I'm a 42 year old from all-over (MN-FL-Qc-MI-CO-MT); I'm a Capricorn (if that matters to you); and professionally, i bounce between the computer world (networking & programming/coding) and driving new cars around the state/region for Avis Budget Group. I'm also a BIGTIME all-FPS, tactical 3PS, & hardcore RPG player (+ some strategy); who grew up on the Atari 2600 & Atari arcades, original Nintendo, and the Sega Genesis... and later got into hardcore PC gaming in/around 1995. Wolfenstein 3D, Warcraft II, & the original/1st Starcraft were my first "ventures" into the PCMR (on my own systems). ;) My very first games period were Asteroids, Contra, and the NES Mario around 1986/1987/1988.
