I've just applied to join the Fighting Irish and thought I'd pop in and say 'Hello'.
OK... so, a little bit about myself.
I'm a 34 year old Brit currently residing in Vancouver, Canada. I design video games for a living and have done for the past nine years. My main gaming passion is flight sims, but I've always been too much of a social inept to try my hand at online flying.
Well, that's not entirely true - I've dipped my toes in the flying waters of Hyperlobby a couple of times, but rapidly tired of getting slapped out of the sky every minute or so. As a consequence, I figured I needed a hard drinking, hard fighting outfit in my corner to ease me through the initial learning curve with equal measures of kindness, support, laughter and beer.
Where better to look for such qualities than with the Fighting Irish?
Looking at the Fighting Irish thread over at the Ubi forums was enough to convince me.
I make no claims about my flying abilities. On a good day, I might just pass as 'OK', but I'm a friendly chappy with a willingness to learn and a strong team spirit. I'm also fully equipped with beautifully modded Cougar NXT, Track IR3 Pro +VE, Simped rudders and a headset that I've never ever used before and feel utterly socially uncomfortable about.
(Total online noob, remember...)All-in-all, I'm really looking forward to proving my incompetence to you in the coming co-op meetings.
Cheers
Pizzi
