Hi,
RMF's crystal ball doesn't make mistakes
yesterday an opportunity for me occured to play OA in the evening on my sisters' PC.
I had a great fun thanks to you, guys. And now, after you have seen me not only writing in english, but also playing our game, I think it's time to send my application, cause I'd like MADLY to be a member of IO
My name is Maciek, vagabondBGC in OA, I am 26, I live in the same region of Poland as my friend-cousin Michal - Upper Silesia, famous for mining industry (but we don't have many proximity mines here
)
I play OA for about year, but my relationship whith fpp shooters is MUCH longer. I've started with wolf 3d, and swallowed all ID games later till Q4 (which sucked, and was made but Raven not ID
). I had a long break after Q3. Then HATE_QUAKELIVE appeared. I've been playing it a little and one day my sister's boyfriend told my bout OA. I tried it... and gave up HATE_QUAKELIVE. I find OA to be much more enjoyable game with nicer community factor.
I tried almost all free fps (Nexuiz, Alien Arena, World of Padman, Urban Terror, Sauerbaten, Smoking Guns, Warsow), they're mostly good, but OA is far better
(Warsow is really cool game, but still not so fun as OA).
I like insta, but I think all weapon is also cool. Rocket launcher and shotgun are classic
I have to learn a lot about tactics and teamplay in CTF, but I'm ready for that.
And... my short adventure with HATE_QUAKELIVE taught me that clan arena is a very fun mode, worth trying
As far as computer games are concerned I am a diehard fan of point n click adventure games, especially old 2d classisc from LucasArts (Monkey Island series for example).
Recently I've started to play Civilization IV. Damn, this game is deadly immersive! And Civ V will be published on autumn 2010
Sometimes - with Michal - we still play duels in Sensible World of Soccer, the greatest sport game ever.
Beyond the computers...
Like Michal - yes we have very much in common
- I am a philologist of classical languages, I love to read and write
I play violin a little - kind of hobby, I'm not too good in that. I listen to the music of course - old british punk rock, irish folk, classical music, jazz and few polish bands you prolly never heard about (ok, Michal knows all of them
).
I've been practicing martial arts (kung-fu) for 4 years, I stopped when my son was born and I don't have time for that now and not sure if I'll ever come back.
It's totally irrelevant but I am a psycho follower of a canadian basketball player Steve Nash. Shame he doesn't play OA (prolly
)
My wife and I have 1,5 years old son and we are still waiting for workers to finish redecorating our new place
So... You know something about me now.
It'd be great if you accept me in your clan. This month I can't promise anything, but in March and later I will be able to play regularly.
Take care, hope to see U soon on servers!
Waiting impatiently for your answer...
edit: ahahahahhahaha - HATE_QUAKELIVE
nice...
