To those that who know me hi (again) and get the swearbox ready for battlefield
For all those that are yet to come:-
My name is Roger, i'm 47 and from Swansea
Currently self employed as a landscape gardener and i have a great partner called Debbie and four teenage sons (all of whom game and cost me an absolute fortune)
Gaming history probably go's back to the early to mid seventies, when one christmas i woke to find a new, hi tech games console under the tree and subsequently spent the next few weeks playing nothing but "pong", on this new space age machine
My next real gaming came when i first discovered SPACE INVADERS, and would spend hours (plus a lot of pocket money) sitting at the machine in my local cafe, and usually waiting for Dill (cafe owner) to chuck us out.
As with a lot of people of a similar age, i then went on to the spectrum ( Mmm- rubber keys
) closely followed by the commodore and then the Amiga500, which incidentally had the favourite game from my early post teenage years- Gods!!
Kind of lost interest in gaming for a few years after the Amiga as real life, more specifically girls, seemed to be the only thing i could think of, well, girls and getting plastered
Anyway, after the honeymoon period was over, so to speak, i got back into gaming through various consoles such as the nintendo, megadrive, saturn etc, until my eyes were opened to the wonders of playstation and that incredibly "Trippy" title called wipeout.
Trust me on this guys, the worst thing that you can do after an all night rave, is spend the next three or four hours playing wipeout in the vain attempt to get even remotely tired.
It just doesn't work and also gives you a massive headache
OK! back on topic, the PSone was followed by the PS2 and subsequently, my machine of choice nowadays, the PS3.
You'll find me playing BF3 most nights, but i'm also partial to some of the blops custom games and also rpg's such as Skyrim and Fallout.
As the intro title says, i am applying for "Ally" status and will be more than happy if accepted.
Thanks for reading
Roger
