[DONE] Hello!

[ascian]

Hi all,
Making my introductory post as per sign-up requirements. I've read a bit about your community and it looks like my kind of place! I've been a console gamer since I was a kid, but discovered World of Warcraft which hooked me on "serious" games.

What games are you currently play/looking to play with TOG?
I play World of Warcraft (ex-hardcore raider, needed my life back so not doing that again), but I've just started playing LOTRO and I'm interested in joining The Osgiliath Guard kinship, hence the application

What was the first gaming console you own or pen and paper game you played?
First gaming console was a Sega Master System II... unless you count playing Ford Racing Simulator and BattleChess on my Dad's old Amstrad PC.

Why do you want to join TOG?
I'm interested in joining The Osgiliath Guard kinship, and read that you need to be a member of TOG. I'm specifically interested in that kinship because, I'm sure like many people here, I like gaming, but I don't like the teenage immaturity that hovers around (particularly being a female gamer).

Tell us about yourself or anything else you'd like to share.
I work as a User Experience Architect for a consultancy in Sydney, Australia. (It's got something to do with applying principles of psychology to designing websites, services and customer experiences - think iPhones, immersive store experiences, great websites... it's on the border between psychology, design and engineering). I know one of your members from my WoW guild (but I'm not sure what his name is on here).

Any questions, please feel free to ask!
Thanks
Vicki
