Hoy, can you shortly introduce yourself?

Hm, just turned 20 in November. I go to college and am in a fraternity. Thing is I'm a closet gamer, have been since I started in '97. So it's hard to keep this game underwraps, so I mainly play when I'm at home and over breaks :p

Can you tell us your history in the video games? Especially in the Age of series.

Started off when Age of Empires 1 had just came out. Didn't do much of anything special tournament wise in the game because there was really only the Praetor_ tournament, back in 1998, and that was never even finished. I played some RoR, but I didn't like many features such as slower shore-fish, mediterranean map, the new fog where you couldn't see cut trees through it, etc. So instead I started playing EverQuest. I was one of the first 50 druids on Rallos Zek, ended up selling for a good chunk of change in December of 1999. I went back to Age of Empires 1 from here.

The next game I played was Rise of Nations, which launched in May of 2003. That was an exceptional game. When I played I was easilly the best player. I think I won the first 4 or 5 tournaments, but got quickly fed up with Multiplayer issues and the fact that most of my friends (some from AOE1 that I lured to the game) had quit. I quit about a month before 2003 AOM WCG for the USA. I went into WCG almost 6-months cold turkey on AoM. When I got there I asked Chromage which civ was the most overpowered, I think it was Isis? Or maybe Set? Set was my civ from when I started, so he quickly told me the new strategies (which wasn't all that different from mine.. I think I had to summon animals or something though). I played a couple practice games, got a fairly easy bracket. I played Hope_ and Inc in my last two games, two games I could have won (They were pretty damn good!), but didn't and ended up 3rd.

When AoT came out, I had 4 names in the top 11, and then quit. I couldn't do anymore Age of Mythologie :p

Latest game has been World of Warcraft on the US:Archimonde server. My guild is <Dominion> (Killed Nefarion a couple weeks ago!), but my brother and I haven't really played since January 05 tongue.gif The grind to 60 was fun, but the constant "End game" instance runs was not. I prefered the feeling of killing Nagafen for the first time to killing General Drakkish or Ragnaros tongue.gif Those were nothin!
