Gaming & Commentary History:

I'm fairly new to the gaming scene as a whole only being involved in online communities since shortly after the release of COD4. My addiction to FPS games first started when introduced to Quake 3 a few years ago. I had only recently managed to get my first computer which was a celeron 766Mhz with some intel board. I managed to quite successfully pump out some Q3 fragging goodness on it and started to get reasonable at a insta-gib freeze rail mod that to this day I enjoy quite a lot if I can find a server :S

I was firstly introduced to COD2 by a mate of mine and began my initial nooby steps into the Call Of Duty series. After a few months of COD2 my pre-order of COD4 turned up and from there I have never looked back. Joining the 28th MB's and competing for their X team at XLAN was what brought me to the discovery of Shoutcasting. When I heard that they would be commentating live stage matches I immediately wanted to have a stage match. After hearing a few shoutcasts at the event I was pretty hooked on the idea. A few a months later I saw my opportunity to jump aboard when I found out Arseynimz had just recently become the first New Zealand shoutcaster and I asked him about how to get involved. He pointed me in the direction of the sign up page and invited me to debut co-casting the GameVault 1v1 Search for a Contract Killer tournament and from there I have done my best to cast what I can when I can.
