After being shot in the face a few times and fragging a couple of you in a sneaky and dishonerable fashion the other day after being invited to a game of GoW3 I thought I'd register and say hi. I also met a load of you at the Eurogamer as part of rcc/ffj but didn't do anything sneaky or dishonerable I can recall.

About me – Dad of two and professional procrastinator currently playing Gow3, Might and Magic:Clash of Heros and trying to get around to finishing Mass Effect 2. I have completed Plants vs Zombies more than any other game.

I started gaming by befriending kids with Spectrums (I was a kid then too okay) but soon dumped these for the ones with Commodore 64's. My parents did their best and bought me a Commodore Plus 4 which soon meant I had no friends. This trail of adopting the 2nd or failing platform was a theme that's often popped up as my gameing linage continued with the Amiga (Won in the end Atari ST!), the Sega Saturn then the Original Xbox and now the 360.

I love a nice cup of tea and a garibaldi biscuit and Haribo Tangfastics are my favourite sweet although they don't go to well with tea.

My gamertag is Stodgypudding – don't ask why I really have no idea

Cheers!

Ouch – Acorn the educational computer. Man those parents didn't realise what they were doing.

My boys are 4 and 6 and their controller skills surpased those of my wife along time ago. The Xbox has been a superb behaviour tool, they're generally limited to 45 mins after school but if they get three strikes in a day *poof* none. The devastation at times is sad but boy it works.

Apart from the lego games there isn't really much out there for the youngsters
