Hello!

Hiya,

I'm 48 and play 100% PC games, currently TESO, SWTOR, LOTRO, and GW2. Also Skyrim...modded to death. I am always looking for someone to play with online. I'm in California, most often play in the evenings, and most hours are Thursday through Sunday. I usually play a thief/burg/smuggler or equivalent rogue-type.

I started MMORPG with LOTRO seven? years ago. I spent a lot of time in video arcades in my *late* teen years (sigh...those were fun days), then pretty much stayed away from gaming for a long time. I am totally dyslexic with an Xbox controller and have no idea how to play PS.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only crazy woman of my age group who likes gaming. Seems like only my kids understand why I get excited about things like the new Fallout update or Youtube videos of playthroughs or spoofs.

In the real world I work, like to play guitar, read fantasy & sci fi, watch NCIS, swim, run (though not as much as I used to) and pretend I'm not addicted to video games.

Glad to be part of this community!

Welcome, LadieBurg.  What kind of music do you play?  48 year old female gamer into fantasy... I can see you shredding some Slayer on a Warlock.  ;)

LMAO. Not quite...but that would be fun!

I prefer classical acoustic. My goal is to be able to play like this:

Not anymore.  I played the violin, viola, and acoustic guitar for a few years but that stopped and in place took skipping class and smoking weed at friends houses.  I should get back into playing  but video games consume me now.  I can't seem to do anything I like in moderation ;)  Love me some fantasy and sci-fi RPG's (Skyrim, Chrono Trigger, Phantasy Star, Star Ocean, Fallout, etc.) The Hobbit is my favorite book, and I watch Star Trek TNG on a regular basis.

If you ever decide to get into Xbox let me know.  Maybe we can play some Elder Scrolls Online together or something.  I'm sure you'll find some PC gamers to befriend here, however.

Awesome - I watched TNG until I could quote the actors. Now I can't watch any  more......lol...*confession of a binge watcher*

Same to you - if you ever get into PC games let me know. From your post, I think the probability of me playing Xbox is about the same as you taking up the violin again...hehehehe....there's just too many &*$% buttons on the Xbox controllers for me. My PC has just the 3 mouse buttons and WASD cheeky

Welcome, LadieBurg! Was pretty much exclusively PC myself up until a couple of months ago when I got my Xbox. The controller definitely takes some getting used to, but it's awesome to be able to play away from a table!

All my consoles are gathering dust atm. Building a new rig for PC gaming, but I am crap with keyboard/mouse setup so I have ordered a steam controller, hope it don`t suck too much on release. Using a 360 controller till that arrives.

Yeah, my buddy talks about how he's going to drop $400 just so he can have the best PC to play Doom.
