Hey - played Ultima Online (vis modem!) ..and met my wife on-line there too. One of the first on-line romances I suspect!

Video games are the perfect escape! I've played just about every one out there and I still go back to WoW every so often.

Dragon Age is awesome, easily one of my top 3 favorite games ever. Dragon Age 2, not so much. Check out Skyrim if you get a chance too.

I had an xbox 360; the main reason I went over to pc was I couldn't afford an xbox one when it died! I needed a pc so slowly built a gaming pc, getting a part or two every month instead.

Skyrim is my next (and last for a while!) game.

I'm "old-school".

I play Sid Meier Games (Civilization, Alpha Centauri, Railroad Tycoon), and old text-based MMORPG's known as MUDs, or Multi-User Dungeons.

I probably spend too much time on these games, but it's better than ending up God-knows-where from drinking.

All fantastic games. You ever play Dragon Realms or Gemstone 3?

I play Starcraft 2 like nobody's business. It has the added benefit of being an RTS (real time strategy) game. I play competitively, and I can tell you that if you're drinking you will be awful at it. A video game might sound like a dumb motivator for being sober, but I really find that it works. Especially since I play in the evenings which used to be my drinking time.

Now I use that time to eradicate the universe of the Protoss race. :-)

We'd all have to start on the same realm. If you're serious about that I wouldn't mind joining in. Alliance or Horde? lol. Pvp? regular? Roleplaying?

I haven't played in a few days because my friends I play with abandoned me in Ogrimmar and I'm usually an alliance person so I dunno where to go.

About 130 average APM for a typical Zerg game. If I go muta ling baneling tech, I have been known to spike in the neighborhood of 300 during attacks. Two armies hotkeyed, attacking two different places at once, queen injections, making more army, upgrading army, etc...

Hell yeah I'm serious! If we can get enough ppl on board.. Wow seems to be the popular choice. But hey I'd leave GW2 for wow if we got a good guild going

Haha Justin that sounds intense. I've only got the starter edition and only started playing again.. I got like 40 APM at the moment lol

I've still not got round to buying Starcraft. Perhaps I will see if I can pick it up cheapish.

Those playing the witcher I agree it's a great series! Looking forward to getting stuck into the wild hunt.
