I'm new here, so I suppose I should introduce myself (and Moiraine prompted me to, so I guess I gotta do it. We all gotta do what Moiraine says, just like the book, right?)
Anyways, I'm one of the few females I've ever met who can happily spend all weekend playing games. I'm 31 years old, a software engineer at one of the largest storage software companies in the world. I played Baldur's Gate a couple years ago, and I'm playing Icewind Dale as sort of an in-between before I get my new computer, on order from Dell. See, what I *really* want to be playing is Black and White, but alas, the ol' laptop won't run it. Hi all! |

Welcome Barbra!
Sounds like you have the life, Software programmer. You will find that you are not at all alone, in your computer gaming ways. There are a lot of female gamerz here, although most seem to be 25-30+, except melusine, who I think is a bit younger. Anyway, I am sure you will find yourself welcomed by all!! ------------------ "Watch your back" - Sylent |

HI! How are you! A friend of Moiraine will be a friend of ours. I saw Black and White this weekend (bought Wizards and Warriors as our friends in that forum will attest) but didn't know anything about the game. What is the basic plot etc. I'm sure Cloudy will be by soon with the offical welcome wagon, but I just wanted to say hi!

I've got a Dell Inspirion 1 Ghz PIII/256MB/32Gig HD/ATI 32MB Video coming in. I've been vacillating between setting up a really kickass desktop gaming machine or getting another laptop (I currently have a Winbook). Definitely give up stuff to get a laptop, but it's just sooo nice to be able to carry it around the house with me. hehehee... when I have a new game, a laptop is about the only way the boyfriend gets to see me since I can lay on the couch and play. If I had to go in the office to use a desktop he'd get mad since he'd effectively not see me for a couple weeks. The problems I have!

You are so welcome here. Even though we are vastly outnumbered by the guys, I think there are more of us here than you think. Please visit the Moon's Hope Inn, if you want to, that's where everyone hangs out. And welcome, Moiraine is the best and you were right, you just have to do what she says.

Hi Draconia, I'm in the Boulder area. How 'bout you? I get to Utah every year or so - beautiful state!
