Hi folks, just posting the usual n00b thread.
I'm a bit of an old git (43) and have been PC gaming on and off since the days of the 286, with various micros before that. I estimate that the amount of time I've spent playing Civ, Frontier, UFO enemy unknown and Tie fighter/X wing alone is probably enough to scare me if I ever added it all up.
Laptop history has been a variety of Thinkpads (the missus and I used to buy the odd wreck off ebay and fix the common faults and flog them on here and there) followed by a couple of Dell inspirons. Then Dell went to the dark side and I've come to PCS for a decent machine at a decent price.
Not as much time to play PC games these days, as the missus and I acquired our first nookiefruit a few months back, but try to get the odd game of CoD in (old lappy was too poor spec for BF3 before anyone chimes in :tt2: ) Used to play a good amount of board games and CCGs, but again, not so much time these days. Both of us work in the business division of a large Comms provider and are going part time in the new year 'cos childcare costs are stupid! We've got three cats, a couple of tortoises and are looking to adopt a rescue dog soon-ish (like we're not busy enough.)
Hope to see people on Steam when next COD appears, and will try to nip in the forums here and there.
Cheers
