Introducing Praetor
FULL NAME: Nigel Alastair Clark
I like to think of myself as a genuinely nice guy, I've got a good sense of humour and enjoy leading a fun life. Other than gaming, I'm a sponge when it comes to absorbing history and ancient mythology. I love reading, movies and the occassional beer. Went to uni back in my younger days but it didn't suit my 'carefree' way of life. Nowadays I'm busy writing, looking after kids, studying journalism and of course gaming.
I may be wrong here, but I think I might have been born clutching a mouse & keyboard. Apart from that my parents have always had computers so I started playing DOS based PC games and have been going ever since. To me video games is as normal an entertainment medium as reading a book or watching TV!
