I'm Chris, I'm one half of LAN-Speed (www.LAN-Speed.co.uk) Spend most of my life doing web realted stuff using Perl/mySQL. When I get a chance to play games I like Age of empires and that sort of thing. Never been any good at 1st person shooters but I like a game at a LAN-Party (and get my ass whipped every time!)
