Who are you and what do you do?
OK then.....
My name is Mookey and I have been called that since 1992 but most people call me Mooks.
I am from Walney Island but now live in the Highlands of Scotland.
I used to work as a researcher and script writer in Radio until 2001, then I went off to Uni and became a web designer.
I am a geek and proud of it!!! My first was an Acorn Electron, then BBC Model B, Sinclair, Sega Mega and Saturn, N64, PS 1 & 2, Xbox and Xbox 360. To top all that off I have every single gameboy that ever came out.
I consider myself a happy person but hate people who bully and pick on others.

Well I may have been here 2 seconds and no-one has even accepted me in yet, but I think I'll post a little bit here anyway!
Name - James
Age - 22
From - Gloucestershire (oo aaaarr)
Occupation - Financial Adviser (not a programmer! woo) although that's probably worse. I've just started the job so I'm in the process of passing qualifications, which of course is getting interspersed with large amounts of TF2!
As my job is quite full on at the moment I don't get time for too many other things which is a shame and I live in a little village so sometimes my connection goes a bit screwy with being far away from civilisation. Still living with parents at present, though I plan to move out at the end of this year having graduated from Exeter in 2006 (with a degree in geography, so not at all related).
When I do get free time I try to teach myself some guitar which I've been learning about 6 months. Also a keen volleyball player despite being pretty unfit at present.
Been into games for years and have to have a go at every FPS or racing game that comes out. I dabble in building my own PC and I try consoles but I can't really enjoy it, so if anyone wants a 360...

Name - Liam
Age - 21
From - Oxfordshire (looking to move closer to work in London asap though)
Occupation - Trainee Broadcast Engineer. Originally I did a degree in Computer Science with the aim to take up a job as a programmer/software engineer afterwards. However in doing my degree I decided I didn't like programming as much as I thought (no offence to anyone here ). So when I graduated I thought it would be cool to work in the media, so I applied for a suitable job and here I am today!
Apart from playing TF2 and a few other games, I'm currently learning to play electric guitar (although haven't picked it up for a few weeks). I only started a few months ago as I always wanted to play some type of musical instrument. I'm really bad though, but I'm hoping to get better over time (not playing won't help me though!) I also spend a lot of my time on the train and on London?s transport network, so I get plenty of time to listen to my mp3 player, play on my PSP and read the various London papers that are handed out to pass the time.
I'm learning to drive as well and I should hopefully be ready to book my practical test very soon. I'm not enjoying it as much as I was when I started, but I should hopefully be nearing the end of lessons soon so all is good!

Me:
Name: Pendaz/Marc
Age: 24 (i hope im not the oldest here lol)
Occupation: Musician - which basically means i dont have a job lol, i play music whenever i can, session work and im currently in the process of putting together a live band.
About me:
Origionally born in st helens (north west UK) moved to denmark when i was 20 where i spent most of my time playing music and smoking/growing a lot of greenstuff, hanging out in christiania (you tube it) and dyrehaven (animal garden) which is basically a huge ass hunting ground made by one of the danish kings a long time ago, no one hunts there anymore but there are a lot of wild deer and a lot of huge old trees for climbing and stuff.
I play a lot of instruments, mainly bass guitar, acoustic guitar and djembe. And i make a lot of different kinds of music (funk/reggae to breakcore/DnB/Ambient) im currently in the process of putting together a DnB EP which i'll probably post the link to on here when its done
I play computer games, I tend to stick to one game at a time lol, obviously right now im playing tf2 and i dont think im going to switch to anything else for a very long time. Before tf2 i played cs since beta 3 and before that i played quake 1 & quake 3 CPMA
i think that just about covers it
