Hello my name is Sean and I'm a proud native of the beautiful state of Colorado. In which most of our smog problem now consists of marijuana smoke lol.

I'm a born and raised nerd, growing up on Sega Master System, and NES. Some of my best childhood memories consist of watching sifi classics like Star Trek TNG and Sliders with my father and being sung to sleepwith renditions of Rush songs.

My hobbies include PC gaming (obviously) and table top (consisting of 40k, Rogue Trader rpg, X-Wing, and Bolt Action currently). I also enjoy reading and all sorts of music, movies, tv, and anime.

I look forward to playing with all of you!
 
I wonder if Colorado is the reason why you write color instead of colour in American English slang.
 
Actually this is what our state is named after..... http://www.statesymbolsusa.org/Colorado/name_Colorado.html

The spelling difference is actually due to a lack of consensus after the American Revolutionary War. Two different English dictionaries were written, one by the Englishman Samuel Johnson, and the other about 50 years later by Noah Webster an American. Websters nationalistic views took what would then have been considered slang, and claimed words like "color" as the primary spelling instead of "colour" claiming the latter as an "alternate" spelling....

Lol i was aware of the state naming but was curious about the difference in spellings and Googled it...
 
Thanks guys! :D

Sadly its kinda dying out in my area due to the price increases and the new rule book comming out so quickly. Lot of people at my friendly local game store are spending their money on Bolt Action atm.
