I've been gaming for a bout 20 years, now, ever since I first saw my dad play Ultima 5. I've played regularly on most consoles and portables (even back to the Atari), but only owned a few.

I mostly play World of Warcraft, when i have time, now. (Is it a sin that my PS2 has pretty much been delegated to playing exercise videos? :P ) In WoW, I'm in a guild that has its cake and eats it too. We're a hardcore guild with a casual frame of mind. We're damn good, but real-life takes precedence, and that's the way it should be!

I'm a total blast to be around, if I do say so myself! I'm a little nutters, and I've got a serious sick mind. I'm a totally open-minded person, <rant>but those of you my generation likes to refer to as the CS kiddies need to stay the hell away or learn to speak English and play nice with others. Maybe it's because I'm a writer, or because I was born before 1985, but unless used ironically or comically, I will send packing anyone who can't spell out the words "you" and "are" or any other similarly abused word. </rant>

Anyway! I'm also a HUGE music freak. I listen to looots of different stuff, but mostly indie rock, oldies, classical, and hard rock. I'm really interested in the new music scene, so I'm hoping this summer I'll get to check out some new Chi-town bands, so if anyone wants to come along, let me know!
