Early Sunday morning; bored with all gaming, so why not post my introduction thread!

I refused to play any fps game since, simply put, I suck at aiming.  My friend bought TF2 for me, so I played medic and engy a lot at first, then decided to do some mouse + 1 and, for some reason, sniping.

I'm in my mid 20s, married (no kids), and teaching History at a high school in SW Arizona.  Originally from the NW burbs of Chicago, I do plan to return after a few years out here to get some experience and a full teaching certificate.

During this first year of teaching, I don't have much free time, but when Christmas break hits, I'm good to go Big Grin

I'm an old school starter in gaming.  My first system was the Atari 2600, but I didn't get as much out of that as I did out of my Sega Master System.  My Dad hated Nintendo, so my first Nintendo system was the SNES which I bought from a friend.  I did, however, own the SegaCD and 32x, making my Sega32xCD version of Fahrenheit pretty sweet.  I still own Knuckles Chaotix, Lunar I and II and Shining Force CD, so I am happy. 

I'll find a picture to upload of these early days. Here's that picture

I still suck at aiming.

Actually, my physics teacher is a heavy World of Warcrafter.  He even has his own blog.

College classes need the littlest excuses to get cancelled.  I had one cancelled since the professor got a WARNING for speeding (didn't even have a ticket)...

Nice. Any idea why your Dad hated Nintendo though? Seems odd to have had fanboys that early in the game. Tongue

I always thought that never really started until the Genesis came out, and wasn't really around when the SMS was Sega's big thing.

If only they had message boards back then!  Also welcome brooner.

I think I'm older than you yet you still got seniority because of your teacher cred.  How odd.  I guess you get automatic plus 10 to age points when you become a teacher.
