A bit about you.

[Tyr]

This may have been done before but it'll be out of date and I think it's a good idea to have something like this at the moment.

So tell us a bit about yourself. We're all cooped up here waiting for a game that is becoming more and more frustrating to wait for as time goes on, the result is us seemingly ripping into each other for no reason or just proving ourselves to be general internet retards. In my experience of the online world I think it helps if people are more familliar with each other, especially since eventually we'll be relying on each other to fend off multiple zombies. I'll start so you get the idea.

Real Name: Peter.
Other Aliases: Mostly 'Ty". Would have been my name here too but for the three-letter minimum.
Age: 20. 21 next Saturday.
Country: New Zealand.
Occupation: University student, third year Political Science. Also work one day a week at a shithole of a place to help pay uni/beer costs. I signed up for the NZ Army territorial forces yesterday, we'll see how that turns out.
Other: My hobbies include music and computers as well as kayaking, rock climbing, writing and drawing. I'm a guitarist, at the moment mostly fingerstyle acoustic. I used to draw a cartoon stip for the University magazine, since I stopped doing that I just draw random scribbles for no reason, (my avatar is a 30 second scribble of mine.) I've been a staff member at Bf2s.com for over two years and as well as regularly contributing to that site there are a couple of others I frequent, this being one of them.
As for gaming I'm mostly an FPS nerd, basically because I can't stand the hecticness of modern RTS games, (give me AoE 1 over anything today.) I'm mostly playing TF2 at the moment just because it's casual no-stress gaming. I'm mostly on the GameArena 24/7 2 Fort server.

Oh, I'm also insane.
