^^That explains a lot about you Fuss.....alot. :p


I'm an American living in Europe. I work in the IT arena also, for a smallish American company that has a "clause" in the contract that states an American employee will oversee all Network Operations. So I get to enjoy life in Warsaw, Poland for now...in a couple of years I might be in England or Spain or Tokyo or anywhere of over 256 locations around the world. The money's good, but the benefits are better. Free housing, no bills, and all medical covered.

I'm currently tooling around in an Audi TT and loving life. Finally settled down after a wild 10 years (been on the job for 5) and have a steady GF. She hates the computer and the time it takes me away from her. Sadly, I've thought once or twice of leaving her just so I could play more PS.....Did I say that out loud?


Anyway, if your ever in Warsaw, Poland give me a hollar! Oh, originally from Philadelphia, PA. And turned 30 last July.

Cheers,

[Peete]

I live in Strasbourg (East of France, close to Germany), I'm 26 and works in an University as WEB developper.
I don't have a car but a scooter, way faster and cheaper. :)

[Brask]

Germany/Mars here, still studying in the field of electrical/ power engineering, hopefully *cough* finished *cough* soon. I hate to say but I guess without PS/online games in general I would have finished 0.5-1 year earlier :confused:

[Nikodemus]

I come from Denmark, I'm erhm ... must be 22 years old by now.

Bunch of info only locals will understand : born in Vejle, lived in V. Smidstrup 'till age 8?, then in Bredsten 'till this october, where I moved to Kolding.

School -> technical high school -> work at a gas station -> mandatory military service (as a medical orderly) -> work at same gas station and now ...
I'm on my first year at The University of Southern Denmark (Kolding dept.), studying English and Information Technology (whatever that'll lead to).
I actually had a lot of trouble deciding between going to uni or becoming a nurse (seriously). Still have my doubts every once in a while to be honest.

Live in my own little apartment (which I'm growing more and more fond of even though it's about 18 squaremeters) - haven't bothered getting my bike here yet (still at my parents' place), so it's a 20~25 minute walk to uni and back, which actually suits me quite fine.

Sadly, I've thought once or twice of leaving her just so I could play more PS.....Did I say that out loud?


Anyway, if your ever in Warsaw, Poland give me a hollar! Oh, originally from Philadelphia, PA. And turned 30 last July.LOL
:D :D
Classic before I got married Girl before used to whine and whine about the Playstaion PC so I sold the lot :eek: (She was a Dancer what can I say) and concentrated on cars and Go carting, it was then I realised that basically anything that took my attention away from her she would have a go, so guess what? she GONE

[justinalot]

Got a motorcycle, but one far better than justin's, a Honda CBR900RR 2004 :D :)

*Gets up from floor from laughing too much*

Yes the Blade was the Bike to have but now the R1 really is the coolest looking bike on the road. ;) :D :)

Top speed on Old bikes

Kawaka F3 600 ZZR 157mph
Yamaha R6 172 mph
Yamaha R1 192 mph (Racing a AMG E55 was fun)

Normally catch me on the A3 going into London. (if ya a copper ;) )

[Tapja]

I live in an obscure country called Estonia, currently in the small fishing village of Tallinn ;). Was born in Estonia and will most likely live here till the end of my days. Am 28(?), if my count is correct. Work I do, however, is classified :cool:

[Nyana]

I havent adjusted engine or exhaust yet, all is factory settings and i reach a speed around 292km/h, don't want to push it further I admit I don't have the balls for it, I just enjoy a good trip from A to B but with a "normal" speed (120-150km/h) then those fat bitches on Goldwings, Harley's and other scrapmetal (20-50km/h or 0km/h when another part fell on the ground while the engine is stationairy :D). Must say my bike is very responsive at high speeds and doesnt shake as much as my older CBR600F (1999 > Yellow/Green model). I have my bike for the looks and fun, I'm still working on a good kneedown but as mentioned before, I don't have the balls for it yet, sue me :)


Edit: Many people own a R1/R6 now so it's not cool to have one anymore, when I go to Assen for the TT I see millions of R1's and I wonder if the driver can find his bike back between hundreds of others with the same colors :p

[justinalot]

Yeah know what you mean there a hell of alot of them.

Sounds like we have same skills on a bike I want to stay alive so I tend not to over cook the Corners.

I have gone down the inside of a Knee downer with out putting my knee down it was well funny

[Nyana]

The old one and the new one :)

[Derekian]

OMG that bike is horny :o

[Visionaire]

Name's Michael, I'm from Odense, Denmark. 22 years old. Currently living in a flat with 2 friends (one is Shinigami) and my girlfriend. *Insert random "these are my hobbies" text here* and *insert random "im so uber" text here*. :D

[Joock]

I am swiss, I'm living in the mountains, in the mourning I go to the stables and
get milk from the cows, then I make cheese and play PS then I eat my fondue and.... :confused:

Not really, I'm living in a normal house and do an apprenticeship.

Swiss is boring, my town is boring, nothing happens!
But not far away, there is Basel and there is the FC Basel, and they own, they dominate the swiss "Super League"(so is the Swiss Soccer League called, no we aren't insane, but our Soccer is crap!)

And I'm probably the only swiss person that is interested in American Football! Steelers for the win!(Roethlisberger!!!!)

[moose]

i might as well add me here as well. my name is oliver and i'm 23, living in west london now. at the minute i study during the week at uni (just about to start my final semester) and work in a well known music store at the weekends.

i been playin ps now longer than what is healthy but still love it. recently i've also really got into cs:s, and apart from those two i dont play anything else unless i ain't online, like now...

[Fusion]

I'm Jools, 22, born in Derby (a shitty city in the midlands of England) and still live in the area. I almost failed my degree in Popular Music due to PlanetSide :)

I'm unemployed at the moment, but have been working in web/software development for the past year and I want to continue that or move into Network Operations.

I don't have a flash car, but it is quite comfy - 17 year old top of the range Honda Accord 2ltr automatic donated to me by my grandmother when driving around Bristol became too much for her... Can't argue with free stuff! :)

Used to have a motorbike, after passing my test the only thing I could afford to insure was a desrestricted Aprilia RS125. It went like shit off a shovel (for a bike of it size) and I upset many a rider on a big bike along twisty roads :) Unfortunately a low-side the day after a £400 major service did it in. Or more precisely the car that drove over it did it in and it was going to work out cheaper to buy a new bike than to repair it.

I play the drums and I have an odd taste in music.

[Echor]

Do you people really want to know?

I'm Jules, 44 married with 2 young children, 3rd due early March :eek:

I've done a lot of things so won't bore you with it all, I ended up being owner of one company and director of another, retired nearly 10yrs ago :D

Must admit I'm thinking of going back to work, but finding something thats interesting is proving difficult :(

[NTT]

I don't rate CS. Waiting for Day of Defeat and CS2. I'm easing myself back into PS gradually. From my experience on PS yesterday I'd say it's about time too. Things are getting slack. :mad:
