UR1D1UM

Proud Daddy, film obsessive and lifelong gamer, Uridium's name is inspired from the days and weeks lost to playing the rock-hard C64 shoot-em-up (Andrew Braybrook - we salute you!). Having bought an Xbox (and soon an Xbox 360!) on launch day, Uridium was one of the founding members of the DVDF Clan and is now one of the management team (and self-styled Morale Officer, "You guys were great, we'll win the next game!")

An enthusiastic and erratic Halo 2 player, Uridium will never give in and is very intolerant of any bad sportsmanship or cheating in the game. A big fan of Flag and Assault games (especially on Lockout, Zanzibar and Headlong), he is as likely to come up with an inspired, diverting tactic and wipe out half the opposition or grab a sneaky flag as he is to try an impossible leap and commit suicide or run out of ammo one bullet short of killing someone. Uridium can also be found late into the evening playing Project Gotham 2 or Links and spouting comedy French/Japanese phrases to his team-mates or serenading them in the 'club style'.
