When did I start gaming officially? God, I don't remember the year, but it was when I was little, playing Mario and Atari games with my older brothers. Man, those were the days when video games were cheesy looking as hell but still crazy fun to play. My first official computer game was probably Final Fantasy 8... though b/c my first computer was a piece of crap with a Pentium 1 processor, an 8GB hard drive, onboard video only, and running Windows 98, it really wasn't that much fun to play. Once I got my rig updated a little better, I got into Diablo II, some Red Faction thanks to Zigian, and just sort of snow balled things from there. I've been hooked on gaming ever since.

I got into PC gaming when I moved to Wichita. I worked with John "Rooster" White, who introduced me to StarCraft and Diablo. We became great friends and began hosting LAN Parties in my basement. Eventually we started this great community and the rest is history.

My first introduction to gaming came when I was a small boy. I remember my Japanese uncle showing my father NIBBLES.BAS for Microsoft QBasic. I was more curious than really hooked at that point, but that event seeded not only my gaming but my current software engineering occupation as well. I dappled in shareware, and played a lot of Commander Keen and Gizmos and Gadgets. Eventually I moved through console gaming: Metroid, Super Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong Country, Spyro the Dragon, and Metal Gear Solid just to name the big ones. But, after being introduced to lanning by two of my high school friends, I started PC Gaming in a hardcore way: Starcraft, Diablo II, and eventually Counter-Strike 1.4

My real name is Tom and I enjoy anime, gaming and fixing computers. I don't have much free time but when I clear the que of machines I practice Japanese. One of my dreams is to visit japan and eventually become a game Designer/Tester for Sega, or Nintendo.

That cow guy. I first got started gaming by Kasey(blighter). We played Commander Keen, Raptor, and Space Quest on my family's first computer which was a Packard Bell. My sister's friend Jessica's dad and I would play Diablo and Starcraft. Then I started playing again during high school. I played fallout and Lords of the realms 2. I joined with NerdFestLan and played half life, unreal tournament, and quake3. Went to lanlordz 11 and played red faction and ut2k4. Currently I am Bachelor of Science in Biology.

The first gaming machine I every messed with was a TI99/4A computer. I remember playing several games on it including M.A.S.H which was a land the helicopter and then preform surgery by carefully tracing the bit of shrapnel out of a maze of a body. The Nintendo series followed shortly there after along with the Sega and Dreamcast with games like Road Rash, Sketichin, Mario Bros, Mario Kart, and Metroid. Now I focus on PC games that offer COOP play with a few versus here and there.

I'm Artemis, aka Mrs. otac0n. I'm one of the LAN mommies. LaylaRose is ours. I graduated in 2008 with a double major in theatre and history, a minor in English.

I have been attending LAN Lordz for a couple years now. I have moved from being a console gamer to a PC gamer...even though I play on a Mac... My first video game was Super Mario World on the SNES. I have played all kinds of console games, racing, RPG, FPS, Fighting, etc. as I was raised on that. In more recent years, I started playing MMOs with the likes of Zig and Sav. I "graduated" from Guild Wars to WoW. As of the day that I write this, I play a Shaman with a gear score of over 2600. If you get that, grats to you. :) I have been an avid gamer since I was six years old. I am a full time student at WSU, with my major being History. I would like to teach at the college level after I finish getting my PhD. Other activities of mine include writing poetry, painting(a new hobby)Karate, and attending various WSU activities. Generally, I am an easy going person. Nothing really bothers me too much, because most things are too small to really worry about.

Most memorable games of my past: Dangerous Dave (DOS) LHX Attack Helicopter (DOS) Kung Fu (NES) Gun.Smoke (NES) Super Mario RPG (SNES) Ecco the Dolphin (Sega) Age of Empires II (PC) Medal of Honor Allied Assault: Spearhead (PC)

Ive been playing games since forever! My first game was Faxanadu on the nes. between then and now, Ive got uber-tech training and lots of life experience leading to me being an all around gameing nerd. I play console and PC games. It doesn't matter as long as the game really ROCKS ASS! BTW> Tom Clancy is a GOD>

Started attending lan lords with a friend about 3 years ago, turning away from consoles and never regretting the choice (/cry my poor halo...). Personally, not alot bugs me, I'm pretty laid-back, and enjoy wasting my time behind a screen. RTS, shooters, grinding on games. New old. Doesn't matter. Currently playing a lot of random steam games, ace online, WoW, and of course facebook appz :D **Now a proud dad :D**

I don't know what to put for biographies. I suck at biographies.

I started using computers when i was 2. I would crawl outta my play pen and start up my dad's computer but sadly couldn't reach the floppies to start a program. I started gaming on my big brother's NES, SNES, and GameBoy. I love Duck Hunt and Super Mario. My big brother only taught me how to do a hadoken and sonic boom on Street Fighter II and proceeded to kick my ass. My first console that was mine was a green GameBoy Color and i played Pokemon Yellow. My first console for TV was the original PlayStation and I bought it from a friend in high school. It came with Tekken 3 and Final Fantasy VIII, so that started my love for Tekken and was my introduction to Final Fantasy. I now have a NES, N64, GameBoy Color, Nintendo DS, PlayStation, PS2, PS3, PSP, and a computer

I am a 20 year old computer gamer who plays WoW, CSS, TF2, L4D (1 and 2), Crysis, and various other games!
