I am a WoW addict, Fall Out 3, I still play the class RPG's such as Final Fantasy when I get a chance, I enjoy Oblivion, dying many times to 14 yr olds on Halo and Gears of War when I had xbox live working. Mass Effect, and currently I'm dorking out on some Star Trek.

I'm with you on the Final Fantasy series. I loved getting completely lost in those games for days on end growing up.

My favorite all time game ever has to be Secret of Mana. I spent many months neglecting my school work for that one.

I was horde for years before my guild happened to ditch me for Warhammer Online, then I found out my old roommate was playing Alliance on a server so I followed him to that server. Now I get to play a goat. I actually enjoy my goat though.
I don't think I can yet, or not until a certain amount of posts. It's nothing all that wonderful, I tend to just screw around and make signatures for another site I frequent.

Which star trek game? and are you a Borg fan too?
Speaking of science fiction are you a fan of science fiction games in particular, because I know a good sci-fi mmo I could introduce you to.

Yep it is. Though maybe it's time you returned, they've made quite a few updates recently. One being a complete overhaul of the graphics. Also this march they're finaly fullfilling the dream, they're finaly letting us out of our pods!
Apparently we'll be able to walk into our corperate offices, and even buy space inside the station for things like bars where they'll make minigames available.
They're also working on letting us go on the planets, making a EVE online TV show, and adjusting the client so it is easier to run multiple accounts at once, Tech 3, and discoverable wormholes into new controllable areas of space.
There is one other gnetter who also plays on EVE online with me.
I've seen Star Trek Legacy but what I've played of it's demo kind of discouraged me due to it's control scheme.

No it's just you see in EVE online players have for years been asking to be let out of our pods. For 5 years everyone has been stuck onboard their spaceships in pods with all our senses hardwired into the ship. We're eager to FINALY get out of our pods.
The only other way out of our pods is to get blown up, and the split-second a pod is breached our minds get transfered to another body, in another pod, so it's impossible to escape! Talk about cabin fever. I've never even seen what I look like below the shoulder.

I might look into playing again after the Holidays come and go.
I am not the greatest, nor am I a scrub. I am mediocre at best.

You seem rather interesting, do you have a Instant messenger of some sort?
Also we have at least two other people down in Texas that I know of, one is in Dallas, the other I cannot remember.

I'm afraid it isn't visible. You see gnet's profiles arn't very.... comprehensive. You see this whole website is moderated by one person and a long while back was driven to greatly reduce Gnet's features. We're lucky as it is to even have a in-forum private messaging system because untill not too long ago the administrator had it disabled.
I'm betting the administrator has that second of all profiles bocked. But don't try to post your email as the censor will block it, you need a certain number of posts in order to be able to post links. Just post your screen name but I must warn you I don't use aim nearly as much as I use msn messenger. Which works best for you

30 is the marker to posting links. You can see a rough example of me screwing around with photoshop it in my profile photo. Maybe I'll get around to uploading some things later this week.
