IRL:
Name: Michael
DOB: 15 Dec 57 (44y/o)
Retired AF meteorologist (with 5 years service as a Special Ops operator) now working as a quality control manager.
Currently live in East Texas.
Divorced father of an awesome 18 y/o daughter (Haley) who is in her first year of college (Hi baby - LOVE YA!!)
Hobbies: Disc golf, writing poetry, working out and (of course) - computer games!
GAMES:
My gaming heritage derives from the old SSI and AH turn-based military board games. Throw in a heavy dose of D&D in college - I owned the original three book set and remember when Greyhawk and Blackmoor were revolutionary improvements to the game (well, Greyhawk was - Blackmoor never did much for me).
With my strong turn-based roots, I don't normally like RTS games, but am finding SH fun despite it's various shortcomings.
My favorite online game ever is Air Warrior (Classic through AW3). I won several worldwide online 1v1 and 2v2 tournaments over the 6 years I played it. EA.com axed it last December - a sad day indeed =(
I love Civ3 and have also spent a few hours rebuilding Rome off and on over the years.
Playing now: SH, Civ3, Panzer General3, and Literati (on Yahoo)
FORUM: Brand new to this one.
