Who Are You?
elDiablo on the forums. Kavina elsewhere, mostly in games where there are too many elDiablos to count.
I originally took to the internet years ago, and only truly joined my first community (on the Introversion forums) around 7 years ago. I joined THN after thatbloke poked me to, and this is when the amount of online games I played exploded. So I blame thatbloke for my lack of time.
What Do You Do?
For THN I am currently developing (although slowly at the moment) a small integration of the XFire live status XML feeds with Ronin Storm's Play Finder, to not only tell you who plays what, but if anyone is actually playing it right then and there. Mostly just to provide even more information to you, the viewer!
Away from THN, I have now been working for Introversion Software since July 2007, after completing an MEng in Computer Science at the University of Southampton.
When Did You Join THN?
March 2006. Only after I fell in love with BF2. And I only fell in love with it because it would let me fly jets. And so I wanted to share that love with others, as I'm sure some people who played BF2 with me will tell you!
What Games Do You Enjoy?
I mostly enjoy games that are fun. Yeah, very generic view. And very biased in my opinion, but oh well.
I enjoy co-operative games, RTSs, FPSs, RPGs, puzzle games, and space sims. All of these can be on or offline. I do not enjoy games that you can not get into very easily. This can range from MMORPGs that require you to spend a lot of time doing the same easy job before you can do anything fun, to games that you die the moment you spawn due to not knowing every square inch of the game, while someone else does...
As a short list, I like BF2, BF2142, HL2, STALKER, Freespace, Company of Heroes, Halo, Darwinia, Command and Conquer, System Shock 2, Zelda: Twilight Princess, and Crackdown. I love Portal and Multiwinia. No games can even come close to these.

Pet Peeve?
People who argue about other's beliefs without realising that other people's thoughts need not be the same as everyone else's. If we all felt the same about everything, there may be no war, but I'm damn sure there would be no creativity either.
