'lo all

I'd signed up for the society thru the freshers fair - having been disgusted at the level of skill that 2 guys were playing Halo 3 at your stall, I figured I'd lend my talents to the society to show people how to play it properly

On a more serious note, I study at the Clifton campus when I'm not working/gaming at home. I vilify the PS3, purely because it looks like an overglossed spaceship of gayness, so naturally I own an Xbox 360. Games include CoD4, Halo 3, Gears of War, Guitar Hero 3, and Unreal Tournament 3 - as you can see, I'm an FPS gamer.

My traits in gaming don't stop with the console - I got my first PC when I was 3, and had already upgraded it myself at 5 from DoS to Windows 3.1, having changed the motherboard twice in between (I still have my original one somewhere!). At current I have a custom build half-way-house PC, clawing its way out of the AMD Athlon Era - Specs at the bottom of this post . As for games on the PC, I own an account on Steam with the entire Counter-Strike and Half-Life Series, CoD4, UT3, UT'99, Quake 4, and the Team Fortress series to name but a few of my fifty-something strong collection of FPS games.

I mainly focus on Counter-Strike: Source, having spent a good few years in competetive gaming. Now though, I'm just a n00b with scout in-hand. If anyone wants to play, just drop me a PM

PC Specs:

Motherboard: ASUS A8N-SLi Deluxe
Graphics: 2 x Nvidia 8800GT 512MB PCI-E (SLi Enabled)
Processor(s): AMD Athlon x64 Dual Core 4400+
Soundcard(s): X-Fi Xtreme Music, SB Audigy 2, X-Fi Xtreme Audio
RAM: DDR PC3200 - 3GB
OS: Windows Vista Business (TY ntu software policies!)

I'm also a dedicated wireless gamer, and have been since 2003.

I need to pay my £4 for membership still - can anyone point me in the right direction?

hey, welcome . if id have attended the freshers fair no doubt id have been shocked at these people playing halo 3 too, as its my main game on the xbox 360. i added a bunch of people today to play with, if i didnt add u already, add me, gamer tag is fergoose, i play halo religiously, and id like to think im pretty good at it. i can beat erebus in a 1v1, yet to find any other gamer soc member who can beat me, but its only because ive played halo since it was released . so yeah, add me and ill be more than willing to do some gaming, im on most of the time anyway

Sounds like a bloke after my own heart, in terms of building PC's. Haven't found many other GS members willing to admit to it, yet .

Impressed/scared by the ages you've put for building/respeccing/upgrading, though. I was a good 3-4 years behind you. =o

Look forward to meeting you on some form of online battlefield, though. =)
G'luck against Fergoose.

Trust me, in this day and age, past experiences with pc modding counts for nil
