Well, I've been lurking on this board since early January but just registered this week (I have this thing about cookies. I don't like them [img]smile.gif[/img] ).
Anyway, I'm 36 and live in the DFW metroplex. I'm a web application programmer and I'm unmarried but a doting aunt (5 nieces, 1 nephew and 1 on the way -- I told you I was doting.
)
I started off with AD&D back in '79 and played various tabletop gaming systems for years. I too flirted with Pong and some of the old games on a Trash-80 but really got into the 1st gen video games. Strangely enough, I found myself getting away from them about the time they started developing all the various simulators and now I can't stand them at all. I am somewhat of a late-comer to computers, having taught myself how to use a 386 in '90 but I've come a long way since then.
I have been playing Wizardry since 6 and just completed my first Wiz8 game with the first party I ever took through Bane - they deserve all sorts of kudos for the length of time they've hung around waiting to finish the saga. I'm looking forward to going back and bringing all of my other parties through (I've got about 20 savegames) and THEN I'm going to start over with all new characters and see how -that- goes.
