I'm Matt, 32 and from Kansas City. I'm not sure what RP or LARP is either, so I'm guessing that's a no. I'm currently obsessed with BF3 and Zelda and just recently finished Assassins Creed Revelations. Once Mass Effect 3 comes out I'll be out 60 hours or so of life I can't recover, but it will be worth it. As far as fitness goals I've dropped my weight and then bulked back up w/ muscle so now I'm just trying to lose the fat but keep lean muscle mass. Simple enough right?0

LARP? Would love to try it, seems like it could be waaaay fun! Think I might end up sucking due to either lack of seriousness or horrible gaming potty mouth. Sasquatch gang really made me wanna try boffing (watch that movie if you haven't).

Walk on the Beach? I run!! And I'm on the south beach diet if that's what you meant
Anywho, i have xbox, just got the kinect and having much fun with the sports, especially beach volleyball and ping pong. I love RPGs such as elder scrolls, amalur, sacred, dragon age, wow. Fps is kinda hit or miss, I looove the halo series, and gears had me until the horrible worm part in 2. Oooh, and am stoked for borderlands 2, played the crap out of the first one for 3 months straight.
I often get nostalgic and find old pc games to play, such as kyrandia, commander keen, lost Vikings. Remember those? My dads leisure suit Larry game taught me my first English!
Other nerd-dom stuff: anime (good anime), firefly, d&d, magic, futurama best show ever, battlstar galactic a!!!!, have never cosplayed but really want to starting with zafina from tekken (butterfly).0 -

Hello, Matt. RP means "Role-playing" like the FF series, zelda, crono Trigger, etc. LARP is "live action role playing," which I've never done but it looks..interesting lol.
As for me, my name is Heather, 26 years old. From Missoula, MT but currently living in Cincinnati, OH. I've been playing video games for years. I'm definitely an RPG girl. The first one I ever played and finished was Crono Trigger, my favorite RPG of all time. 2nd in line would have to be FFVII. I like all kinds of games, though. I REALLY got into the Resident Evil series. I loved the first ones up through Code Veronica X, and was then blown away by number 4. I honestly didn't think I would like it as much since the perspective was so different, but it's now my favorite one. I've yet to play RE 5 since I just now got a PS3 (i know, behind the times.) I also really loved Indigo prophesy. Currently, I'm playing MW3, Boarderlands, and Heavy Rain.
Weight loss goals: I have lost 10 lbs so far. I have about 5-10 more to go. I'm focusing more on body fat % and BMI, though. My current body fat % is 26. I am taking a trip to Florida in July with my bf and want to look smokin in my bikini. lol Overall I want to be healthier and feel good in my body.

