Default Any Other On-Line Gamers?

Just so we are quite clear here I am a geek not a nerd. I use a PC not a PlayBox 390 having a wii. Nerds use gamining consoles. Geeks use proper computers...............
I play Call of Duty 4 on-line with the name of Figure 11.

I also play CS:S and BF2. Very occasianally a bit of TF2 and when I am feeling depressed the Half Life series.

Anyone else out there?

Used to be a serious Desert Combat (bf1942 mod)/Dawn of war rts Nerd, costed the upgrade to my pc to make the next gen of games playable and bought a 360 for a 1/3 of the cost instead. Sick of the PC hardware race.

Well I'm a geek too, I'd be an online gamer if my lifestyle allowed it, but alas - 3G datacard gaming is a no-no really, so I have to make do battling bots in FPS and exploring Fallout 3 (still exploring...)

Have had a few battles on UT2K4 in the past, but I don't really get much time to geek these days so I tend to just concentrate on big FPS games that take ages to get through!
