It is with great regret that I need to inform you of my retirement from the TNGC.

It seems I have finally become old and boring and no longer enjoy computer gaming the way I used to. Since buying a house I have found myself with less and less time on my hands and gaming just isn't a priority for me anymore. Plus the fact that Becky and I are trying for a child, time may be even scarcer!

Thank you all for a truly memorable 18 months. Some of you I may see again - I hope to amuse Fester with my English snowboarding (i.e. going down the slope on my knees) and Firejack - you know you can stop by on your way to/from Lancaster Uni anytime you want.

I will also be saying goodbye to my gaming rig - she is an item that has no place with me now, her new owner comes to pick her up on Friday - may she serve him as well as she did me.

So long.

No need to feel you have to have a clean break. Feel free to drop by anytime. You may want to pick up gaming again when the kid comes along. You'll be stuck in the house all day looking after your offspring.

See you around matey. Thanks 8)

Bah! Today sucked already, so I can just add this to the rest of the bad stuff :(

Stick around Amiga, even if you are just trolling the forums. Your presence here is still much appreciated, even if you are not playing any games.

Well you will be missed mate. But don't worry, if you fancy coming back I got an old AMD 800 with 128megs of 133 ram you can have :D With a bit of modding you might get it to run battleship oir solitaire :lol:

I told my wife last night that I had retired from the TNGC and she gave me a right ear bashing. She said she was sorry that she had made me work so much on the new house and said she would make sure that I have a couple of nights free for my hobby. Besides, she said I'd drive her potty if I spent every night with her!

I'll keep quiet about her saying we could still try for a baby and game at the same time! So, if I ever go afk for no reason, it's best not to ask too many questions! Must remember to mute TS as well :oops:

So, the moral of this story is always discuss things with your other half first as they often make more sense than you!

An aside to this is that I shall be dropping BF2 from my gameplay list and I shall be concentrating on Planetside. (Anyone want to buy my copy of BF2?)

My gaming rig is still being sold but I'm building as new one around an FX57, dual 7800's and phase change cooling ;-)
