Tell us a bit about yourself (info for SS)

I’ll try,

I like games(PC only), anime(see anime thread), knives, swords, airsoft guns.

Starting to get into jrpg type games, i really don’t like battle royal games. I also find FPS games fun but there hasn’t been a really good one since DOOM (2016), though BF V was quite fun. I also like racing games, NFSU2 being my favourite with The Crew 1 coming in a close second, but GRID racedriver and GRID 2 is also really fun. No simulated racing games though, i really suck with those

I am a massive warcraft3 fan, and if WoW was not subscription i would probably play it.

And that’s kinda it really, not much else to say, favourite animals are cats, i like the colours blue, black, and white

Alright let’s do this thing.

I have a wife and 2 kids, aged 4 and 7, being a dad is both a rewarding and challenging adventure! I am a pastor at a church, this is my calling in life and I have tremendous job satisfaction serving the Lord. I’m involved in the music side of things at church as well and play bass guitar (and am a dormant piano player)

My main hobby is gaming on PC, I enjoy a huge variety of games and my Steam library and other platform libraries, are quite extensive the only problem is finding the time to play them. I also really love 2D platformers, back from the days of playing on my dad’s old Atari and my Sega Megadrive. As a result I am quite into indie and retro style games - so anything merch related to that is awesome, (especially Hollow Knight!)

Reading is another prominent hobby of mine, when it comes to leisure reading Fantasy is my go-to genre. My current favourite author is Brandon Sanderson, I have been working my way through his books and loving them. I’d love to discover a new fantasy author so if you dear SS have any favourites/recommendations go for it! Authors such as Tolkien, Pratchett, Rothfuss, Follet, Gemmel, Donaldson, Paolini all feature on my read list.

I used to run, really should get out there again. I have dabbled a bit in playing golf.

I love good coffee and enjoy trying out different blends. I’ve got my own little coffee station with bean grinder, French press and filter coffee machine which can do espressos and frothed milk. The funny thing is, my wife doesn’t drink coffee and tea at all.

I think that should be enough to go on, good luck Secret Santa!

Haha would love to make jokes about everyone but just don’t have the time. @DarthMol I didn’t know you were a pastor.

Please don’t listen to the music that I’ve been posting in the What are you listening thread. :slight_smile:

uuuuhhhmmm …

Ok lets see since this is more about dishing out hints… PC games are my primary form of entertainment, I don’t really watch many series or movies, when it comes to gaming I am mostly a RPG fan, then action/strategy or anything with interesting mechanics really , FPS are the games I play least but still enjoy.

I suck at this.
I’ll try I guess…

I’m an allrounder type of person, but I’ll try and break it down.

  • Gaming is obviously my main hobby, I like most games except for sports games, and recently VR came into my life. I don’t have a favorite game.
  • I like anime, and like a proper weaboo I want to learn Japanese, I start and stop every so often.
  • My favorite Superhero is Spiderman(call me a kid) and I’m upset that the new Spiderman game is not on PC :frowning:
  • Eventhough I don’t like sports games, I do like to watch sport XD. I watch F1 and I’m a Ferrari fan. I also watch Cricket and Rugby(including 7s) but only when South Africa plays. Soccer I don’t really care for except in the World Cup. same for Athletics(only in the Olympics lol)
  • I’m a bit of a car guy as well but as with everything I do, not too involved. I also LOVE Drifting(Too poor to do it myself however).
  • Having never been a sporty person, I suddenly started playing Action Cricket about 2 years or so ago, and have been playing almost ever since. Missed like 2 games in total haha
  • Another thing I suddenly started doing was Obstacle Course Races, that came out of no where. Now I love it. I still suck at running though.
  • I’m a Technical Specialist(sounds fanceh)
  • Socially, if you speak to me, I speak to you :smiley: I won’t generally start a conversation though.

Lol @ Talentloos, that’s how I feel, and yet I wrote alot now. Eish :confused:
Sorry if I bore you guys with whatever I just said.

Fan of the star-gate series and so many more.
Funny things is I love rpg but have been struggling with them . mostly playing gw2 and heroes of the storm at the moment waiting for star citizen and cyberpunk 2077.

I love coop games. but fewer and fewer people seems to play coop games.

