Re: Introduce Yourself!

Hello and congratulations on your new forums, I hope they go well.
Well, if someone don't know who I am...
My name is Maxim Bardin aka MaximB ;)
I'm 27 years old, live in Israel and the editor of the http://LinuxGamingNews.org website.
I work as a Linux/Windows System Administrator for a small startup company and basically do nothing all day at work, which gives me the opportunity to post news on LGN.

P.S
I already own Eschalon Book 2 which is a great game, so I'm not here for this contest ;)

Hi! I'm Iwan and I found this forum via LGN's announcement. I'm one of the admins of the FreeGameDev forums.

Re: Introduce Yourself!

Hello all,

My name is Hamish Paul Wilson and I am 16 and live on a Canadian Ranch just a few kilometres from the summer village of Seba Beach, which is about an hours drive from Edmonton. I have been using Linux to a certain extent all my life, being introduced to it by my father who was actually part of the original Usenet group where Linus Torvalds originally announced Linux to the world. I have been using it as my main operating system since 2007. I have been a serious gamer since I first played Doom when I was seven, and it was also Doom which inspired me to start programming and working on games of my own.

As of the moment these are my Computer Specifications:
Operating System: Fedora 13 Linux
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 3650
Memory: 4 Gigabytes
Processor: AMD Sempron CPU 2.7 Ghz
Hard drives: 71.6 GB and 35 GB

Alongside game programming and general fiddling, I also spend my time working on several other projects. I am an administrator of three Wikis and am in a large part responsible for much of the Linux gaming coverage that can be found on Wikipedia. When I have time I will make a general portfolio of my work on my Icculus.org page. I hold both Canadian Citizenship as well as New Zealand Citizenship by descent. Well, I think that is more than most people would care to know about me, so for now I will leave it at that.

Re: Introduce Yourself!

Most know me as Tweakedenigma, at least anyone from the Ubuntu Forum.

My real name is Kory 26 and I am from Atlantic Canada. Have been using Linux for years and I am happy to see a lot more games coming out.

Re: Introduce Yourself!

Hello i am pyux. Also known as pooks. I have used linux scince 2004. I only really used mandrake, mandriva, and ubuntu. I dont like using command line ^^

I only really play online games with other peole cause i get bored playing on my own ^^

Hey! Didn't notice this thread until now. I began using Linux in 2003, but stopped when I went to college in 2005. When I came back to it in 2009, my mind was blown by how much better it was! Anyway, I'm an economics/financial mathematics graduate turned aspiring developer studying towards a MS in CS in Massachusetts. I've written some simple games for practice and involved myself in some open source projects, although for now nothing super significant.

Dang! You people make me feel old!

I'm Troy, an independent game developer and owner/operator of My Game Company in San Diego, CA. I'm also a proponent of Linux gaming. I've written some articles on gamedev.net about commercial Linux game development, I've helped a number of other indies with their initial Linux ports, and I'm always advocating Linux game development in various developer forums where I participate.

Hello!Welcome join us!

Oops. I just realised I haven't posted here yet!

I'm Cheese. I've been using Linux as my working environment since 2003 and exclusively since 2005. I often write stuff about Linux gaming on my "Cheese talks to" site, and I've also just started as a guest writer here on Gaming On Linux.

In my spare time (depending upon how you look at it), I'm also a photographer, programmer and graphic designer. I use open source tools for all my work. Huzzah!

I'm Xpander. Im 27 years old. Have been using Linux since 2006. before that just tryed couple of times but didn't stay long. I do some gaming videos with linux and up them to youtube from my spare time. I got into linux thanks to failure of windows. Got home from army and windows didn't want to boot up anymore.Got a ubuntu 6.10 cd from a friend and from that point on i was sticking to linux fulltime. Distro is changed to Mint in the mean time when ubuntu introduced the unity interface.
I also try to help people in the forums(mint and winehq) or if they have questions about some wine tweaking or stuff like that.

thats about it for now.

Hello world.
I'm... Oh screw it. Just look on the left. ^^
30-some old (too old), using GNU/Linux since 2004, hobbyist translator, part-time indie helper (does such a thing even exist?), tech support for specific solutions as far as the dayjob is concerned, long-time GOL lurker, and that isn't too bad for a first post methinks. Feel free to ask if it isn't enough for you.

Hello Hyeron. I believe we have bumped into each other on occasion on Desura. Welcome then.

Something regarding the Dude, indeed. And I believe we both took advantage of that particular sale. :D

Yeah, and I regret nothing. ;)

Hello, on the Internet I go by one two names Ultimoore or Omegus. I have been using Linux since 2010 when I got home from Afghanistan. I have become very fond of Linux and have been getting people in my area to switch. I am not a programmer of any sorts but I want to be. I just downloaded a book on C++ and I am practising on Ubuntu. My ultimate goal on Linux is to make a Linux only RPG based on FFXI or FFXII engine. The military has made me very ambitious to do something other than shoot a assault rifle.

Wow, I didn't see this topic early. It’s high time to writing something about me.

So, I'm CzarnyNalesnik (word for word - black pancake :D ) and live in Germany. English is my fourth language.

I use Linux since six years, my first distribution was Fedora, then tried Debian and finally I chose Ubuntu. Cool, that's my fifth year without Windows ;)

More privately.. I'm still learning, except linux I like football, drawing (I'm going to "art school" :D ) and good "oldschool" video games for NES, SNES, Atari.

You can meet me at DUG and ubuntuforums.org. I have my website about linux games too, but it's not competition for you, cause it's a site in polish language.

;)

Please allow me to introduce myself. I’m a man who sells games for Linux and other platforms. You don’t have to guess my name, it’s Kristian. :) I’m not an experienced linux user but I like the concept of the platform.
Haven't tried a game on Linux yet but would be interesting to do, but I guess it wouldn’t be that different from Windows. But I might be wrong…
Will the future for gaming be Linux?

Hi, I'm muntdefems, a 33-year old male from Barcelona. Exclusively using Linux since 2003, though I've just recently rediscovered my passion for gaming thanks to the Humble Bundles.

Big DRM-free games supporter, I've got a Steam account nonetheless. :P

Hi. I'm Rich and I'm an oxygen addict.

Been using Linux off and on for a few years now, typically on my second PC, and am currently developing a game that I'm hoping to release on Ubuntu.
