Hi all, I had written a long biography, but due to not being logged in, managed to lose it...lucky you!
I've got carpal tunnel now so I'll not manage to type all that again.
Anyway, looks a decent community, I'll have a nose around the forums and probably say a few words in the bits that appeal.
Catch you soon

Cheers for the welcome guys.
I've mainly been playing single player games, or the SP component of games with MP, with the exception of Diablo 3, and WoW...although I've stopped subbing to the later
I am trying to get some love for Elite : Dangerous. It 'should' tick all the boxes for me, but I'm just struggling to get into it atm. If I had the spare cash for a pricey sub, I'd be back on EVE tbh. Maybe if i stopped buying other games I'd be able to afford it

I recently bought Cities: Skylines, which is good fun, but its not a game I can play all day, everyday, so tend to just flit from game to game on a whim.
Driving games will always be a love of mine, even if I'm never more than average, so I play Grid Autosport, F1 2015, Euro Truck simulator (when I'm feeling old and have slower than usual reaction times), and a bit of Spintires. I have an old Logitech GT pro FFB wheel which does the job for all of the above.
Occasionally I'll be on War Thunder for the aircraft.
I'm not much of a FPS player, but own ARMA 3 and have about 45mins game time on it lol. Great game, but not one for soloing.
So I guess thats what led me here. I did a bit of a Google for 'Elite character progression' and found a link to a thread here. The last gaming community I was in (Planet MGC) seemed more focused on console games, which at the time was fine, as I had both the 360, and PS3. Both are dead now, so I'm only playing on the PC nowadays.
It'd be nice to get a bit of multiplayer action occasionally too, as well as meeting new folks.

You're welcome to join us in CS:GO, your skill is not important, it's attitude that counts

BrotherTobious · March 15, 2015, 03:16:59 PM

I'm a total noob to arma (about 45 minutes too) and have only just joined these guys. I'm hoping to stop them from having fun next Sunday to teach me how multiplayer works. You should join me and we can pester them together

Sconn · March 15, 2015, 06:08:30 PM

Sounds like a plan, thanks. I know how to look around while I run away, so already got some important details nailed!
What time do you play?

froge · March 15, 2015, 07:18:51 PM

Sporadically, but I'm hoping to reinstall Arma this weekend!

Chaosphere · March 15, 2015, 07:38:54 PM

We play ARMA most Sundays from 1945 until about 2200.

If you two would like we can happily arrange a little intro session where one of us can teach you the basics so that you come into Sunday feeling a little bit more prepared? Would have offered to do so this weekend but I am on nights atm so will not be able to make it tonight

Sconn · March 15, 2015, 09:27:53 PM

Whenever suits, Chaosphere, I don't really have any nights I'm not free. See when Froge is free and we can take it from there. Thanks for the offer, much appreciated

smilodon · March 15, 2015, 10:47:02 PM

Likewise. I couldn't make tonight's Arms but if you're about during the week I'm sure we can work something out.
