Well, I'm 23 years old, male, and I like computer games. I'm from Gosford, Australia and I'll tell you no more than that. Hey, this IS the Internet!

You can check my personal site here. I'll get around to putting up the whole thing at some point. Problem is, I'm chronically lazy. The site was down for nearly a year after not being updated for nearly one and a half years.

I particularly like Doom 1/2, System Shock 1/2, Thief 1/2, Deus Ex, Half-Life etc. If I ever get a chance to play Half-Life 2, I guess I will like that too. Graphics have no real effect on me, and I almost never use graphical enhancement mods for games. Gameplay is everything.

I like video game music and remixes centred on my favourite games. I also really like the music of Machinae Supremacy.

I'm trying to get back into learning Linux. I have aspirations to work in IT Tech Support and Networking, and I find the ethics (or lack thereof) of marketing staff instinctively repulsive.

Pages I have created:

• Flight Unlimited Written before I registered.
• Flight Unlimited II
• Pilot Controlled Lighting
• Irrational Games
• Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds The RTS computer game based on the musical based on the book.
• Ken Levine
• Eric Brosius
• Terri Brosius
• Seamus Blackley
• Tribe (band)
• Star Smashers of the Galaxy Rangers
• BioShock
• Poko Yes, I am insane.

All but the top two really need work, as I have but scant details on them.

I tend to hang around the articles centred on Looking Glass Studios games.

Pet hates:

• Religious extremists, particularly right-wing christians, most particularly Fred Phelps.
• People who make new topics on message boards to ask questions that already have been asked and answered 3+ times on the main page alone. I mean, not searching is bad enough, but use your bloody eyes for crying out aloud!
• People who judge old games purely by comparing their graphics with today's games. Same goes for movies.
• Compaq and Hewlett-Packard. Crappy, shitty, cheap, faulty bundle systems.
• A lot of modern popular music. Mainly modern rap/hip-hop where the singers never stop talking, brain-dead pop and no-talent techno (especially the "DOOF-DOOF-DOOF-DOOF-DOOF" variety).
• Gimmicky, ultra-flashy program interfaces and web sites, especially when they get in the way of efficient use.
• Stupid, ultra-obsessive anime fans. Get a life, you dorks. Just because it comes from Japan doesn't mean it has to be worshiped.

To do:

• Tyrian (Computer Game) article needs work.
• Make article for Jets'n'Guns
• Make article on The Neskimos
• Augmentation system section for Deus Ex article?
