Tasks @ Cosmo3D:

Let's say, I have basically done everything except writing the articles where it's stated someone else is the author ;) Server chief, HTML, ASP, PHP, Perl guru. Writer. Coder. The man that started it all. And more.

First Game Played:

The first real game must be Prince of Persia. It ruled my 386 "laptop"... I also remember some games named Aldo and Snarf. The day i bought the demo of Wolfenstein 3D also was a milestone.

Favorite Genres:

I enjoy all genres, but I have a predilection for first-person-shooters, various online games, and strategy titles.

Current Addictions:

Actually, I must admit I hardly never play games anymore... (That's the main reason for Cosmo3D not having any new articles over the past six months or so.) The last games I've tested, and enjoyed, must be Anarchy Online and Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Also have a few old classics installed, like Transport Tycoon and Elasto Mania. Seriously. ;-)

Looking Forward To:

The new Doom and Duke Nukems. On the real-life front; more snowboarding, the ATi Raddeon 8500 expected soon, more spare time (not likely to happen), as well as getting that school yearbook finished.

Fondest Gaming Memories:

The early Prince of Persia-days are still in my mind, as well as my first multiplayer experience with Quake. And not to mention Half-Life. Still surprises me that I didn't pee in my pants when playing it in the dark...

Spare Time:

Most on my time in front of the computer I'm working, and when I'm not I give preference to doing some other stuff than playing games. Being with my friends, partying, taking a trip in the woods with the scouts, snowboarding are some of my favourite activities.

Cool:

Snow, sun, the nature, nice people, nice food, rapping, relax, sleep, vacations, enjoy life, FreeBSD, PHP, seing that the "Cool"-list is longer than the "Not Cool", that must be positive.

Not Cool:

Too much school-related stuff, egoists, stress, a Norwegian political party named Frp.

Pentium III 1GHz, 512MB SDRAM, 2x 45 ATA-100 disks in RAID, three 18GB UW2 SCSI-disks, Creative TNT2U-card, Soundblaster Live!
