Gaming is likely why I got into drawing : ) I would draw Sonic a lot as a kid.


Same here. I had TONS of sonic drawings and I actually still have them. That's when I learned a lot about colors and how to blend them. I might have to keep you in mind for a fan RPG Maker project that I'm doing. Really like your style. 

Sweet, I am learning of more fellow doodler brothers x ) I lost most of my old drawings, or threw them away. Ugh, they are so bad...

Dang, I didn't learn blending until later... : X Nice on you. I did pick up on shading though : )

If you would like some art related for your game, you can keep me posted.  : )

You met your wife on Everquest? That's cool!

This is the first time (or one of the first) we grouped together. And that's my usual pose in the game, dead.

Little did I know back then, that it would lead to moving halfway accross the world.

That game was expensive, $100+ per month added to my phone bill just for playing that on dial up, $15 monthly subscription, $1500 PC. It was all worth it!

Yeah sure. When I'm far enough on the game I'll let you know. Of course you wouldn't be doing it for free, there's some compensation involved. 



This is a cool topic. A lot of answers dwarf mine in terms of substance, but for me, gaming has been a way to bond with existing friends, make news, spend time with my family, and provide a much needed escape and release from the world from time to time.

: ) Cool, thanks! I hope I can be of help when that time comes.

I don't have anything really special, I don't game as much as I used to as a kid. In all honesty I don't think I enjoy gaming as much as I used to in general. But I will say one thing I'm thankful of gaming is playing with my younger brother (of almost 10 years difference). Helps me bond with him and share him past experience I had with gaming.



I used to play a game called "Herecles" about, yes Hercules, but with the Greek spelling. So when we had to read the Oddesy in college - I already knew most of the characters and who 'powers' they had. It really gave me a huge advantage over the other students and impressed me teach so much that she invited me to take graduate level classes in my first year of college (those are classes for people that already have graduated from college.)

Also, recently, Trials Fusion, reminded me that it might take 78+ attempts at sometime to succeed. And it's ok to give up, walk away, and come back when you are ready to try again. And sometimes one just plays better after you sleep on something.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.
