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:

European FNF - Team Fortress 2 - I'm back edition insomnia | 11:41 AM on 07.11.2008 3 comments

(Thanks for the pic bloodylip) After last weeks epic party weekend I'm staying home tonight and ready for another awesome EuroFNF. I'm still not confident to lock the server up but so far we've been having fun anyway, especially because there are enough admins around. The custom maps of today will be: cp_cowpath_b3 - This is a map inspired by warpath... It looks great and hopefully plays great as well. ctf_face_45 - A port of my favourite map in Unreal Tournament, hopefully it will be as much fun in TF2. The important information: Map Pack - This has been updated with all the custom maps we play except the new ones linked above, so download it to save yourself from lots of downloading. 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: 20:00 CEST (GMT +2) 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 'point') 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: point 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:
