OK, I couldn't let this thread die.

My name is Dirk and I'm a total nerd.

I've owned 2 Commodore computers, and thought 300 baud was fast.
Was in the SCA for several years.
I enjoy Father Ted, Red Dwarf, Monty Python and Conan movies.
I watched all of the episodes of "Farscape" back to back stopping only to sleep. Took about 67 hours. It was a continuity thing.
Played MechWarrior online for years.
Used to play D&D, a lot. Started the year it was invented - 1974.
My favorite book series are "The Chronicles of Amber", "Asimov's Foundation Series", "Frank Herbert's Dune Series" and "The Chronicles of Narnia".
Have 40k e-books and have had an e-book reader for nearly 10 years.
I still have a sword collection.
Robert Heinlein is my favorite author.
I can flint knap and love Paleolithic and Neolithic history.
There is a dragon perched upon my monitor
Have both a 10" and a 6" reflector telescope.
I think Dr. Who is cool, especially William Hartnell and Tom Baker.
There are 100 pounds of Star Trek collectibles in my attic.
I own the original soundtrack to "Blade Runner"
I invent and build ultralight backpacking stoves, using the name "FriarTuck1961" on You Tube. Friar Tuck is my backpacking alias.
I've seen every episode of "Time Team"
I am an Amateur Radio Operator.
"Glory Road" and "Roadmarks" are my favorite novels.
Stargate SG1 was my favorite TV show for years.
Own all the "Planet of the Apes" movies.
I have a sewing machine and sew my own ultralight camping tarps and equipment.
When it's hot in the summer I like to sleep in a hammock, in my bedroom.

I always preferred Gamma World and Star Fleet Battles (I was always the Gorn!)

in mid '90s, a PC game came out, Star Fleet Command, that COMPUTERIZED the SFB experience.

Oh the pain, I was mister " can't roll to get hits worth spit"... my value-add to the eperience was pathetic humor in action

oh, and Gamma World, in those days 18 yrs could buy beer, how I had forgotten that game. Our hard-core gamemaster is now a minister...

Thanks Wifezilla for the memories....

Both were great games.

I liked to play Melee, Wizard and WarpWar too. Avalon Hill's Stellar Conquest was pretty good too.
