So I know this post is relatively old now, about a month or so. But I felt instead of posting something new to really tell people who I am I would just add to this. Hope it's not seen in poor taste or anything just felt like letting people know more about me.

So to start things off;
Hi, my name is Shane, aka Catalepsy. I am from Ohio and have been playing ET since mid 2005 when I was going to college and it was installed on all the lab computers on campus. I was 18, I lived on campus at The Ohio State University. I dropped out in Early 2006 due to disinterest in what I was studying and began wasting way too much time gaming on console and on PC. I joined and helped run *HoF* (House Of Frag) in late 2005 when I began to play at home if anyone happens to remember them or their server. It was a good time and I learned a lot at the time from B00MeR, the owner. I was also a member of .+k (Total Kontrol) for those that may remember them as well. We were pretty good on .55/.6 for a long time and had a pretty decent sized clan, as well as our own servers. We scrimmed all the time and I took that knowledge and helped *HoF* start and have a moderately successful scrim team along with a few other people, namely So!l and D00M. I stopped being competitive around 2008 when it came to ET, I didn't feel like it was necessary anymore and I just wanted to have fun because I was usually a pretty strict ruler when it came to scrim teams or clans I was a part of. At this time I created a team called wyM (Watch Your Mouth) which was pretty big until about mid 2009 when I quit for about a year and a half. Came back in 2011 and was enjoying my time playing on F|A servers and even applied, but soon withdrew my application due to a heinous work schedule and a higher calling for me. At that time I started working towards joining the United States Marine Corps, which I did in early 2012. I'm currently stationed in Hawaii, after going through my 2 schools for the past year and a little bit of my life. I'm big into running now, used to hate it before I joined, but I figure if you're going to be forced to do it you may as well start doing it on your own and gain an appreciation for it. And if anyone happens to be interested in the military, specifically the Marine Corps, I would be more than happy to answer any questions anyone has and point you in the right direction.

Music is a big part of my life, I've been playing guitar since I was 13 years old, I'm 26 now so a little while. Had a few small bands growing up through high school and some thereafter, recorded a couple EP's but nothing substantial, supported some awesome bands coming through Ohio, but never got big ourselves. However If anyone knows of Hawthorne Heights, we beat them in a talent competition at a local venue back in 2001 to try to win a contract with Victory Records but their sound was described to us as more accessible so we were given 2nd place. I have an Ibanez RG7321 and a Marshall A Cab with an AVT150H. Which, unfortunately I have not brought to Hawaii yet. I used to interview and review bands for various publications and websites/zines growing up from about the age of 15 to 22. Always been heavy into the punk/hardcore/metal community, so if you want to ever talk about or find out about new music, find me and I'll give you 100's to check out. You can always see what I'm listening to, or have been listening to here: http://www.last.fm/user/ihavegas. I'm into everything from indie to classical, from punk to pop, from bluegrass to death metal. Feel free to add me on xfire, my username is xcatalepsyx. I've usually got it on 24/7 if I'm not around I'll eventually get to it. 

If anyone happens to have questions or wants to know more, get at me on xfire or see me on the server. I'll be around more and more as I continue to try to actually join F|A again. It'd be nice to have a family to come talk to again, so don't be scared of me  and me being a **** sometimes, that's just me at times. Have a good one.

-Shane/Catalepsy
