Title: Groetjes uit België
Post by: Geronimoo on May 14, 2012, 11:21:17 am: -37 years old
-Belgian nationality (I like chocolate, waffles and beer)
-wife and 2 children Seth (age 7, hates games, loves sports = my wife), Lewis (age 6, loves games, hates sports = me)
-IT Bachelor, work at AXA as a Software Engineer
-studied classical guitar and play electric guitar (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxg1NvoDk0I&feature=relmfu)
-first addiction: Magic the Gathering. Became a very good amateur player (3rd and 5th at nationals), but not smart enough to compete with the pro's. I still play in a casual weekly draft
-second addiction: Poker. Read 30 books. Became a winning player at small stakes (11% ROI for $10-$20 SnG's), but couldn't handle the gambling with real money.
-third addiction: Dominion. Wrote a simulator in my spare time... at work. Became a very good amateur player... ;)
-other interests: board games (Agricola, Galaxy Trucker), American tv shows (Dexter, Family Guy, American Dad, Breaking Bad), all sorts of non-R&B music (JS Bach, Dream Theater, Slayer, Frank Zappa, Eminem), books (Pratchett, Coetzee, Dutch writers), movies (Matrix, LOTR, Spirited Away), procrastinating like a pro

Careful, he could be a Walloon and you may have just gravely insulted him!

Doh, people who like to play games, like to play games? Hardly surprising to me. :)
