Update: 8/15/08

It occures to me today, as I scanned some blogs at lunch that with so many of them going, you might ask “why should I read this one?”  And I don’t really have an answer to that.  Still, I hope you enjoy what you read, and if you have any tips, feel free to pass them on my way.

I have opinions about games.  And I have questions about games.  And I can write.  So that pretty much qualifies me for a blog.

But for the deeper story: I’ve been playing MMO’s for the last five years.  My first was Everquest: Online Adventures and my latest has been EVE Online.  I like PvE group fun, but I hate raiding.  I like crafting and economy in PvP games, but rarely the PvP itself.

I also love games outside of MMO’s.  RPG, Miniatures, PC, XBox, PS2, even a few CCG’s (you should see my M:TG deck, which was created circa ‘94).

Personally, I’m a guy who invests decent time every week, but doesn’t consider himself a hardcore player.

I have a wife, three kids (two girls and a boy), and a steady job.

I usually play on my desktop – AMD 2.8ghz Dual Core, 2g RAM, oodles of HD, and NVidia 8600GT 256mb video card.  I also have a pretty sweet sound system, but that’s not as important these days.
