| − | I'm T2A`. It stands for whatever you want it to. I admin [http://insite.beyondunreal.com Insite], enjoy angry, heavy music, and drive a slow Saturn SC1. I somehow came away from Virginia Tech with a BS in Computer Science, and I'm currently looking for yet another job. My previous few included driving cars around, programming for a company you haven't heard of, and being a package whore at UPS.

| − | As far as Unreal goes, I'm a long-time (if three years is a long time) player at FragBU, I was a member of {pdX} and °J2° for awhile, I played some 1v1 ladders and tourneys, and then I decided UT2004 was bad and kept solely to FragBU for the remainder of the game's life. Although, at the very end I stopped showing up to FragBU as well. I've released a few frag videos based on FragBU performances; you can find them [http://hyru.ath.cx:60080/fbuwiki/index.php/User:T2A%60#pr0bu here]. I wasn't playing on computers back when the original UT came out, so I missed experiencing that one at its peak, unfortunately.

| |
| − | I just built a new computer after 4.5 years of using a 2.8 GHz P4 and 9800 Pro. My new system boasts an E6850, 8800GT, and 2 gigs of memory. If NVIDIA come through and release the 9800GT in February 2008, EVGA's step-up program should enable me to grab one of those for free. I've heard Intel's new CPUs are quite good for overclocking, so I may do that in the future, though there seems little reason to do so at the moment.

| − | Ever since the announcement of UT2007, I've been looking forward to a new UT game that wasn't completely broken like UT2004 was in terms of map scaling and weapon balance. UT2004's [[:Category:Hitscan_weapons|pew-pew]] factor was ridiculous, after all, and the [[Shield_Gun|shield gun]] '''really''' screwed up the gameplay. After a terrible beta demo, a buggy retail release with a stupid UI, nothing but complaints on the interbutts, and claims that player counts are terrible, I'm worried about UT3. What should have been a sure-fucking-thing is already lacking populated and low-pinging servers.

| − | Meanwhile, COD4, which also came out just recently, has about a billion players. But that doesn't really surprise me since the campaign is really fucking good and apparently the multiplayer is too. In addition to UT3 and COD4, I'm playing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Commander:_Forged_Alliance Forged Alliance], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tf2 TF2], and HL2. Forged Alliance is proving to be hard as fuck. My RTS-playing ability is still lacking, apparently. There are many other games that I'm looking to get since I skipped so many due to a system that couldn't run them, so I may be broke soon.

| − | I'm hoping UT3 pulls out of this rut it's in, because while I still haven't taken it online, it's really fun on good maps and in non-[[VCTF]] game modes. The general consensus on the interbutts seems to be that most people think it has failed terribly -- more than any other AAA title ever. Let's hope that isn't true. However, I'm skeptical. During the game's development I thought Epic couldn't fail with UT3. I thought it'd be fucking awesome and would capture the attention of everyone. Wishful thinking, I suppose; so far things have seemed basically the opposite of that.

| − | I suppose as long as FragBU and a few good 1v1 servers are around I'll get enough play out of it to be happy.
