Hello, my name is Chris. My gamertag is: Flyboy80498. I am a 34 year old male gamer from Elizabethtown, Kentucky. I am a disabled USAF veteran that enjoys all types of games. I do have gaming ADD. That means, unless it is a favorite game, I tend to play the game and get disinterested in it fairly quickly (especially when another hot new game hits the market). I'll play the game from beginning to end. But if it doesn't rank in my favorites, it usually finds a spot on the "will get back to list" within two or three weeks. That means I am always on the hunt for the next best game to be playing, or I fall back on my favorites (which I am doing right now with the Mass Effect series).
My favorite type of games are RPGs (IE: Skyrim, Mass Effect), Sports (IE: Madden, NCAA Football, and most recently FIFA), and some shooters (Like Mass Effect and Borderlands). I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE my old adventure games from Sierra. I grew up playing Leisure Suit Larry, Police Quest, Kings Quest, Space Quest and Quest for Glory. Out of them all my favorite is a much maligned one from the original maker of Police Quest, and that is: Codename: Iceman. While it is rough in some spots, I believe that is what makes it great. I have to laugh at this, but my very first game on the computer was Leisure Suit Larry I: Land of the Lounge Lizards. I must have been 8 or 9 and trying to get past those blasted age test questions at the beginning with no help. Back then there was no internet, so there was no quick way of looking up the answers. After 10 or so tries each time, I would FINALLY get to play the game, and be in bliss until I turned it off and realized I would have to redo the test questions to play it again. Good times. It is amazing I turned out as balanced of an adult as I have. I can't imagine Al Lowe was going for the 8 to 9 year old demographic when writing LSL: The Land of the Lounge Lizards and subsequent Leisure Suit Larry games. Thankfully there are emulators that allow them to work on the new computers, and I still play all the old, great Sierra games from the 80's to early 90's to this day. Many of them with shortcuts on my desktop =o). But, that is the extent of my computer gaming right now.
My favorite games on the XBox 360 are Mass Effect Series (to include the original ending of #3), Assassin's Creed Series, Borderlands 1 & 2, Skyrim, Fallout 3 and New Vegas, Bioshock 1 & 2 and Batman Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. I lend games to friends, but my favorites absolutely don't get to leave my house, lol. I am not so much into multiplayer games unless I can find good (meaning they are fun to play with), honest people to play with (and that can be difficult at times). If the people that play multiplayer are fun to play with, are honest, and can put up with me learning whatever game we are playing, then I am all for multiplayer of any game. It is when I come across the people who can't stand to play with me because I am new at the game, or am not very good at it because I don't decicate my entire gaming to the game that we are playing MP in, that I have problems with. And those are the people that I politely excuse myself from their game =oD.
I also enjoy watching TV. Sci-Fi, some reality TV (Survivor, skill based competitions, and job shows (like Alaska State Troopers)), comedy along with Drama are my favorite genres to watch. Survivor, Battlestar Gallatica and Modern Marvels are my favorite shows. I absolutely love to watch the History, National Geographic, Discovery, Military Channel. I especially love the History Channel's newest mini-series that they are showing (like Mankind: The Story of All of Us, The Men Who Built America, and most recently Vikings). I am VERY HUGE into sports. More specifically, College Basketball (University of Kentucky fan here) and Professional Football (Green Bay Fan, grew up watching them with my family that is from Wisconsin). I like other sports, but I am not as passionate about watching them as I am about College Basketball and the NFL. I am also a longtime suffering Cubs fan (going on 35 years this year).
I love the outdoors and spending as much time doing outdoorsy stuff as possible. However with my disablities, I can not do as much as I used to be able to do. So going to the park and throwing a line into the lake is a great time for me these days outdoors. If I get the opportunity (and my body allows it), I love to snowboard and snowshoe. I love to hike and bike. But those are all activities based on how I am feeling that day. And if I do them, they are in moderation. Even then, I pay for doing them with being severely sore the next day from chronic stomach pain (from being shot).
When I get the opportunity (meaning when my ex-wife isn't a world class *****) I get to spend time with my 12 year old son. Currently I travel back and forth to Missouri to see him twice a month. And of course he is 100% the focus of everything during the time I am with him. Everything I described above goes to last of the important list when he is with me and he is #1 on the important list at all times. Even when he isn't with me, I try to call him three to four times a week so we can talk and BS on the phone (or Skype).
That's me in a brief, or semi-brief, LOL. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I am always willing to answer most of them. I am also ALWAYS looking for great multiplayer and co-op players for games (especially newer games)

Then there is areas for sports and what not as well. You definetly have a lot of gaming interests and thats good. I feel I gots the gaming ADD as well. Seems I put more energy into thinking about a game before it comes out then actually playing it.
If you got PC, don't forget to get excited for new Elder Scrolls Online gaming coming out later this year. I know I am.
Hi fellow RPGers ! I'm Seatigress --- a 40ish female gamer and self-professed gaming addict. Like many of you, I grew up with Pong, Atari, and the C-64. I think my fascination with the RPGs started with the Ultima series (remember when you were just a little white icon that moved tile by tile?) and then grew to such titles as Baldur's Gate, Temple of Elemental Evil (D&D,) and now the MMORPGs. Currently I play only PC games and most of my time is spent on WoW, with brief diversions to SWTOR, Civ, SimCity, COD and ME3. Adult ADD is a problem so I have to have a full roster of every available type of toon at any time or I'm not happy :)
IRL, I'm a veterinarian who enjoys internal medicine cases, saltwater fishing and spending time with my huz and numerous dogs.
If anyone wants to group up for the MMORPGs, send me a message. I'm on Eastern time and play most evenings.
Welcome! I did a tour in WoW and FFXI. We have had some dedicated groups come and go. Recently we had ME3, Borderlands and right now Darth Bill is the go to man for Defiance. I just built a gaming PC and will probably at least try out a few of the games I missed over the years. I may just give Age of Conan a try since it is F2P. I always had a soft spot for Funcom and was disapointed that AoC never came to a console.
I am thinking the next big thing on the horizon will be Elder Scrolls Online but who knows! Maybe I will change out my 6yr old forum sig. :)
Figured I should probably pop in and say hi. Some of you may recognize me from the OT forums, where I hang around a little bit. I've been around the site for a while now with the 2old4forza group. Current RPG titles I'm playing; GW2, Torchlight 2, and now Neverwinter. I've been a long time fantasy/RPG fan since picking up my first Dragonriders of Pern book back in 1989. I've played through some of the earlier Balder's Gate, GW1, Torchlight, and Diablo 2/3 on PC. Several hack n' slash titles on PS2/3, and dabble in a couple of the Elder Scrolls on xBox/360 (though never progressed very far in those). I've tried WoW through a free trial I recieved from a friend, but found it not to be my cup of tea, and let the account expire. I've even done some DnD...you know, the type with the dice.
Sim racing is my main form of gaming still, but when I'm not turning corners, I like to hack and torch monsters. I'm not any good at it, but I have fun.

I like the SciFi network too! That Defiance show looks interesting. Thanks for the Bio!
Hi Everyone! Thanks for having me!
I see quite a few familiar faces in here. Pretty stoked about Defiance so I figured I better hook up with like - minded individuals.
I usually game between 12 - 2 EST during the week, on and off Saturdays, and most of the day Sundays.
Hey there! Welcome to the group.
