Hey, kids!
I just wanted to introduce myself, seeing as I'm brand new to these forums. I work for a national financial institution as an operations supervisor. I'm actually considering a job change at present to a much smaller bank (I'm tired of the corporate mumbo-jumbo). In my off-time, I enjoy playing board games. I would love to be involved in the development of a game someday. That includes computer and/or video games as well. I dabble in short story writing, but hope to one day write an actual book. I hate cell phones (although, I have come to depend on mine...unfortunately), love roses, and currently attempt to drink 8 glasses of water a day (quite the challenge, let me tell you).
I am a HUGE King's Quest fan! Of course, everyone says that here, right? I've been playing the series since I was eight (shortly after the release of King's Quest III). I started out on the extremely ancient Tandy 1000. The Tandys had no hard drive (at least not the one I had), so I had to swap disks between certain screens. It was SO slow. I had that ridiculous thing until shortly after King's Quest VI was released. Sad, old Tandy couldn't even complete the final puzzle of King's Quest V (the Mordack/wand challenge) because it was so slow. I would always die because I couldn't get the icon in the right spot and click in time! Thankfully, I have since upgraded my computer, but still enjoy a delightful romp through the entire series every now and again.
Anyway, that was a bit of a tangent. Congratulations is in order if you've made it this far through my lengthy post. In fact, I think I'll end it here. I'm excited to join this fantastic group of fellow KQ fans and I'm highly anticipating the release of KQIX.
Ta-ta!
