Gamer? I for one was a hardcore, competitive gamer (Battlefield 4) before I got into cycling.

Yip, been a gamer since the mid 80's, on consoles and PC's. Started cycling in 2008 but been finding a balance, as difficult as it is sometimes.

Looks nice!! Do you still play BF4?

 

Thanks, I took a lot of pride into to build and wanted a clean cable management too.

 

Sadly not, my laptop won't be able to run it.

 

Sold my rig to finance my cycling back in the days.

That's too bad, I had the same motherboard and PSU in my gaming pc. The liquid-cooled CPU looks super clean. Unfortunately, I had to sell my pc and buy a laptop for mobility reasons, luckily I can still play BF4.

All I play now is PUBG.

 

Some more of my favourite instagram pics

Shot with an old crappy samsung s5. 

 

This fone lasted me 4 years and still going...

Upgraded to the s7 2 years back. Lost the fone. Went back to s5.

Oh look its upgrade time again. Think I'll stick with Samsung.

The new camera looks dope!

I started my competitive days in BF2 then BFBC2, BF3 and ended on BF4. Played DGL in all of them. 

Ended up selling my rig though because gaming was taking too much time.

Nice build. Are you perhaps a Carbonite member?

 

Reason for asking, I almost build my entire PC from buying parts over there. I was also a very active user on the platform (1,300+ posts). Then I found cycling in my life and switched over to BikeHub.

I was a first person shooter gamer, but Battlefield 4 was the game I played the most. What clan did you play for in BF4? Back in the days, I played for Delirium (Team Anguish). We weren't that bad, but could not compete against the big guns: ALG, FiB, PuLse. I did enjoy my gaming phase in life, especially the competitive scene. But to be honest, if I look back it was just a waste of time as a hobby. Cycling is much better. Way more expensive, yes, but from riding your bike you gain fitness and it is good for your health.

 

My gaming rig specs for the nerds:

 

 

Intel i7-4790

Corsair H110 

MSI H97M-G43 

EVGA GTX 980 SC 

16GB G.Skill Sniper 1866 

Seasonic 520W Bronze Fully Modular 

Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 

Corsair Obsidian Windowed 350D

Acer 24" 144Hz

Dell Office Keyboard

Roccat Kone Pure 

ASUS Cerberus 

SteelSeries 9HD

Nice KD ratio there. I played with BFC in the earlier times and SSG in the later games, we always played 1st div but most had already lost interest by the time BF4 came along. We did play in a some of the early competition but that was about it. 

 

I wasted too many of my younger years gaming when I could have been doing sport instead, at least Im done with the gaming though!

Yeah I'm on Carbonite but not very active at all. Some of the other local gaming forums too. The build was from new from scratch though. Opted for a quiet micro atx build. Nothing fancy. A mid tier setup for some decent frames in 1080p. The best of which is at about ~120 fps in Doom on ultra and PUBG I'm mainly in the 70s on mixed high settings. That game is badly optimized, buggy, lag riddled mess but I love it. RX480 8gb gpu, 16gb 2133mhz dual channel. Intel i5 6600. 2x 250gb Samsung ssd and a 3tb WD HD. Case, AIO, PSU, fans and headset all Corsair. Dragon cherry red and MSI mouse. 

 

Impressive KD. I think I peaked at 1.1 in BF3. That was the best one imo. But when squad mates slowly lost interest it just plunged. I tried playing with others but the chemistry just wasn't there. Been playing BF since BC2, then 3, then 4. Skipped Hardline and then played BF1 a bit till PUBG came and ruined my life. Was never good enough to play competitively. But I'll probably keep playing shooters till the bitter end.
