Hey all!
My name is Alex Noir, but some of you may know me as
august_nox. I hail from the lovely little pushover of a country known as Belgium, and I currently live in Prague, Czech Republic.
"But August, I've played with you before in r/ProjectAwesome and you sound very Australian!"
Firstly, apparently I sound more British/EuroEnglish than Australian - British people ask me where in the UK I'm from almost every day here.
Secondly, I probably sound like that because I have lived most of my adolescent years in Sydney, Australia. In fact, I still lived there until about 2 months ago, when I fled the country and began a Bachelors of Science in Computing in Prague.
Yeah...I'm still not quite sure how I ended up here.
"But August, I heard you don't even have a PC! How are you supposed to play?"
Well...while it is true that for the moment I only possess a MacBook and a 256kb/s internet connection I used to play quite a lot on a PC I built after I was stranded at home having been subjected to a lot of heavy illnesses. I played DayZ religiously for about 6 months, and then I got bored and delved into vanilla arma. I discovered CHKilroy and ACE/ACRE, and since I was a heavy user of reddit I signed up to r/ProjectAwesome as a non-combatant journalist...and got told to let my dreams die and pick up the bloody rifle already. I left my PC behind when I packed my bags and moved out.
Hope looms on the horizon, though. In July I am taking three weeks during my school break to go visit Sydney again (ROADTRIPS
) and when I return I will be bringing with me my PC components...very carefully. I will then have essentially two and a half months of free time in a better apartment with a 100mb/s internet connection...during the time ArmA 3 AND DayZ are slated to launch. Things will get bloody.
It is during this time that I hope to play with FA. My friend Cam has already played a bit with you I believe, just think of me as his incompetent but adorable sidekick or something.

All that aside, I'm interested in TV shows like Game of Thrones and I have a massive hardon for Community. I like to read and learn Python and C++ in my spare time and I have a developing addiction to watching CS:GO streams. I'm barely 18 years old and I speak French and a bit of Czech and Italian. I have a youtube channel which I used to update quite regularly with ArmA videos until I left the motherland. If you're interested,
linked here is my channel. Hopefully when I get my PC in a few months I will start making those ArmA videos again, but until then if you're satisfied by
shitty counterstrike montages there's plenty more where that came from.
Oh, I also love designing Arma missions, and wish to learn how to actually make them when I get my computer back.
I hope I made a decent first impression and I look forward to getting to know you all over the next few months.
