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 - TF2 - 22-08-2009 - Free Weekend is Free Edition insomnia | 6:52 AM on 08.22.2008 4 comments

Well, the first FNF since the heavy update and the first day of the next free weekend. Class limits on the heavy are in place so that we won't get heavy fortress 2... For the rest, another round of custom maps and hopefully we can do some pick ups and RPS as well... So come one, come all for another great round of Euro FNF. * arena_starship_b2 - Caffeine made the first custom arena map based on starships middle point, it played well during the initials playtests. * cp_industrial - An attack/defend map which plays at night, looks good and seems fun. * cp_fallout - Good looking CP map with a great name... Heard it played well on the US server so let's try it out on the European one. The important information: Map Pack - This has most of the customs on the server and the few that aren't on there will be downloaded automatically when and if they get played. If you had a reserved slot on Caffeine's server, you will have it on this one as well, if you don't and want a reserved spot: mail me your Steam ID on FNF [at] ams-sec [dot] org Time: 18:00 UTC (That's GMT fyi) Server: brbuninstalling.com #3 European Server [FastDL|Customs|Stock|HLStatsX|Voting] IP: ares.ams-sec.org:27015 Password: N/A (Unless we get enough regulars, in that case the password will be 'littlecart') Spill-Over Server: Server: brbuninstalling.com #2 Goldrush/Dustbowl IP: 18.243.2.105:27015 Password: N/A Spill-Over-Over: Server: brbuninstalling.com #1 [FastDL|Customs|HLStatsX|Voting] IP: 8.12.20.112:27015 Password: littlecart Spillover Instructions: 1) Join the overflow server 2) Open the server browser menu, double click on the destructoid server and click 'auto-retry' and then click 'join as soon as a slot is available'. 3) Hit Esc to close the menus, this will allow you to continue to play TF2 while you wait for a slot to open. **Your reserve slot will work on all three servers** Attached photos:
