LFG: Geeks and Gamers to embark on this quest!

Hi! I'm something of a casual gamer but don't often admit it because in my social circles, gaming is something considered to be for kids and young adults, but I'm 38.....it's very nice to find others online who enjoy the same pursuit - I don't feel so out of place here! lol

I'm not really big into console games, but that's usually because the camera movement in most of them tends to make me motion-sick, and there's not a lot of titles that I'm interested in. I do have a PS2 for Lord of the Rings: 3rd Age, and a Wii mostly for Wii fit (which I sadly haven't used in probably 3 years lol). Well, that and Mario All Stars so I can play Super Mario Bros 3

I"m considering buying my brother's Xbox 360 just for Lego Hobbit.......I do like turn based strategy as it allows me time to think and doesn't require a lot of fancy button work, but I'm having difficulty finding much on that front other than final fantasy.

I play a few older PC games, with my favorite being Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth (the 1st one, not the 2nd), and a cowboy strategy game Desperadoes, which I actually just started up again for the 3rd time last night While browsing the local gaming store the other day, I saw a X Box game called Dwarves that sounded interesting, and found that its also available as a PC game, so I'm going to check it out a little more and may end up getting it to try.

The only MMO I play is LOTRO, though since I don't currently have the internet and won't until I can get my old house sold, I haven't been able to log in for a while there. I've looked around for a few others, but the newer style gaming makes me motion sick - the inability to fix the camera to one position and to zoom out has really proven to be a hindrance for me. I wanted to try Neverwinter but couldn't for that reason. I tried ArchAge but didn't like how it pit players against each other; I really like PvE and players teaming up and am not so much interested in PvP or hard core raiding. I've heard good things about ESO but I don't think I can play it based upon what I've seen from the play style on Youtube.

I enjoy board games, too, but don't really have anyone to play with. My mom plays Yahtzee and my SIL likes Scategories, but I like Stratego and Risk. I'm interested in some of the European style games where there is a lot of strategy involved and even games where players play together as a team instead of against each other.

I've been interested in pen and paper RPGs for a while, but have never had the opportunity to play in one. The game system I'm most interested in is GURPS because its so adaptable - I enjoy fantasy but also westerns and would love to combine the two, except I don't care for steam punk......

Add me!
I've just started getting into playing D&D, and I just picked up WoW again after a 5 year clean streak.
I also play Dance Dance Revolution competitively, so it's nice to be able to get some exercise in my gaming. Lol.

I’m a gamer and always looking for friends
