Hello, TAB!

My name is Chris and I'm a 23 year old student/programmer at USF in Florida. I've been hopping my way around the IT department here for two years while I work on my degree in Information Technology. I've spent some time with the help desk (phones gave me PTSD), desktop support, image development and deployment, datacenter operations, and have finally settled in to software engineering. In my free time away from computers I mostly swing dance. I've been lindy hopping (note: these are professionals and I don't look nearly as good in a hat) for just over a year and have started traveling all over the US for dance exchanges and workshops.

As far as games go I usually spend my time playing FPS and MMO games. I fell in love with MMOs with City of Heroes and WoW when they first came out, and have played most of the popular ones since (Rift, Tera, GW2, all WoW expansions, Tera, Aion, and probably a few more I've forgotten). My favorite FPS to date is probably Battlefield: Bad Company 2, closely followed by Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 2 (with nostalgia factored in, of course). I like to play a ton of games though. Currently I am playing League of Legends, World of Warcraft, Tera, Neverwinter, Diablo 3, and occasionally Borderlands 2 when I'm in a console mood. I am most looking forward to Wildstar when it comes out and will most likely spend all of my game time on that for a few weeks/months/years once it's live. You can count on seeing FranticFrag the Spellslinging Scientist around Nexus probing all of the things.

If anyone wants to play or chat, feel free to add me on Steam and shoot me a message. I hope to play with you all soon!

What up errybuddy, I'm Joe, but you can call me Crake!
I hail from lovely New York City, the place where dreams are made and then destroyed. I was an EMT for 3 years and an ICU tech, and I just finished a second bachelors in Nursing and plan on continuing on to pursue my master's as well! I'm 26 years old and live in a surprisingly decent sized apartment (for New York) with my girlfriend who sings and acts and generally makes no money.
I've been into MMO gaming for as long as I can remember, and I found this lovely website on a Wildstar site, and I am looking to get to know everyone to see if this would be a good fit for me when I can finally venture forth into the world of Wildstar! I've been reading up a bit on the site, and so far I really like what I see. It's been a while since I've been a part of a gaming community, and I really want to find a place to settle down and have game babies. Other then that I'm pretty open, and may even be willing to check out your embarrassing health problems once we become friends!

I also enjoy musical endeavors ( you can check out the stuff I've been helping my girlfriend with at her website --> iheartmallory.com ). I consider myself a bit of a beer connoisseur, though I am by no means an expert. Mostly I just like drinking beer. I sometimes like to slackline; if anyone in NYC wants to hit me up for some slacklining this summer I'm totally down.

Look forward to getting to know everyone!

P.S. I am a bit of a forum whore. I apologize in advanced.


Hey NY, we can talk here so not to derail the rant. :) I live in Weehaweken 10 minutes into 42nd. 24/7 privat ebuses woo woo.

Where ya at?
 
Nice, I live way up on 181st St in Hudson heights; kinda the gentrified portion of Washington heights. I just finished up at Columbia which is a few blocks away!

Yeah I know quite a few friends in that exact area. Affordable if you live with someone :) and don't mind marange and bachata(spelling is not right on either of those btw) music.
 
I was a little more excited prior to seeing that your name is Frag and not Frog. :(

But welcome to the site nonetheless!


FranticFrog is a pretty good name... Maybe I'll make an alt with that name in Wildstar and commute entirely with double jump. The frag name came from my habit of throwing grenades randomly in any game that has grenades. It isn't the most economical strategy, but it does lead to quite a few surprised enemies and it keeps my teammates on their toes! :D

Hello! the name is Will!

I play all sorts of games, most recently I have been playing Borderlands 2 and Bioshock infinite. I haven't really played any MMOs since I quite WoW, but WildStar is shaping up to be something I am beyond excited for :)

I am also a huge roller coaster fanatic, looking forward to my trip to Cedar Point this summer! I have been on some of the tallest and fastest coasters in North America. Soon I shall ride the best coasters that circle the world! (one day!)

HAPPY! One of the best anime "mascots" on e circuit right now :) +1 for the anime club lol

I remember riding Superman when it came to Six Flags New England all those years ago. It was a big bad rollercoaster back then. Now it's like "average" lol. Man I need to go to more theme parks....

Its a bummer that the anime has ended for the time being. I now wait (in)patiently for new chapters ever week haha. If you want to go to a park that has it all, Cedar Point!! My Brother and I went last year and the sole reason we decided we are going back is for this. their newest ride! :D



Thanks for all the welcomes, its great to be here!

(Bizarro) Superman is awesome! Probably my favorite coaster right now. I can't ride upside-down coasters too much, because my head slams against the restraints and gives me a migraine. Kinda puts a damper on the whole day.
I've never ridden the Mind Eraser for that reason. -bruceno-

Suddenly I realize that the Occulus Rift could be used for more than just gaming, ^^
 
Ok so here I am introducing myself.

I'm Fen. You can call me Fen. I was born in Pennsylvania and live in Kentucky. I have most of my teeth and usually rarely wear shoes. My husband is not my blood relative. I live in a county where bourbon was first made, but until a few years ago we couldn't buy a beer without driving over the county line.

For about 15 years I was the parts dept. manager and then parts & service director at a Ford dealership. I got out right before the industry went to shit in 2008. Since then my husband and I have started an online shop selling vintage collectibles and home decor. We spend weekends digging through other peoples junk at yard sales and flea markets looking for stuff other people will love. It's great! I get to go shopping all the time and never feel guilty. Basically, I play the AH irl.

I am very sociable and talkative, but I will speak less the more people you gather around. I think that primarily comes being a raid leader for years and knowing what a clusterf**k it is when 10 different people think they have the only voice that matters. In a large group environment like 40 mans in Wildstar you'll probably only hear the occasional one liner from me. Ok, more than occasional. I really like to make wise ass remarks so be forewarned.

I cuss like a sailor. Really, I do. Thank god for push to talk.

For some reason people open up to me like I'm Barbara Walters whether I want them to or not. I said this to the last guy to spill his deepest darkest secrets to me, and his response was "I don't know who that is." It was at that exact moment that I realized I'm old.

Nice to meet you all.
I'm looking forward to getting to know a bit (but not too much) about everyone!

I want to ride that coaster NOW.
 
Welcome, Fen! Hope you find our accommodations to be to your liking!

Thanks! I'm experiencing information overload at the moment. It may take me a few days to get situated and find my way around.

It's not like we don't have plenty of time to get to know one another. ;) /creepmodedeactivated

No worries Fen, take your time ^_^
