Hey all! Well it?s been two good years here at eGO! Today is my 2nd anniversary! So I thought I?d share a bit about me and how I found eGO.
It all started when my bro got a sweet game for Christmas...HL2. I remember trying it out and hating it. It came with a game called Counter-strike source....hmm what?s the harm in trying?? I was hooked! I played it for about a year. Then lost interest. Our computer got formatted and all the files were lost. I could not find the disks. Me being the knob I was, did not realise that when you activated a game on steam, you could re-download it at any time. So I went out and dropped 50$ on Counterstrike. And it came along with Day of Defeat. I played counterstrike for about a month, and thought I?d try DoD out. I was hooked! At the time I was in love with all WWII games. I played many nights on this game. I had a crappy computer and lagged terribly. Not the lag spikes every once and a while, lag 24/7. I would have to quite the game. When I played on servers that I didn?t lag on, I would add them to my favourites. 24/7 Avalanche eGO was on my list and I played there every day. I eventually joined and had a blast. I remember when eGO was thinking about getting another server...24/7 Donnor. There was lots of talk about getting it and not getting it....I think leadership was worried we would not be able to keep both full. I was playing on the server on day and a couple guys were swearing. I asked them to stop. JohnT told me I was up for consideration for a promotion. I was so excited! We did not have a lot of people in the clan and there were many times no admin was on. I Must have sent JohnT like 5 PMs begging him for admin....and I finally got it....BTW I'm not suggesting you PM Johnt about getting admin now as you will probably never get promoted. Any way I was eG for a while and then gave up my G because I wasn?t playing and there was no use for me having admin if I wasn?t playing. After about 2 months I was able to play again. We still only had 2 servers I believe. eGO has taught me a lot. Everything I know about Photoshop or anything I have learned from eGO. I made this sig of a German looking down a tank barrel and getting shot. I posted it in the forums and said first one to post gets it. Well a new =(e)= posted first and got the sig.....his name was....=(e)= Master of Puppets. Yes, I was here before MoP. Anyway, This was all before we got split into houses. I joined the house ?Rojo?s Raiders? lead by Barron Rojo. (its now ?the raiders? lead my Fluffy). I don?t want to stir up and more issues or fights with this next part, so I will leave out details. Jones was a house in DoD and split off to make their own clan...their tag is JNS|. A lot of my eGO friends went to them....after being approached by many of them....I decided to join. I did not feel as welcomed as I did in eGO. I had just got TF2 and was playing it a lot. Since JNS| did not have any TF2 servers, I was always on eGO servers. I eventually came back over to eGO. I PMed Garden and asked to be allowed to come back. They said yes. And here I have been ever since.
Since then I have come to know that this is more then just a gaming clan, it?s a family. I have gotten to know a lot of people here. Every day I talk to DJsatans wife, she has become one of my best friends here...and Djsatan as well. I have also become close to people like Buga, Machinist and iceman....any many more. It?s a pleasure being here!
Congrats to all those who read this whole thing!
Thanks to everyone for making this a family!
