This game has affected us all in some way. For me, it has forever changed my perspective of gaming and the people who play them. I am currently living in Europe in a team house. I am surrounded by people who view this as their job. Had someone told me I'd end up here I would have laughed and directed them to a mental institute.

Four years ago, I met a dude with big glasses who liked to play computer games. Its amazing how the current of life sweeps you to unexpected places and...

  • I do not need a new monitor, speakers or keyboard and mouse

Things I don't know:
