Hello, My name is Umbra and I'm an alcoholic...

My first venture out of the SoG section, thought I'd say hi, I'm an avid gamer, s/w developer and I build computers, and I'm happy to try and help in any of these areas :D

Feel free to add my msn to any list, XFire is already in the related section
maybe I will start sucking at BF2 soon, as well as WoW *sniff*:blush2:

JAS! i'm assuming it's the same ex SoG JAS anyway, ello!

and I don't know what you're all inferring about 'backs to the wall', you're all safe, only girls for me ty:

http://www.turbulentsoundscape.com/Rex/DZAPR06/DZAPR06_48.html (http://www.turbulentsoundscape.com/Rex/DZAPR06/DZAPR06_48.html)

However, there are always strange implications from Bastet and Bob(Threb). Now see what you've gone and done, I was trying to keep clean in these forums too :'(

btw, what is CZ?
w.r.t. other games listed, I've never got into Counterstrike, too realistic for me, my grip on reality is tenuous and I like it :), may be interested in racing games though ;).

My experience with BF2 is limited to about 10 games so far with some mates and since playing about a year and a half as a warrior in WoW i Tend to run in attackign everything and hoping someone else can keep me alive, it doesn't always work. however I seem to be quite good in helicopters and tanks, jets need me to set up my stick correctly tho ;)

P.S. w0000000, my 100th post :D

He allready said he wasn't interested in that kind of games so I didn't reply to that.
 
For racegames check Doormans LFS and GT Legends forumpart.

I will rephrase my disdainful comments. It's not so much that I'm not interested as that it hasn't grabbed my attention as yet. I'm always up for something new, and if it's good I'll give it a go. c'mon, MAKE me want to :D

something really petty and minor is that on the original CS, the arm graphic (your arm that holds the guns) had a total of 2 surfaces, so it looked like a pink stick rather than an arm, and as a programmer (yes I do some OGL and D3D) it wound me up a little :$

another thing though, I'm 1/4 american, and as such in relatively realistic FPS I somehow tend to kill everything (enemies/teammates/trees/squirrels/toasters) :(
in MOHAA and COD my team tend to put me at the front to avoid getting annihilated, unfortunately i'm quite accurate too.

P.S. Bob, I'm the one that's the same in both pics, also, male *checks again* yep

P.P.S. Will check the race sims out over the weekend I think, ty

Uh, now you only got me a bit more confused :blink:

Take a closer look at the two links you supplied:
Quote from: Umbrahttp://www.turbulentsoundscape.com/Rex/DZMAR06/imagepages/DZMAR06_50.html (http://www.turbulentsoundscape.com/Rex/DZMAR06/imagepages/DZMAR06_50.html)
http://www.turbulentsoundscape.com/Rex/DZAPR06/DZAPR06_48.html (http://www.turbulentsoundscape.com/Rex/DZAPR06/DZAPR06_48.html)
Are there one that are the same in both pics? And are there a male in both pics as well?


Is it only me, or does anybody else also get a bit confused by that second picture :whistle:

Either that, or hes the right one in the first picture :lmfao:

I don't know if I would call that guts or what...  But if you had access to our marveolus private SOG forums, you'd find a "real life pictures" thread with lots of good stuff - I'm at least there, don't know about Bastet though :g:

But on the serious side: I prefere to have my pictures on a forum where you at least need some kind of access control.  You never know what Google finds these days you know :tongue:

Yep. Was shooting in CounterStrike once and a guy was saying that I was the devil with a gun. That night I was drinking Duvel beer. 1+1 and it became my new name.8)
