Maxxis Application - Maxxis - 03-22-2006
How should I start...well, I am an older gamer as most of you are and Kelrin is my son...yes, I am the reason he get's grounded and can't play!
I started gaming on the Atari 2600 and when I brought Kelrin home from the hospital I immediately put the Genesis controller in his hands!
I was the 26th Jedi to be unlocked on my server in SWG and have competed in CAL with CS and CSS.
I have a 60 undead rogue and am currently rank 6 and fully exaulted with AV.
I am a network engineer by trade and have a interesting work schedule but am willing to be with the team as much as my schedule will let me. I do find the time to play several hours daily and more on the weekends (when things are not going nuts at the NOC)!
Enough about that...I am looking for what you guys are! A good group of guys that know what you are doing or are in the process of doing so together as a team on a fair level.
I look forward to joining...

So...are you saying that if I say, "G'Night Kelrin!" over Guildchat that you could actually make it come true?
That would be sweet!
hehe
well, I am an older gamer - Iluyzhat - 03-23-2006
Older maybe, but probably not THAT old!
Anyway, I propose a test. Make Kelrin reroll as Alliance so we can really have some "fun" with him!
:lol: :lol:

You had me at grounding Kelrin...
- Maxxis - 03-23-2006
LOL, you guys are great...
I suppose we could work out a "deal" on the Kelrin thing...

Heck, we played Starcraft with our teachers during computer classes
Yea, but!!! - Iluyzhat - 03-23-2006
But you NEVER ever posted stuff in a forum during "school" hours where your parents could find it....the Internet is not restricted to "young" people, parents troll there as well...especially during working hours.

YOU MAY BE AN ENGINEER...
If you refer to your spouse as "\woman at home.wife,"
If when your family is expecting, you are more interested in the ultra-sound equipment than the test results,
If you find your head nodding up and down every time you read Dilbert,
If when your 3-year old asks "Why is the sky blue?" you start explaining it to them,
If you can explain which direction the water spins as you flush the toilet and why,
If you read PC World and Popular Mechanics while on vacation,
If you are willing to debate for two hours the possible results of an experiment that takes five minutes to run,
If you know the altitudes at which you must turn off electronic devices on an airplane, and why,
If Dilbert is your hero
If you can name 6 Star Trek episodes
If you look forward to Christmas only to put together the kids' toys
If you can quote scenes from any Monty Python movie
If, at Christmas, it goes without saying that you will be the one to find the burnt-out bulb in the string
If your ideal evening consists of fast-forwarding through the latest Sci-Fi movie looking for technical inaccuracies
If you have "Dilbert" comics displayed anywhere in your work area
If you carry on a one-hour debate over the expected results of a test that actually takes five minutes to run
If you are convinced you can build a phazer out of your garage door opener and your camera's flash attachment
If you don't even know where the cover to your personal computer is
If you know the direction the water swirls when you flush
If you own "Official Star Trek" anything
If you have ever taken the back off your TV just to see what's inside
If you are currently gathering the components to build your own nuclear reactor
If you are aware that computers are actually only good for playing games, but are afraid to say it out loud
If you truly believe aliens are living among us
If you have ever saved the power cord from a broken appliance
If you have ever purchased an electronic appliance "as-is"
If you see a good design and still have to change it
If the salespeople at Circuit City can't answer any of your questions
If you own a set of itty-bitty screw drivers, but you don't remember where they are
If you have more toys than your kids
If you have a habit of destroying things in order to see how they work
If you can remember 7 computer passwords but not your anniversary
If you have memorized the program schedule for the Discovery Channel and have seen most of the shows already
If you can type 70 words a minute but can't read your own handwriting
If you have more friends on the Internet than in real life
If you spend more on your home computer than your car
If you've ever tried to repair a $5.00 radio
If your three year old son asks why the sky is blue and you try to explain atmospheric absorption theory
If your 4 basic food groups are: 1. Caffeine 2. Fat 3. Sugar 4. Chocolate
