About Me +
Welcome to my user page! I'm Josh, and I've been playing Guild Wars since May 2005. I've been into video gaming in general ever since I found my dad's old Atari 2600 in our basement. Then I got a Nintendo Entertainment System when I was about 7, and Super Mario Brothers hooked me for good. I currently own a Wii, DS, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 2 in addition to my PC.
I've played a variety of online games, including Dark Age of Camelot, Star Wars Galaxies, Lord of the Rings Online, and World of Warcraft, but I always find myself coming back to Guild Wars. I dislike raiding for hours to maybe have a chance at one piece of gear, and then having to repeat the process every week. Other games start to feel like jobs, but Guild Wars I can play for briefer periods and still feel like I'm accomplishing something.
I am currently employed as a "Lead Product Support Analyst" (an unnecessarily fancy way of saying "help desk manager") for a division of one of the world's leading software companies. I am married, and have a wonderful little girl who was born in 2007. My hobbies (besides video games) include Taekwondo, reading, science fiction (Star Wars and Star Trek - yes, I'm one of "those people"), movies, and watching NFL football (I live and die with my Indianapolis Colts).
I'm sure that's more about me than you ever wanted to know.
[edit] Page Format
As you can see from the user box at the right, this page layout is not my own design. I pretty blatantly ripped off Regina Buenaobra's page. Please don't tell her - I don't want all my characters to end up in The Mists!
