Hi there, thanks for dropping by.
Yes, I am an OAP (Old Age Pensioner) or, as the Americans so politely put it, a Senior (I much prefer that term) and live in London, England. I haven't officially retired, but I do live on a pension at the moment.
I have been playing computer games since ping-pong came out (see FAQ), but have only been playing online for just over a year and have achieved the lofty heights of AVERAGE!
I played Black Ops last year and not long before BF3 and MW3 came out I completed the full 15 prestiges. Not skill, but sheer persistence!
I don't play seriously, but for enjoyment. So if you want to see how NOT to play BF3 (and the occassional MW3) and have a laugh at my expense, then follow me
FAQ: (these are actual questions I have been asked while streaming)
Q: How old are you
A: 64 in January 2013.
Q: Have you ever been in a war?
A: I have never fought in a war, but I was in Cyprus when the Greeks tried to ethnically cleanse the Turkish Cypriots. I wasn't involved in any way and didn't see any "cleansing"; - thank goodness.
Q: Were you ever in the forces?
A: Yes, I did 9 years in the British Royal Airforce from August 1971 to August 1980. I was a Corporal when I left.
Q: Why did you join up?
A: I simply joined as I had no self discipline. It worked for a few years, but now I'm back to square one!
Q: How long have you been playing on the XBOX?
A: I started playing games on the XBOX in November 2009.
Q: How long have you been playing online?
A: Since Black Ops came out.
Q: How long have you been playing computer games?
A: The first computer game I played was ping pong. My brother bought this box that you plugged into the TV aerial and it allowed you to play ping pong on the TV! Not sure if that counts as a computer game as there was no actual computer involved (in fact personal computers were not even invented at that time!). The first computer game I remember was King Kong, played on one of the first "consoles" - a Sinclair ZX80.
Q: Is your hair really white?
A: No. There is no such thing as white hair. What looks white is actually colourless, but, because there is a bunch of it, light cannot pass through, but rather "bounces" back, thus appearing to be white. Yes, my hair is mostly colourless.
Q: Do you just play Metro?
A: I played Metro Conquest almost exclusively for a long time, but now am also playing TDM on different maps.
Q: Do you always run Recon with the M417?
A: Mostly, but sometimes I will start with the Assault class and an M416 or SCAR-L; sometimes when running recon, I will change to the M98B with 12x scope when spawn trapped/trapping.
Yes, I use "mostly" a lot. What was the question?##
