I've been around since the first few weeks, but I haven't been able to play much recently due to my job. :'( And....I've been seeing a lot of new people in the forums recently, so I thought I should make an intro, before I'm totally forgotten. 
I've been playing games on PCs for as long as I can remember. Until the past few years I was limited to playing what my older siblings bought and shareware. I don't know what game I played first, but it was probably either Gorillas or Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego. Highlights after that, in roughly chronological order, are Sandstorm, Blake Stone, Descent, Novalogic flight sims, MS Flight Sim 95, Need for Speed 2, and Age of Empires 2. After that I went through a couple year period without playing many games, due to a shitty PC.
About 3 years ago, my parents bought a mid-range Dell, and I celebrated by buying MOH:AA for $10 at Walmart.
I beat the campaign, and thought I'd try out the MP for a laugh. It was the first time I had ever played an online MP game, and I became addicted. I played that for about a year, then bought COD:UO and played that for a year. I bought TF2 the day it was released and I've been playing it ever since.
I'm a mediocre TF2 player. Favorite classes are pyro, soldier, and spy. I also like to spam music, although some people would modify the word "music" with adjectives such as, "weak", "gay", and "pussy".
Name: ****** *****
Age: 18
Sex: Male
Orientation: Straight (mostly)
Education: Homeschooled K-12 and 1 year of community college. I'd like to transfer to a 4-year college next year, possibly St. Johns College in Santa Fe.
Religion: Atheist or Agnostic (depending on the mood I'm in)
Politics: Pacifist, pragmatic anarchist/libertarian (again, depending on my mood)
Favorite Music: Changes all the time. In the past month, I've been mostly listening to Gogol Bordello, Bob Dylan, Frank Zappa, Randy Newman (Pre-Pixar soundtracks), the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack, and 90s swing revival, i.e., Cherry Poppin' Daddies and Atomic Fireballs.
-I'm easily bored.
-I'm very lazy.
-Because of my laziness, I don't get mad easily. And when I do, I tend to forgive quickly.
-I can be easily convinced to change my mind about some things.
-I don't take most things very seriously.
-If I do appear to be serious, I'm probably not.
Ok. I think that's enough words for now. If you read them all, I'm proud of you. I apologize for the lack of bewbies in this post. I'll try to do better next time.
