Is that the name of your character? ;)

You know, so when you kill someone it says: "You were just killed by: a 2 year old son."

Battletech > D&D

I was a science geek, president of the science olympiad club at my HS, boy scout until I was 18, majored in computer science in college... But can honestly say I have never played D&D.

Also got into wargames: AH, VG, ASL, WiF, ... you name it

Then into MMORPGs: Star Wars Galaxies, WoW, ...

Now I have a 2 year old son :)

Yep, pretty much the same here.

I have daughters now. Stopped playing when they gutted SWG. Which server on SWG?

onlycafe 01-16-2009 01:19 PM

nope.
i used to play asteroids on a quarter machine though. does that count?

Never played D&D, but I was hugely into Everquest when it first came out. A bunch of us (16) that raced simulators online formed a guild in Everquest. Man, I have to say, that was more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Later tried Star Wars, but the thrill was gone.

I played until I started noticing girls.....

red-beard 01-16-2009 01:42 PM

No.....

I played ADVANCED Dungeons & Dragons

I preferred Traveller or Survivor. I also liked some of the Tank battle and Air Combat similations. I lost interest about 1/2 way through college.

Nope. I have it but haven't found a way to run it in 32 or 64 bit.
it doesn't work with doomsday.
If you know a way, I'm all over it.

slakjaw 01-16-2009 01:44 PM

Nope

slakjaw 01-16-2009 01:45 PM

But I do play Cybernations.net

As a lifelong computer nerd my friends and coworkers think I have some sort of brain damage cause I have never been into computer games. Zero interest.

My goofing around time is spent sightseeing with Google Earth.

lukeh 01-16-2009 02:13 PM

Yup, all the time (early 80s). I also enjoyed the D & D based Boulder's Gate and Icewind Dale computer games that came much later. I was also 1st board on the chess team and starting DE on the football team. So no, just because you play D&D and are on the chess club doesn't mean you can't chew gum and walk at the same time.

slodave 01-16-2009 02:20 PM

Yes. I had some cool characters that my cousin kept for me. Then, he stopped playing and dumped everything :(.

Schrup 01-16-2009 02:23 PM

I have never played D&D, was too busy partying. Now that my party days are long gone, I do play MMOs. I currently play Lord of the Rings Online. I play about 6-8 hours a week if I don't have anything major going on. I don't play much when the weather gets nice.

There's a small freeware program called DosBox. It's a DOS emulator. Probably version 7 or 8.
