I'm rob, pretty new to hawken (post steam) but got already got quiet some hours into the game.
Due to all this doomsday threads I thought why not show some support and say hi.
So here I am, 35 year old casual gamer. Got raised during the ages of Doom, Quake and wolfenstein:ET Kind of missed out on the whole online / competitive gaming culture that came after those Id-Software titles mainly because I was busy being a father and finishing my degree (applied computer science, software engineering n stuff)..
Now I've got way more time for my own than healthy and enjoy putting some of that into hawken. I ordered the Occulus Rift DK1 some months ago online and stumbled upon this "Hawken" - thing. I love mechs and robots in general - so it got my attention immediately. I went so far to setup a windows machine for gaming again just for hawken - which is quiet remarkable for a unix-guy like me.
I'm located in the heart of Europe in a ridiculously small country somewhere between switzerland and austria.
Mostly I get stomped on US east servers, should play on european servers but my brain can't handle pings below 100ms as it seems.
My preferred mech is the predator - playing "cloaked" makes me kind of weak so I'm forcing myself to play a eoc-raider without air compressor more often to get better (and I suck bad mmr 1700 and falling but I keep on working on it).
If you see my account running around with sustained damage - mechs thats probably my 10 year old son with way better reflexes than me. I keep the burst - weapon mechs for me while he gets the easier ones

Cheers and see you on the battlefield
