Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

Assistant Sales Manager for the business side of an ISP. But on the side I do computer repair (mostly data recovery nowadays), promotions and event planning, and I am a tinker. Give me any device (thats not gas powered) and Ill want to take it apart and try to fix it. Most recently vintage Pachinko machines and cathedral radios. I also dabble in writing and both videography and photography - it is kind of a family thing.

Why did I read that last sentence as 'I also dabble in writing pornography - it is kind of a family thing'? :shock: :o

I have a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Applied Mathematics and a M.S. in Electrical Engineering. I am currently working on a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering. I do biometrics research. My wife and I just celebrated out five year wedding anniversary this last Friday.

I really read about video games more than I play them. Apart from that, I'm really into running, lifting weights, and general fitness. I also enjoy playing guitar. I have notes for a several sci-fi short stories I want to write, as well as a couple of video games I'd like to write, but I can't really justify working on those while I should be working on my research. I plan to pick them up soon after graduation.

Niode. I am of the belief that both Porn and Soap Operas can be written via Mad Libs, think about it.

A valid point. It was more the family aspect that irked me. I completely glossed over the 'I write porn' bit and thought; whatever brings the cash in, it's probably really lucrative. What's this about it being a family thing?! :shock: Coffee + keyboard were in alignment.

My oldest brother is a videographer, my older brother a documentary filmmaker/musician, and my younger brother is a still photographer: mostly bands. I use to do film work, both actual film and digital, and have owned a couple dozen of both kinds of camera over the years. I got out of it since I like constant work. Though occasionally I can be winged back into it. One of my oldman friends need some crash cameras last year for a tv show, so I found him some 35mm Arri's and built some boxes for them. One was destroyed but the other three were bought by the production company - I just barely made a profit on them, but got a trip to Miami out of it.

Sorry, I cant say what show or use specific names. NDAs.

Married with no kids. B.S. in Information Technology. I work at a law firm doing part IT management, a bit of development and most of time doing things I never thought existed. If you look at my way of life you would never guess my hobbies: Anime, manga, video games, movies and books. And I think my wife would rather it stayed that way. My hobbies are not secret but I keep things to myself, so online forums are a must for me :P I find it difficult to take time for my hobbies because of "social" things to do. :lol:
Thanks everyone...

33 year old married father of two (three by the end of the year - there goes my gaming room!). I am an Accident & Emergency doctor and besides retro gaming I am into comic books, making my junior doctors paranoid, kayaking and world domination.
