About Me


Welcome to my blog.

I'm a 26 year old gamer from Amsterdam, The Netherlands, who was brought up with PC games and Nintendo. My first gaming experiences where on the MSX and the C64 but the first game that I really remember playing was Prince of Persia on my 80286 PC.
After that I was hooked on games, especially the Lucas Arts and Sierra adventure games engaged me in a way I never thought possible before that. The day I saw a NES at a friends place with Super Mario Bros. on it I had to get one and after whining a lot my father finally got me one... Mario, Zelda, Metroid... they where all mine to play now and ate up so many hours of my childhood, I was a Nintendo kid and my love for Nintendo's games remain till this day.
I took a break from console gaming after the SNES era even though I stuck with PC games for the entire time. I had a gamecube which I didn't own many games for because I only bought it to play Metroid Prime. A few years back I bought a Nintendo DS on a whim. The DS rekindled my love for console gaming and got me to keep up with gaming news (here on Destructoid) and also got me to buy a Wii.

I also own a European TF2 server:

Euro FNF - Team Fortress 2: Whores need to learn patience edition
insomnia | 9:18 AM on 06.20.2008 6 comments




Ah yes, it's the day after the big Pyro update and the first chance most Europeans get a chance to really try it out. Because we don't want to have one eternal fiery hell for the entire FNF we'll whore on the European server when the US FNF starts so that the people who don't want to whore have a place to continue playing as well.

Hopefully we'll have enough regulars this night that I can actually lock the server with a password and do some fun pick ups and other stuff!

The custom map of today will be cp_redstone - This is from the same maker as cp_fastlane which I personally like so far, so let's see how his other map will play.

The important information:

Disguising as Medic is always fun just to add an extra challenge

I wish my PC was, you know, good.

Also, there are enough incompetent Medics out there that you might just get away with it more often than you'd think. ;)

I'll be there after work (sooner if I go home early... with the way I'm feeling). We'll see how long I can honestly go until I give up and start whoring the achievements as well. ^_^
