Well, I've been playing on LM on and off under different accounts for jeez, as long as I can remember playing NS. LM has always been that server on the Favorites list that I always jump on. You know, one of those "Aww, it's full/I got kicked? Now I guess I have to go listen to the pubbers yell at eachother and get lost on ns_mineshaft" kind of things.
I said to myself, "Self," I said, "Why did you never, ever signed up on the forums?" "Well" I responded, "I really don't know." I figure I owe it to the forum whore in me to say hello!
What else? I'm 20 years old, recently moved to Santa Cruz CA. I love me some NS... seriously looove me some NS. I had to uninstall it so I could get work done, and more than a few times! But I always come back to my golden baby. Damn, that game is GOOD. So addicting! So satisfying! No computer game as of yet has been able to compare.
This computer here isn't mine. It's my roomies and long time friend's. And my god can it savage Halflife. I've been playing NS for years on a 16 meg onboard video card. Feel my pain! Now I can actually SEE, I can actually AIM... I don't know how I lived without (or rather, I know how I died without)!
I'm also a board game freak on the side. I saw a Settlers topic down a bit, and so I know at least someone can sympathize. War of the Ring, Puerto Rico, Game of Thrones, and most recently Twilight Imperium 3rd Ed. (with a few choice houserulings). Yes, I'm a bit of a FFG whore, but my next aquisition is shaping up to be Power Grid, which I've heard good things about. A little beer & pretzel Zombies!!! action too!
I'm getting a job on a commercial salmon boat, but till then I have way too much free time. I'm a regular internet addict, so I'm sure I'll be seeing you all around for the forseeable future!
