Hello der,

I am Mentazm (on Live, Steam and PSN), aka Iain Watson, I'm 31 and I live in Edinburgh in Scotland.

I'm a cinema projectionist, and a bit of a movie geek, I tend to see pretty much everything that comes out because of my job, even all the shit.

When not working I like gaming. A lot. I blame my gaming addiction on my dad who bought me my first computer (Commodore 16) when I was 6 years old. From there I moved on to a Spectrum 128+2, a gameboy, an Atari ST, a SNES, an Amiga, then finally on to PCs. Currently got a great PC that I barely ever play on, mostly game on my 360, but I do own a PS3 too. I guess most would call me a Hardcore gamer, but I don't count myself in that group, as I know some who are, and they call me a total lightweight.

I used to be hardcore into MMORPGs and have played em since about 98 when I started on Ultima Online. From there I moved on to Dark Age of Camelot, Star Wars Galaxies, World of Warcraft, Age of Conan and Warhammer Online. I try to give most MMOs a shot, it's only those that stuck for any length of time. WoW in particular was a serious addiction, I played on the illegal servers for a year before the game was even out, then at launch was a founding members of the number one PvP guild/number two raiding guild in Europe. Sold my account for a decent wedge about a year after the games release when the xbox 360 came out, and haven't really touched MMOs since other than trying the month free trials. Warhammer Online for instance is a great game that I'd love to go back to, but I don't have time to play all the games I want AND have an MMO addiction any more.

When not gaming I like to write music (mostly Drum n Bass), go clubbing and DJ (both not so often these days), go to gigs (I like every type of music from mellow Folk to Hardcore Gabba), write words (reviews on my blog http://lynched.blogspot.com and also working on a few scripts), and watching lots of US TV (The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Lost, Nip/Tuck, True Blood, etc).

Really looking forward to working with Dave on sonicsring.com and speaking to you all through comments and emails.
