A bit about myself

Just wanted to let everyone know about myself...been in the gaming world for quite a number of years. I started off playing pong back in the day, lol. Ya I know I just dated myself, oh well. I then progressed thru the commodore 64, Intellivision, Vectrex, Atari 5200, Colecovision, NES, Sega Genesis, the various Playstations and abit on the X-box and latest Nindendo platforms. I did steer away from consoles after Sega Genisis came out to PC gaming. I enjoy the flexibility, mod-ability and the keyboard mouse combo for an interface. Gaming consoles are fun though...games like NHL2009 are great when people are over but for FPS and MMO type games...PCs win hands down. Here is a link to an interesting site I found: http://www.thegameconsole.com/

In regards to the name Underpants, its stems from an old boss of mine...his last name was Underhill...a number of us in the office would call him Underpants instead as a joke. So when it came time to pick a nickname for me to use in Multiplayer servers, thats what I used in his honor..lol. My full name now is <82ndab>GEN.Underpants.

Anyway, lets move onto myself. I started online gaming in seriousness a few years back when I found myself laid off from my job at the time and had way too much time on my hands. A friend had the game Medal of Honor(a world war 2 based FPS or First Person Shooter) and it looked like alot of fun, so I picked it up and haven't looked back. I started off with the single player and it was fun, but you can only play it so many times and its becomes pretty boring. So next I tried multiplayer. At first, I really didn't like it, all I could find was servers full of people running around with machine guns, jumping down 3 stories at a time, arms flailing about, absolutely nothing like what actually happened in real warfare during the war. I did happen about a realism server where things were slowed down...people took their time, they actually aimed and didnt spray and pray. It almost felt like the real thing, of course there is the limitations of it being a video game but I fell in love with the type of gameplay. I was recruited by the 17SS a realism clan which nearly fell apart until I stepped up and started running practices for scrimmages(facing other clans in an organized match) and when the current leader retired and promoted me to the position. This history is for another post though..I will get to it later. Once MOHAA burnt itself out, I moved onto Call of Duty series and still play COD2 and COD5 to this day. I am also involved with World of Warcraft.
