Long time gamer, sometime hardcore gamer, reduced in recent years to game enthusiast and/or early adopter. Age and family will do that to a body. These days, free time is a misnomer, so I’m very selective of what games I try out, and almost insanely picky about what games make the cut to stay in my “permanent collection” (also a misnomer; I’ve owned 17 game machines and at least a few hundred games over the decades, not to mention the multifarious uses of the evolving PC for gaming). These days, there’s always time for a bit of Wii Bowling or “green” as my little boy says when asking me to take the Wii Fitness Test, at least.

Biggest Pet Peeve: Ridiculous people with little or no concern for anything other than the little fantasy world they inhabit.
Odd Fact: I hold the Missouri State Quiz Bowl scoring record in perpetuity simply because the year after I broke the previous record, they changed the rules to where matches consist of a finite number of questions rather than having a huge pool of questions to fill a specified time.
