Glenn "ROCK" Cano is a 38 year old entrepreneur from Gibraltar. He is married and has two children, including TAG member DragonForce. His hobbies include piano, chess, weight training, strategy games, graphics, and video editing. His favorite music is Dream Theater, Rush, Yes, Marillion, Rick Wakeman, Stratovarius, Symphony X, Nightwish and Infected Mushroom. He is a dedicated vegetarian.
Rock did some 6502/6510 back in the commodore days, then moved to C+4, Amiga 500, then finally to the PC. The game that first got him hooked on strategy was Civilization. He then spent plenty of time playing Command and Conquer: Red Alert. When Total Annihilation was released, he dedicated himself to perfecting his gameplay, but still played many other games, including: Dune, Empire Earth, Settlers, Age of Empires, Earth 2150, Command and Conquer: Generals, Warcraft 2, Starcraft, and Rise of Nations, just to name a few. :P
Rock has now dedicated himself to Forged Alliance and the mastery of the
Cybran race. He continues to lead the clan he founded to the forefront of
the competitive scene, leading TAG to victory in the first season of the
SupCom-Live Clan League and claiming the title of Most Valuable Player.
Zamiel "DragonForce" Cano is the youngest active member
of TAG, weighing in at 16 years. The son of ROCK, he has big shoes to fill,
but is already well on his way to surpassing his father. Outside of the
world of strategy, he loves playing football and does weight training. He
also loves learning to play drums. His best two factions are Cybran and
UEF.
Jorne "Natas" van der Veen is a 25 year old from Nijmegen,
Holland. At the mature age of 7, Natas started his gaming career with the
child friendly game Mortal Kombat, as well as Sensible Soccer and other
Amiga games. Then, his family finally got a PC that could run games, and
from there, he played many strategy games. He started with Command and Conquer,
then moved on to Warcraft 2. In 1997, he discovered Total Annihilation,
and played the game for 10 years, becoming one of the all time greats in
the game. When SupCom was released, he hopped right into the competitive
arena, rising into the top 20. With the release of Forged Alliance, he's
continued his excellence, currently residing in the top 10 with the exclusive
usage of Cybran. When he's not playing games, he's probably drinking, smoking,
or "hanging out" with his girlfriend.
Tero "duris_" Tanninen is a 23 year old from Finland. Duris_ started playing RTS with the orginal Command and Conquer and its follow-up game, Red Alert, in which he often beat the ass of his brother, Ian, over LAN. Following that, he played a lot of First Person Shooters, especially Counter Strike, for about five years.
Fate, however, smiled on duris_ when his friend showed him a trailer of Supreme Commander. They both managed to make it into the beta test, and since then, all he's really played has been SupCom. In Forged Alliance, he most often plays UEF, although there are maps on which he prefers Cybran.
When he's not playing SupCom, he loves to snowboard, a task made more difficult
by the common lack of snow. He enjoys playing poker, both live and online,
but as he's still very inexeperienced, he hasn't played it too much lately.
On weekends, he usually gets way too drunk and eats kebab. Lots of
kebab.
Ihor "mephistophile_ua" is the lone Ukranian member of the clan at the ripe old age of 20. Also an avid Cybran fan, Mephi currently resides near the top of the 1v1 FA ladder. He's been playing strategy games for a few years now, starting with Total Annihilation. He's a student, and enjoys football.
Miikka "Metn" Niiranen is a 23 year old who also hails
from Finland. He started playing Total Annihilation over 10 years ago shortly
following its release, and joined TAG in 2001. He's shared a lot of great
moments with his clanmates. When not slaughtering innocent bystanders in
Forged Alliance as Cybran, he occupies himself by playing various sports
three or four times a week.
Greg "Lunar_Wind" Scott is a 19 year old Computer Science student currently attending the University of North Carolina - Greensboro. He hopes to go into software and/or game design. When he's not gaming, Greg also works on the Intelligent Design for the Source Engine.
