i might've asked this already a long long time ago...... ;-) were you ever
on Lower Lights BBS?

I grew up in SLC also... altho thanksfully I managed to get out about 7
years ago :-) now I live in Denver.

and to contribute in a not-so-age/country way.. has anyone played Fable on
the xbox? I took a brief look at it and they keep touting that you have
morality (again, about 20 years after AR...) it looks really interesting
except i think it's kind of dumb how they spell out for you whether what you
are doing is good or bad. Not quite worth buying an xbox for still.

And I am still loving Final Fantasy XI ;-) talk about eating away at my
free time. I really don't think I'd stayed up til 5am playing games without
realizing it *since* AR, except for a 3 week unemployed stint with
starcraft.

And for those of you holding off for World of Warcraft.. anyone heard much
about it yet? I have talked to a couple beta-testers who also play FFXI and
they say it's complete and utter crap. It sounds like it is designed more
for the casual gamer than the insane addicts which are most MMORPG players.
