Name:
Rogue, last time I checked. The nametag on the inside of my shirt says "Mark N Spencer" but according to my boxer shorts I'm called Calvin Klein. And people wonder why I'm confused
Location:
Somewhere in the depth of the 'shires in the UK Midlands.
Current Favourite Game:
Clone Campaigns still gets hit a few times a week as wifey and I like playing games we have a chance of winning
All-time Favourite Game:
Hmm. Bard's Tale had me hooked more than any other I think though this was a few *cough cough* years ago. I can still close my eyes and navigate around Skara Brae (forward three, turn left, enter guild...) Nethack still has a place in my heart.
Systems Owned:
Now or ever? Consider it thus, "now" involves five running PC's doing various jobs, three more functional but not running, several piles of bits and a precariously balanced tower of Cisco 25xx routers. Going back more than a few years would fill out the entire post...
Real-life hobbies/interests:
These have changed with age and money  Reading and learning new things is close to top of the list. If you're only counting things away from the computer then it used to be travel and languages (not that I was any good at them). Before married life brought a big tummy, it was also fencing, martial arts and tournament-level kickboxing - again, not that I was very good at any of them. Now my main interest is kissing, cuddling and playing with our beautiful baby daughter
Family:
One, slightly used but in good condition, would fetch reasonable price at auction  . Amazing wife, amazing daughter, amazing though fluffy and occasionally smelly kitten.
What brought me here:
Good luck and raw dragon magnetism. Bought a magical little device called Gamevoice, hit the forums looking for info. Came across yonder dragon enticing people, siren-like into his den of inequity and decided to follow. I still have the boom-box somewhere, too...
Origin of my avatar or sig:
Well, either my avatar is based around a strong conceptual appreciation of nihilism and its role in modern society or I'm too lazy to make one. My sig is just something I found somewhere. If things ever worked like I wanted them to then it would doubtless change all the time but hey, it never does work out that way.
Favourite movie:
Hard call. Princess Bride is a definate contender and it is good to see that it was mentioned a few times already. Spaceballs and Blazing Saddles would also join the scrap for the top spot.
Link to the previous poster:
Hmm. Well, based on Hero's sig then at time of posting we've both spent less than one hour playing Diablo II this week. Significantly less than 1 hour, in my case. Pretty much "1 hour's worth" less than 1 hour.
What keeps me loggin in? Well, apart from the stuff we all know - great place, great people, great news etc - I'm still waiting to hear that someone's published a book.
