Zeroflip saying Hello

Hello all Seniors!! I have just discovered your existence! I must have been hiding under a large rock somewhere as I am currently a member of OAPs but due to long and boring personal circumstances that I won't bore you with, I haven't been active for some time. PLUS...Skyrim was released. As a long time fan of The Elder Scrolls series, I have been tragically caught up in this game to the point of ignoring all other games. I game on the PS3 and sadly, Bethesda have been really naughty and only released DLC for the XBOX and PC. Eventually I have been forced to communicate with the outside world again and the Skyrim bubble has burst for me. When I logged back into OAP towers I discovered it had all changed. Its like emerging from hibernation!!!!

Herman (a SNR member I think??) pointed me in this direction so I thought I'd drop in and say hi. I've been gaming ever since I can remember in one form or another and some of my favourite gaming memories are with folks who are now SNRs. When I joined OAP in 2008 I had just had my 2nd child and I didn't get online to game with others as much as I might have liked. My husband, Citalia did though and I recall lying on the sofa at night watching him shoot many of you in Killzone matches, or COD matches. Such fun!! I do miss all that.

Other gaming info = asides from being geeky to the point of ridiculousness about The Elder Scrolls, I do play other games on my playstation. RPGs are my fav but I am not ashamed to admit I enjoy a bit of brainless COD and Killzone. I'm a rubbish shot though to be honest. I live in Perth, Scotland with my husband, a black labrardor and 2 small children and work part time as manager of library services here in bonny Perthshire. I like climbing mountains and camping and going to festivals and anything to do with metal and rock music. About to embark upon Transit Van Conversion despite minimal mechanical skills (could be a disaster.)

I hope I have actually covered the stuff I am supposed to in the intro section?!?!?! I would like to apply for Ally status just now???? I think thats right??? As in...I am a friend of SNRs?? I am obviously still a member of OAPs at the moment but I would like to keep in touch with former members of that group as much as possible.

Let me know if I have missed anything?? My this is boring!!

Bye for now

Thanks very much for the prompt Ally status. I will have a proper look this evening once the ankle snappers are in bed! Acegadgets!! Long time no game! Citalia was never one for the driving games but almost everything else he can turn a hand to. Well....slightly shakey hand it has to be said as he isn't getting any younger to be fair! He has a new job and spends half his life in Portsmouth so gaming time is minimal. Anyway, nice to find you guys. Hope to keep in touch and maybe see you online soon

Zero

p.s. Zero was the name of our previous black lab who sadly passed away in april last year Never thought I'd feel so upset about an animal dying. Very sad. We now have a new mutt called Murphy. also a black lab but I can't change my gaming name. So Its a fitting tribute I am known as Zero online!!! Gone but never forgotten

 

Thanks for all the lovely messages guys. Its great to catch up.

Slaine, I am very jealous of your Dragonborn joy! I heard mixed reports. Some saying it was superb and others disappointed. I doubt I could find it disappointing. The lack of DLC for PS3 has been really poor but I still love the game itself. I didn't hold out much hope for flying dragons anyway! My gameplay on PS3 was fine but I haven't been able to complete thieves guild trophy as the quest chain is truly shafted and I can't find the will to start a new game just to complete it. You never know, I may eventually! so I am just shy of a platinum for it. I don't know why, but this really irritates me!! Out of interest, I admin a facebook Skyrim group called Skyrim PS3. Does this cause any problems being a member here in the future?? Just checking!

Spruijt - hello! I will say hi to citalia and he may venture back online for some games. Between my hogging the PS3 to play Skyrim and our using it to stream various TV series he hasn't been playing many matches for a long time. I think he misses the action!

ColSonders! No problem about friends list removal at all. I am almost impossible to offend! I'll send you a friends request shortly I am always grateful for advice you gave me about completing some special ops maps that I was finding impossible. STILL didn't get 3 stars for wetwork which annoys me as much as lack of skyrim platinum. Its that bloody room at the end. You get all the way through to it and then I screw it up at last minute. Grrrrrrr...

Plaxinator - I really should do a blog or something actually! VW transporter is just too small for us sadly. Citalia is 6'4" and I'm 5'9"!! Theres nothing worse than not being able to stretch out your leggies in your bed at night! what kind of van do you have?? I collect tents. I can't seem to help myself. I have 5 at the moment. I always find a reason to buy another one.

ace - did they?! I will have to quiz her about it! I can't wait to get started on it. I just need a cool name for it....hmmm....

Anyhoo - lovely to chat. Oh...someone asked which games I am currently playing...mainly still Skyrim (I did warn you I am really tragic in that department,) I picked up Kingdoms of Amalur and played that and it was okayyyyy 5/10? Lots of Lego LOTR with the kids as they got it for crimble. I very recently picked up Assassins Creed series and aim to get started on that soon. I also really want to try Far cry 3. AND! Returning to Fallout 3 because I started the game and dropped it for some unknown reason so it will be like a new game for me.

Man I can waffle on...

 

Hey Slaine - just checked out Two Worlds 2. It looks right up my alleyway. Also, I quite like a bit of cheesypie. I have ordered it. I'll let you know how I get on. as for putting Skyrim to bed?! WHAT>?! Like I would ever do that?!

Catch you later

Blairgowrie?! Thats just up the road from me! Its been snowing in Perth almost the whole day but its not lying. Phew. I love snow to look at. And when I don''t have to work. But it makes life a pain the ass to be honest!
