My name is Vladeta Stojanovic. I'm 18 years old and I live in Scotland, and I'm very passionate about computer games and computer game development. The first computer game I ever played was called "Banana Man", which I played when I was like 4. Soon after I really got into playing Apogee games, such as Commander Keen, Bio Menace and Monster Bash, as well as Heretic (violence at such a young age, lol), and I also played a lot of flight sims (Dog Fight, F117, forgot names of others).

When I was 8, I played Doom for the first time and I was immediately overwhelmed by the gaming experience it offered, which is why to this day FPS games are my favorite genre. I soon got into playing Duke Nukem 3D, Quake 2 and Half Life, after which between the ages of 11 - 13 I moved onto playing more action packed FPS games like Counter Strike, Quake 3 and Soldier of Fortune, as well as other Half life expansions/mods.

After that, the next wave of next-gen games started appearing, like Far Cry, Doom 3 and Half Life 2, which pretty much got me fully hooked on FPS games. I also enjoy playing 3rd person action games like Hitman (1 & Blood Money < ultimate murder simulator), Grand Theft Auto series(1,2,3, VIce City & San Andreas), and the Max Payne series of games.

Well, that's my gamer history. Apart from computer games, I'm into partying (LAN Partying included), socializing with friends, going to the gym and watching a good film. I also read for leisure occasionally (because reading heavy technical books on game programming and development doesn't count ;) ).

I've recently got into my art again, which mostly includes concept art for games and other cool illustrations, so I'll probably put some of my artwork up soon. I also enjoy listening to music, mostly rocking out to the industrial tunes of Nine Inch Nails and other hard rock/industrial/alternative bands, which are too many to name here.

I also recnetly got a PSP Slim & Light, so I'm enjoying some more GTA carnage on the road, lol.

This year in September, I will be starting my 4 year BSc Computer Games Technology course at the University of Abertay.
