Hey Everyone,

I hate doing these, I feel very much like I'm walking into a 'Gamers Anonymous' meeting. "Hi, I'm Dave and I'm addicted to Games". So, the basics:

A/S/L :g:
Name: Dave (Male, He/Him)
Age: 31
Location: Yorkshire, England

The games I enjoy playing the most are those I can enjoy with other players which are typically competitive FPS, MOBA, or other such multiplayer games. With the caveat of I am pretty terrible at them. I used to be quite competitive in my younger years, but the older I get the worse I get... as such I need team mates to carry me ;-) My current games list includes such titles as:

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds
Rainbow Six Siege
SCUM
Rend
Destiny 2
The Division

However, not being part of a community currently means I'm not playing those games all that much. I'm generally quite 'easy' on what games to play providing I can play them with friends and laugh at how bad I am at them... My best period of gaming has to have been c2004-2010, in which I primarily played Counterstrike 1.6, Counterstrike CZ, World of Warcraft and Eve Online. I've struggled to find a community and/or game since about that period in which to call home.

Outside of gaming I'm a bit of a hermit and social recluse, so you'll probably find me on Discord most days/evenings. I'm also studying to do what I should have done a decade ago, a degree (Computing & Psychology) on top of that I'm also attempting to hold down a job, I start a new role in November and looking forward to it! (No surprises, I work in IT). I'm also a passionate techy/geek so I love discussing tech, also a bit of an AMD fanboi, so, er, be warned...

And, I think that'll do for now, hopefully I get to meet/speak with more of you soon. Looking forward to hopefully finding my online 'home' :)
Cheers,
Dave aka Rev(enant).

Hi Dave

Thanks ever so much for the intro even if it does feel like a “gaming anonymous meeting” which it can do at times lo. It’s a pleasure to have you join us. From the game list you provided I am sure you will fit in with a good amount of gamers here.A lot of them are currently being played and if you are around on Thursday we are starting to do a night of customs games in pubg so this would be a great time to make Friends and enemies :p I look forward to meeting you in discord and once again welcome to the community !

Hello and welcome.

We have a small group playing Scum most evenings. Currenly on London #520 if you want to hook up with vc's via Discord. PUBG and Rainbow are also staples currently. If you have any queries about hooking into those games ask here or grab an admin or game leader.

Awesome, congrats on the new job as well. You will find most people on in the evening, so in two weeks time you will find a good amount of us online.

Glad you've decided to join us Rev, usually a group of us on pubg most nights - and as others have said they are playing other games also such as SCUM etc. See you online

Welcome fellow Dave!

By the looks of it you'll fit in just fine, lots of people playing the same games as you!

I've heard the R6S Group is the best of the bunch...

Look forward to seeing you about!

Thanks all, I've had an incredibly warm welcome both here and on discord! I should probably also post what I'm looking forward too as well! Currently on the hopeful list (off the top of my head) are:
Fallout76
Anthem
Pokemon Lets Go (Yes, Yes, I have a switch, great piece of kit thats saved my sanity through many a shift lol)
World War 3
*Maybe* the new COD and Battlefield but I'm not massively sold on those yet.

You want to see some colourful arguments take a look at the Battlefield V thread we have in the forums, plenty of mixed opinions! A few of us bought Battlefield 1 since it was only £4.37 + premium free so a few of us have that to jump on in the interim :D
World war 3 looks fantastic and there is discussion about that too, and lets face it we're all hoping for great things from Anthem, hopefully it doesn't suffer the EA curse (it will :( )

Hi there and welcome! Where does your name come from? You know you have a character in Warframe?

Yeah that was an unfortunate accident. I was previously known under various names, but went through, let's say, a refresh recently. Wanted to shed the history of my previous 'alias', Revenant was just a name that I liked the sound of that was distinctly different enough. I originally went with 'Redacted' but then landed on 'Revenant' as an alternative.

Turned out, as I was informed by someone who knew me before and after, it's also French for 'the returned' which I didn't know at the time I picked it, but is entirely apt for it heh.

Not to worry, stick to a name here so people get to know you. Not alot of people play Warframe here. But that French name "the returned"sounds good also... Except it's translated from French... Don't worry, you don't need to surrender straight away... :flirty:. I'll probably catch you on Discord sometime. Greetings a Dutchy...
