Well wouldn't the bottom left box be for you then? lol

no... I never owned an Atari and I can't write perl... can't get there from here :(

[dirkterrell]

I am doubting the technical accuracy of that diagram. Atari? Pfft. Real coders were writing games for the VIC-20.

Damn, Same here!!! D&D and all those Sci-Fiction CONs(conventions) - :cry:

Dana, you might want to put me on that list - except I never had a Gandalf Costume...

I want to PUSH the Red Button!!!

What is scary about this diagram is that explains my career path... LOLCATS

Since I have no clue wtf D&D is (the exhaust??), do I just go straight to girls? :lol:

[*GSXR~SNAIL*]

Sorry to ask such an ignorant question here.

Isn't WOW the new D&D?

BINGO, you are correct - Dana, Tell Him what he has won!!!

WoW (never played it - I hear it is very addicting (loss of Job, loss of Wife, loss of Life, loss of Home, loss of Reality) I'd rather smoke crack... (never done it):shocked:

[Snowman]

I think you can trade gold for crack in WOW...

[dm_gsxr]

Interesting chart.

D&D - well depends on what you mean by early. I was a wargamer before D&D.
Intense relationship with Science Fiction - Yep. Asimov, Heinlein, etc.
- No Gandalf costume; too old for that :)
- Went to a few Ren Faires, meh
- No on Harry Potter. I liked the movies ok but haven't read any of the books.
- Like original Star Wars trilogy (and Indiana Jones)
- Been to several cons including Genghis Con on Feb 14th and Tacticon in September.
- Of course SWAG. Same at Computer cons.

Intense relationship with Computers - Moreso than SciFi I guess
- Neuromancer, check (along with Mona Lisa Overdrive, etc)
- TRS-80, Color Computer, IBM PC, Apple ][ :)
- No, I did not teach myself Pascal. I taught myself C :p
- I do know 2600Hz and Captain Crunch :D
- No 'L337 - jeeze, that's script kiddies. I'm well beyond that.
- No Atari; gaming is strictly on my PC
- "For Dummies" - bad bad bad
- No chat rooms, no second life, no MMORPGs.
- "The Web" is not the same as "The Internet" :p
- No fricking Microsoft Office. 'bout pitched Excel out the fricking Windows today :scream1:
- Perl programmer, JavaScript programmer, PHP programmer, MySQL knowledge. No Python although I've done a bit of programming in it.

And to really connect it all up.

Shadowrun Role Playing Game - Cyberpunk (the Computer and Neuromancer references) with fantasy elements (Orks, Trolls, Dragons; like D&D).

The best of both worlds.

I also playtest for Catalyst Game Labs (publishers of Shadowrun) and am a volunteer proofreader. I own http://www.shadowrun.us and http://www.shadowtalk.us

Shadowrun 20th Anniversary this year.

And yea, doubting the technical accuracy of the diagram. It's a bit out of date I think. Not too much though.

Thanks.

Couldn't stand Shadowrun. Some of the elements were cool but the system had many flaws imo (I'm sure they fixed them in later editions). More of a Cyberpunk 2020 man myself. That and a big Battletech guy.

Did the cons, love sci fi, hate bad sci fi, transitioned to mmorpgs but on occasion when I find a good group I don't mind having a beer and throwing some dice.

I never saw Cyberpunk (or the others) until I got back into gaming a couple of years back. I was reading Gibson and spotted Shadowrun when it came out and picked up the book. Back in '89, you were limited by what the FLGS ordered and didn't have the web to see all the other available games.

I liked Shadowrun at the time because it was computer and future based and because it had fantasy elements. Coming from D&D, it was a mostly familiar setting with some new stuff. Not a total transition into a brand new thing. Plus I'd been playing Paranoia a few times and have been in computers since 79, so I was ready for a computer type RPGs.

I have played on line a few times but I'm not really interested in paying $15 a month to get my ass waxed by some twitch happy kid who has nothing else to do, 14 hours a day.

Yeah, which is why I don't really get into PvP. Had enough of it playing Ultima Online. Most games these days it is an option rather then mandatory.

Still miss the good ol' days of pen-and-paper playing (until 3am), drinking beer, eating questionable food and laughing at truly geeky stuff. Like playing Illuminati and making Barney the messiah and giving him orbital mind control lasers....good times. :)

Still have the Illuminati boxed set. Ogre too :) There's an expansion to Illuminati. I can't seem to find folk that are interested though.

I've been playing Wings of War at work with the gang. WWI air combat fairly simplified. Still pretty good though.

anyone else ever into Tribes?
