Holy shit! I'd go to all those really really high. That's a lot of time wasted, like as much as WOW.

Yep.

Started back in 94/95, with Doom on my 9.6k modem.

In the same time played extensively Age of Empires2, Starcraft and Diablo2.

Argh :sad:

Not really paid.

Got paid for CS a bit (maybe $10,000 all up over the years) and perhaps $3-4k for AOE2.

The rest was just basically achieving the top ladder spots in Australia and going to whatever major LANS or WCG qualifiers were on.

Left4Dead2 I don't play serious, it's one of the only game that I choose to play Pub only. I do the same with TF2 also, life is very full now as an adult... so I prefer to jump onto pub servers most of the time, own noobs and get like a 10:1 ratio, then bail to real life.

-Anime (own over 200 DVDs and VHS tapes, models, run panels at cons, have cosplayed, etc.)

-Video/computer gaming (Halo, Starcraft, L4D, all sorts of fighting and racing games)

-RPGs such as D&D and BESM

-Computers (I build and sell them, all of my desktop PCs for the past 5 years were self-built. Know a fair bit of HTML and C++)

-Comic Books (Collection of about 300, both manga and American)

-Sci-fi (read a ton of it, write quite a bit as well)

-Star Wars (seen all the movies more times than I can count, have a few models/statues of characters)

-Almost fluent speaker of Japanese, largely from having watched so much anime.

I love really smart guys. I won't date any one who isn't as smart or smarter than me.

I am also an anatomy freak. I love the human body.

What are your favorite FPS of all time?
Which FPS would you say you're the best at?
Have you ever made cash from playing competitively?

Natural Selection (Half-Life 1 mod) was my favourite. NS2 is going to be released sometime in the future, FTW!
I was best at Action Quake2 (Quake 2 mod). Was founder/leader of the top ranked clan in Australia and RCON for the 3 major ISP servers, was really big accomplishment back when I was ~13yo's.
Made the most from Counter-Strike, ~$10,000 over a 2-3 year period... absolutely SHIT ALL from the time invested.

Competitive gaming in Australia fails.

Team Fortress Classic



I loved that game. I was a bitchin medic and soldier. Was in a few clans too.

My nerdy stuff? Too much to mention. I love biology, neuroscience, zoology, icthyology, herpetology, marine biology, chemistry, and pharmacology. Every textbook on my shelves is science related. All of my pets have scales or slimy skin. I'm also a crazy ass technology/gadget nerd and I've been fixing computers for 10 years. First computer had a 1.3GB HDD, 90Mhz processor, and 14.4k modem. Ahh those were the days... of half assed computing.

Who the hell hates partying?

I hate parties, I'm very antisocial and can go years with a party.

I love partying though, I'll party by myself... I don't give a fuck, gimme a bottle of bourbon, a bag of buds and some gourmet takeout and it's on.
