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 ![]() 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.

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

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. ![]() |