Like HappyTimes, Lunar's gaming career started at a very young age with
Mario Bros. From there, he extended out to PC gaming, starting off with
Mechwarrior 2. He broadened his horizons and started playing a bit of Counter
Strike, and from there made the switch to playing Natural Selection as part
of the competitive community. Eventually, he wandered over to Supreme Commander
and found himself as a member of TAG.
Robert "Necrosjef" Skinner is a 21 year old Mechanic Engineer from Glasgow, Scotland. His hobbies include boxing, weight training, whoring and playing video games. His favourite music is DJ Tiesto.
Necrosjefs first computer was a ZX Spectrum playing the likes of Manic Miner, he then moved onto early consoles such as the Sega Megadrive. In 95' he started on PC games, his first RTS games was C&C quickly followed by C&C Red Alert, next up was C&C Tiberian Sun. After this he moved to Age of Empires 2 and moved into the pro catagory of players and became a consistant figure in the top 20 at the height of AOE2. When Age of Mythology was released he moved on to become one of the best all times AOM players. He excelled at many games in the next few years becoming top 10 at the likes of BFME2 and Rise of Legends.
Necrosjef now focuses mainly on RL due to work and other issues however
he still maintains a presence in FA through his admin position on gamereplays.org
and he intends to return one day and regain his top 10 place in the ladder.
HappyTimes is a 22 year old professional slacker from
British Columbia. He started out his gaming career with Mario Bros. when
he was 2. Years later, when he got a computer, he started playing Red Alert
and TA over LAN. During his most active period, HappyTimes was consistently
ranked in the top 20 in SupCom, and was one of the earliest Gods to bring
glory to the clan in Supreme Commander.
FrogNuker is a 38 year old French born Australian currently living in Melbourne. Being French, and having an innate joy of nuking in Total Annihilation, the name "FrogNuker" was born. The froggish one married initially at 21, however was not so married at 26 - why else did you think he looked so happy?
Frog worked in IT support for many years before breaking away to trade
in the markets. He works from home as a day trader, and oh yes, it "r0x."
His hobbies include pwnzoring noobs, coding in HotBasic (faster than c++
with much better syntax to boot - highly recommended), and fractal geometry.
In his younger days, he used to go drag racing down at the track, and rebuilt
engines, made modifications, repairs, and other activities of that nature.
He also was a jazz musician once upon a time. FrogNuker helped beta test
Forged Alliance and is often so confused, he's not sure if it's out of beta
yet or not.
nemir is a twenty-something from Melbourne, Australia. He's looking for a job in Hong Kong in the IT field.
Prior to his SupCom career nemir played a lot of Go, and before that he
played a ton of Total Annihilation. He was pretty good at TA, perhaps in
the top one hundred or so. Before TA he was mega into 4x games like Master
of Orion. He also did QA for Krush Kill'N'Destroy. Look for his name in
the credits.
Slava "Grozoth" os a 17 year old student from Moscow,
Russia. He started gaming with Pacman and Doom2. His first RTS was Warcraft
but at 11 years old, it wasn't his favourite. The first RTS he played a
lot was Starcraft, but he only played that on LAN and not the Internet (poor
Grozzy!). Since discovering Starcraft he's played mostly RTS instead of
action and RPGs
My name is "Saduga", I am 27 years old. I was born on August 14, 1981 in Doneck, Ukraine. When I was 18 years old I went to serve in the army. Three years later I quit the army in the rank of a sergeant. After celebrating that glorious occasion for a couple o weeks I moved to the capital of Ukraine, Kiev where I've been living ever since.
I'm a businessman, co-owner of a security agency. Can't really remember when I started playing computer games but what I can say for sure is that my first bright experience was playing StarCraft which I still occasionally play. I also play different rpgs and other strategies. By the way, I never played Total Annihilation and was accidentally brought to SupCom by a friend of my which highly recommended it. It makes me sad that he doesn't play it anymore.
Excluding computer games, my hobbies are also powerlifting (pro level) and learning foreign languages. In music I prefer old russian rock and shanson (Russians will understand what it is). PS: The photo is old =/
