Ok guys, I mentioned this in another post and I was advised to start a new thread for this topic. I am just curious at how old you guys are and what you all do for a living. What's your story?

Me? I am 31, from London, England but live in Cincinnati Ohio with my wife. I work from home hense the reason I am on here all the time. I work for the same London based company. They are an International online retailer and I run the video games side of the site. I upload all art work, videos, write reviews / synopsis etc etc and general upkeep of the site. I have a yellow lab and her name is Lillie.

I listen to everything but to list my faves they have to be, the god himself Mr. Joe Satriani, Linkin Park, 30 seconds to Mars, Muse to name a few.

I play football (soccer) and baseball in my spare time. Did I miss anything out?

I'm 19, from NJ, and studying Game Design.
I love FPSs, RPGs, and virtually anything multiplayer. I have a permanent gaming LAN and own:
Xbox360, 2 Xboxes, a gamecube, a GBA, a PSP, and tons of retro consoles.
I am now unemployed because I said "That's what she said" in front of a customer at my work and she got really offended and went to my manager, so right now my only source of income is Halo (I'm sponsored and make money off tourneys)
Outside of gaming I like paintball and reading.
That's pretty much it for me.
Favorite games: Halo CE, DOOM, Final Fantasy VII, and Ocarina of Time.

It was worth it. That job sucked anyway.

04/17/07 + boarderUK2

I'm 16, 100% English and live in East London, attending secondary school at the moment but will soon be in college. I started gaming really when my bro got an n64, goldeneye being probably my favourite game of all time because of this... however I can't go back to it now cos I did with another old game once and it wasnt the same heh. Umm I also own a PS1 PS2, DS and PSP. I don't really play home consoles any more... just find portable consoles much more convienient for me. Medal of Hono(u)r heroes is the nuts.

Saying that I absolutely love football managment games, I have about 15 overall and football manager 2007 is excellent. I guess that's very much linked to the fact that I love football (refuse to call it soccer) and I play quite a lot with mates, living near a free 5 a side pitch.

hmm what else... I love music, indy or piano rock being a preference but i'll try anything. Stereophonics and Keane are great, seen em a few times (Nice one mooshy

) and my most recently played are 'the good, the bad and the queen'... look them up they're great.

Good to hear all your stories... (I want one from captain heh)
