I have often thought it would be cool to have an HTC Staff day, where all of us got online to play and just play.  No questions, no complaints.  Just be like any other player in the game.

Do it, mate.

If you're happy about what you're doing and not just passionate about it, you'll enjoy it more and find it more rewarding.

This will be good for you and your staff and us players too.

Win, win.

You could always try your skills at an accent too. Practice being English or something and just speak like that on vox.

Or just use a crappy microphone... no one will recognise you.

1) Battlefeild 2, just fantastic, well ballenced, lots of options
2) Starcraft, dont even have to explain this one, its a game that shaped all rps games drasticly, cant wait for #2
3) MarioKart64, for N64, i still play this in the dorms with my friends
4) Goldeneye for the N64, serriously, who did not think this was amazing for the time being
5) Battlefeild 1942 with all expansions, I speant 3 years just rocking it and getting good at it, i wold now say i am a master of this game
6) Left For Dead, if you havent tried this yet, do it, amazing gameplay, first zombie game that plays out well (like a ____ of the dead movie) if you havent played it, go and play it
7) Red Alert 2, proly should be higher on the list, but im to lazy to go chang it, great game, sad that 3 didnt live up to it
8) Fancy Pants Adventure 1 & 2, wins in the flash game catagory, fantastic
9) AH2, i put it up cause I spend so much time playing and have learned allot from it
10) NavyFeild, great ww2 naval surface battle game, play it when i get over ah2, give it a try, good for jumping on for 20 mins
It is I, Ens. Pulver! And I have just thrown your palm tree overboard!

Shame Curlew, Starcraft should be higher on that list!
Also Red Alert 2, good yes.  However RA1 is still best.    :D

Warcraft: Orcs & Humans is a classic!  Can't believe I forgot that one...I am sure there are others that I am forgetting.

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

It was absolutely amazing.
