All are welcome to chime in, talk about their favorite games or learn about gaming of any sort.

Stories that involve lost MONTHS to that game.
My sister, the WoW widow. Let me show you her.
I'm interested in being part of a gaming group... but I don't fit the mold (mac-primary, severe lack of experience, [ETA - sprog-based lack of time]). BT, if we could figure out the time difference, that would rock. My sister could come play too (if her DH would back away from the computer for a bit) - NZTelecom just gifted them broadband.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEAN!!!
Birthday happies, Sean!
I've never been all that interested in MMOs. The idea of playing video games with a bunch of strangers just doesn't appeal to me. All too often, the total strangers turn out to be total dicks.
This is me, pretty much. In theory, I like the idea of playing games with actual people and not just the machine. In practice, not THOSE people, and usually not those games.
unrelatedly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SEAN!!
The South Park WoW episode pretty much killed the minimal curiousity I might have had about MMOs.
billytea, can I just say that I'm a wee bit jealous of your gaming group? If anyone tried to build that immersive of a world with my usual group, they would meet with even more smart-assedness and threats to burn down the city than usual.
Nah. I think we're still trying to find the right balance. Still working on bringing some of the NPCs to life, and I have to fight a tendency to railroad. Of course, they're only on the first mission, I'm working on expanding their options as they get more established. (It'll be more fun that way when I rip it all from them.)
So, anyone come across any good scary nightmares?
Thanks, gang! You're all awesome!
BT, I had some ideas for nightmares, but I'm running out the door to work. I'll post later.
Sean, I want to meet with you to create my character, for lo I am slow.
Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEAN!!
(Now come up to Seattle.)
Happy Birthday Sean!!
Sorry you didn't get to join us for games this weekend. Fun was had. Must come back (and not have horrific traffic, not get a parking ticket, and, most importantly, not scrape the side of my car in a tight parking lot).
