Well, to start with, like several people here I'm always the go-to techie. I have been working with computer since my first one which my brother helped me build when I was 9. That computer was a driver nightmare, and it's frequent problems were great to teach me how to find and fix most any problem myself
I've messed with various forms of coding, from VB, C++ and tons of game modding, especially LUA, XML UI stuff, etc. Nothing serious though.
Mainly I'm a hardcore gamer. I have been gaming all my life. Give me a couple days and I can beat anyone I know at any game
My preference has been MMOs since I started EQ1 back on the Christmas when Velious released. Played that around 5 years before moving onto EQ2. From there I wandered a bit trying CoV, TR, HGL, Eve and SWG. Finally remembered hearing about LoTRO and gave it a try. I found the PvE pretty lacking, but once I got into the PvMP as a creep I was hooked. I quickly became one of the top players on our server, founded the original best of the best guild when they added guilds in ( Though due to player issues we went through 2 changes before finally settling down to "Blogmal Scola Ettenmoors" where we fairly ran things on Silverlode. ) Naturally when WAR came about we all went over to that...and quickly began to break up due to that mess of a game. Also, I have been there for every single version of Myst Online ( Including the current completely free version. Anyone who likes Myst should definitely download it! )
Since then I have been very impatiently awaiting Star Wars The Old Republic. Bioware has proven themselves to me time and again, especially with the awesome KoTOR. swtor is going to become a major game, and it finally appears to be the first time all the people I've known from various games are going to get together. ( Anyone interested in joining a "meta-guild" for swtor can feel free to PM me a bit about yourself. Imperial mains only ATT, name will be "Imperium Inferi" for Infernal Empire. ) I spend more time on the swtor boards ( where I go by Zechio ) than I do here actually, lol. In fact, odds are anyone that follows tor has heard my name once or twice <grin>
No, you did not read wrong...I never have and never will play WoW. I can't stand the look/feel of it. <shrug>
I have also beta-tested most every game, including as far back as "Friends and Family" in EQ2. Currently I'm in Lego Universe beta...and that game is horrendous
I also spend a lot of time on these forums looking for anything of interest about the Inc and trying to help people out with any issues.
I also read a bit, mostly sci-fi ( though I also have a nearly complete set of the original Tarzan books. Very interesting reads, and VERY different from the Tarzan most people know, lol. )
Finally, I also have a T-Maxx ( An RC monster truck that runs on Nitro-Methane and does about 50 MPH. ) My parents build aluminum replacement parts for it which I've helped out a lot on in the past. Currently though my truck is completely broke down. My last run was pretty rough, and broke a fair bit plus covered the thing in tons of mud. So, I needed to take it apart to fix some things, replace screws, and remove a pound or so of caked on mud that was jamming everything up, and I haven't quite gotten around to putting it all back together.
P.S.: At 11 MMOs to date, have I won the most MMOs award?
RWAR!
