GuildWiki Life
I've been a more or less regular contributor of GuildWiki since July 2005, creating original content, doing maintenance work, throwing in my 2 smartass cents into discussions, and generally messing up the place. :)

For my personal list of current activities, see my to do list.

Guild Wars Life
I'm a casual GW player. Real life obligations (job, family, ...) allow me only to play about 10 hrs per week. Which means I actually spend more time on GuildWiki than playing the game. :)

I'm a PvE player almost exclusively, and have barely ever played any PvP.

In addition to GuildWiki I'm a regular on the GuildWarsGuru forums, and check the forums of GWonline.net and The Guild Hall occasionally, as well as the German fansites Wartower and Guild-Wars.info.

For my personal list of requested/suggested improvements to the game, see my wish list.

Gaming Life
GuildWars is my first RPG. I used to prefer first person shooters and strategy games.

I've been playing games since I was 13 on my beloved Commodore 64. In university I got my first PC and he had soom nice LAN deathmatches in our dorm, playing Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Heretic, Descent and many more.

I got into online gaming in 1998 with Unreal and Unreal Tournament. Became a hardcore competitive UT player and adict, found a clan (which still exists!), wrote a number of FAQs and tutorials about UT, was an admin and forum moderator on BeyondUnreal, was a league admin on the Barrysworld and Jolt UT CTF leagues, and a regular on various forums.

After I had quit UT I played various other FPS games, but none of them got me as addicted as UT (which is a good thing, I might add): RtCW, Tribes, Battlefield 1942, Desert Combat, PlanetSide, among many others. Last year I played UT2004 ONS and quite enjoyed it.

Many of the members of my old UT clan are playing MMORPG's meanwhile. Unfortunatly we couldn't agree on one game to play together, so we are scattered over 3 games now: WoW, EQ and GuildWars. One of my clanmates convinced me to give GuildWars a try and I was instantly addicted. So here I am. :)

Nickname
Contrary to what my nickname implies, I'm not into playing Tetris. The name started as a joke based on this, back in the days when I was a hardcore UT player, but eventually I liked it better than my previous nickname and sticked to it. I've been using it for more than 5 years now, in all games that I've played and on all forums that I've frequented. I'm not aware of anyone else using that nick, so if you see someone with that name somewhere, chances are it's me. Say Hi!

Real Life
Male, 35 years old, married, 1 kid, 2.04 m (6'7") tall, process engineer working in power plant design.

I'm German, but I've lived and worked in Switzerland for 4 years, India for ½ year, Dubai/UAE for ½ year, USA/Mexico for ¼ year, and various other places around the world for shorter periods. Currently I'm living nearby Düsseldorf, Germany.