Howdy!
My name is Heather and I'm 36. Mother of 2 kiddos, Daughter 7 and Son 2 1/2. I'm also a SAHM and a gamer girl and it's all Hubby's fault.
It started when we were dating. He got me hooked on Playstation games. Spyro was my first game then Medieval. I've always loved Fantasy but I was raised in a very conservative Southern Baptist home. Pastor's daughter and my parents thought all Fantasy was evil. D&D was huge when I was growing up and there were horror stories about that game. My parents have since mellowed out and even come to like some Fantasy. LOTR type stuff.
Anywho, I fell in love with games and then hubby introduced me to Diablo II. OMGosh it was awesome! The expansion even better! We're so pumped for Diablo III!! We'd go hunting for new games but I'd always base it off of D II. I wanted another game like it. He'd tell me about Diablo clones so we'd go look at 'em. Some I liked, some I didn't.
Then WoW came out. I had never played or even been introduced to an MMORPG. When hubby told me that I could interact with other players I was very hesitant about that. I had heard that in D II if a player died, others could loot their corpse and take their loot. I didn't want that to happen so I wasn't sure about being introduced to that world. He reassured me that it wouldn't happen and then he was evil and showed me the trailer.
*squee with delight* When I saw the Night Elf turn into a cat I wanted to play that sooo bad. We were on Dial-up so we couldn't play right when it came out. Finally we got a house with high speed internet and got the demo. We were hooked within 2 hours of playing.
Yes, I started as a Night Elf Druid and hubby a Priest. Worked out great because I tanked and he healed. We leveled to 60 within 6 months. We missed the Opening of the Dark Portal event by 10 levels. We were very sad.
We started raiding with Karazhan and found out we love raiding! I main tanked it and he healed it. In TBC, we switched avatars. I started playing a Mage and he a Warrior. We raided all through TBC. In Wrath, he stayed Warrior and I switched to a Shaman. I'd swore up and down I'd never heal because I had a very bad experience while on my Druid. Well, in Ulduar, he wanted a Resto Shaman for his 25 man raid. He and several raid members talked me into it so I researched healing and walked into the next raid as Resto. I learned to heal in Ulduar with a 25 man raid! I love healing now and I'm a better healer than dpser.
We still play WoW and love it. We are a bit burned out on it atm. Cata isn't living up to our exceptions and is very lackluster to us. We loved Wrath and miss it. We're hoping that MoP will restore some excitement and love we have for the game.
Now, we're hooked on Skyrim! We only log into WoW 3 days a week to raid with friends and guildies.
As for why I'm here... Please don't laugh this is very hard for me to discuss with strangers.
I was at my heaviest after my son was born. 227 lbs. I started walking my daughter home from school when she started in Kindergarden. I dropped 30 lbs but gained 6 back on Christmas Break. So, I'm now at 27.5 lbs lost (199.5) and watching calories and exercising 3-4 x's a week along with walking when it's nice outside. But, my walking has slowed down because my son is no longer able to fit in a stroller so he walks with me. It's very sloooowwwww. I was walking very fast last year so I've started back doing "The Firm. The Wave" This spring when it's lighter out, I'm going walking again once hubby comes home so he can watch the kids. I'm hoping that will help speed up my loss.
Nice to meet y'all and as The Guild song says "Game On!"0 -

This made me laugh, one CCD class, maybe freshman year, me and 2 others were berated by a priest for playing D&D for the entire length of the class.0 -
Stuff like this angers me a little bit; people dismiss things they don't understand and don't bother to do the research necessary to prove anything! All my D&D campaigns have been with my Christian friends and we all have a blast! There is NOTHING WRONG with D&D--it's a tabletop strategy game with optional cosplay. To me that screams, "reliving childhood" more than demon-worshipping!!!!I've always loved Fantasy but I was raised in a very conservative Southern Baptist home.

The odd part? The reason that it turned into a class long topic was one girl was quite offended and fighting the priest hard on it. Said girl is now ultra ultra conservative and I believe now has the same views as that priest on the topic.0 -

I understand and agree with you. But, we lived in small towns and the view on D&D at that time was the fear of possession. The horror stories I was told was that a teen had "become" his character and was "possessed" and killed himself because the voice told him to. Or something to that effect. Knowing what I know now about Fantasy I can see the difference and I love the genre. People *can* take it too far but I've never heard of it happening as I'm older nor have I seen it. Now, in WoW some guildies and I RP a bit but *that* is a different matter entirely.0 -

Name's Deborah age is .. going to be 30 in a little over a month. Female of course. My gaming has consisted of Runescape > Wow > Runescape > Wow back and forth for I'd est probably 10 years I think. Kind of hard to realize that I've spent that much of my time online playing these games LOL. But hey as I like to say, I've had fun, I've got to know some great people and I wouldn't trade that Besides now I can learn to limit my online time and get my life back in order LOL. I stopped playing RS like 2 years ago I think. Been wow since then, I did play rift when it came out for like 2 months then went back to wow
Currently not playing any, I've given up internet/wow for lent (Except for MFP 
) And yes it is VERY hard LOL I thought about doing it the past few years but never thought I could ever do it. This year I'm gonna prove myself wrong hehe
I currently am running about 430 pounds, I probably easily put on 100 or 150 once I found RS and Wow. Working now on turning back the clock and I'm doing pretty good Should be total of 50 pounds lost from start within the next few weeks, not sure where I want to end up at, I don't want to be "skinny" even probably I just want to be healthy and just a lot less than I am right now
I play alliance on Andorhal one of the worst servers, severely low pop and horde favored lol. If you'd like a real ID add send me your email through pm on here. And if I don't talk a lot it's because I'm shy :$ But if you're willing to keep the conversation going I'll likely warm up to you haha I do log in and out a lot tho so sorry if that bugs people :P And again I won't be on til Easter :P Anyone looking for more friends can add me on here too of course 0 -
