I like playing in the snow.
I love playing video games. Especially retro games, but I appreciate modern ones as well. The first game I ever played was Pool of Radiance back in the 80s. After saving the city of Phlan I was hooked for life. But Link to the Past remains the greatest game ever.
Currently shmups have displaced RPGs in my gaming life, but I still have a soft spot for Chrono Trigger.

Genesis

I like Euroboard games. Carcassonne, Settlers of Catan, Bohnanza, Samurai, these are fine things.
Random Fact: I am a curmudgeonly old man who studies English grammar in his spare time. Someday I aspire to write good.

Here it is, my sweet machine, which is not my Turning Point gaming rig. I bought this Gateway laptop about four years ago because I was going to study in England and the programme recommended I bring a laptop. It's been good to me and it fits my nomadic lifestyle, but upgrading is out of the question.
I've attempted to increase it's usefulness by taking full advantage of its four USB ports. Here is my shrine to modularity. Pictured are my keyboard, mouse, and external DVD burner. Not pictured is my 500 gig Seagate external drive. Also I have a sub on the floor that goes with the two Monsoon speakers. Finally you can see that it rests upon my headless Linux server. I use SSH and VNC to give it orders and it frees up my laptop for other work, not to mention keeping it at a comfortable eye level. This laptop has served me well, but it's not gonna run Crysis.
