I think we'd make a nice couple.
Very nice and entertaining reads thus far! Good to get to know all of you guys a little better. Makes competing even more personal and fun http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...on_e_smile.gif
My name's Patrick and I'm from the city of Cologne in good old Germany, the one with the crazy old and crazy huge cathedral. I'm of French origin though, so instead of kraut jokes you'd better use the baguette ones. I was born in 1983 and spend a lot of time playing (and waiting for the games to finish loading) on the the C64 and the Atari ST as a kid. I even still have a vague memory of Pitfall Harry on my dad's Atari 2600. After years of PC gaming in my teens (never been much of a console guy somehow...) I kinda gave up on games after music became the real passion in my life. Did some myself in a rock band for some years, but always wrote about it in fanzines and even professional mags. Kinda funny and/or logical that of all things it was the iPod touch that reignited my interest in gaming! Guess it has something to do with not needing to worry about tech specs, graphic cards upgrading and all that boring ****. Well, I'm wandering off course here...despite my rather advanced age I'm still studying (media science), but writing my last thesis at the moment, so that'll finally be over in a few weeks. What else? I'm most probably the only person around these forums that has never really played Trials. iOs port, anyone? http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...con_e_wink.gif
By the way, I find it kind of interesting that there seem to be only few, if any female players. Seems rather strange considering the cutesy graphic style.. .Quote:

Hi. Great idea, Nytmar.
I'm 34 y. I live in Norway, and am a surgeon. Have two girls, aged 2 and 6 . Until recently married, but now only engaged to 1000Heroz.
I mostly like rap, but getting softer with age.... So now I enjoy a wider variaty of music, spanning from Metallica/Iron Maiden to top charts...
I am a newbie to 1000H, only played since about day 110. Have 4-5 top 10 placements, best position until now is fourth.
My nick "colorado77" has been my alias in the gaming world since the late 80'ies. Many wonder why i use an american state as my nick... Well pay attention;
My real name is Espen. Espen is pronounced "Aspen"... Like Aspen, Colorado....
You see?
77 is of course my birth year.
Hope to keep competing with all of you for the next 3 years... http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...con_e_wink.gif
Espen
Heya Espen. :wavey:
Welcome to 1000 Heroz and the forum. http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...on_e_smile.gif
Norway huh... fun country albeit a bit bloody cold. I spent some time in Lilliehammer a while back... what an amazing place and people.
Welcome to the forum colorado!!! I look forward to competing with you http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...on_e_smile.gif
Hey! It was my idea to reboot this thread here http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image.../icon_razz.gif
Welcome Colorado77! I'm also kind of new school, started off at Day 81 (and still suffer in the global all time rankings - at least I am better than #1000 now).
It's a very long race guys...and there'll be a lot of different leaders I'm sure. While being one of them was wonderful....the fun I've had playing and the friendships I've gained hold far more value to me than the #1 slot. Welcome aboard...please respect your fellow competitor, and good luck!!
'Sup Colorado! Always nice to see (not even so) new faces around here! http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...on_e_smile.gif
Thanks for a warm welcome everybody.
I'm also now inside the top 1000, but way behind the top players. But i love the "last 10 days" list.
What do you guys think of the replay-no-1-option? I regret to say that i think this takes something away from the game.
Of course, i love seeing what the best runner has done, but it kinda takes away the mental planning somewhat.
Any views on the matter?
