Just some guy, who likes to chew bubblegum and play games... and is all out of bubblegum.

Let's just say I'm probably older than you. In fact, I have kids on Steam who might be older than you. My son took over my original Steam account when he was in his teens (and now has my CS 5-year & 10-year badges - dang it!). You might derive some age clues later.

Do you remember the first time you played an online multiplayer game and it asked you for a unique name? For me, that game was Quake II. I had always wanted to play Quake, but couldn't afford a computer with the specs that would run it until after Quake II was released. I settled on the name War Pig because I was fresh out of the Army and my favorite song by the band Black Sabbath was War Pigs [en.wikipedia.org]. The name has stuck with me ever since then.
Some of you old-timers who played Quake II (and later Counter-Strike, back when it was still a mod for Half-Life) may possibly remember me playing with these clan tags:
- War Pig[BK]
- *WKA*War Pig

The Magnavox Odyssey 300 [en.wikipedia.org]. I didn't just play Oldschool Tennis , I played old school tennis.

The Texas Instruments TI-99/4A [en.wikipedia.org]. I learned to program in BASIC on this. My 1st computer software game was a BASIC program that I manually typed in and later loaded from a cassette that I had saved it to.

While I like most games, first person shooters were what really got me hooked on PC gaming. My avatar is from one of the most groundbreaking games of all time (I still have the floppy disk for it). As games have progressed, I find open-world games that involve exploration are my favorite. They don't necessarily have to be shooters.

To be honest, I never cared about it before. Now, it's a hobby and I enjoy making trades with people.

I read that as "Will you please add me to your list of blocked players?", so no.

Get off my lawn!
