Heya,
I am Michael. I'm 42, married, father of 3 and I am a gamer.
- What games are you currently play/looking to play with TOG?
Currently I am playing eve online, but I occasionally play WoW, Fallen Earth and CoH as the mood strikes me. I quit playing wow daily about 8 months ago after 5 years, and I'm waiting with great excitement for Star Wars the Old Republic to ship.
- What was the first gaming console you own or pen and paper game you played?
First Pen and paper game: Dungeons and Dragons, first edition.
First console game: I got a PONG machine for chrismas in 1975 from sears and roebuck. I threw such a tantrum when I saw it that my mother bought it just to shut me up. by summer I had a callous on my hand from the controller (ergonomics was not invented yet) and I was a confirmed gamer. I still have the PONG machine in my attic, it doesn't work anymore, but I'm still rather fond of it.
- Why do you want to join TOG?
Because I am sick of smack talking, foul mouthed teenaged punks in every guild/clan I have ever joined in every game. I've spent the last 8 months soloing because its just not worth it to listen to these kids butcher the english language.
- Tell us about yourself or anything else you'd like to share.
I've been all over, but I'm originally from Iowa. I like science fiction quite a lot, and I've read a lot of scifi and played a lot of scifi games over the years. I look forward to retiring so I can do it full time.