I love doing diy projects but have not been able to do it for a while now hopefully that will change now. Project mini garden!

I love animation series. I can’t get enough I Just finished Hilda on netflix and dragon prince.

I also enjoy alternative art.

Right, given that I asked for a Steam gift I’ll try to make this simple.

I grew up playing the classics. I cut my gaming teeth on Wolfenstein 3D, Dune 2, Command & Conquer, Syndicate, Wing Commander, TIE Fighter, SIM City… You get the idea. As a result, I suffer from an almost incurable case of nostalgia, and tend to treat these newfangled “modern” games with disdain and suspicion. :smiley:

My current wishlist is short to-nonexistent; I’m always on the lookout for remakes of my favourite classics, or similar games that fall into that genre. I play mainly RTS or similar strategy games, combat flight / space sims, some racing sims (pretty much F1 only), and if I can find them, puzzle / quest games in the classic Sierra mould. Yep, all genres that have almost died out. Damn. I haven’t made this simple at all, have I?

If you, dear anonymous giftgiver, can find some inspiration from the above, well and good. If not, just suprise me. I promise to be grateful anyway. :sunglasses:

I’ll be honest you can send me anything you please, I don’t really enjoy posting about my interests in this regard, because it comes off as " Hey! I’d actually wanted this instead of that" and then what’s the point of giving some one a gift if the receiver has a basic idea of what it is. It spoils the fun of being a surprise. If you send me coal I’ll frame, just please no glitter that stuff is a nightmare is to clean.

However, since I was summoned, I’ll do my best to part take in the festivities.

I do like Gaming, why else would I be here? I would say that I enjoy first person shooters and online shooters the most. Overwatch, Rainbow Six Siege and Insurgency have giving me 100’s of hours of fun. With BFV coming in November, I am going to spend a stupid amount of time playing. I’ll dabble in ARPG’s and Strategy games every now and then, when I feel like I have had enough.

Anime, I will watch anything and everything. It all deserves a chance. Sports? I might not watch live sports of play but i sure do enjoy anime about it. Action? EXPLOSIONS!? Romance? Total sucker for it. Sci-Fi, I’m bowing down to our robot overlords as we speak.

I recently finished My Hero Acadamia, Chihayafuru and Prison School . Check out my https://anilist.co/user/Glordit/ for more soul crushing statistics and ratings on my favorites.

Running man I make a habit of trying to run daily in order to stay fit and have some fun. It helps clear my mind and gives me a good reason to get away from everything for a good couple of minutes a day. I go through a lot of socks though, for some reason. wink wink

Gill 2 in 1 shampoo is amazing btw, if anyone has any dry scalp problems, just give it a try. FYI you should never use dandruff shampoo constantly, always try use it in conjunction with others, otherwise you might become dependent on it.

I can’t think of anything else really, I live a fairly mundane life what some may call, “average” life I have a few special people in it that keep it really interesting for me and I am so very glad to have them around. If you reading this, which you probably are thank-you for all you have done.

I have been married for almost 8 years now, and we have an almost 4 year old son. 2 cats and a dog. We are also in the process of doing the necessary stuff for migrating to Australia.

I love gaming and will play almost anything (apart from Sport titles & point-and-click). I own a PC, Xbox One and PS4 Pro however the X1 doesn’t see gaming at all. I mostly use it as a media station.

I also like reading, Rugby and Cricket, cars, technology. Probably more stuff, but I’m finding it very difficult to talk about myself.

There isn’t really quarantine anymore. At least, there wasn’t back when we were planning on applying. Granted, we had a small dog at that point in time (a Yorkie), that was sadly mauled to death by the neightbour’s Jack Russel a few years ago. But I distinctly remember them dropping the quarantine requirements back then.

The two cats are going to my mother in law, and the dog to my brother in law.

I don’t know about other countries, but going to Australia the animals still have to go into quarantine. The cost for a dog is about R70k total. I would love to take my pets with, but I won’t have the extra money to pay for that as well.

For Aus the pets have to stay in quarintine for a month before they leave the country, then they can enter aus immediately on entry to Aus. my one friend took his 2 cats over when they left last year. Not sure what they paid but it wasnt 70k
