I'm a gamer more for the fun than the achievements. When I play on-line, I got for brute force and ignorance, being as huge a pain in the enemies ares as possible. For this, I tend to play Tanks (get under peoples feel and in the way), Ranged DPS Casters (Rain of Fire!!!!!!) or Healers (You will NOT die by his hand, not while I have Duct Tape).

I also role play on line on occasion, almost always playing Dwarfs as they have a LOT of character (or they do when I play them). Hate Elves and Elf players, many who cross my path tend to run away crying once they realise they're playing the role play worlds failures (Take a read of Elf histories, you'll be surprised). Offline I'm more sedate, preferring squad based strategy games (Real time or turn based) although I do play a range of other genre's too.

I dislike Fighting and Driving games, have done since the late nineties. Couldn't tell you why I dislike them, just that they don't 'feel right' when I play them (Can't explain it better than that). Games with a driving element I can play and enjoy, as its not the only thing to do in the game.

I started playing back in 86 when my Uncle game me his old Atari 2600 with a dozen basic games. I played, I learned, I got better, I got addicted... havent stopped since. Over the years I've had the Sega master system and megadrives (not the Genesis though) , the Nintendo (with light gun) and a Commodor 64. However, when I first got my hands on a 486 pc (With 2mb Graphics card) and a handful of games, I almost overdosed.

All of a sudden, games started evolving in gameplay, not just graphics and difficulty. I was well and truly hooked on adventure games, swords and sorcery style games and simulators.... MECH Simulators. I'm a sucker for the MEchwarrior games, especially the Mercenaries games (tough game with added finances and weapon scrounging). <>
