Hi, my name is Brian, and I'm a lazy-arse!! Which is why there is much delegation to John/Naaman round here... ;D
Naam touched on the Earth & Beyond days which was how I got involved with "Forlorn Hope" in that early incarnation, and was also the reason the online presence came to be...
Known Naam for ages, from before E&B through a mutual friend, once worked alongside Cuthbert's sister (eek now THAT was a long time ago) in the company I still work for where I now develop software and web sites, not to mention mess around with network stuff (piss me off and I can easily disable accounts, or change password to something bearing a resemblence to Klingon... oh the power!! ;D)
Been living in Reigate area for.... hmmm.... no that's far too many years to admit to.....
Toon wise I'm an almost-alt-whore, but the primary characters are
CoH: Zombieman
CoV: Dr ZeeMan
WoW: well had a second "flirtation" in the WoW recently, can't remember name, not sure will continue (jury is out so to speak), but just in case I did of course choose the best server there is... ;)
Need to start dragging my lazy-arse beyond a login prompt (any login prompt) for more than a couple of minutes to prove to people I'm still alive.....
EDIT: I have a barely started Human Warlock called Zarquin (from a quick muck around months and months ago for about a day if that), and a slightly more advanced Night Elf Hunter named Nelzur whos had a couple of quiet "how the hell does this work" weekends a month ago.

Hello!
my RL name is Anders, I am 33 years old. I grew up in Stockholm, am longtime RL friends with Asepia, Groggen and Cosmokid. Two years ago, me and my girlfriend (Minnea) moved to a small town called Lysekil on the swedish west coast. I am a musicteacher, working with gifted (16-19 year-old) teens, teaching them how to play in bands, Music Production, Theory, Harmony and that sort of stuff.
When not working or playing WoW I play the bass in bands, Scubadive or work on the house. (Just another couple of thousand easy steps until finished ;) )

If you re-join I'll bribe your character with help and lovely stuff

My real Name is Sarah. I'm 25 and work as a quality assurance tester.
I am married to Herc (Ash). And yes we really hope we move in to our new house very soon - on that note though we maybe with out internet when we first move in so no WoW!
-
Bumped to the top for any newbies who feel like telling us about themselves or some oldies filling it in cos they missed this the first time :D
-
I'm doing all the intro's today.
Real name is Doug. I live roughly in Croydon, and I also work in the Car Finance industry. Apparently I did something so wrong in a previous life that I get to sit looking straight at Swifty's mug all day, every day ;)
Thankfully only there saving my pennies until July or so before I leave and go off to Manchester Uni to study Computer Science. I'm counting down the days.
Hopefully see you online on WoW and maybe on CoH if I can find out what causes my PC to not be able to run it properly. *sigh*

What's the problem?
-
Well, I'm James. I'm 16, but only for another couple of weeks (Jan 24th). I live in Faversham, Kent, quite close to where Neodragus lives who I also go to 6th form with. I also live pretty close to Necromann who is also in our guild, who I also use to go to school with. I am a Ski Instructor and also a Leisure Assistant (gotta love the job title, makes me sound like some kind of whore xD) at the Gillingham John Nike Leisure Center on Thursdays and Sundays afternoons/evenings.
-
What's the problem?
Loading screens take about 4-5 mins a time, and in order to not lagg horribly, even with no other open programs I have to be on the lowest graphics setting. After downloading the Omega drivers I was geting BSoD's left, right and centre.
Reckon it's graphics card based, but tbh, not enough spare cash to buy another, better one to support my theory.
My card is ATI Radeon X600 - 256 Mb.
-
Check here http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=3760966&an=0&page=0#Post3760966 for graphics problems. Look for the Uninstall using driver cleaner instructions then re-install drivers from the ATI site, then check near the end of this thread http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=8661590&an=0&page=0&gonew=1#UNREAD for best graphics settings.
BTW - how much RAM do you have?

My real name is Mikaela, I'm 20 years old. I live in southern Stockholm and have done so for all my life. I work at a supermarket, where I met Tord (Kheldár) and the bastard got me hooked on WoW. I have a couple of alts but they are mostly on the Horde side. What can I say? I have a thing for trolls. ;)
-
Hey Mikaela good too see you. Horde you say??
Any PVP tips you can offer - pass them on to Tord!!!?
Nice to meet you
Mark
-
Hi Mikaela, dont forget to come to the guild meet on May 3rd. it will be in Stockholm.
Tord and Henrik are sorting out the venue.
-
Is it just for one day then the guild meet? I figured we were staying for a few days?
And a big hi to Mikaela :D
-
we are staying for a few days, but it is a little in practical to spend 3 days in the pub!!!
May 3rd is just the day we will all go to Tords predetermined place and meet up.
I plan to be there from the friday until the monday/tuesday.
I wasnt going to book your whole weekend for you :P
-
I know you've checked Hurc so you might know this. But be careful about flights on Friday they are typically more expensive.
I'll be staying in a hotel with my family so any hotel recommendations would be most welcome.
If there are any others out there with kids who want to hook up that would be great. I am hoping that for at least some of you I can introduce you to them. (Just imagine 2 Gnomes: Immune to fear, with a high aggro range - that's about it!)
Mark
-
If you fly using http://www.sterling.dk/flight (http://www.sterling.dk/flight)
the Flight is £20.00+taxes for the friday morning flight, on the monday or any subsequent day after the return flight costs £15.00+taxes.
for reference the wednesday flight is £9.00+taxes.
-
Waaah
Not quite so cheap from A'dam but still more than do-able, I'll have a chat with Duncan and see if she's up for it (which, ofc I'm sure she will be :) )
Still the cheapest flight company i have found too :)
-
Hi, I'm Cuthbert (gnome), Whytepetal (night elf), Kissitbetter (night elf), Downtosleep (forsaken), Bopeep (orc), Sussurar (blood elf), Ancoke (troll), Lemonaid (tauren), Tiddywink (another gnome, no, no excuse for that one) on Shadowsong and IRL I'm Rachel, live in Radhill with John /Naaman, I'm a qualified pharmacist and I work for a pharmacy PMR software company (the same one that Naaman works for and Herc and Night and Swifty and Carthis used to work for).
I also have odd characters on other servers, notably Spinebreaker (Pebble the troll and Lovestomp the tauren).
Ta Da!
Please note that when Cuthebert plays 'I spy' she really doesn't CARE if you are on a different continent. Guess anyway :)
