Thanks to you as well And I'm having a great evening digesting all the easter food consumed over the (long) weekend. In Sweden easter means holiday, food and candy.

Well, what can I tell you about myself? I'm a 32 year old bearded gamer with bushy hair. I grew up playing Pac Man, Digger and Donkey Kong on a 286 and then I kept on playing games following the PC gaming development over the years. I first started with online gaming and got familiar with online communities in 1994 when I got my first Internet connection and discovered the wonderful world of MUD's, if you ever heard of that concept? If you haven't, it's text based multiuser roleplaying games (Multi-User Dungeons).

I never been much of a console gamer, I belong with a mouse and a keyboard and I have never gotten along with console controllers but tend to hammer them randomly without a clue whats going on. I did however play my fair share of Mario and such. My fascination for strategy games does however not go along well with consoles either.

I studied programming for a few years but ended up in the customer support business. First for a major ISP/TV-company in Sweden before I was hired by a mighty computer game company responsible for an MMORPG you probably heard of. I spent a few years abroad in their service and learnt a thing or two about the business before I got this marvelous opportunity to live and work with what I love in my hometown of Stockholm.

Now I will get back to watching a documentary about space shuttles on TV and eat some more candy. Just ask questions if you have any. Otherwise I'm sure you will get to know me better as time goes by as I will be present around here a lot.

Have an excellent evening folks!

Does this mean you will also be taking care of the the rabid platypus (or was it a raccoon) they keep locked in that desk drawer in the server room?

Oh, is that what that sound was?

Are they secret or..?

Welcome Bjørn! You chose wisely when you chose PI! They make the best games, are the best people and have a Lord Protector of the Realm at their head. Can't get much better than that...!

 

[Kalelovil]

Welcome and good luck Bjørn.
