HL2 Player Statistics (The BIO Thread)

[fido139]

Hello all fellow Half-Life addicts!

I (and many others of us out here) would love to hear what some of your ages are, a little about yourself, what your primary computer equipment is, and maybe some of the other games you have played. Please be truthful, no need to make things up.

Me: Viet-Nam Veteran, 58 years old. Photographer and PC mechanic.
Equipment: Nuthin' special but gets the job done... Dell Dimension 5150, intel 650 HT P4 3.4 GHz Processor, GeForce 7600 GT 256Mb, 2 Gb RAM, 20" Wide screen ViewSonic LCD monitor model VA2012wb.
Other Games I have tried: Fear, Halo, Bioshock, TimeShift, Doom, FEAR, but by far I prefer Half-Life,and have played every release since the first HL1.

I am no "gamer" by any means, but find HL2 to be a great stress release after fighting losing battles with a Macintosh all day long in the graphics industry.

Photo attached of my little corner of the world.

My .02 cents worth, hope others will post!

I can't take a picture of my "little corner" as I don't really have one, and my computer's on the floor . Stinks
Built it myself though , and it's a beauty. Well, I think she is.

So much for not talking to strangers over the internet

I don't know what my computer stats are. All I know is every few years I pay my friend who happens to be a Computer Science major to update my PC to make my video games look shinny.

Wow, nice BIO, thanks! I started on the Commodore 64 myself in the 80's. Had quite a few computers since that time, with another list of games to go with them.
