I was lurking the forums for other divisions and spotted this in the TF2 forum. Thought it would be a good idea.

Are you an =(e)=™? Want to get your name out there for everyone to know, but don't know how to do it? Want to say something about yourself and introduce yourself? Do it here!

=(eG)=™'s and =(eGO)=™'s need not apply :P

I'll start:

Hello, my name is Dillon. I play under the name gingertonic and you can find me in any of the eGO BC2 servers (except conquest rotation. i loathe conquest). I have been a PC gamer since the original Call of Duty. Bear in mind that i'm only 17 and you can see that I have been gaming for about half of my life.

I left PC gaming for a while when I got an Xbox 360 for christmas 3 years ago and played CoD4 and MW2 on the Xbox almost to the exclusion of all other games. I barely played CoD2 (which is my all-time favorite FPS) on the PC. I was never really into Source games, because my computer was never powerful enough to handle the really cool new games.

This past Christmas I was able to completely upgrade my computer, and as a result, have been playing CoD4, TF2, CS:S, and now BC2. I don't think i've turned on my xbox since january because I absolutely hate MW2 now.

I joined eGO in early March after playing on the CoD4 24/7 Crossfire and Crash servers, and quickly transferred to BC2 when I realized that I was addicted to this game.

So, for my RL: I'm 17. I live on Long Island in New York. I'll be attending the University of Notre Dame in the fall. I'm the captain of my high school's debate team and have regularly traveled all over the Northeast to different high schools and colleges such as Harvard, Princeton, and Yale for tournaments for the last 3 years. I am, in fact, a ginger, in case you couldn't tell from my profile picture and name and avatar :P I use the words "bro," "d**chebag," "terribad," and "balls" a lot while in vent, so if you can't alt-tab to see who just joined vent, just wait for me to say "whaddup bros?" or "you won't believe what this d**chebag just did" and you'll know its me.

I intend to stay with eGO until the end of my gaming career or the end of eGO, whichever comes first (hopefully, neither will come and i'll die while talking to you guys in vent).

Hi I'm Derek, I'm a Pisces and love long walks on the beach. ;)

Anywho, I've been a PC gamer since CoD1 and I'm a hardcore hardware lover.
I like Sammiches. :)
 
Hi, I am Alex, an 18 year-old fool. I love my video-games just about as much as I love my Maths. I am an Engineering Major at RMIT, Australia, specializing in Aerospace. I have been gaming since I was about 14, not a long time granted, however, it was a chance-encounter that began my gaming addiction :)

My favorite games include: (But are not limited to) Grand Theft Auto: IV, BF: Bad Company2, Call of Duty 4, Team Fortress 2, Diablo II, Portal, Sacred 2. (Also, I love Final Fantasy XIII on PS3)
My favorite music genres: Just about anything that's not scream-o, or metal, or hip-hop, or rap music, or especially main-stream music.
My favorite TV shows: The Big Bang Theory, Top Gear, Pure Pwnage, BBC Horizon, Future Weapons, Code Geass (Anime), Gundam00 (Anime), Macross Frontier (Anime).

Pleased to meet you all :)
-Alex

'Ello all-

I'm Nate just in case you couldn't tell. Im 20 for a few more weeks, and...hold on my muffin has pepper on it for some reason....okay good. Im in my forth year of mechanical engineering at UMaine, and do lots of cool research for NASA on the lunar habitat and such. Oh and Im also building a rapid prototyper and CNC milling machine in my apartment, woo.

Anyway, I've been gaming since....I dunno good question, a year after BF1942 came out, which in my eyes is the greatest FPS of all times, especially Desert Combat mod. I did some hardcore clanning in my younger days, CAL and whatnot with "Guns of Glory" and later "Guns Guts and Glory" in BF2 (Drama....don't ask, I avoid it like the plague). I play BC2 and INS mostly for online games, I do have many others I do to appease my short attention span. I also tend to have a foul mouth on vent and may talk a bit excessively, so I apologize ahead of time, Im working on it.

There is probably more that I ought to have said, and a bunch I didn't really need to but whatever, if I'm in vent, say Hi, Im not all that weird.

Hi all, name is Ian. I play under the name of Kerak. I like playing on the eGO BC2 servers esp. Conquest:) Anyway, I've been and always will be a PC gamer. I started back when the first Age of Empires Rome Edition came out. I actually enjoyed RPG's way before I started to play FPS, that was until Medal of Honor came out followed by the first Call of Duty.

I was a lone wolf for awhile until I joined eGO. Though I was part of 2 clans before, but not going into any details on what that experience was;)

I got to know eGO through playing Day of Defeat Source(I really didn't care for CSS and TF2). I officially joined eGO on 1 February 2010. I started out in the DOD:S division. Then along came BF:BC2 then joined the division b/c l can't stop playing the game:laugh::w00t:

RL: I am 21. Live in Eagle Rock, CA, USA and I am attending Pasadena City College for classes. Still deciding on what to do for a future career. Either Stage Design and Production or Paramedic or Surgical Nurse or Technician. I am also currently working at Costco for income for now.

Gameplay: U would probably know it by being in the BC2 vent channels:)

P.S. take a look at my Signature. Anyway I will always go by it b/s that is what life really is and u gotta make it your own and never give up on anything

Sounds pretty cool! I can't believe one of the BC2 members is working with NASA, that's awesome!
 
Hey all. Name's Daniel. I play under Leftenent. I recently discovered the eGO servers and love the community and low pings.

I've been a PC nerd since my early teens, back when my first computer was a x386 with 16mb ram and a 200mb HDD. Aaah, i miss that packard bell. Obviously i've upgraded since then. I've been a CoD guy since the original, and the clan i was with moved to BC. Never looked back. Never found that clan in BC2 either, so went lone wolf. Then i found eGO and joined after a day or three.

I'm 31, living in the 'burbs of Portland, Oregon. I'm back in college after the economy closed the store i was general manager at. I'm a nursing student, and am heavily involved with the music program there as well. That's pretty much all there is to me. See you in game!
