forgetting which girl band you sent a series of explict death threats in a misguided hope they would use them as song titles.

5. and my personal favourite comes at glass 5 of the jagerbombs when you wake up in a war crimes tribunal in south america and you believe the authorities are well within their rights to execute you for your actions the night before.

this scale is based on my own personal experiences so i advise some caution.
