I never painted pewter figurines, but still work as a web developer... your chart is flawed!
Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

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

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Sorry to ask such an ignorant question here.
Isn't WOW the new D&D?
Liberty never came from government. The history of liberty is a history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of limitations of government power, not the increase of it. Woodrow Wilson, September 9th, 1912
"The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude."
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
- I do know 2600Hz and Captain Crunch
- 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"
- No fricking Microsoft Office. 'bout pitched Excel out the fricking Windows today
- 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.
