Hello julle!
Most people here know me as oltman, but what few people know is that my birth name is actually Oltman. My parents just chose such a cool name that it makes an awesome online nick as well! I used to go by ACowYesACow because it used to be funny that “Player1 got shotgunned by ACowYesACow”.
I am Afrikaans, a husband to the most amazing English wife, a daddy to 2 beautiful girls. One 2 going on 3, the other 6 going on 16! I live in Salt Rock, KZN. I live for Jesus since he died for me.
I am a typical gadget freak and love anything that works with electrical current, big or small. I have drones, r/c planes, cameras, gimbals, Raspberry Pis (Pi’s? Pies? More than one Pi…), consoles and off course my number one love, my gaming PC. My Steam collection is too big. I know that. But its a monster that I need to keep fed.
I used to write gaming reviews for El33tonline.com and currently dabble in the odd review for PennyWorthReviews.com. SOme friends are trying to push me to write a book, I am not sure it’s such a good idea!
My favourite gaming genres include:
- open world adventures like GTA, Watch Dogs, Assassins Creed
- story driven games like The Wolf Among Us, Life Is Strange
- co-op games that bring people together like Jackbox, Overcooked (this might actually push people away!)
- sports titles, either team or racing, like Forza, FIFA, PES
Looking back I actually like any game! Just don’t make me sit and read for hours on end, so no JRPGs!!!
My other interest include sport and recently had to give up playing rugby due to an injury. I try to stay fit but it feels like an endless battle!
I am in the construction industry and work as a Contracts Manager, so I drive a lot. During these trips I love listening to Audible and my favourite authors are Scott Meyer, Lee Child and one amazing book by Alexander C Kane called Andrea Vernon and the Corporation for UltraHuman Protection. Go check it out!
So that’s me. Amazing that I can squeeze 40 years into 371 words!
