yelropS 15 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Just signed up so guess I should probably introduce myself... I'm 24, from the UK (Essex originally but now an adopted Northerner) and have gamed for as long as I can remember. For various reasons (mostly revolving around the unwanted responsibilities that you acquire as you age) my gaming time is nowhere near what it once was, but I still jump on the xbox for a few hours a week, normally playing Fortnite or Fifa but will likely (definitely) be adding Black ops 4 and RDR2 to that list. I've typically been a CoD player over the years but the recent releases haven't really caught my attention (I played competitively from WaW to Ghosts so played to a decent standard). Outside of gaming my life pretty much revolves around socialising and sport. I religiously follow boxing, F1 and football and also play cricket, ski, and boxed up until recently. I'm between jobs at the moment so have a bit of extra time, which is ultimately why I'm writing this as I used to have a lot of fun "back in the day" as part of a community. So yeah, that's me, any questions feel free to ask 👍 NCA-Paendrag, GazzaGarratt and BO7H B4RRELS 3 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/6426-guess-im-new/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
