That buxom gal swigging a frosty forty is not me. The photo merely represents my love for snug t-shirts, malt liquor, and wall maps.

Proud PC gamer since 1985 as a wee tot on my Commodore 64 playing Impossible Mission, Wizard, Ghostbusters, The Hobbit, Karateka, Law of the West, Psi-5 Trading Co. and all things InfoCom.

Built my first homemade PC in 1998 (so I could play "Unreal".)

Joined Steam online in Feb 2005, same day I purchased my retail "Half-Life 2" (the first game I linked to my Steam library.)

Things I do NOT game with:
1) laptops
2) VR
3) consoles
4) handhelds (phones/pads/“decks”)

Things I DO game with:
1) desktop
2) desktop
