Tell me baby...what's your story?

[Saph]

My story is pretty simple.

I've always wanted to talk to gamers outside the games. I don't really have any gamer friends, since everyone in Denmark are just wannabe party animals who idolize the American Highschool kid(think American Pie), that's how they all are, they wanna be cool and popular world wide so they drive in convertibles and have lightly dressed women sitting ontop of the rear seats etc. etc. It might sound interesting but it's just another facade. Last year it was English, and the year before that it was italian with hand purses etc. Danish teenagers have no cultural identity, it's pretty damned sad.

Either way, I'm not a part of that norm, and as such I always lacked friends. I had 1 friend who was a gamer, but I havn't seen him in years since I moved to the US, so all the gamer friends I have are in the games themselves. I do have a few phone numbers, some of which are 2 dusin years old from when I played MxO.

I got pretty tired of having friends I could relate to exclusively on the games I played(Meaning I had to switch from game to game to keep in touch with my friends, or in WoWs case, server to server, faction to faction). And now that I am not playing WoW until further notice, I REALLY had no friends with the same interests as me. My wife does, I mean I met her on WoW so of course she's a gamer, but her PC was trashed during shipment so she has to steal mine to play singleplayer Minecraft, lol. Still trying to convince her to play multiplayer!
She swears that when we get to Denmark she'll get a new comp so we can play together again, I look forward to it.

Either way, this is about the forum, not my wife and I's gaming relationship!

As I said, I got lonely after leaving WoW, since my wife was too busy with real life and her self employed job etc. So I searched on google for Gamers, and this forum sprang up as first. I thought it couldn't hurt, but I was deffinately skeptical(tried several forums like this and they're all filled with immature adults or 10 year old children who will only want to talk about how awesome Hello Kitty Online is).

I was happy to see that this seemed to be different, so I sticked around and liked it more and more, and I got more and more interested in peoples posts, as they were actually intellectual and weren't just "haw haw u suk @ lif nub g0 plai wt yur momy and leve us prohz 2 teh gayming"

So here I am
