       Introduction: BIG Ben

       Gday all!
       I'm BIG Ben ... (obviously). My gaming started way back in the
       days of the Sega Mega Drive. I can hardly remember some of the
       games from back then, but the one standout was the NBA games. I
       have played countless game since then and have forgotten more
       than I remember. My first foray into MMO's was the legendary
       Motor City Online. Still to this day, the single greatest car
       racing game I've ever played. While I was no legend, the
       atmosphere of the game was what completely captured my
       imagination. Sometime after that I became totally hooked on
       Guild Wars and would play that every spare minute I had. At some
       point in there I stumbled across the PotBS Beta and successfully
       applied to join the testing. I was involved in that for a short
       while until I lost my way and moved on to other things. All
       through this time I've played dozens of Playstation games,
       primarily sports sims: NBA Live, Madden NFL, NHL, A little MLB,
       Tiger Woods golf, Gran Turismo and on and on... I've also played
       MANY pc games as well. A large portion of my time was dedicated
       to Virtual Skipper where I played 2, 3, 4 and mostly 5. This was
       my first introduction to the use of voice communication software
       (Ventrillo at the time and later on Team Speak).
       Other PC games (off the top of my head) that I've played are
       some of the GTA series, Dungeon Siege, Dragon Age, a bit of
       Skyrim (not sure why I never got into it much I loved the small
       time I did play it). As with a lot of games my interest in some
       waxed and waned along with my time spent in them. I usually
       commit all of my energy to one game at a time until I've
       overdosed on it and something else captured my interest. At the
       time of the Pirates of the Caribbean movie release, I was
       naturally inspired to check out what had happened to that pirate
       game I vaguely recalled playing way back when. I knew that it
       had been pay to play upon it's release (which turned me off
       playing it then) but I discovered that it was now free to play,
       so I checked it out and was hooked immediately. It's one of the
       games that has had me coming and going for years (for various
       reasons). I spent a long time there basically only doing PvE
       until I needed a change and joined the MoD society there. The
       people I met there were fantastic and made the game fun for me
       again. And the inspired me to start getting into PvP. Something
       I wish I had done MUCH earlier!
       Just recently, things have been changing in and around MoD. And
       the result is that the MoD society has joined the Rejected
       Outcasts online gaming community which you and I are now a part
       of. We are collectively spreading our wings and supporting many
       different games all at the same time. As a result I have been
       making an effort to support the community by entering all the
       free games that we are currently involved in. I have made a
       character/profile in each of them to assist in bolstering our
       numbers in each. The first of these was World of Tanks. I fully
       expected to not like the game and really totally suck at it. But
       I followed our fearless leader willingly and surprise, surprise,
       I really enjoy playing it. It is my latest gaming obsession and
       I'm actually starting to suck a bit less at it...sometimes. ;) I
       have also made accounts in War Thunder, Neverwinter and SWtoR
       (where I had an old account on a different server, but I made a
       new to join MoD there). There are a few games that I will
       continue to return to when the desire arises. And as long as
       PotBS, VSK are playable online, I'll continue to return to them
       periodically and also Dragon Age is always a favourite to
       replay.
       That’s about all I can plonk on here for now, I'll catch you
       guys online!
       P.S. Apologies for the wall of text, I won't be offended if you
       didn't read it and will appreciate it if you did :)
