Played Diablo 2 online (first online game) and finished it. Played Dungeon siege 1 finished that got 75% through Dungeon siege 2 then got sidetracked with something else.

Now just when I was all set to finish the NWN original campaign some evil person introduced me to a game called City of Heroes and the NWN took a back seat again.

I will finish it i will.. i will..

Never liked the OC or any of the expansions.I was expecting Baldur's Gate and they just didn't measure up.However I have played some really excellent mods since though it's been awhile.
I bought my first Windows pc just so I could try out this new generation of pc games I'd been reading about called Ultima Online and Quake. Became a huge Online games addict after that. Before Gamespy there were a couple online games matching services like Mplayer and Gamestorm.I still recall the communities that sprung up around Air Warrior and Battle tech were so awesome to me. Large scale online games seemed so new and it seemed wild to be playing with someone and chatting it up from the other side of the world.
Before online gaming I was more of a hard core type gamer.I played the hell out of everything I boughtt till I beat or finished it. While I still enjoy enjoy single player games, I never finish them any more. I play them for a bit, then try something else. Single play nowadays is something I do when I can't find anyone online to play with, when I'm in the mood to play computer games that is.
I've also kind of come full circle in my gaming habits, as I've taken to playing tabletop and board games more lately. In recent months I've started playing Arkham Horror and Zombies with some friends, and have started assembling my horde of orks for Warhammer 20k ( And I might just actually get them put together and painted by the time I'm 60).
