About Me (In Real Life)

I'm a 53 year old divorced father with two teenage sons. I live near Seattle, WA USA where I work as a communications and network engineer. My youngest son (16) plays ATITD with me. My oldest son (18) is an avid gamer, but hates the grind of MMORPG's and refuses to join us. :(

My first exposure to ATITD was Tale 2. Nostromo lived in Valley of the Kings (VoK) where he lead a guild called "The Desert Monkeys" which consisted of myself, my youngest son, two of my nephews and a niece. After a year or so we eventually burned out and quit. Nostromo came back for the beginning of Tale 3 and lived by himself in Khartoum for a while but real life issues (i.e. the divorce) sapped my energy and I decided to bag it.

And now I'm back for Tale 4 with my youngest son. We'll see how it goes this time around.

BTW, "Nostromo" is the main character in my favorite Joseph Conrad novel of the same name. It is also the name of the ship in the movie "Alien", but that was actually an homage to Conrad.
